I was awoken by a christmas bandit
late on christmas eve,
he wore a suit just like santa's
but without the ruffles on his sleeve.

He had his little helpers
there were three that i could see,
but instead of helping unload gifts
they were removing them from our tree.

I saw them loading them into a sack
i was so in disbelief,
not only did they take our gifts
but they took our christmas reef.

They took santa's cookies and milk
then stole our apple pie,
they did'nt take our christmas tree
but thats not to say they did'nt try.

They cleaned us out of everything
left nothing for christmas day,
then exited out our front door
and took off in their sleigh.

The christmas bandit completed his job
and oh my! he did it well,
leaving me with nothing at all
but this story to tell.
