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 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 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 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 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´ 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 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, 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...
