twas the night before christmas i was walkin the street
central avenue downtown saint pete
a homeless guy comes steppin up to me and says
can you spare a dime cause i'm real hungry
i fumbled through my wallet lookin for some cash
but all i had was twenty bucks to buy a gallon of gas
but i said hey buddy it's nice to meet ya
let me use my mastercard at fortunato's pizza
i got a few slices for my new bum friend
and i asked him bout the bruises he had on his head
it was this guy named eddie punched me in the face
just for gettin in his girlfriend's personal space
and then he said his goodbyes and headed into the night
and i figured he's another guy who just ain't right
but when i woke up finding presents scattered over my floors
i realized that homeless guy was santa claus


it's christmas time in pinellas park
and all the old people are asleep by dark
my neighbor's rottweiler is startin' to bark
and there's been another shooting at the trailer park
david boston's broke down on park boulevard
cause calling yellow cab's number is just too hard
the love sponge bubba's rocking on the air
but he just can't keep the fcc out of his hair
but if it ever gets you down remember we got ours
cause pinellas park has got a dozen nudie bars


it may be a wacky place but we call it home
and when it's holiday time you ain't never alone
from tarpon springs to skyway up and down nineteen
there ain't a starbucks that ain't rockin' red and green
and to all the scientologists that we have here
i hope you get your engrams all nice and clear
pinellas county listen to my cheer
we want to say merry christmas and happy new year
