[Verse] Don't keep Santa Claus busy From Thanksgiving to Christmas day He likes to take his time out in the woods With Mrs. Claus and a doublewide stack On his sno-cat goin' away [Chorus] He just wants a lot of room And a month up North Where the heifers lay li'l hatchlegs out He just wants a lot of room And a month up North So the moose can moan And it's cold there north of Mankato [Verse] He just wants a big fat dog Waddle around and drag him through the snow He just wants a big fat dog Full of land and room And a few old legs for sittin' out He just wants a big fat dog [Chorus] He just wants a lot of room And a month up North Where the muskrats lay their hats off He just wants a lot of room And a month up North So the snowman throws a fit and flees South [Verse] Late in December Guitar strummin' slow Singin' with Timmy Rudder up North And Rlynn Too On horseback With Anneli and Tease Up around North Bay The dogs The deer The sun The snow It's all gravy to me Early sunshine on Christmas morn Jake your horse is ready to pull a sleigh [Chorus] He just wants a lot of room And a month up North Where the silver saxophones are all on sale He just wants a lot of room And a month up North Joking and I love the shimmer and the trails And the days And Feeny and the fish and the great beaver
