Lyrics Cactus Christmas - The Brian Setzer Orchestra

Cactus Christmas

Santa’s yonder in the tumbleweeds
On a team of armadillos
Wearin' cowboy boots & a bolo tie
His shirt is stuffed with pillows
CACTUS CHRISTMAS Yippee Kayo Kaya
CACTUS CHRISTMAS There’s sand in Santa’s sleigh
Out where the jackrabbits roam
There’s no place like home for
CACTUS CHRISTMAS
Look at the happy little rattlesnakes
In holiday apparel
Wiggling through the sagebrush
To sing an old fashioned carol
CACTUS CHRISTMAS Yippee Kayo Kaya
CACTUS CHRISTMAS There’s sand in Santa’s sleigh
There’s gonna be presents everywhere
Underneath the prickly pear
CACTUS CHRISTMAS
And th stars these nights look like Christmas lights
Strung across th Western sky
Pleasin' to a cowboy’s eye
It’s a mirage, yes I know
But the sand looks like snow
A buzzard and a lizard
Hung their stockings with glee
A tarantula asked a gila monster
«Where could Santa be»?
It’s CACTUS CHRISTMAS Yippee Kayo Kaya
CACTUS CHRISTMAS Hey Santa is on his way
Out where it’s hot 'n sandy
Gonna be all dry and dandy
CACTUS CHRISTMAS
Out where the jackrabbits roam
There’s no place like home for
CACTUS CHRISTMAS
Yippee Kayo Kaya
Gonna be-aye-yee
CACTUS CHRISTMAS
CACTUS CHRISTMAS
(Whistling to end)
