Over slate rooftops and sheer north cliff face drops
Seven deadly seas, won’t keep him away
If it was me then I would be scared
Up there all alone and fifty thousand feet in the air
And with so far to go does he feel all alone
Dodging planes mid-war or seeing the North Pole ice caps thaw
Even Santa Claws needs somebody to call
Especially on the loneliest night of all
On the loneliest night…
(So why should we even care?)
‘Cause he’s just like you and me
(What’s mine and what’s yours I share)
Sometimes we all get lonely
(But why should we waste our prayers?)
Let me tell you now, everyone somewhere needs someone needs someone to love
Snow on the mountains
Under his slay
Oceans and canyons
He’s making his way
So why should we even care?
(Because he’s just like you and me)
He only works for one night a year
(Sometimes we’re lonely)
His zero hours contract is not fair
Yeah, and everyone somewhere needs someone to love
To reach our shores
He needs to pass our backwards laws
Stays up all night
To make us feel
So why should we even care?
(Because it’s wonderful at Christmas time)
It’s only once a year
(Don’t be alone this Christmas time)
