12/16/09 - Bob Dylan
In case you didn't hear, Bob Dylan came out with a new album this year and, if you could believe this, it is a Christmas album. While I haven't had the pleasure of hearing the album yet (and I am skeptical about the word pleasure there), he does have one song up on Youtube, "Must Be Santa."
I just watched this video with my daughter and it is... interesting. The song is much better than you'd expect -- although vintage Dylan comes out saying "Ho, ho, ho" and in his list of presidents mixed with the names of Santa's reindeer.
Here is Bob Dylan's "Must Be Santa" and I have to ask, why was the guy running away?!?
Lyrics
Who's got a beard that's long and white
Santa's got a beard that's long and white
Who comes around on a special night
Santa comes around on a special night
Special Night, beard that's white
Must be Santa
Must be Santa
Must be Santa, Santa Claus
Who wears boots and a suit of red
Santa wears boots and a suit of red
Who wears a long cap on his head
Santa wears a long cap on his head
Cap on head, suit that's red
Special night, beard that's white
Must be Santa
Must be Santa
Must be Santa, Santa Claus
Who's got a big red cherry nose
Santa's got a big red cherry nose
Who laughs this way HO HO HO
Santa laughs this way HO HO HO
HO HO HO, cherry nose
Cap on head, suit that's red
Special night, beard that's white
Must be Santa
Must be Santa
Must be Santa, Santa Claus
Who very soon will come our way
Santa very soon will come our way
Eight little reindeer pull his sleigh
Santa's little reindeer pull his sleigh
Reindeer sleigh, come our way
HO HO HO, cherry nose
Cap on head, suit that's red
Special night, beard that's white
Must be Santa
Must be Santa
Must be Santa, Santa Claus
Dasher, Dancer,
Prancer, Vixen,
Eisenhower, Kennedy,
Johnson, Nixon.
Dasher, Dancer,
Prancer, VIxen,
Carter, Reagan,
Bush and Clinton.
Reindeer sleigh, come our way
HO HO HO, cherry nose
Cap on head, suit that's red
Special night, beard that's white
Must be Santa
Must be Santa
Must be Santa, Santa Claus
