I came down the stairs at 7 looking kinda just like Kevin

When his family left him behind

And I knew I was being accused of a

Christmas crime (Christmas crime)

Grandma said that I was guilty

with a look that coulda killed me

And I didn't know what to do

So I crossed all my fingers and said

"Was it you-know-who? " (You-know-who)

She said, "Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar? "

She said, "Now

who pulled the bourbon out from Grandpa's bar?

And the tree on the ground, tell me, who knocked it down? "

My hands were red, so I said

Blame it on Santa

Blame it on the reindeer in the sky

But don't check the camera

I swear that I was fast asleep last night

Oh, I know I look suspicious

For goodness sake, it's Christmas

I know you believe

Don't blame it on me

Blame it on Santa

Oh, the footprints on the table

I know they might match the label

Of my favorite pair of dancing shoes

So real quick, I said

"Doesn't Saint Nick wear a size ten too? " (Yes, it's true)

She said, "Who ordered pizza on my credit card?

All twenty-two giant pizzas on my credit card?

And that skunk that I smell, let me guess, was an elf"

She said, "Come clean, " "It wasn't me"

Blame it on Santa

Blame it on the reindeer in the sky

But don't check the camera

I swear that I was fast asleep last night

Oh, I know I look suspicious

For goodness sake, it's Christmas

I know you believe

Don't blame it on me

Blame it on Santa

He mighta had too much eggnog

He mighta heard that Christmas song

Blame it on Santa

Blame it on the reindeer in the sky

But don't check the camera

I swear that I was fast asleep last night

Oh, I know I look suspicious

For goodness sake, it's Christmas

And I know you believe

Don't blame it on me

Blame it on Santa

Don't blame it on me

Blame it on Santa
