Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey Mr. Santa, how's it lookin'?
That 32 waistline, you better get cookin'
We need a big Santa, it's almost Christmastime
[Verse 2]
First stop, we gotta get to Chicago
The secret to the pizza there is in the dough
Italian beef with giardiniera, hot and sweet
Pop a Polish sausage on Maxwell Street
Windy City poppin' corn with caramel and cheese
Adds a couple notches to his belt with ease
[Verse 3]
We gotta get some gumbo in N-O-L-A
Santa needs a pot of crawfish étouffée
Andouille and jambalaya, Santa don't stop
A fried oyster po' boy and a nice Lagniappe
Fill him up with beignets and a box of pralines
We'll get his red britches bustin' at the seams
[Verse 4]
Hey Mr. Santa, how's it lookin'?
That 42 waistline, you better get cookin'
We need a big Santa, it's almost Christmastime
[Verse 5]
I never thought I'd see a skinny old St. Nick
It's mid-December Santa, better bulk up quick
Hit up every donut shop, a hundred dozen
That's just enough to keep the big man runnin'
[Verse 6]
Hey Mr. Santa, how's it lookin'?
That 52 waistline, you better get cookin'
We need a big Santa, it's almost Christmastime
[Verse 7]
Beat it down low over Memphis town
Find his favorite barbecue and pass it around
Biscuits, grits and gravy and some chow-chow too
Fried green tomatoes for the reindeer crew
Chicken wings, mac and cheese, some buttermilk pie
Puts the old sparkle back in Santa's eye
[Verse 8]
Hey big Santa, how's it lookin'?
That 99 waistline, you better get cookin'
We got a big Santa, it's almost Christmastime
It's almost Christmastime
It's almost Christmastime
