Lyrics
[Verse 1]
From Coney Island to the Sunset Strip
Somebody's gonna make a happy trip
Tonight, while the moon is bright
He's gonna have a bag of crazy toys
To give the kindest of the girls and boys
So dig, Santa comes on big
[Verse 2]
He'll come a callin' when it snows the most
When all you cats are sleepin' warm as toast
And you gonna flip when ole Saint Nick
Takes a lick on a peppermint stick
[Verse 3]
He'll come a flyin' from a higher place
And fill the stockings by the fireplace
So you'll have a yule that's cool
[Verse 4]
Play it, Santa
Ah, that's nice
[Verse 5]
Yeah, from Coney Island to the Sunset Strip
Somebody's gonna make a happy trip
Tonight, while the moon is bright
Behind a reindeer with a blinkin' nose
He's lookin' groovy in the same old clothes
He's red in his souped-up sled
[Verse 6]
He's on a mission and he will not shirk
Down the chimney, yeah, he gets to work
That Mr. C is H-O-T
Santa won't you lighten my Christmas tree
[Verse 7]
He'll come a flyin' from a higher place
And fill the stockings by the fireplace
So you'll have a yule that's cool
Have a yule that's cool, y'all
