| 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 |
