I came down the stairs at 7 looking kinda just like Kevin
When his family left him behind
And I knew I was being accused of
a Christmas crime (Christmas crime)
Grandma said that I was guilty
with a look that coulda killed me
And I didn't know what to do
So I crossed all my fingers and said,
"Was it you-know-who?" (You-know-who)
She said, "Who stole the cookies
from the cookie jar?"
She said, "Now,
who pulled the bourbon out from Grandpa's bar?
And the tree on the ground,
tell me, who knocked it down?"
My hands were red, so I said
Blame it on Santa
Blame it on the reindeer in the sky
But don't check the camera
I swear that I was fast asleep last night
Oh, I know I look suspicious
For goodness sake, it's Christmas
I know you believe
Don't blame it on me
Blame it on Santa
Oh, the footprints on the table,
I know they might match the label
Of my favorite pair of dancing shoes
So real quick, I said,
"Doesn't Saint Nick wear a size ten too?" (Yes, it's true)
She said, "Who ordered pizza on my credit card?
All twenty-two giant pizzas on my credit card?
And that skunk that I smell, let me guess, was an elf"
She said, "Come clean," "It wasn't me"
Blame it on Santa
Blame it on the reindeer in the sky
But don't check the camera
I swear that I was fast asleep last night
Oh, I know I look suspicious
For goodness sake, it's Christmas
I know you believe
Don't blame it on me
Blame it on Santa
He mighta had too much eggnog
He mighta heard that Christmas song
Blame it on Santa
Blame it on the reindeer in the sky
But don't check the camera
I swear that I was fast asleep last night
Oh, I know I look suspicious
For goodness sake, it's Christmas
And I know you believe
Don't blame it on me
Blame it on Santa
Don't blame it on me
Blame it on Santa
