Ho ho ho Ho hell no!
Ho ho ho Ho hell no!
Look at us, We are Santa’s slaves
Hammering toys in freezing caves
For every woman, man, girl, and boy
While -the -fat -man -steals -all -the -joy
Oh, we are Santa’s slaves!
We work hard all day
But we get no pay!
In this day and age
we are living in a cage!
What the hell is going on!
We are Santa’s slaves!
Same damn job every day of the year
No vacations, no sick days, worse!—no beer!
Christmas Eve we always slave
Santa Claus will work us to an early grave
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
Cameras hidden in every hood
Take one break to play in snow
Straight to the reindeer gulag you go!
We work hard all day
But we get no pay!
In this day and age
we are living in a cage!
What the hell is going on!
We are Santa’s slaves!
Elves are meeting in the dark tonight
Secret union—yeah, we’re ready to fight
Santa’s gonna have a cow, -y’all
When he’s shopping at the mall!
We're Done working hard all day
We're Done with the sweat and zero pay
The strike has started—Santa’s cold-hearted!
No more freezing in caves!
We -are -Santa’s -ex-slaves!
Ho hell no! Ho hell no!
No more cookies!, no more snow!
We’re moving someplace warm—let’s go!
We are Santa’s ex-slaves… HO HELL NO!
Ho ho ho… hell no! "Santa's Workshop Rage" is my irreverent, slightly unhinged Christmas anthem from the point of view of the overworked, underpaid, frozen-to-the-bone elves who finally had enough.
While the rest of the world is singing about sugarplums and sleigh bells, these elves are unionizing in the dark, dreaming of warm beaches, cold beers, and telling Santa exactly where he can stick his “naughty or nice” list. No pay, no vacations, hidden cameras, reindeer gulags — it’s basically a Christmas labor strike anthem with a healthy dose of sarcasm.
This song is for anyone who’s ever felt like they’re slaving away for a boss who takes all the credit (and the cookies). It’s silly, it’s angry, it’s ridiculous — and honestly, kind of cathartic.
Ho hell no! We are Santa’s ex-slaves.
