Just a little bobsled we call it old Saint Nick  
But she’ll walk a toboggan with a four speed stick  
She’s candy-apple red with a ski for a wheel  
And when Santa hits the gas, man, just watch her peel

When i take her to the track she really shines _(giddy-up, giddy-up, 409)_  
She always turns in the fastest times _(giddy-up, giddy-up, 409)_  
My four-speed, dual-quad, Positraction 409.

She’s got a competition clutch with the four on the floor  
And she purrs like a kitten 'till the lake pipes roar  
And if that ain’t enough to make you flip your lid  
There’s one more thing, I got the pink slip daddy

Run, run Rudolph, Santa has to make it in town  
Santa, make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down  
Run, run Rudolph, reelin’ like a merry-go-round

If I can just get off of this L.A. freeway  
Without gettin’ killed or caught  
Down that road in a cloud of smoke  
To some land I ain’t bought, bought, bought

L.A. is a great big freeway  
Put a hundred down and buy a car  
In a week, maybe two, they’ll make you a star  
Weeks turn into years  
How quick they pass  
And all the stars that never were  
Are parking cars and pumping gas

It was December 24th on Hollis Ave in the dark  
When I see a man chilling with his dog in the park  
I approached very slowly with my heart full of fear  
Looked at his dog, oh my God, an ill reindeer

Saturday in the park  
I think it was the Fourth of July  
Saturday in the park  
I think it was the Fourth of July  
People dancing, people laughing  
A man selling ice cream  
Singing Italian songs  
Eh Cumpari, ci vo sunari  
Can you dig it? (Yes, I can)  
And I’ve been waiting such a long time  
For Saturday

You’ll never know how great a kiss can feel  
When you’re stopped at the top of a Ferris wheel  
When I fell in love down at Palisades Park.

We stood there kissin’ by the mistletoe  
Tingle, tingle, tingle, tingle  
Mmm and away we go, jingle, jingle  
Kissin’ by the mistletoe, love came to stay  
And now it’s Christmas every day

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, and hath redeemed us to God by His blood, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom,  
and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.  
Blessing and honour, glory and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, for ever and ever.  
Amen.

God came through Belleville, Georgia  
He was ridin’ on the noonday train  
All power to him and praise his holy name  
He never got off of the train

Likes to go real fast

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling  
Ring tingle tingling too (ring-a-ling-a-ling-a-ding-dong-ding)  
Come on, it’s lovely weather  
For a sleigh ride together with you (ring-a-ling-a-ling-a-ding-dong-ding)
