LITTLE SAINT NICK
"Oooooooo Merry Christmas santa
Christmas comes this time each year
Oooooooo oooooooo
Well, way up North where the air gets cold
There's a tale about Christmas that you've all been told
And a real famous cat all dressed up in red
And he spends the whole year workin' out on his sled.
It's the little Saint Nick little Saint Nick
It's the little Saint Nick little Saint Nick
Just a little bobsled, we call it ol' Saint Nick
But she'll walk a tobogan with a four speed stick
She's ol' candy apple red with a ski for a wheel
And when Santa hits the gas, man, just watch her peel.
It's the little Saint Nick little Saint Nick
It's the little Saint Nick little Saint Nick
run run reindeer run run reindeer ahhhhhhhh
run run reindeer run run reindeer
we don't miss no one
He's hauling through the snow at a frightenin' speed,
With a half a dozen deer with a-Rudy to lead,
He's gotta wear his goggles 'cause the snow really flies
And he's cruisin' every pad with a little surprise.
It's the little Saint Nick little Saint Nick
It's the little Saint Nick little Saint Nick
ahh Ooooooo Merry Christmas santa
Christmas comes this time each year
ahh Ooooooo Merry Christmas santa
christmas comes this time each year!"
