INTRO: D  G  A7  D

D                              G
Christmas Day will not be very merry
   A7                              D
Explainin' to the children will be hard
           D                             G
Well it's Christmas Eve tonight and our beagle picked a fight
          A7                                D
With some reindeer that were grazin' in our yard


I let the dog outside to do his business
I forget to hook his leash up to the peg
First he and Cupid came to blows, then he bit Rudolph on the nose
And when I got there he was eyin' Prancer's leg


CHORUS:
    D           D/F#    G-G/F#  Em
Now I'm gettin' sued by Santa  Claus
     A7                             D    A7
He's claimin' mental anguish in his case
     D           D/F#    G-G/F# Em
Yeah I'm gettin' sued by Santa  Claus
       A7                             D
And my kids won't even look me in the face


D G A7 D


I tried to throw myself on Santa's mercy
I begged him but I wasn't gettin' thru
I said it's all your fault you know, he said now how can that be so
I said because we got the stupid dog from you


CHORUS


SOLO


CHORUS

     D           D/F#    G-G/F#  Em
Yeah I'm gettin' sued by Santa  Claus
        A7                             D    G   A7   D
Now I'm bunkin' with the beagle at his place

Couldn't we just settle out of court?
