He's been doing the same job now going on two thousand years

He's got pains in his brain and chimney scars cover his buns
Dia menderita sakit di otaknya dan bekas luka cerobong menutupi roti nya
He hates to admit it, but Xmas is more work than fun

Mr. Claus has a has escape plans, a secret that only he knows
Mr Claus memiliki rencana pelarian, sebuah rahasia yang hanya dia yang tahu
Beaches and palm trees appear night and day in his dreams
Pantai dan pohon palem muncul siang dan malam dalam mimpinya
A break from his wife, half-frozen in life
Istirahat dari istrinya, setengah beku dalam hidup
The elves and that damn reindeer team
Para elf dan tim rusa sialan itu
Ho, ho, ho and a bottle of rum
Ho, ho, ho dan sebotol rum
Santa's run off to the Caribbean
Santa lari ke Karibia
He thinks about boat drinks and fun in the sun]

Ho, ho, ho and a bottle of rhum
Ho, ho, ho dan sebotol rhum
Plastic creations and crass exploitations aren't good
Ciptaan plastik dan eksploitasi kasar tidak baik
He wants to go back to simple toys made out of wood
Dia ingin kembali ke mainan sederhana yang terbuat dari kayu
Just for the weekend he's like to be Peter Pan
Hanya untuk akhir pekan dia seperti Peter Pan
Get out of his long johns and dance with a sword in the sand
Keluar dari johns panjang dan menari dengan pedang di pasir
(Chorus)
(Paduan suara)
Ho, ho, ho and a bottle of rhum
Ho, ho, ho dan sebotol rhum
Snata's off to the Caribbean
Snata pergi ke Karibia
Marimbas, calimbas, he's playing steel drums
Marimbas, calimbas, dia sedang bermain drum baja
Ho, ho, ho and a bottle of rhum
Ho, ho, ho dan sebotol rhum
Ho, ho, ho and a bottle of rhum
Ho, ho, ho dan sebotol rhum
Santa's off to the Caribbean
Santa pergi ke Karibia
A week in the tropics and he'll be alright
Seminggu di daerah tropis dan dia akan baik-baik saja
Sporting a tan as he rides out of sight
Menempel kulit cokelat saat ia naik dari pandangan
Merry Christmas to all and to all good night
Selamat Natal untuk semua dan untuk semua selamat malam
