Lyrics
"HEAVY METAL HOLLY" (rewritten lyrics to the melody of "Deck The Halls" Public Domain Christmas song.
Christmas time will soon be here and I'd love to rock n' roll heavy metal this year
Just rock n' roll Santa but no disco St. Nick
I want a record by The Cars and the new Cheap Trick
All this year I've been such a good boy
I didn't pout or cry, or get high since last July
Christmas time will soon be here and I'd love to rock n' roll heavy metal this year
Dear old Santa if you bring my guitar I'd like an Echo-Plex, flange and a fuzz wah-wah
I do need an amp, but just a hundred watt stack with a digital delay that I can strap to my back
Remember my brother likes to beat on the drums with a ra-tat-tat, ra-tat-tat, rumpity-tum-tum
Christmas time will soon be here and I'd love to rock n' roll heavy metal this year
I wanna' play The Paradise, Orpheum, Music Hall and Boston Garden every single night to a sold out crowd
My picture on the cover of The Boston Phoenix and a billboard high above The Prudential clouds
Dear old Santa is it too bizarre to wanna' be a star with a fat cigar in a new Jaguar?
Christmas time will soon be here and I'd love to rock n' roll heavy metal this year
Love to rock n' roll heavy metal this year
I'd love to rock n' roll
Love to rock n' roll
Love to rock n' roll
HEAVY METAL THIS YEAR!
HO HO HO MERRY CHRISTMAS
