SANTA AIN'T PAYING THESE BILLS [Intro – Spoken] Ho, ho, hold up! Before you start writing that Christmas list, Let Mama explain something! Santa ain't paying no mortgage around here! [Hook] Santa ain't paying these bills! No, he ain't paying these bills! He can ride around with reindeer, But he ain't paying these bills! Electric, water, groceries, Baby, all this stuff is real! You better thank your mama, Cause Santa ain't paying these bills! [Verse 1] You want a phone, you want a drone, You want a game with a headset on. You want a bike, you want some shoes, You want everything you see on the news. I'm standing here with a shopping cart, Trying not to have a shopping heart attack! Price tag jumping, pockets shrinking, And you asking me for a snack! [Pre-Hook] Jingle bell, jingle bell, Money going down the drain, Santa riding in a sleigh, While I'm driving in the rain! [Hook] Santa ain't paying these bills! No, he ain't paying these bills! He can slide down every chimney, But the mortgage standing still! Santa ain't paying these bills, Better learn yourself some skills, Put them toys back in the basket, Cause Santa ain't paying these bills! [Verse 2] Christmas tree leaning to the side, One little bulb don't wanna shine. Dog running off with the ribbon roll, And somebody done ate my cinnamon roll! Mama trying to cook that ham, Everybody asking, "Where's the jam?" I said, "If y'all don't get up out this kitchen, I'ma put everybody on a cleaning mission!" [Bridge – Choir Call and Response] Who paid the lights? (Mama did!) Who bought the food? (Mama did!) Who wrapped them gifts? (Mama did!) Who loves them kids? (Mama does!) [Verse 3] But when I see them smiling faces, All my worries melt away, Cause the Lord done kept this family Through another Christmas Day. I may fuss and talk some mess, But my love is mighty real, And I'll do it all again next year, Long as Yahweh pays the bill! [Final Hook] Santa ain't paying these bills! But the Lord keeps making a way! We got laughter in this household, And we made another day! [Outro – Spoken] Now Santa, if you listening, You can at least pay the water bill! Ha-ha! Merry Christmas!
