Adams Wilson Lyrics for Santa Met My Family (and He Took My Presents Back)
Lyrics by Adams Eberwein
Music by Matt Riley
Santa hit the chimney with a crash and then a crack
Caved in the tin roof of our little South Jersey shack
That night I lost my childhood and I'll never get it back
When Santa met my family yeah he took my presents back
When Santa came around yeah well he saw us staring back
Daddy passed out there when he got home from the track
Momma's on the 5th cig of her 7th camel pack
And Grammy hit the business end of her homemade jar o' jack
When Santa met my family yeah he took my presents back
Santa split the scene yeah and he ain't never coming back
Traded milk and cookies for a 5-alarm heart attack
December means zip to me and that's a shame but it's a fact
When Santa met my family yeah he took my presents back
Conversation between Adams and bandleader Jimmy Carmichael
Jimmy: Say there fellas bring it down a notch, I wanna ask Adams here a question.
Adams: Oh what did you want to ask me, Jimmy?
Jimmy: Well, say there Adams, I'm just wondering what you think Santa had in his little bag there for ya?
Adams: Well, I'll tell ya Jimmy. He had a Supersoaker 2000.
Jimmy: Is that the one with the pump action?
Adams: That's the one. Would've gotten into a lot of trouble with that thing.
Jimmy: Well, what else?
Adams: He had a power glove and a nintendo.
Jimmy: Well, don't worry about that. That there power glove was kind of a bust. I don't think ya missed much. What else did he getcha?
Adams: He got me season tickets to NASCAR.
Jimmy: Holy smokes! You musta been a good boy that year!
Adams: Well yeah, I guess other than that one time I put my sister's pet hamster in the microwave...
Jimmy: Oh Jeepers!
Adams: ...Yeah I was on my best behavior.
Jimmy: Well what else did he have for ya?
He had monopoly for the monotony
The complete John Denver discography
and all the things my childhood lacked
Well Santa brought 'em then he took 'em back
