G

[Verse 1]
       G
At the koc local 313
         C                       D
There's a fat man standing by the soda machine
       C                   D
And he knows, he knows, he knows
            G
Life can be funny

[Verse 2]
             G
He calls the hair salon says put loretta on
          C                             D
Cause the mall just called and said the last guy's gone
      C                 D
And I know, I know, God knows
            G
We need the money

[Chorus]
          C       G
And he's a big red cherry
        C          G
But it's hard to be merry
         C            G
When the kids are all laughing
       F                C
Saying hey it's Jerry Garcia
        D
Ain't he cute?
                       G
The man in the santa suit

[Verse 3]
G
And all the moms in town they bring their brats around
          C                            D
But they can't sit still or keep their rootbeer down
C                   D
Now it's up, hey how 'bout that
                   G
It looks like a milkshake

[Verse 4]
G
Now Jimmys grown this year says mommy quick come here
C                      D
Santas sweaty and he smells like beer
C                      D
And he says, kid shut your mouth
                 G
You give me a headache

[Chorus]
           C       G
And he's jolly and hairy
           C       G
But it's hard to be merry
  C            G
When the guys at the bar
           F                      C
say he looks like a fairy, but he's doing it
       D
Just for the loot
                      G
The man in the santa suit
