[Verse 1]
TDhere´s a candy-colored '51 rollin´ around
CDreepin' down the avenues of North Pole town
RGound up all the fellas, tell 'em come over quick
Because the dDriver looks a little like that Old Saint Nick
SliAdin´ 'round the corner like a vision in red
Looks like he trDaded in the slip on that rickety sled
[Chorus]
SaDnta's got a mean machine
SaDnta's got a mean machine
ItA7's the lowest, leanest sleigh that you ever seen
Well SaDnta went and chopped him up a mean machine
[Verse 2]
BDells on the bumper and candy cane spokes
WhDistlin' pipes that rumble and croak
NoGsed, decked, and paneled with a five-inch chop
He's got the peDppermint switches make him jump and hop
RA7ed bucket seats, Santa, go go go
The wDide whites keep him rollin' low and slow
[Chorus]
SaDnta's got a mean machine
SaDnta's got a mean machine
ItA7's the lowest, leanest sleigh that you ever seen
Well SaDnta went and chopped him up a mean machine
[Verse 3]
HeDre it comes cruisin´ down Santa Claus Lane
A Dshifter knob for Johnny and a club coat for Jane
Droppin' tGoys in the driveway so you better be good
He's got rDeindeer power hiding unD7der the hood
HopA7ping down the boulevard and makin' the scene
´Cause he's the crDaziest Kringle that you eD7ver seen
[Chorus]
SaDnta's got a mean machine
SaDnta's got a mean machine
ItA7's the lowest, leanest sleigh that you ever seen
Well SaDnta went and chopped him up a mean machine
[Outro]
It's A7a bad dad
LeaAn mean
KiAller diller
ThAriller filler
LoAw and slow
RoAck 'n roll
HopApin' choppin'
MeaDn machine

[Verse 1]

There´s a candy-colored '51 rollin´ around

Creepin' down the avenues of North Pole town

Round up all the fellas, tell 'em come over quick

Because the driver looks a little like that Old Saint Nick

Slidin´ 'round the corner like a vision in red

Looks like he traded in the slip on that rickety sled

[Chorus]

Santa's got a mean machine

It's the lowest, leanest sleigh that you ever seen

Well Santa went and chopped him up a mean machine

[Verse 2]

Bells on the bumper and candy cane spokes

Whistlin' pipes that rumble and croak

Nosed, decked, and paneled with a five-inch chop

He's got the peppermint switches make him jump and hop

Red bucket seats, Santa, go go go

The wide whites keep him rollin' low and slow

[Chorus]

Santa's got a mean machine

It's the lowest, leanest sleigh that you ever seen

Well Santa went and chopped him up a mean machine

[Verse 3]

Here it comes cruisin´ down Santa Claus Lane

A shifter knob for Johnny and a club coat for Jane

Droppin' toys in the driveway so you better be good

D D7

He's got reindeer power hiding under the hood

Hopping down the boulevard and makin' the scene

D D7

´Cause he's the craziest Kringle that you ever seen

[Chorus]

Santa's got a mean machine

It's the lowest, leanest sleigh that you ever seen

Well Santa went and chopped him up a mean machine

[Outro]

It's a bad dad

Lean mean

Killer diller

Thriller filler

Low and slow

Rock 'n roll

Hoppin' choppin'

Mean machine
