Lyrics
SANTA TRIMMED HIS BEARD TODAY
HE GOT A HAIRCUT TOO
THEN HE TRADED IN THE OLD RED SUIT
FOR T-SHIRTS AND DENIM BLUE
HE NEEDS A BREAK
HE WANTS TO ROCK
IT’S TIME TO ROCK WITH ROCKIN SANTA CLAUS
THE OLD BOY WANTS A RECORD DEAL
HE AND THE MRS. WROTE SOME SONGS
WITH NO ARCTIC MUSIC STATION
THE CLUBS ARE WHERE HE BELONGS
HE NEEDS A BREAK
HE WANTS TO ROCK
IT’S TIME TO ROCK WITH ROCKIN SANTA CLAUS
GO SANTA, GO ROCKIN SANTA
HE’S GOT A BAND
OOH THEY SOUND REAL GOOD
HIS OTHER JOB PUT ON PAUSE
IT’S TIME TO ROCK WITH ROCKIN SANTA CLAUS
NO WRITING LETTERS TO SANTA
WISHES GO STRAIGHT TO HIS PHONE
A MILLION CALLS BACKED UP ON HOLD
THAT ENDLESS JINGLE RING TONE
HE NEEDS A BREAK
HE WANTS TO ROCK
IT’S TIME TO ROCK WITH ROCKIN SANTA CLAUS
GO SANTA, GO ROCKIN SANTA
