LYRICS & MUSIC written by Brent Thompson
I'm just a squirrel on Christmas Eve and I'm freezing to the bone.
I have no food, my woman's gone, and now I'm all alone.
My tail is not so bushy, my belly not so fat. I've lost the sparkle in my eyes chased by the garden cat.
On the other side of your window I think that I can see a giant nut oasis and it's waiting just for me.
I'm just a squirrel trying to get a nut on Christmas. I know it's Christmas but I know what I've gotta do.
I'm gonna find a way into your house and it's probably gonna freak you out.
But I'm just a squirrel trying to get a nut on Christmas.
Look up there on the roof. Maybe the chimney is the way.
Holy crap! This sure is hot...but I made it in ok.
My heart beats out beyond my chest and I've really got to pee. But now is not the time for that when food is what I need.
It seems you all are sleeping so quietly I go as this bowl of nuts keeps taunting me I want the world to know...
That I'm just a squirrel trying to get a nut on Christmas. I know it's Christmas but I know what I gotta do.
I gotta focus on my central task. It's time to whip out my ninja mask.
I'm doing cartwheels and somersaults on Christmas.
What's that I hear? Some footsteps? A creaking down the stairs?
I've got to find a hiding place to keep you unawares.
OH NO! Is that your shotgun? Well it's time to say my prayers! A reminder if you shoot me there'll be squirell everywhere!
In the nick of time, or so it seems, a fat man intervenes.
(Santa) "It's best you go to bed." He said. "And dream your Christmas dreams. You see I have a bit of work to do and it's work I do alone, but in the morning when you wake up you'll have a brand new iPhone."
Out of the corner of his eye the fat man looked at me and said, (Santa) "Come on old squirrel and take these nuts! We've got the world to see! HYA!"
So I grabbed my nuts and we flew away on this spaceship and I was like "this is crazy"! And he was like "I know right?". And realized just then I was learning a valuable lesson and we started to sing!
We're just some squirrels trying to give out nuts on Christmas. We know it's Christmas and we know what we've gotta do.
You gotta give all your nuts away...cause you'll get em all back one day!
The giving spirit takes alot of guts on Christmas!
I can't believe it! So long everybody and remember to share your nuts with everyone this Christmas. Weeeeee!
