🎤 Santa King of the Jews

An unsolicited Christmas present to the world.

Absolutely no one has ever asked me for the lyrics and guitar tablature for the Lonesome Buckwhips Christmas song. But that’s what you’re getting for Christmas. You lucky, lucky subscribers.

SANTA KING OF THE JEWS

by The Lonesome Buckwhips.

Tablature by Miri Buckwhip

Verse:

D A G D

On the twenty-fifth day of the holiday month Santa was born

D A

He had red pajamas and black gumboots

F G D

And a big white beard like God

Three wise men came a knock knock knocking

And gave him a sleigh

Said you can do what you like for the rest of the year

If you just work this one day

Bridge:

Am Bm

So Santa took his sleigh from Bethlehem

C D

To the heart of the cold north pole

Am Bm

Where he wrote the bible and made some toys

C D

Died on the cross and saved our souls

Chorus:

C D

Santa Santa Santa

C G D

Santa King of the jews

C D

Maybe the world would be a better place

F G D

If all the muslims knew about you

Verse:

Santa’s words are crystal clear

Matthew three verse six

He’ll rise from the dead to destroy the world and

Bring all the children gifts

Some smart arse kids round the age of ten

Think it’s cool to deny our man

But santa wipes that smile right offa their face

With the back of his jolly fat hand

Bridge:

Some might believe in invisible gods

Who might not exist at all

But you can see Santa from eleven til two

Down at your local mall

Chorus:

Santa Santa Santa

Santa King of the Jews

If it wasn’t for you, all I’d get for Christmas

Is a day and a half in lieu

Rock!

Benny’s solo

Miri: Hey

Gary: Said Mary…

Arty: Ho ho ho ho ho

Gary: Said Joseph…

Arty: Brrrr

Gary: Said the donkey

Arty/Gary: Hey ho hey ho, ho ho ho aHHHHH!

Chorus

Santa holy Father Christmas

Ho ho fricking ho

Sit on his knee and give him your heart

Because Santa Christ is lord.

This song is from Episode 3 of our series for Radio New Zealand. It was - and perhaps still - replayed every year between Christmas and New Years, when few are listening to the radio and absolutely no one is entertaining broadcasting standards authority complaints.

Start here, and if you like it you can always go forward and back in the series.

Enjoy.

And Merry Christmas to all my subscribers, and you less committed lurkers.
