[Verse 1]
D                            G                 D
Down in the workshop all the elves were making toys

        G                          A            D
For the good Gentile girls and the good Gentile boys

         D                      G                  D
When the boss busted in, nearly scared 'em half to death

      G                            A              D
Had a rifle in his hands and cheap whiskey on his breath
[Verse 2]
         D                         G            D
From his beard to his boots he was covered with ammo

       G                         A          D
Like a big fat drunk disgruntled   Yuletide Rambo

       D                        G              D
And he smiled as he said with a twinkle in his eye

       G                             A         D
"Merry Christmas to all - now you're all gonna die!"
[Chorus 1]
G      D    G          D
  The night Santa went crazy

G      D         A         D
  The night Saint Nick went insane

G    D               G         D
  Realized he'd been getting a raw deal

G           D               A              D
  Somethin' finally must've snapped in his brain
[Verse 3]
          D                          G        D
Well, the workshop is gone now, he decided to bomb it

     G                           A         D
Everywhere you'll find pieces of Cupid and Comet

       D                           G              D
And he tied up his helpers, and he held the elves hostage

       G                           A        D
And he ground up poor Rudolph into reindeer sausage!
[Pre-Chorus]
       G          D               G          D
He got Dancer and Prancer with an old German Luger

       C                      G           D
And he slashed up Dasher just like Freddy Krueger

       G           G                   D
And he picked up a flamethrower and he barbecued Blitzen

       G                            A                D
And he took a big bite and said "It tastes just like chicken!"
[Chorus 2]
G     D     G          D
  The night Santa went crazy

G     D          A            D
  The night Kris Kringle went nuts

G                D            G         D
  Now, you can't hardly walk around the North Pole

G         D           A        D
  Without steppin' in reindeer guts!
[Bridge]
C                      G             D     A
  There's the National Guard and the FBI

          C                       G
There's a van from the Eyewitness News

                D                      A
And helicopters circlin' 'round in the sky

        Bm                     G
And the bullets are flyin, the body count's risin'

    E                   A               D
And everyone's dyin' to know, oh Santa, why?
[Interlude]
G                   D
My, my, my, my, my, my

            G               D
You used to be such a jolly guy
[Verse 4]
D                   G             D
  Yes,Virginia, now Santa's doing time

     G                      A        D
In a Federal prison for his infamous crime

D                                G           D
Hey little friend now, don't you cry no more tears

         G                               A            D
He'll be out with good behavior in seven hundred more years.
[Pre-Chorus]
        G          D           G              D
But now Vixen's in therapy and Donner's still nervous

        C                                  A      D
And the elves all got jobs working for the postal service

         G        D                  G           D
And they say Mrs. Claus she's on the phone every night

       C                      A     D
With a lawyer negotiating the movie rights
(They talk about) [Chorus 3]
G     D     G          D
  The night Santa went crazy

G     D           A        D
  The night Saint Nicholas flipped

G           D             G        D
  Broke his back for some milk and cookies

G           D             A                 D
  Sounds to me like he was tired of getting gypped
[Chorus 4]
     G     D     G           D
Whoa,  the night Santa went crazy

G      D          A           D
  The night Saint Nick went insane

G    D               G         D
  Realized he'd been gettin' a raw deal

G            D               A              D
   Somethin' finally must've snapped in his brain
[Outtro]
G               D               A              D
Whoa, somethin' finally must've snapped in his brain

G                  D               A              D
Tell ya, somethin' finally must've snapped in his brain...
