about

Ho, ho, hello! That's right all you naughty and nice boys and girls, we're back for the 4th year in a row with a brand new Christmas single. This year Santa is out to share his love of punk rock and his DIY spirit, and to prove that you can never judge a book by it's big jolly cover.

As with all of our Christmas singles we will be giving all the money that we make to charity, and this year we have chosen to once again donate to our good friends at amazing local homeless charity Launchpad. Find out more about the vital work that they do here: www.launchpadreading.org.uk

If you like then please share with the masses! Merry Christmas.

lyrics

Lyrics:

I don't have a mohican
I don't have a Black Flag patch
I don't have a dog collar
I don't wear a Misfits badge
But I am DIY
I'm the rebel with a Claus
My name is Santa
And I'm a punk rocker (oi, oi)

I don't work for the man
And I don't work to get paid
I listen to Combat Rock
While I'm flying on my sleigh
I'm a man of the people
And I'm Christmas to the core
My name is Santa
And I'm a punk rocker

When they hear me shout "ho, ho, ho"
They know I'm on my way
And there's twenty, twenty, twenty-four hours to go
Until Christmas Day

I don't have an Oi tattoo (no way)
I don't swear or spit
But I do drink on the job
And I wear boots and braces
I've got a friend called Rudie
And he can't fail

There won't be a silent night
When this Santa comes to town
My name is Santa
And I'm a punk rocker

When they hear me shout "ho, ho, ho"
They know I'm on my way
And there's twenty, twenty, twenty-four hours to go
Until Christmas Day
