People have often wondered how much weight does Santa gain
Eating all those cookies on Christmas Eve his belly must be strained
Is he Diabetic; being overweight and working only once a year
I worry sometimes how heavy he is for those poor reindeers
His doctor must be having fits when he checks his cholesterol levels
Living in the North Pole with all those elves I bet he never lifts a shovel
He has plenty of help so he no longer makes toys I’m told is true
What ever does he do to keep from getting bored when Christmas is through
But Santa that jolly old gentle soul has his dear sweet Mrs. Clause
Also overweight and baking cookies all the time without pause
For she loves her hubby just the way he is lovable, round and all
And really she whispered he’s very energetic and off season we have a ball
It might be all that sugar coursing through his veins waiting for this day
After Christmas Eve Santa just can’t get enough exercise in our special way
We have lots of time and I won’t be vulgar and go into too much detail
I’ll just say we’ve gone through thousands of beds, we keep breaking the rails
With a sweet smile and a giggle she pranced away on dancing feet
For it was Christmas Day and Santa would be home soon and not to sleep
Well people the secret has now been told how Santa keeps his physique
He loves his wife literally and eats lots of cookies with exercise until they’re weak
