👋 HELLO! “Merry Christmas, Daddy-O!”

Rock-it the Reindeer

He’s V.T.O.L. He’s Rock ’n’ Roll.

🎸 Rock-Solid Christmas

🚀 ROCK-IT’S NORTH POLE

His story, his song, his very own comic book, and a factory spec sheet.

📖 My Story

Way up north where the cold winds blow...

Rock-it’s Story

The rocket-powered, rock ’n’ roll reindeer.

Way up north where the cold winds blow...

“Most reindeer learned to fly the traditional way.
Rock-it apparently missed that meeting.”

So he did it his own way — with rockets. Where the other reindeer trotted down the runway, Rock-it lit the boosters, counted down from five and went straight up. Vertical takeoff and landing. V.T.O.L.

In between flights you’ll find him at the sock hop, polishing hot rods, or parked beside the jukebox looking for anything on a forty-five. Rockets, hot rods, sock hops, jukeboxes — and Santa. Up at the North Pole, that’s everything a cool cat with antlers could need.

“He may be a little bit of metal and a whole lotta rock ’n’ roll...
but underneath that tough outside, Rock-it has a Christmas soul.”

He’s a rock.

“Way up north where the cold winds blow, there’s a crazy cool reindeer everybody knows.

Rock-it is the North Pole's rocket-powered, rock ’n’ roll reindeer.

He's got Christmas shades, a tinsel pompadour, a blue Christmas-light nose, a light-bulb scarf, a black chrome leather jacket—and enough 1950s technology to make absolutely nobody at the North Pole nervous.

Probably.”

Does he need a runway? NO.

Does he need a road? NO.

Then how does he fly?

Vertical Takeoff and Landing

HE'S V.T.O.L.

He’s also rock ’n’ roll.

Official lyrics

Rock-it the Reindeer

Intro

Hey, all you cool cats!

Are the Engines ready?

Are the Guitars tuned and ready?

Hey, the Reindeer are all ready and flying in the air!

Well, don't just stand there like a square!

ROCK IT, ROCKet!

[Rockabilly Guitar Riff]

Ho, Ho, Let's go, Daddy-O!

Verse 1

Way up north where the cold winds blow,

There's a crazy cool reindeer everybody knows,

Built like a rock from his antlers to his feet,

With rocket engines and a rock 'n' roll beat!

He's got his hair slicked back,

And his Christmas shades on,

When the jukebox starts jumping,

Man, that reindeer's GONE!

He doesn't need a runway,

He doesn't need a road,

Fire up those rockets—

He's ready to explode!

Pre-Chorus

5... 4... 3... 2... one!

Vertical Takeoff and Landing

He's V.T.O.L.

[pause]

He's rock n roll

Chorus

Rockit the Reindeer!

SHOO-BOP,BOP, Rock

He's rock-solid Christmas

SHOO-BOP,BOP, Rock

From his antlers to his socks!

Rockit the Reindeer!

Rocket through the night!

Crank that Christmas music up

And watch that reindeer FLY!

Santa yells—

SHOO-BOP,BOP, Rock

And Rockit rocks away!

SHOO-BOP,BOP, Rock

It's gonna be a rockin' Christmas Day!

Verse 2 – Sock Hop

Down at the North Pole sock hop Saturday night,

The elves are doing hand jives underneath the Christmas lights,

The jukebox spins a forty-five,

The whole joint starts to hop,

Then Rockit hits the dance floor—

And the needle nearly drops!

He's twisting with the elves,

He's rocking with the crew,

Santa shouts, "Hey, Daddy-O!

Save a dance for me too!"

He's a little bit of metal,

A whole lotta rock 'n' roll,

But underneath that tough outside

He's got a Christmas soul!

Pre-Chorus

5... 4... 3... 2... one!

Vertical Takeoff and Landing

He's V.T.O.L.

[pause]

He's rock n roll

Chorus

Rockit the Reindeer!

SHOO-BOP,BOP, Rock

He's rock-solid Christmas

SHOO-BOP,BOP, Rock

From his antlers to his socks!

Rockit the Reindeer!

Rocket through the night!

Crank that Christmas music up

And watch that reindeer FLY!

Santa yells—

SHOO-BOP,BOP, Rock

And Rockit rocks away!

SHOO-BOP,BOP, Rock

It's gonna be a rockin' Christmas Day!

Verse 3 – Drive-In Christmas

Friday night at the North Pole drive-in show,

Hot rods lined up underneath the falling snow,

Elves sipping sodas, watching monsters on the screen,

When Rockit rolls up in a Christmas-red machine!

Chrome pipes shining,

Whitewalls looking fine,

Rocket boosters roaring—

"Baby, this ride is MINE!"

He revs it once—

VROOM!

He revs it twice—

VROOM! VROOM!

Then Rockit hits the rockets

And he disappears past the moon!

Santa says,

"That cat is outta sight!"

Bridge – Santa & Rockit

Santa: Rockit, are the rockets ready?

Rockit: READY, DADDY-O!

Rockit: CHRISTMAS!

Santa: I said...

Rock the bells!

Rock the sleigh!

Rock that Christmas sock hop today!

Rock the diner!

Rock the show!

Fire those rockets—

GO! KAT! GO!

Rock the jukebox!

Rock all night!

Rockit leaves a trail of light!

He's hip!

He's cool!

He's nobody's square!

Flying through the air!

From rock bottom

To the top—

THIS REINDEER WILL NEVER STOP!
