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 Eve Night. I was makin' 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 standin' in front of 
This music store and looked real brought down. I could hear what 
He was sayin', he didn't know I was around, He say 

I want a rock an' roll guitar
With a big bass string
I want a rock an' roll guitar
So I can play the thing

I wanna be on T.V.
Like a rock an' roll star
I want Santa Claus to bring me
A rock an' roll guitar

Ha ha ha 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 an' roll guitar, you want a six gun like
The Lone Ranger has, so you can run around sayin'-a hi ho Silver,
Kimo sabe, 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-dumpin' 
Things" And he say, "Man, I don't want no dumptruck, I want 
Somethin' that swings" He say 

I want a rock an' roll guitar
With a big bass string
I want a rock an' roll guitar
So I can play that thing

I wanna be on T.V.
Like a rock an' roll star
I want Santa Claus to bring me
A rock an' 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 
Rocketship 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 nothin' 
Square like that, that ain't the lick for me. Wwhen I awake this 
Whole place is gonna shake, 'cause you know what I want under my 
Christmas tree!" He say 

I want a rock an' roll guitar
With a big bass string
I want a rock an' roll guitar
So I can play the thing

I wanna be on T.V.
Like a rock an' roll star
I want Santa Claus to bring me
A rock an' roll guitar

Ho ho ho, crazy little fellow, crazy, yeah, say...FADE
