    <title>Santa Claus is coming to town...</title>
    <summary><![CDATA[...Royal Marine Afstan cover version. 



You better not shoot,
You better not spy,
Don't&nbsp;lay a mine,
I'm telling you why:
Tommy Claus&nbsp;is coming to town.

He's laid his guns in,
And he's ready to fight;
Gonna&nbsp;rain steel 
On the&nbsp;mujis tonight.
Tommy&nbsp;Claus is coming to town.

He sees you when you're creeping.
He knows when you're out there.
He knows&nbsp;if you're up to no&nbsp;good,
So attack him if you dare!

You better not shoot,
You better not spy,
Don't lay a mine,
I'm telling you why:
Tommy&nbsp;Claus is coming to town.
Tommy&nbsp;Claus is coming to town!

H/t Captain H - and if you missed the link above for the story in the Telegraph, here 'tis again.

Sad that those boys are better than their government apparently deserves&nbsp;or desires.]]></summary>

        Judging by how high that mortar is elevated (or pointed, if one is Naval), that guy is shooting at some near-by folks.  Assuming it ain&apos;t posed.
