'Twas the night before Christmas and in the garage, There wasn't a
trace of a Chev or a Dodge. The presents were wrapped and the lights were
all lit, So I figured I'd mess with the Tiger a bit.
I popped the release and I lifted the hood,
When a deep voice behind me said "looks pretty good." Well, as you
can imagine, I turned mighty quick, And there, by the workbench, stood good
ol Saint Nick!
We stood there a bit, not too sure what to say, Then he said "don't
suppose that you'd trade for my sleigh? I said "no way, Santa" and started
to grin, "But if you've got the time we could go for a spin!"
His round little mouth, all tied up like a bow, Turned into a smile
and he said "hey! Let's go!!"
So as not to disturb all the neighbors' retreat,
We pushed the Cat quietly out into the street,
Then, taking our places to drift down the hill, I turned on the key
and I let the clutch spill. The sound that erupted took him by surprise,
But he liked it a lot, by the look in his eyes. With Goodyear's a' crying
and tail lights aglow, We headed on out where the hot rodders go. And
Santa's grin widened, approaching his ears, With every shift up as I went
through the gears.
Then he yelled "can't recall when I've felt so alive!"
So I backed off the gas and said "you wanna drive?" Ol Santa was
stunned when I gave him the keys, When he walked past the headlights he
shook at the knees!
Then the small block exploded with Flowmaster sound!
Santa let out the clutch and the tires shook the ground!
Power shift into second, again into third!
I sat there just watching, at loss for a word,
Then I heard him exclaim as we blasted from sight, "Merry Christmas to all,
it's a hell of a night!!!"
