When Santa Got Stuck Up the Chimney is a comic Christmas novelty song written by Jimmy Grafton and popularized by Billy Cotton and His Band in the 1950s, picturing a rather too-full Father Christmas stuck fast in the chimney. It has delighted singers for decades.
This is the lyrics-free instrumental version — the full backing track with no lead vocals — perfect for solo singers, choirs and class performances, or for karaoke-style fun where everyone supplies every silly line themselves. It's a handy backing for Christmas concerts, nativity plays and music lessons, courtesy of the Love to Sing team.
