About the Song

When Santa Got Stuck Up The Chimney is a light-hearted children’s Christmas song from the post-war era. Its catchy refrain and comic storyline quickly made it a seasonal staple on radio, in school concerts, and at family gatherings. Over the years it has been recorded by a variety of performers and appears regularly on novelty Christmas compilations.

The song’s playful picture of Santa in a tight spot brings a smile to holiday sing-alongs. Its bouncy rhythm and repetitive chorus make it easy for everyone to join in, adding a touch of fun to carol services, classroom parties, or community events during the Christmas season.
