You better watch out
You better go hide
You better not shout
Or venture outside
Santa Claus is coming to town
He’s packing some heat
And wearing a vest
His posse of elves
Will root out your nest
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you through a window
His scope is infrared
If you dive behind that lump of coal
You just might not wind up dead
So get outta Dodge
Don’t stay to talk trash
Get on a bus
Pay only with cash
Santa Claus is coming to town

Reminds me of “Sanity Clause” from 100 Great Science Fiction Short Short Stories. Remember that?
No, but I do remember the story “The Sign at the End of the Universe” from the same anthology. (Google, google… can’t find the author.) The text of the story was:
he sees you through a window. his scope is infrared. brilliant. i love my brother.
Bob, you really need to improve your googling skills. 😉

Sign at the End of the Universe • Duane Ackerson • vi Alternities, ed. David Gerrald, Dell, 1974
And BTW, I still have the book. 🙂
Given the current political climate, I find this “big brother” concept of Santa all too real! Chilling . . .
