[Chorus]

Santa Claus got a dirty job (Dirty job)
A                 D
Santa Claus got a dirty job (Santa Claus got a dirty job)
                  G
Santa Claus got a dirty job
       A                 D     D
And he does it all night long

[Verse 1]
      D
Well, every year old Santa Claus loads up in his sleigh

And them reindeer running in front of him
     A
Kick mud up in his face
          D
And those chimneys he goes climbing down
       G               D
Ain't exactly all that fun

But if he don't do it, nobody will
    A
So, Santa's gonna get the job done

Don't you know that...

[Chorus]
D
Santa Claus got a dirty job (Dirty job)
A                 D
Santa Claus got a dirty job (Santa Claus got a dirty job)
                  G
Santa Claus got a dirty job
       A                 D     D
And he does it all night long

[Verse 2]
        D
Through wind and rain and blinding snow

Santa Claus never slows down

He's gotta keep on pushin' them reindeer hard
        A
If he's gonna hit every town
D
Sneakin' in, sneakin' out
      G                 D
For a twenty four hours straight

Gotta outrun them big yard dogs
A
Gotta do whatever it takes

Don't you know that...

[Chorus]
D
Santa Claus got a dirty job (Dirty job)
A                 D
Santa Claus got a dirty job (Santa Claus got a dirty job)
                  G
Santa Claus got a dirty job
       A                 D
And he does it all night long

[Spoken Bridge]
D
  You know, John, I was just thinkin'.
          A                         D
Old Santa Claus, he's a big man (He is).
D
He visits over three hundred million folks
G                                    A
Every year (Woo!). And every year he goes

You know what he finds? (What?).
D
Cookies, and he eats them, he's gotta.

He's Santa Claus, it'd be rude not to,
A                                   D
I'm just sayin'. You wake up in the middle of the night

and you see that big man in your house makin' a
   G
Be-line for the bathroom.
    A                               D
You best get out of his way, 'cause you know...

Santa Claus got a dirty job
       A                 D
And he does it all night long

[Chorus]

Santa Claus got a dirty job (Dirty job)
A                 D
Santa Claus got a dirty job (Santa Claus got a dirty job)
