Lyrics

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 groanies of the girls and boys
So dig, Santa comes on big
He'll come a callin' when the snow's the most
When all you cats are sleepin' warm as toast
And you gonna flip when Old Saint Nick
Takes a lick on a peppernint stick
He'll come a flyin' from a higher place
And fill the stockings by the fire place
So you'll have a yule that's cool
From Broadway to West L.A
Somebody's gonna ride a crazy sleigh tonight
While the moon is bright
He's filled his bag way up with Christmas joys
To give the groanies of the girls and boys
So dig, Santa comes on big
He'll come a callin' when the snow's the most
When all you cats are sleepin' warm as toast
And you gonna flip when you see Old Saint Nick
Lay a lick on a peppernint stick
He'll drop down from the swinging place
And fill the stocking by the fire place
So you'll have a yule that's cool
Say, you know what, Eddie?
What's that, old buddy?
You know, I wonder if Santa's coped that sky peace for me this year?
You know that, that one I pulled is coat about
Well, you know, Santa's no goof, no
He's a guy, a real swinger
Oh, I think that all the way, man
Why man is the X-mas
I've been out goofing with that cats till way past night noon
I stumble, hope to find hoof prints of the roofs
And a stocking full of stuff
That's right, if you've been cool
Santa won't do you wrong
Well, he even let me a note one time
A note? What did it say, partner?
That's right
Well, you know it was touch up in magic X-mas ink
So I had to taste some rum cake before it became clear to me
But there it was in all it's yule tide glory
Glowing by the fire light, it was beautiful
It said, "Have a yule that's cool!"
Cool yule, huh?
The finest guy!
That's right!
