Even Santa Needs a Break Sometimes - Bowling for Soup

Well after Christmas time he heads to a warmer spot

He grabs a snorkel & fins and he checks out the reefs

He cuts back on cookies cause he's at the beach

Mrs. Claus comes too and she does yoga

And she sends "thank you" cards to the elves who work hard

To make Christmas toys for the girls and boys

But she doesn't miss any of the background noise of the toy shop

Even Santa needs a break sometimes

Because he works so hard on the night that he shines

He likes to have some fun just like everyone

So you shouldn't be surprised

That even Santa needs a break sometimes

Well in the spring time he plays himself a lot of golf

He hangs with the Easter bunny and helps the calendar arranging

Cause the date of Easter Sunday is always changing

He does video chats with home to check on things

And to make sure there's no fighting during reindeer games

And he updates the elves on the current trends

Because they're all back at work as soon as summer begins each year

Even Santa needs a break sometimes

Because he works so hard on the night that he shines

He likes to have some fun just like everyone

So you shouldn't be surprised

That even Santa needs a break sometimes

It's unfortunate but he usually fights the summer cough

But he uses the downtime to start his list

Of the good boys and girls who will make a wish

They'll send him a note or whisper in his ear

What exactly it is they want for Christmas this year

And if you mind your manners and you do your chores

One of his stops on Christmas Eve just might be your house

Even Santa needs a break sometimes

Because he works so hard on the night that he shines

He likes to have some fun just like everyone

So you shouldn't be surprised

That even Santa needs a break sometimes

Even Santa needs a break sometimes
