Lyric

I saw one of Santa’s helpers at the grocery store todayHe was standin’ at the front door givin’ candy canes awayAnd I told him I was worried about a certain situationHow’s Santa gonna get here with this risin’ population
He said, I talked to the north pole sometime late last weekAnd it seems that dear ol’ Santa has got somethin’ up his sleeveAs I leaned in to listen, he whispered in my hearHe said, don’t you dare repeat a single word of this, you hear
He said, boss man’s all excited ’cause his new sled’s almost readyAnd they say he’s got it painted up, looks just like Richard Petty’sAnd Rudolph and the reindeer, they’re lookin’ long and meanIt’s the fastest, highest flyin’ winter wonderland machineI ain’t seen it for myself, but I heard saySanta Claus has got a hot rod sleigh
It’s got a heater in the floorboard ’cause he’s gettin’ old, you knowAnd a windshield with the wipers should he happen on some snowLandin’ lights of red and white all stuck along the sideSo he can spot the rooftops as he’s fallin’ from the sky
He’s got a king-size toy bin, locks in all the latchesAnd a big old custom air seat with a safety belt that matchesOnly thing about it that worries him a heapIs that he might be here just long before the children get to sleep
He said, boss man’s all excited ’cause his new sled’s almost readyAnd they say he’s got it painted up, looks just like Richard Petty’sAnd Rudolph and the reindeer, they’re lookin’ long and meanIt’s the fastest, highest flyin’ winter wonderland machineI ain’t seen it for myself, but I heard saySanta Claus has got a hot rod sleigh
Well, I ain’t seen it for myself, but I heard saySanta Claus has got a hot rod sleigh
