Lyrics
There he sits by the fire
His gaze like a hook
His stick leans close
Like a shepherd's crook
He’s not just watchin'
No
He's takin' note
Every sly little whisper
Every word you spoke
[Chorus]
Oh the Mick with a stick
He'll let Santa know
If you’re pullin' your weight or puttin' on a show
Better tread soft
Better not be slick
Santa’s got eyes
And they're held by the stick
[Verse 2]
His boots creak loud on the old wood floor
The stick taps time like a knockin' door
“Mind your manners
” he’d growl
“and don’t you dare lie”
The walls had ears
But his stick had eyes
[Prechorus]
Every step you take
Every fib you tell
The Mick's got a list
And he's writin' it well
[Chorus]
Oh the Mick with a stick
He'll let Santa know
If you're diggin' a hole or tryin' to grow
Better eat your peas
Better clean it quick
Santa’s got spies
And they're holdin' a stick
[Bridge]
Years later I laughed
But the memory stayed
That old man’s stick
Like a shadow that swayed
It wasn’t the gifts
It wasn’t the toys
It was learnin' respect
In the noise of the boys
