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
