A Little Humor: Santa Clause Is Watching

I was crazy about the irreverent humor MAD magazine when I was a kid. 

I recall they had a recurring feature in which they stated that the offered satirical cartoon and lyrics should be “sung to the tune of…,” usually a popular and well-known song. 

So, in the spirt of Christmas and MAD magazine, I’d like to offer the below, sung to the tune of Santa Clause is Coming to Town:   

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why, Santa Clause is with the FBI
 

He's making a list
He's checking it twice
He's going to find out
Who's naughty and nice, Santa Clause is with the FBI

He sees you when you're sleeping

He knows when you're awake
He knows when you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

So, you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why, Santa Clause is with the FBI
 

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why, Santa Clause is with the FBI

He's making a list
He's checking it twice
He's going to find out
Who's naughty and nice, Santa Clause is with the FBI

And as I love military black humor, I recall this song during the Vietnam War, sung to the tune of Jingle Bells:   

Jingle Bells

Mortar shells

Viet Cong in the Grass

Take your Merry Christmas

And shove it up your ass

Just a little humor. Merry Christmas.
