I Want A Rock 'N' Roll Guitar

I Want A Rock 'N' Roll Guitar - Johnny Preston

A ho ho ho

I was the night before Christmas

And everything was real quiet

So I thought I'd take

Myself a little walk

At Christmas Eve Night

I was making 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 standing

In front of this music store

And looked real brought down

I could hear what he was saying

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 TV

Like a rock 'n' roll star

I want Santa Claus to bring me

A rock 'n' roll guitar'

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 saying

A hi ho Silver

Kemosabe 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 dumping thing '

And say

'Man I don't want no dump truck

I want something that swings' he says

'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 TV

Like a rock 'n' roll star

I want Santa Claus to bring me

A rock 'n' roll guitar'

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 rocket ship or something

Wild like that '

And you know what he say

He say 'Look here Dad

I don't want train or no plane

Nothing square like that

That ain't the lick for me

When I awake this whole

Place is gonna shake

You know what

I want my Christmas tree ' 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 TV

Like a rock 'n' roll star

I want Santa Claus to bring me

A rock 'n' roll guitar'

Ho ho ho

Crazy little fellow crazy

Yeah say
