(I Want) A Rock And Roll Guitar - Johnny Preston

Written by：RICHARDSON

A ho ho ho

It 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"

Soa I walked over to hima 'cause I understand

I I thought I'd cheer him up so I say "Look ahere 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 adumping thing

And he say "Man I don't want no dump truck

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 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 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 '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
