"T'was the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were all hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there
The children were nestled snug in their beds
While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads"
I slammed the book shut and though 'yeah right'
I've got better things to do than read this crap tonight
It was Christmas Eve and the fortress was quiet
Instead of the usual biroid riot
I was sitting in my room, that book in my lap
Gospel lay at my side, taking a nap
Across my boring room from me
Sat my pathetic excuse of a Christmas tree
A tiny part of me couldn't help but hope
That Santa wasn't just made up by some dope
I've heard of this fat little gnome
Who easily breaks into a persons home
And leaves gifts beneath a pine tree
Sounds a little crazy if you ask me
Seems stupid but I hope he might
Pay me a visit on this cheerless night
I jump as I hear a noise on the roof
I hope Gyroman's not being a goof
If he goes flying in a storm like this one
I'll have to find him, won't that be fun?
When I reached the roof, I couldn't help but stare
A goddamn sled was sitting there!
Nine little deer were hooked up to the sled
The one in front had a nose glowing red
And standing there looking for a way inside
Was Dr. Lights fat sorry hide
What the hell was he doing here?
Did he drink too much eggnog or beer?
He was dressed up weird in a funny red hat
And a red suit that made him look real fat
I called on my armor as I stood in the snow
And I yelled as the wind began to blow
"Have you gone crazy? That I would believe.
Breaking into Skull Fortress on Christmas Eve!
You've got three seconds to get out of here Light.
You must really be looking for a fight."
He jumped quite high then turned around
Suddenly I felt frozen to the ground
Whoever he was, he wasn't Dr. Light.
He was too short, his eyes were too bright.
"Forte my boy!" he said with great cheer
"Don't you worry, don't have a fear!
Santa has come to visit you tonight.
But I'm really not looking for a fight.
I've decided that this place need some joy.
I've brought you all gifts my fine boy.
Now go back inside and go back to bed.
You don't have to worry your silly little head"
He patted my shoulder and sent me back in
I found myself in my room with a silly grin
Gospel watched me get back into bed
"Santa came!" I whispered as I laid down my head.
When I woke in the morning I was happy as could be
But my heart dropped when I saw my tree.
Nothing was there, I could've screamed
It must've been something I'd dreamed
I left my room and walked down the hall.
Seemed Santa never came at all.
As I walked my robe swished around my feet.
I decided to get Gospel a Christmas treat.
My jaw hit my feet as I entered the main hall.
There was a tree, fully twelve feet tall
The other Robot Masters stood all around
Presents and gifts covered the ground.
"Dammit!" I yelled, "Why are you all just standing here?
Merry Fucking Christmas! Let's have some cheer!"
