My favorite Christmas song is about Santa being stuck in the chimney. It’s called “There’s Something in the Chimney”. It just seems like that is something that would happen in our family.

My kids came in when they heard this and started laughing saying that’s just something that would happen since I’m a very accident prone person. We first heard it in New Hampshire and now we play it all the time.

The funniest part is they keep saying that the thing in the chimney has been there all week long and no one bothers to check until it starts smelling and Santa doesn’t show up at their house.

I feel sorry that my favorite song isn’t about the joys of the Christ Child being born but most of the songs are about it and I realize what the holiday is all about. We play “Little Drummer Boy” and all the religious songs too but once in a while you have to add a little laughter and happiness throughout the year.

This song has replaced our old song of “Grandma got run over by a reindeer”.

The Chimney Song Lyrics

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

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

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

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