'Twas the night before Christmas and in the garage
there wasn't a trace of a Chevy or Dodge.
The presents were wrapped and the lights were all lit
so I figured I'd mess with the Skyline for a bit,.....!
I unlatched the bonnet and 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 Ole Saint Nick!
We stood there a bit, not too sure what to say
then he said "Don't suppose that you'd 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 "Hey! Let's go!"
So as not to disturb all the neighbors' retreat
we pushed the Skyline quietly into the street.
Then, taking our places to drift down the hill,
I turned on the key and I let the clutch spill.
The sound that erupted took him by surprise
he liked it a lot....by the look in his eyes.
With Goodyear's a'cryin' and turbo's full blow
we headed on out where the hot rodders go.
Santa's grin widened, approaching his ears,
with every shift up as I went through the gears.
Then he yelled "Can't recall when I've felt so alive!"
so I backed off the gas and said "You wanna drive?"
Ole Santa was stunned when I gave him the keys
when he walked past the headlights he shook at the knees!
The straight six exploded as the car turned the ground!
Santa let out the clutch and with that sweet blow off sound!
Powershift into second, and again into third!
I sat there just watching, at a loss for a word.
Then I heard him exclaim as we blasted from sight,
"Merry Christmas to all,............it's a heck of a night!!!"
