    The A side track "Santa Claus Is A Monster" was composed by Jeff Hershey and Sam Bolle. Kind of an homage to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, this song is a darker take on the xmas holiday. 2 B-Sides include cover versions of the classics "Santa Claus" and "Don't Believe In Christmas" made popular by legendary garage band The Sonics. This single was released on 7" vinyl in Europe on Soundflat Records SFR-45-025. Limited copies available.

lyrics

Well mom and dad said be good
So I did what I should
I hung my stocking on a wall
I didn't get a thing at all

I don't believe in Christmas
I don't believe in Christmas
I don't believe in Christmas
'Cause I didn't get nothin' last year

Well stayin' up late at night
To see Santa Claus fly
Well sure enough don't ya know
The fat boy didn't show

I don't believe in Christmas
I don't believe in Christmas
I don't believe in Christmas
'Cause I didn't get nothin' last year

Well I tried to get a little kiss
From a pretty little miss
She slapped me down and said, "You jerk
Mistletoe doesn't work"

I don't believe in Christmas
I don't believe in Christmas
I don't believe in Christmas
'Cause I didn't get nothin' last year
All right!

Well Rudolf the reindeer
Makin' little kids cheer
The reason that his nose shine
Santa gives him moonshine

I don't believe in Christmas
I don't believe in Christmas
I don't believe in Christmas
'Cause I didnt get nothin' last year

Ah decorate the street lights
People gettin' half tight
One hand will slap ya back
The other one will take ya jack

I don't believe in Christmas
I don't believe in Christmas
I don't believe in Christmas
'Cause I didnt get nothin' last year
All right!
