Twas the night before Christmas and out in the garage,
>
>>>>> There wasn't a trace of a Ford or a Dodge.
>>>>> The presents were wrapped and the lights were all lit,
>>>>> So I figured I'd mess with the Chevy 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 old Saint Nick!
>>>>> We stood there a bit, not sure what to say,
>>>>> Then he spoke up, "Wanna 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 "All right, let's go!"
>>>>> So as not to disturb all the neighbor's retreat,
>>>>> We pushed the Chevy on down to the street.
>>>>> Then taking our places to coast down the hill,
>>>>> I started my baby...it was always a thrill.
>>>>> The sound that erupted took him by surprise,
>>>>> But he liked it a lot, by the look in his eyes.
>>>>> With tires a'cryin' and headers 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 "I can't recall when I've felt so alive!'
>>>>> So I backed off the gas and said "You wanna drive?'
>>>>> Old Santa was stunned when I gave him the keys,
>>>>> When he walked past the headlights, he shook at the knees.
>>>>> The small block erupted with that American sound,
>>>>> When Santa stomped the gas, the tires shook the ground!
>>>>> Chirped into second and again into third,
>>>>> I just sat there holding on, at a loss for words.
>>>>> Then I heard him exclaim as he blasted from sight,
>>>>> "Merry Christmas to all, it's been one heck of a night"!
