Spoken:

A ho ho ho

It was the night before Christmas and everthing was real quiet.

So I thought I´d take myself a little walk at Christmas EveNight.

I was makin´ it on down the street, when to my surprise I sawthis

little bitty cat with big old tears in his eyes.

Now I could see he was standin´ in front of this music store andlooked

real brought down. I could hear what he was sayin´ he didn´t knowI 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 t.v.

Like a rock n´ roll star

I want Santa Claus to bring me

A rock n´ roll guitar

(spoken)

hahaha..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 littleman,

A-you don´t want no rock n´ roll guitar, you want a six gunlike

the Lone Ranger has, so you can run around sayin´a hi hoSilver,

Kimo sabe, and all that cowboy jazz´.

Or how would you like old Santa to bring you a little dumptruck

so you could go around a-dumpin´ thing?

And he say...

´Man, I don´t want no dumptruck, I want somethin´ that swings

He say...

(sings)

I want a rock n´ roll guitar

With a big bass string

I want a rock n´ roll guitar

So I can play that thing

I wanna be on t.v.

Like a rock n´ roll star

I want Santa Claus to bring me

A rock n´ roll guitar

Spoken:

Ha, ha, wait a minute there, wait a minute, hold on, hold on Isay

I say, ´Hold on there little fellow, ah why don´t you be like thelittle

chicks and cats and wish for a space helmet or a rocketship orsomething

wild like that?´ And you know what he say? He say... ´Look heredad, I

don´t want no plane or no train or nothin´ square like that, thatain´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!..

(sings)

I want a rock n´ roll guitar

With a big bass string

I want a rock and roll guitar

So I can play the thing

I wanna be on t.v.

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...
