lyrics
Every year on Christmas
Santa flies around the world
Bringing toys and presents
To good little boys and girls
With billions of toys to deliver
And billions of chimneys to climb
How could poor old Santa
possibly get it all done in time
Santa's got a time machine
Got a flux capacitor under the seat
Of his sleigh, he's traveling
With gallifreyan reindeer
And presents to bring
With 2 billion children
And one single night
Santa need a time machine
To finish it all before daylight
Santa's got a time machine
In Chattanooga Tennessee
Santa flies out of the vortex
With a hoverboard for Zachary
Then over to Cordoba
Argentina where Regina
Wants some new
Ballerina shoes
And when he gets around to Middletown
Lauren wants a terrier
Or a poodle or a Bassett hound
Then to Ottawa Canada for Joshua
Santa's got a toy Chewbacca
In and out of the vortex
North south east west
Sally in Chicago asked politely for a clarinet
Jesse, a synthesizer with a million presets
Ashley up in Hartford
Wants a Harry Potter box set
Santa's got a time machine
Got a flux capacitor under the seat
Of his sleigh, he's traveling
With gallifreyan reindeer
And presents to bring
With 2 billion children
And one single night
Santa need a time machine
To get it all done before daylight
Santa's got a time machine
From Bogata Columbia
To Bucharest Romania
Santa's bending space time
For some reverse kleptomania
He's got a time machine
Santa's got a time machine
