JD McPherson – Claus Vs. Claus lyrics

[Verse 1: JD McPherson]
Misses Claus, Misses Claus, tell me what is wrong with you
I'm seeing all those dirty looks from way across the room
It makes it hard to concentrate on teddy bears and roller skates
Can't you see I'm working here? There's so much to do
I've gotta finish up the list, I'm rolling up my sleeves
It's time to make that yearly trip, they call it Christmas Eve

[Verse 2: Lucie Silvas]
Mister Claus, Mister Claus, I really hope you know
You're not the only jolly elf that's running this North Pole
I fix the sled, pick up the slack, I keep the business in the back
You never tell me thank you and you barely say "Hello"
I guess I've had it up to here, I'll really be relieved
When you finally fly the coop come this Christmas Eve

[Chorus: JD McPherson and Lucie Silvas]
What happened to the Christmases of yesteryear?
Making toys and having a ball?
Now it seems the good old days have disappeared
Grumbling and bumping shoulders in the hall

[Verse 3: JD McPherson & Lucie Silvas]
Misses Claus, Misses Claus, I must apologize
I don't work any kind of normal steady nine-to-five
Oh honey, I'm aware of that, your building this and flying that
But don't forget who gets the reindeer ready for the sky
It's time we try to work it out I really do believe
We'll be dancing 'round the tree come this Christmas Eve

[Chorus: JD McPherson and Lucie Silvas]
What happened to the Christmases of yesteryear?
Making toys and having a ball?
Now it seems the good old days have disappeared
Grumbling and bumping shoulders in the hall

[Verse 4: JD McPherson & Lucie Silvas]
Misses Claus, Misses Claus, it's gettin' 'bout that time
I hope you understand you're still the apple of my eye
I was your lady, don't you know, before your beard was white as snow
Together, dear, one day a year we always get it right
Now that the sleigh is packed again I really do believe
I think I'm gonna miss you come this Christmas Eve
We're in harmony again, I really do believe
I think I'm gonna miss you, come this Christmas Eve
