[Spoken Word] "Have you been good or bad this year? Santa knows and shifts his gear.. Were you naughty, then beware.. Because you're in Santa's care!" [Instrumental] [Intro] "Santa's Naughty List!" [Verse 1] Snow falls soft like sugar glaze, Candles glow in golden haze, Wrapping paper, ribbon twist, Everyone’s been checked and missed… Names are written, ink so neat, Some get smiles, some get sweets, Others get a box tied tight— Still a gift… just not quite right. [Pre-Chorus] Santa knows you’ve tried your best… He also knows you tried to test— [Chorus] Santa’s Naughty List, oh what a bliss, Every gift is hit-or-miss, Looks so perfect, fits just right, Till you read between the lines. Santa’s Naughty List, wrapped with care, Truths you didn’t know were there, Smiles wide, then silence hits— Welcome to the Naughty List. [Verse 2] For the gossip, quick to speak, Here’s a mirror—take a week, For the boss who “leads” with fear, A whistle no one wants to hear. For the ghoster, hard to find, A phone that rings… but never kind, For the liar, smooth and slick, A truth serum—wrapped real thick. [Pre-Chorus] Every box is dressed divine, Every bow is tied just fine— [Chorus] Santa’s Naughty List, don’t complain, You asked for gifts, not freedom from blame, Candy canes and tinsel bliss, With a little twist like this. Santa’s Naughty List, oh what grace, Consequences with a face, Hug it close and give a kiss— That’s the trick of the Naughty List. [Instrumental Break] [Bridge - Soft, Almost Tender — That’s the Knife] Some gifts teach, some gifts sting, Some gifts quietly change everything, Not coal, not fire, not shame or pain— Just you… meeting you again. [Verse 3] For the chronically “too busy” type, A calendar that fights back hard, For the critic never pleased, A taste of their own expertise. For the hero of every tale, A book where they’re a background male, For the one who never listens well, Noise-canceling headphones… that don’t. [Final Chorus - Bigger, Sweeter, Almost Holy] Santa’s Naughty List, sing it sweet, Christmas wrapped in irony, Love and laughter, snow and cheer, With a lesson hiding near. Santa’s Naughty List, joy persists, Even justice wears a kiss, Ho-ho-ho, no need to resist— Merry Christmas from the Naughty List. [Instrumental reprise] [Outro - Gentle, Smiling] Because even naughty hearts… Deserve a thoughtful gift.
