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!"

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!

Flying through the air!
From rock bottom
To the top—
THIS REINDEER WILL NEVER STOP!
