verse 1 
                  C                              G 
There’s something stuck up in the chimney and I don’t know what it is 
          F                   C 
But it’s been there all night long. 
         G 
Well, I waited up for Santa all Christmas night 
        F                             G 
But he never came and it don’t seem right 
              C                                G 
That there’s something in the chimney and it doesn’t make a sound 
      F           G        C 
But I wish you a merry Christmas. 

verse 2 
                  C                             G 
There’s something stuck up in the chimney and I don’t know what it is 
        F                    C 
But it’s been there all week long. 
          G 
Well, the dog keeps barking up the chimney flue 
      F                     G 
And I don’t know what we’re gonna do 
              C                                 G 
‘Cause there’s something in the chimney and it doesn’t move around 
          F        G          C 
And it’s been a week since Christmas. 

verse 3 
                    C                            G 
There’s something stuck up in the chimney and I don’t know what it is 
         F                     C 
But it’s been there all month long. 
             G 
Well, it’s jammed up tight above the fireplace 
         F                             G 
And the house smells funny, such a big disgrace 
              C                                G 
That there’s something in the chimney and it doesn’t talk at all 
         F             G        C 
And it’s been there since last Christmas. 

verse 4 
                   C                              G 
There’s something stuck up in the chimney and I don’t know what it is 
         F                   C 
But it’s been there all year long. 
         G 
I’ll be waiting up for Santa like I did last year, 
         F                  G 
But my brother says he’s already here 
          C                               G 
And he’s stuck up in the chimney and he doesn’t say a word 
           F       G        C 
And he’ll be there every Christmas 
           G        F       C 
And we’ll have him every Christmas!
