Cold tears fall from his eyes
  As he turns into the night and walks away
  Lucille runs outside
  Just to see if there might be a sleigh
  Little Bobby stares down
  At the plate where cookies still lay
  And tries to understand
  Why momma said Santa can't stay
  
  Chorus:
  Momma said Santa can't stay
  Said she told him that twice yesterday
  Then a car just like Dad's
  Pulled out and drove away
  After momma said Santa couldn't stay
  
  They both heard him coming
  Saw Mom run down the hall and holler wait
  Doug you're drunk don't come inside
  I'm not joking I've had all this I can take
  He threw a present really hard
  That almost hit Mom's new boyfriend Ray
  And yelled ho-ho lucky for you she's here
  And said that Santa can't stay
  
  Chorus:
  Momma said Santa can't stay
  Said she told him that twice yesterday
  Then a car just like Dad's
  Pulled out and drove away
  After momma said Santa couldn't stay
