about

This is a true story... The children were anything BUT snuggled up in their beds. Young enough to believe but old enough to be suspicious. Will it have a happy ending? Or will Santa truly pass them by?

lyrics

Well, Motion cameras set to go
Holding up in their hide-y hole
Caffeine Pills lined in a row
And they won’t give up until they know

(Well They’re)
Too Smart For Santa
The night’s quiet as a mouse
Too Smart For Santa
Well he’ll circle ‘round the house
Rudolphs nose is glowing red
He Said
(I think we have a trouble house ahead)
Too Smart for Santa
He might not come this year

Raiding pockets, receipt lines
Every hiding spot’s been mined
Nothing’s getting by this time
They’re older now they have resigned

(That They’re)
Too Smart For Santa
He’ll do the neighbours first
Too Smart For Santa
This house always was the worst
Santa’s run out of Christmas Cheer and
Dad’s all run out of Christmas Beer
Too Smart For Santa
He might not come this year

Dasher’s trippin’
Dancer’s flippin’
Prancer, Vixen’s minds are fried
Comet’s coping
Cupid’s mopping
Donner, Blitzen, they’re just hopping
Santa’s gonna let it slide

They sang the songs, And heard the psalms
Set the traps with great Aplomb
Dad’s gonna go off like a bomb
He just wanted his “present” from Mom!

(But They’re)
Too Smart For Santa
He’s not about beg
Too Smart for Santa
Kids waiting in Winnipeg
I think he’s waited around enough
“If they don’t want presents well that’s just tough”
Too Smart for Santa
He might not come this year
Too Smart for Santa
He might not come this year
Too Smart for Santa
He might. Not. Come. This Year.

The Dice Cubes image

The Dice Cubes Edmonton, Alberta

Rock ‘n’ roll is alive and well! The irresistible beat has been rooted deep in our musical consciousness. This is why The Dice Cubes seem both familiar and shockingly new. The Dice Cubes tap into this vibration while shaping their own distinct beat.
While The Dice Cubes have other styles of music at their fingertips, it is that bedrock pulse laid down in ’57, that resonates through their music! ... more
