something in the chimney

[Heather Gilmer]

I didn't see this in the list of christmas songs. I also don't know if
"There's Something In the Chimney" is the title, but it's a likely guess.
The song has a little girl singing about something being stuck in the
chimney, and it's been there since last Christmas, and she can't wait for
Santa to come but her brother says he's already here...

Who did this song? What are the words?

I'd prefer email response because I'm afraid the whole newsgroup will
turn over before I find my answer.

It's on Bob River's first tape "Twisted Christmas". I happen to have it with
me right now so:

"The Chimney Song" by Bob Rivers Comedy Corp

There's something stuck up in the chimney and I don't know what it is
But it's been there all night long
Well I waited up for Santa all Christmas night
But he never came and it don't seem right
That there's something in the chimney and it doesn't make a sound
But I wish you a merry Christmas

There's something stuck up in the chimney and I don't know what it is
But it's been there all week long
Well the dog keeps barking up the chimney flue
And we don't know what we're gonna do
'Cause thre's something in the chimney and it doesn't move around
And it's been a week since Christmas

There's something stuck up in the chimney and I don't know what it is
But it's been there all month long
Well it's jammed up tight above the fireplace
Now the house smells funny such a big disgrace
That there's something in the chimney and it doesn't talk at all
And it's been there since last Christmas

There's something stuck up in the chimney and I don't know what it is
But it's been there all year long
I'll be waiting up for Santa like I did last year
But my brother says he's already here
And he's stuck up in the chimney and he doesn't say a word
And he'll be here every Christmas

And we'll have him every Christmas

Heather:
This is "The Chimney Song" by The Bob Rivers Comedy Corp
from their 1987 album "Twisted Christmas" -- I believe it's still
available in stores.
cheers,
