lyrics

August in New York is the hottest we could be
If the hundred degrees don't get you, just wait for the humidity
But this heat has got me thinkin about poor Santa Claus
Who must have to carry a change of clothes
Because that big red suit looks really warm

In some places it's cold at Christmas
In some places it's really hot
Some people celebrate in the mountains
Some celebrate on their private yacht
Some celebrate while sun-soakin
And for others, the fires are stokin
Must be pretty crazy packing for that trip
What a nightmare for Saint Nick

Do you think he loves to layer
With tanks under his tops
So he can easily change as climates vary
Without having to stop
Or does he simply suffer
To just get the job done
It's only one night, after all
And he's probably having a lot of fun

Some places rain at Christmas
Does Santa get wet feet
Are his boots like the ones at LL Bean
With the lifetime guarantee
Does he bring a nice little swimsuit
So he can cool off in the sea
Do you think that delivering presents
Is less stressful than packing for Christmas Eve

What's in Santa's suitcase
What's in Santa's suitcase
What's in Santa's suitcase
What's in Santa's suitcase

August in New York feels lightyears away from a very merry Christmas
August in New York is a perfect time for an Aperol Spritzmas
August in New York feels lightyears away from a very merry Christmas
August in New York is a perfect time for an Aperol Spritzmas
August in New York feels lightyears away from a very merry Christmas
August in New York is a perfect time for an Aperol Spritzmas
August in New York feels lightyears away from a very merry Christmas
August in New York is a perfect time for an Aperol Spritzmas
Aperol Spritzmas
Aperol Spritzmas
Aperol Spritz
