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...

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!..
