[00:00.00]The Be-Bop Santa Claus - Babs Gonzales
[00:02.88]'Twas the black before Christmas
[00:05.43]And all through the dorm
[00:07.17]The scene was deserted
[00:08.71]But for old Pops and Mom
[00:11.12]There they sat hung in their big easy chair
[00:14.57]Goofed on eggnog sherry and beer
[00:17.94]Sis and Little Junior lie snoozing in bed
[00:21.10]While visions of Cadillacs danced in their heads
[00:24.47]Moms jumped up and said "Pops let's quit it to bed
[00:27.58]We can't let Santa dig us with our eyes all red "
[00:31.39]Then out on the stoop oo-wee Such a clatter
[00:35.66]Pops split to the porthole to see what was the matter
[00:39.38]His heart did the jumps and he fell straight back
[00:42.49]When his glimmers fell on a red Cadillac
[00:47.52]Stashed in front was a cat cool as any
[00:50.69]With a red beaver hat and a red cashmere benny
[00:54.95]His ground pads was suede shoes
[00:56.86]And his red tweed vine cost heavy dues
[01:00.80]He wore a red-on-red shirt and a white mink tie
[01:04.14]Some crazy-rimmed glasses that covered one eye
[01:10.98]Old Pop's peepers grew large round and white
[01:14.53]As he dug this crazy vista on Christmas Eve night
[01:17.92]The cat leaped from his short and laid down his sack
[01:21.10]He began wailing like mad the cool "Applejack"
[01:29.09]Then up to the rooftops the Cadillac flew
[01:32.05]And the Cat In Red followed on through
[01:34.85]Pops was wigged behind this crazy
[01:36.74]Scene and before he was straight
[01:38.56]Down came the cat right through the chimney grate
[01:44.56]A bag of jive he had on his back
[01:47.19]As he stood digging Pops who was blowing his stack
[01:50.43]His eyeballs were hid by some coal-black shades
[01:53.79]When Pops dug this action he knew this cat was made
[01:57.39]A king-sized cigarette hung from his chops
[02:00.30]As he eased up close and sounded on Pops
[02:05.12]"I'm the Be-Bop Santa from the cool North Pole
[02:08.75]And I've been down since the days of old
[02:11.80]I'm known all over from here to eternity
[02:14.36]And a stud's mighty square if he don't dig me
[02:17.85]So cast thy peepers into my righteous bag and see
[02:21.27]What insane object I shall lay on thee
[02:26.02]Here's a record by Diz cut when he was two
[02:28.95]A real boss arrangement of 'Ool-Ya-Koo '
[02:36.80]For Moms a mink outfit; Chanel No 5
[02:40.20]And for you little kiddies my new book on jive"
[02:44.76]"So that's it Pops " Santa did shout
[02:47.84]Then he buttoned his cashmere and quickly cut out
[02:51.45]Poor Pops was wiggin' and he was out of his head
[02:54.40]To dig this wild character who wore all red
[02:57.75]He ran to the table to cop him a drink
[03:00.16]To quiet his nerves and to help him to think
[03:02.99]Just then from below he heard a voice shout
[03:05.98]"Have a crazy cool Christmas but don't get knocked out "
