(I Want A) Rock and Roll Guitar

(I Want A) Rock and Roll Guitar - Johnny Preston/Betty Clooney

A ho ho ho

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 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 t v

Like a rock n roll star

I want santa claus to bring me

A rock n roll guitar

Hahaha so a i walked over to him a cause i understand

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

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 dumping thing

And he say

Man i don't want no dumptruck i want something 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

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 train or no plane or nothing 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

I want a rock n roll guitar

With a big bass string

I want a rock and 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

Ho ho ho crazy little fellow crazy yeah say
