1995 Off-Broadway Songs For A New World - Surabaya-Santa Lyrics
I was just seventeen When you rode into town Just a girl full of fantasies and longing I saw you I knew I had to be with you
Then you looked in my eyes And you asked me my name And I trembled before you like a baby Then gently I kissed you Who could resist you? You took my heart and soul
And before I had a chance to take control We retired to your palace on the Pole Where we only had ourselves And the reindeer and the elves And a lot of things we never said About the life I could have led If I had had the sense to stay away
But here we are Nick And so Nick I know it's time for you to go Nick I know by now I'll never claim you for my own I've been resigned to spend my Christmases alone And so au revoir Nick It's grand Nick I don't pretend to understand Nick I saw you look at Blitzen long and lovingly The way you used to look at me
I have sat twenty years In this drafty retreat As the latest in the line of Mrs. Clauses I've sat here And wondered what you want from me But you sit by yourself On the couch in the den And you watch "Miracle on 34th Street" You get sad and dreamy Can't even see me Won't even say, "Hello!"
Now you tell me that it's time for you to go Ha! Sling your sack upon your back and "hohoho" Ha! And what matters most of all Is to sit inside some mall And you never think of me While I am pining by the tree But never mind I will survive While you are gone
I set you free, Nick Goodbye, Nick Go ride your reindeer through the sky, Nick I don't suppose you'll ever want me by your side I know you now You want a plaything, not a bride So on your way, Nick Shalom, Nick Don't feel the need to hurry home, Nick Should I want comfort in the cold and bitter storm I've got the elves to keep me warm
Oh, oh, Nick, I didn't mean it. I'm just going crazy all cooped up in here! Oh, Nick, I mean, come on, I'm not even German. Please take me with you. Please! I'm your wife damn it. Isn't there one once of human decency buried beneath all those layers of fat? You disgust me! Oh yes, It's so easy to judge, isn't it? Deciding who's naughty and who's nice? Well who died and left you God and Mr. Claus? Hmph.
But never mind, Nick Okay, Nick I hate to keep you from your sleigh, Nick When you return I will be many miles away I'll have my lawyer call your lawyer New Years Day!
That's all from me, Nick Gain way, Nick I'll miss you less than I can say, Nick Have fun with all the little boys along the route I'll get the mansion and the factory to boot I will not wait until the snow beneath me thaws I will escape Your Santa claws
[Thanks to Michael for lyrics]
