Gruss vom Krampus! Here's a festive holiday song about the devil of Christmas.

lyrics

Mommy, daddy, look out the window
I see Santa Claus coming our way
Why does Santa look so funny
Where’s his reindeer, where’s his sleigh?

Listen, sweetie, I need to tell you
That’s not Santa Claus out in the snow
This year Christmas will be different
And I guess it’s time that you know

It’s Krampus time tonight
And he’ll give you a fright
You weren’t very good this year
So Santa isn’t coming here
In his place he sent a beast
Snatching tots from west to east
Children who don’t do what’s right
It’s Krampus time tonight!

Hear his hooves go clippity-clop!
Hear the kiddies hollering “Stop!”

Mommy, daddy, he seems so scary
He’s got fangs right down to his chin
In his bag there’s something moving
Daddy, please don’t let him in!

Oh my darling, please stop your crying
Hold your head high and be brave
You know you have been quite naughty
Maybe now you won’t misbehave

It’s Krampus time tonight
And he’s an awful sight
Where the stockings are all hung
He’ll be there with his great big tongue
No more toys or candy canes
This Yule Lord brings whips and chains
Will he eat you? He just might
It’s Krampus time tonight!

See his eyes all creepy and red
See the horns stickin’ outta his head!

Choir:
Gruss vom Krampus
Gruss vom Krampus
Gruss vom Krampus
Gruss vom Krampus

It’s Krampus time tonight
So don’t put up a fight
Krampus comes with wooden switches
Custom-made by wicked witches
When he puts you in his sack
You may not be coming back
Close your eyes and shut ‘em tight
It’s Krampus time tonight!

Krampus time tonight!

His bark’s bad but so’s his bite
It’s Krampus time tonight!

Krampus time tonight!

For boys and girls who aren’t polite
It’s Krampus time tonight!

Devil of an appetite
It’s Krampus time tonight!
