I Want a Rock n Roll Guitar |
| A ho, ho, ho |
| It was the night before Christmas and everything was real quiet |
| So I thought I´d take myself a little walk at Christmas Eve Night |
| I was making it on down the street, when to my surprise I saw this |
| Little bitty cat with big old tears in his eyes |
| Now I could see he was standing in front of this music store |
| And looked real brought down |
| I could hear what he was saying |
| He didn´t know I was around, he say |
| «I want a rock 'n' roll guitar |
| With a big bass string |
| I want a rock 'n' roll guitar |
| So I can play the thing |
| I wanna be on TV |
| Like a rock 'n' roll star |
| I want Santa Claus to bring me |
| A rock 'n' roll guitar" |
| So-a I walked over to him-a 'cause I understand |
| I, I thought I’d cheer him up, so I say, «Look a-here little man |
| A, you don’t want no rock 'n' roll guitar |
| You want a six gun like the Lone Ranger has |
| So you can run around saying, |
| 'A hi ho Silver, Kemosabe and all that cowboy jazz"' |
| Or how would you like old Santa to bring you |
| A little dump truck so you could go around a-dumping thing?" |
| And he say, «Man, I don´t want no dump truck |
| I want something that swings», he say |
| «I want a rock 'n' roll guitar |
| With a big bass string |
| I want a rock 'n' roll guitar |
| So I can play the thing |
| I wanna be on TV |
| Like a rock 'n' roll star |
| I want Santa Claus to bring me |
| A rock 'n' roll guitar" |
| Ha, ha, wait a minute there, wait a minute, hold on |
| Hold on I say, I say, «Hold on there little fellow |
| Ah, why don’t you be like the little chicks and cats |
| And wish for a space helmet or a rocket ship or something wild like that?» |
| And you know what he say? |
| He say, «Look here Dad, I |
| Don’t want no plane or no train or nothing square like that |
| That ain’t the lick for me, when I awake this whole place is gonna shake |
| 'Cause you know what I want under my Christmas tree!», he say |
| «I want a rock 'n' roll guitar |
| With a big bass string |
| I want a rock 'n' roll guitar |
| So I can play the thing |
| I wanna be on TV |
| Like a rock 'n' roll star |
| I want Santa Claus to bring me |
| A rock 'n' roll guitar" |
| Ho, ho, ho |
| Crazy little fellow, crazy |
| Yeah, say |
