Lyrics

Hands up!
'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse
The rifles were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes an intruder soon would be there
The children were nestled
All snug in their beds
While visions of shooter drills
Danced through their heads
So Ma in her Kevlar and Pa in his red hat
Sat up in their chairs all night waitin' to blast a cap
Don't shoot it's Santa!
Don't shoot its Santa!
He's only here to bring your children toys
Don't shoot it's Santa!
Don't shoot the reindeer!
Hang your guns back on the hearth for this one day of the year
From out on the drive way
There came a happy noise
Pa sprang to the front door
And had his rifle poised
Ma went to the window and threw up the sash
She saw eight frightened reindeer and a stranger with a sack
The moon shone bright
On the driveway below
Ma looked a little closer
And saw Santa standing in the snow
His hands were raised above his head his voice shook with fear
"I've only come to you in peace and to bring some Christmas cheer!"
Don't shoot it's Santa!
Don't shoot its Santa!
I'm only here to bring your children toys
Don't shoot it's Santa!
Don't shoot the reindeer!
Hang your guns back on the hearth for this one day of the year
Hands up!
The children heard the noise outside
And ran to check it out
They stood in front of Santa Clause
Waving their little arms about
They called out to their Ma and Pa their voices filled with tears
"It's only Father Christmas come to bring us Christmas cheer!"
Don't shoot it's Santa!
Don't shoot its Santa!
He's only here to bring your children toys
Don't shoot it's Santa!
Don't shoot the reindeer!
Hang your guns back on the hearth for this one day of the year
Hang your guns back on the hearth for this one day of the year
Hang your guns back on the hearth for this one day of the year
Hang 'em up!
This is crazy town!
Hang 'em up!
Yeah!
Put 'em away!
Don't shoot anybody at Christmas!
