There's a man who dresses up in red
Listening to everything you said
His ear is pressed up to the door
Christmas 1984
Knows if you've been acting bad or good
Has surveillance of your neighborhood
He marks your name and keeps a score
Christmas 1984
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows and he's been keeping
Track of your mistakes
In the north he's got a secret base
Has his spies all over every place
The Elves are rotten to the core
Christmas 1984
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows and he's been keeping
Track of your mistakes
Once a year he breaks into your house
Nobody knows a way to keep out
About as welcome as a war
Christmas 1984
Not a nightmare and it's not a dream
A totalitarian regime
No one is merry anymore
Christmas 1984
Christmas 1984
Christmas 1984
