[Verse 1]
There’s something Cstuck up in the chimney and I dGon’t know what it is
But it’s bFeen there all night Clong.
Well, I wGaited up for Santa all Christmas night
But he nFever came and it don’t seem riGght
That there’s sComething in the chimney and it doGesn’t make a sound
But I Fwish you a mGerry ChriCstmas.
[Verse 2]
There’s something Cstuck up in the chimney and I Gdon’t know what it is
But it’s Fbeen there all week Clong.
Well, the Gdog keeps barking up the chimney flue
And I Fdon’t know what we’re Ggonna do
‘Cause there’s Csomething in the chimney and it dGoesn’t move around
And it’s bFeen a weeGk since ChrCistmas.
[Verse 3]
There’s something stCuck up in the chimney and I dGon’t know what it is
But it’s Fbeen there all month lCong.
Well, it’s jaGmmed up tight above the fireplace
And the hFouse smells funny, such a big Gdisgrace
That there’s sComething in the chimney and it doGesn’t talk at all
And it’s Fbeen there sinGce last CChristmas.
[Verse 4]
There’s something sCtuck up in the chimney and I doGn’t know what it is
But it’s Fbeen there all year Clong.
I’ll be wGaiting up for Santa like I did last year,
But my brFother says he’s alrGeady here
And he’s sCtuck up in the chimney and he doGesn’t say a word
And he’ll bFe there Gevery ChrCistmas
And we’ll hGave him eFvery ChrCistmas!
