Weird Al Yankovic - The Night Santa Went Crazy Lyrics






Down in the workshop all the elves were makin' toys
For the good Gentile girls and the good Gentile boys
When the boss busted in, nearly scared 'em half to death
Had a rifle in his hands and cheap whiskey on his breath
From his beard to his boots he was covered with ammo
Like a big fat drunk disgruntled Yuletide Rambo
And he smiled as he said with a twinkle in his eye,
"Merry Christmas to all - now you're all gonna die!"

The night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nick went insane
Realized he'd been gettin' a raw deal
Something finally must have snapped in his brain

Well, the workshop is gone now, he decided to bomb it
Everywhere you'll find pieces of Cupid and Comet
And he tied up his helpers and he held the elves hostage
And he ground up poor Rudolph into reindeer sausage
He got Dancer and Prancer with an old German Luger
And he slashed up Dasher just like Freddy Krueger
And he picked up a flamethrower and he barbequed Blitzen
And he took a big bite and said, "It tastes just like chicken!"

The night Santa went crazy
The night Kris Kringle went nuts
Now you can't hardly walk around the North Pole
Without steppin' in reindeer guts

There's the National Guard and the F.B.I.
There's a van from the Eyewitness News
And helicopters circlin' 'round in the sky
And the bullets are flyin', the body count's risin'
And everyone's dyin' to know, oh Santa, why?
My my my my my my
You used to be such a jolly guy

Yes, Virginia, now Santa's doin' time
In a federal prison for his infamous crime
Hey, little friend, now don't you cry no more tears
He'll be out with good behavior in 700 more years
But now Vixen's in therapy and Donner's still nervous
And the elves all got jobs working for the postal service
And they say Mrs. Clause, she's on the phone every night
With her lawyer negotiating the movie rights

They're talkin' bout - the night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nicholas flipped
Broke his back for some milk and cookies
Sounds to me like he was tired of gettin' gypped

Wo, the night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nick went insane
Realized he's gettin' a raw deal
Something finally must have snapped in his brain
Wo, something finally must have snapped in his brain
Tell ya, something finally must have snapped... in his brain

    I have this memory of this song, well it was only a clip of the song, and it was on my old macintosh back in 95' when we moved from USA to Croatia, and when I finally found out this whole time it was al yankovic, it reminded me of my childhood and my lovely time playing games on the old macintosh playing peg-leg, outpost, jump raven. Ah memories.

  49. E.... B....

    Weird Al wrote this song in the mid 90's, I wonder if he cringes at how it's aged in light of current events... Not that anyone wants a world without it!

    E.... B....

    the only thing thats changed is the shear fucking fearmongering of shootings.

  50. T.... f....

    We find the defendant on the naughty list

  51. S.... U....

    When it says he ground up Rudolph:

    Fucking dumbass

  58. S.... W....

    Always listening to Weird Al and this song every year around xmas

  59. B.... A....

    Hahaha wow

  60. J.... R....

    They say he had a rifle but that’s a sawed off shotgun...

  61. c.... s....

    This needs to be age restricted

  62. J.... M....

    What Santa did in this song may have been wrong and unlawful, you can't blame him for it. I mean, how would *you* feel if, for over 100 years, you'd been braving freezing coldness and scorching heat (in the tropics) to deliver toys to good children, and all you got in return was a lousy plate of Oreos and a glass of tepid milk? Santa was most likely a stone's throw away from diabetes, and we drove him to it. In fact, all of this bloodshed could've probably been averted if we'd left him something better, like money, 'cause parts for those toys he delivers don't come cheap.

    J.... M....

    He had plenty of money, billions of $$ from all that white powder he's been selling over the years.

  63. P.... I....

    Listening (again) in 2019!

  64. S.... K....

    poor ranideers even rodof 😩🥺

  65. B.... M....

    This is the best christmas song ever! LOL

  66. T.... o....

    I just came here after listening to "This Chrismas" by "Set it off". I think here weird al succeeds in every aspect Set it off fails in when trying to make a twisted Christmas song

  67. 9.... G....

    Merry Christmas 2019 🎁 🎄 😄

  68. B.... S....

    I used to watch this on Albino Blacksheep everyday

  69. P.... ....

    Me age 7: this is a bop

    Me age 10: oh god this song is really fucked up

    Me age 13: this is a bop

  70. A.... R....

    Best way to start Christmas 2019!

  71. S.... D....

    Best time of the year. Not just because of Christmas, but because I can finally rock out to this song.

  72. T.... B....

    Well, this sure beats the hell out of watching Frosty The Snowman!

  73. A.... W....

    The gun grabbers are about to
    Red Flag Santa. And take his sled.

  74. M.... t....

    I’m back every Christmas

  76. R.... B....

    Pumped up kicks, Christmas edition.

  77. O.... O....

    Weird Al is so awesome, and he as person absolutely fascinates me. Also, he lost both his parents, very suddenly and at the same time. He kept touring, too.

  78. H.... C....

    Idk why this is so nostalgic for me

  79. S.... ....

    It makes you wonder, if Santa thought he was getting gypped why didn’t he just say so, he could of just talked to Mrs Claus, and the elves about it, and just told them hey this needs to end, or be drastically changed I mean he’s the boss...
    Unless this is not the full story... What if Mrs Claus had been cheating on Santa for the past 20 years with the head elf every Christmas eve when he was gone, and the reason she hadn’t left him yet was because she enjoyed the Benifits of being married to Santa himself, but she was no longer sexually attracted to him anymore, and all the rain deer and elves knew it was going on, but kept it from him in fear of hurting him, or having him not believing them, and pissing him off or something. What if he had just found out a year before, causing a huge fight, and falling out, causing the relationship to end. Which lead to him not being able to deliver all the presents making it the worst Christmas at the North pool history. Which lead to millions of kids becoming disappointed and writing letters to him saying how bad their Christmas was because of him. Which Caused Santa to fall into a deep depression, and isolate himself from everyone over the year more and more growing more resentful every day of everyone, because he thought everyone had betrayed him, and that he was being used, and began to drink more and more until becoming a full on alcoholic until finally this happens. Now it all makes sense. he had enough of everyones shit. It also makes sense why Mrs. Clause wanted the rights to the movie. Turns out she was a gold digger all along.

    S.... ....
