Lyrics
The heart of the city just skipped a beat
We read it in the news tonight
This year will be the last, it can't go on
We hope you took it in your giant stride
Queen Street just won't be the same without you Santa
The city walk at Christmas time is gonna be a little less colourful
We'll miss ya
They say it costs too much to keep you now, sorry Santa
All that vintage fiberglass to paint and store is quite a lot of cash
So Santa you're retiring
Taking off your boots and hanging up the sled
Oh Santa you're off to greener pastures
Will you take the reindeer?
You're gonna miss those dears
Santa you're retiring
Thank you for the years, and all the big parades
Santa you're retiring
Oh, will you go on tour, or just enjoy the break?
We will still have the Christmas windows at Smith and Caughey
We will still have the lights on Franklin Road
We will still have the memories
You made it bigger, brighter, better
Thank you, Santa
Queen Street just won't be the same without you Santa
The city walk at Christmas time is gonna be a little less colourful
We'll miss ya
They say it costs too much to keep you now, sorry Santa
All that vintage fiberglass to paint and store is quite a lot of cash
So Santa you're retiring
Taking off your boots and hanging up the sled
Oh Santa you're off to greener pastures
Will you take the reindeer?
You're gonna miss those dears
Santa you're retiring
Thank you for all the years, and all the big parades
Santa you're retiring
Oh, will you go on tour, or just enjoy the break?
