I Want a Rock & 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 |
