I'D LIKE TO HITCH A RIDE WITH SANTA CLAUS
Holly Cole Trio


I'd like to hitch a ride with Santa Claus
Oh, wouldn't that be something to see?
I'd like to hitch a ride with Santa Claus
Dodging the clouds, waving at crowds
I'd crack the whip if people watched the weather vanes
Or checking on the tank, I'd help him with the bag
Or maybe I could handle the reigns

I'd like to hitch a ride with Santa Cluas
Oh, wouldn't they be jealous of me?
You couldn't say I ran away because
After we roam, he'll drive me home
And when they see me Christmas morning
What'll they say with the love of your life
There goes the girl who road with Santa Claus last night

I'd crack the whip if people watched the weather vanes
Or checking on the tank, I'd help him with the bag
Or maybe I could handle the reigns

I'd like to hitch a ride with Santa Cluas
Oh, wouldn't they be jealous of me?
You couldn't say I ran away because
After we roam, he'll drive me home
And when they see me Christmas morning
What'll they say with the love of your life
There goes the girl who road with Santa Claus last night
Last night
Last night
Santa Claus
