Santa Claus has got the AIDS this year
And he won't be 'round to spread his Christmas cheer
The reindeer all look blue
They know what he's going through
Santa Claus has got the AIDS this year

He won't be singing out ho, ho, ho, ho
But he'll be yelling out no, no, no, no
The nurses all look sad
'Cause Santa's got it bad
Santa Claus has got the AIDS this year

Oh, this is Santa Claus saying I won't be here this year
I'm sick, I'm sick, but next year, next year

Twelve months to wait, and then
He'll soon be 'round again
But Santa Claus has got the AIDS this year

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
