Cactus Christmas - The Brian Setzer Orchestra

Santa’s yonder in the tumbleweeds

On a team of armadillos

Wearin' cowboy boots & a bolo tie

His shirt is stuffed with pillows

CACTUS CHRISTMAS Yippee Kayo Kaya

CACTUS CHRISTMAS There’s sand in Santa’s sleigh

Out where the jackrabbits roam

There’s no place like home for

CACTUS CHRISTMAS

Look at the happy little rattlesnakes

In holiday apparel

Wiggling through the sagebrush

To sing an old fashioned carol

CACTUS CHRISTMAS Yippee Kayo Kaya

CACTUS CHRISTMAS There’s sand in Santa’s sleigh

There’s gonna be presents everywhere

Underneath the prickly pear

CACTUS CHRISTMAS

And th stars these nights look like Christmas lights

Strung across th Western sky

Pleasin' to a cowboy’s eye

It’s a mirage, yes I know

But the sand looks like snow

A buzzard and a lizard

Hung their stockings with glee

A tarantula asked a gila monster

«Where could Santa be»?

It’s CACTUS CHRISTMAS Yippee Kayo Kaya

CACTUS CHRISTMAS Hey Santa is on his way

Out where it’s hot 'n sandy

Gonna be all dry and dandy

CACTUS CHRISTMAS

Out where the jackrabbits roam

There’s no place like home for

CACTUS CHRISTMAS

Yippee Kayo Kaya

Gonna be-aye-yee

CACTUS CHRISTMAS

CACTUS CHRISTMAS

(Whistling to end)
