Tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tus
Tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tus
Look here, listen, got a tip or two
Careful what you write, one slip kid, you are screwed
Ten was not my best year, hoped it could get better
Took a chance, put pen to paper, poured a dream into a letter
Did not want this, dyslexia’s not my friend
A note for St. Nick instead went to the king of sin
I been good, helped my mom,
Okay in school, but I can’t spell
Sent a letter to that kind elf
Box came back postmark said Hell
Tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, is that sulfur I smell?
Tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, the postmark’s from Hell (Huh, nice letter kid)
See what came today, a package from who I can’t tell
Shabby box that’s way too hot, uneasy dread casts a spell
Didn’t ask for a lot, books, a bike, games for fun
Instead, he sent pills, booze, cigarettes, dirty mags, a gun
I been good, help my mom,
Okay in school, but I can’t spell
Sent a letter to that kind elf
Box came back postmark said Hell
Tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, sulfur is all I smell
Tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, the postmark’s from Hell
Look here, listen, got a tip or two
Life it’s hard enough, without Lucifer
Next time proof your draft, don’t do this again
Misplace the N in Santa, might hear back from Satan
Tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, hate that sulfur smell, I don’t feel so well
Tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, tu, this sucks, it was postmarked in Hell
Hey, lighten up kid, it’s the holidays. Have fun, your buddy Satan
