December is coming it is the Christmas season
The children are anxious and we all know the reason
Santa Claus is coming with his sleigh full of toys
He's coming to visit all the good girls and boys
But not all children are good, in fact some are quite bad
And seeing children misbehave makes Santa Claus sad
Santa wont visit homes where bad children are asleep
He will send one of his helpers to their house to creep
For unlike Santa who rewards with goodies and toys
This monster delights in punishing bad girls and boys
Meet Krampus, who comes with rattling chains and ringing bells
A son of the dark Goddess of the Underworld, Hel
A ruten bundle of birch rods he holds in his hand
Wicker basket strapped to his back, he travels the land
This naughty child hung a stocking in hopes of some loot
Instead Krampus will leave a whipping switch in his boot
These bad girls are asleep, sugarplums dance in their head
Krampus will have fun scaring them by shaking the bed
These twins needed a spanking, Krampus thinks it good fun
To use his bundle of birch rods for swatting their bums
For the worst of the worst Krampus has something big saved
He will make these wicked children whish they had behaved
They get stuffed into his basket and taken away
And whisked off to the Underworld forever to stay
Because Krampus gets hungry, and no meat tastes so sweet
As a bad child who can be for eternity beat
So be good for your parents and follow their rules
Get all of your chores done and don't act like little fools
Because on Christmas Eve when Santa's sleigh bells ring bright
A rattle of chains means Krampus is coming tonight
