The Pause Of Mr. Claus
Composer(s): Arlo Guthrie
Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie



Why do you sit there so strange?
Is it because you are beautiful?
You must think you are deranged 
Why do police guys beat on peace guys?

You must think Santa Claus weird 
He has long hair and a beard 
Giving his presents for free 
Why do police guys mess with peace guys? 

Let's get Santa Claus 'cause
Santa Claus has a red suit 
He's a communist 
And a beard and long hair must be a pacifist 
What's in that pipe that he's smoking?

Mister Claus sneaks in your house at night 
He must be a dope fiend, to put you up tight 
Why do police guys beat on peace guys?
