Dusk

Snow is falling all around
And I am filled with Yuletide cheer
But I'm haunted by certain acts
I performed this time last year

And though the bells are ringing out
for this December day
I'm still ashamed of all the things
That I'm about to say

Up went the red fairy lights
That night to earn my pay
Elves all queuing for a ride 
That wasn't on a sleigh

A budget spread so thin
Meant that I had to find a way
The money for your presents
Came from working Christmas day

Cos Santa was my pimp
And I was his Christmas whore
Those weren't just his footsteps
You heard outside your bedroom door
He swaggers with a candy cane
But it's not for a limp
I'll tell you why:
Cos Santa was my pimp

Polishing some baubles
Underneath the Christmas tree
A thorough check of Santa's sack
But nothing there for me

A budget spread so thin
Meant that I had to find a way
The money for your presents
Came from working Christmas day

Cos Santa was my pimp
And I was his Christmas whore
Those weren't just his footsteps
You heard outside your bedroom door
He swaggers with a candy cane
But it's not for a limp
I'll tell you why:
Cos Santa was my pimp

Take it Rudolph!

But working for that old man
Left me feeling cold as ice
I've done my share of naughty
I think I'll try being nice
So I walked right out the North Pole
And told him where to go
Now you'll never catch me
Being the fat guy's HO HO HO

Santa was my pimp
But now he isn't any more
So this year I'll put my stockings
On the wall not someone's floor
It'll be a merry Christmas now I'm
No-one's festive gimp
I'll tell you why:
Santa was my pimp
