Charlie McDonnell - In the absence of christmas

^EmSitting in the living room, ^Cstaring at the decorations ^DFeels so out of place in ^Cthis house ^EmSucking on a toffee apple, ^Cmunching on some pumpkin pie ^DSeems so out of place in ^Chis mouth ^EmSuch incongruous cuis^Cine, he eats a tange^Drine to clean his p^Calate ^EmSomeone get that man a mince ^Cpie, before he starts to ^Dcry Ding dong merrily on ^Chigh

^CWhat does Santa Claus ^Ddo for Hallow^Geen? ^DOh, woah ^Coh ^CWhat does Santa Claus ^Ddo for Hallow^Emeen?

^EmTrick or treaters come a-knocking ^CAt Saint Nicholas' door, but he^D ain't got no candy f^Cor them ^EmTrick or treaters getting angry, ^Cthrowing eggs at Santa's door But he ^Dtells them they'll be sorry come De^Ccember 24 ^EmThis holiday, it makes no sense, no ^CGold no Myrrh no Frankincense ^DBaby Jesus would be taking of^Cfence ^EmSanta's slouching by the ^Cfire in his jovial at^Dtire He collapses to his knees, won't somebody help him ^C- please?

^CWhat does Santa Claus ^Ddo for Hallow^Geen? ^DOh, woah ^Coh ^CWhat does Santa Claus ^Ddo for Hallow^Emeen? ^CWhat does Santa Claus ^Ddo for Hallow^Geen? ^DOh, woah ^Coh ^CWhat does Santa Claus ^Ddo for Hallow^Emeen?

And he ^Clights a Jack-o-lantern, and he ^Dthrows it in the road And the ^Gkids all start a-screaming as the ^Clantern does explode But the ^Cparents of those kiddies hold old ^DSanta to the ground Now Saint ^GNick is quite surrounded and Hallo^Cween is safe and sound

Oh, ^Cwhat does Santa Claus ^Ddo for Hallow^Geen? ^DOh, woah ^Coh ^CWhat does Santa Claus ^Ddo for Hallow^Emeen?
