Then out on the stoop,
ooh wee, such a clatter,
Pops split to the porthole
to see what's the matter.
His heart did the jumps
and he fell straight back
When his glimmers fell on a red Cadillac.

Stashed in front
With a red beaver hat
and a red cashmere benny.

And his red tweed vine
cost heavy dues.

He wore a red -on -red shirt
and a white mink tie,
Some crazy rimmed glasses
that covered one eye.
Old Pop's peepers grew large,

As he dug this crazy vista

D
The cat leaped from his short
and he laid down his sack.
He began wailing like mad,
the cool Applejack.
Then up to the rooftops
the Cadillac flew
and the cat in red followed on
through.
Pops was wigged behind this crazy scene
and before he was straight down
came the cat right through the chimney

So that's it, pops, Santa did shout,

and quickly cut out.
Poor Pops was wiggin'
and was out of his head
To dig this wild character
who wore all the red
To quiet his nerves
and to help him to think
Just then from below
he heard a voice shout
Have a crazy cool Christmas
but don't get knocked out ... solid.
