Loretta Lynn's, "To Heck With Old Santa Claus"
The Lyrics:
So this year I'll build a big fire in the fireplace
Just like three little pigs I've read about.
And when that big bad wolf in red comes down the chimney,
He'll burn his whiskers, there'll be no doubt.
So to heck with old Santa Claus!
When he comes dashing through the show, I hope he falls.
I'd like to hit him in his ho-ho-ho
With a bunch of big snowballs!
To heck with old Santa Claus!
Just like three little pigs I've read about.
And when that big bad wolf in red comes down the chimney,
He'll burn his whiskers, there'll be no doubt.
So to heck with old Santa Claus!
When he comes dashing through the show, I hope he falls.
I'd like to hit him in his ho-ho-ho
With a bunch of big snowballs!
To heck with old Santa Claus!
Why:
This could really put a damper on anybody's Christmas spirit, whether one believes Santa Claus to be real or not! And yet it is sung to a rousing and lively tune that could fit joyful lyrics. If I were Loretta, I'd be slower to admit wanting to act like pigs, even in allusion to a story in which the pigs were the heroes. The pigs' heroism certainly doesn't much transfer to her plan expressed herein!
