Boogie Woogie Santa
Year: 1948
Written By: Leon René
Although written by
Leon René 'Boogie Woogie Santa Claus' was made famous by the long
line of artists that chose to record it. And many of them gave the
swingin' rock and roll tune their own unique flavour. Mabel Scott
was the first to turn 'Boogie Woogie Santa Claus' into a hit and
it's easy to see why when you hear her bolshy bluesy tones. In 1955
Patti Page upped the tempo even further for her Christmas album
from that year. Flush with brass and delightful percussion Page
sounds as if she could set any festive scene alight. The Brian
Selzer Orchestra may have recorded René's tune much closer to
contemporary times (2002) but their version is still soaked in
retro rockabilly. Quite how this sort of stuff would go down
outside of party time is anyone's guess but with some mulled wine
on board it is hard to beat.
Boogie Woogie Santa Lyrics
Well look here Jack
There's something down the track
He's got rhythm in his feet
But nothing in the sack
The boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa
Comes to town every Christmas day
Well he lives up in a mountain
Like a hermit in the cave
He never had a haircut
He never took a shave
The boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa
Comes this time every Christmas day
Well it's rock rock rock Mr. Santa
Jump jump jump Mr. Santa
Well the boogie woogie Santa Will boogie all your blues away
Got no presents for your tree
No Candy for your socks
When he starts to boogie
The whole town rocks
Mama get your hat
Put your best dress on
We're gonna jump for joy
On the Christmas morn
The boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa Boogie all your blues away
Well it's rock rock rock Mr. Santa
Jump jump jump Mr. Santa Claus
Well the boogie woogie Santa Will boogie all your blues away
