Story Behind The Song

Got up one day and had a crazy idea to write a "Rastafarian" Christmas song!

Lyrics

RASTA SANTA MAN!
Andrew Rothstein, Richard Schwartz

When its Christmas time so happy that I'm not in Canada
While the palm trees sway the sun shines all day in the Caribbean
Got no Christmas tree down by the sea, but nobody's sad cause

Here comes the Rasta Santa Man, flying overhead with his reindeer
Here comes the Rasta Santa Man, bringing everybody his good cheer

In his bright red socks and dangling dreadlocks he sings: Ho-Ho Hey
All the girls and boys will open their toys when he parks his sleigh
All his little elves sing to themselves this cool melody oh

Here comes the Rasta Santa Man, flying overhead with his reindeer
Here comes the Rasta Santa Man, bringing everybody his good cheer

We don't have no snow outside the bungalow
And who needs Mistletoe if we can kiss beneath the rainbow?

As we drink some rum and hug everyone, hear the guitars strum
Santa Man sings song while jamming along on the steel pan drum
See the first star shine! It's Christmas time! Everybody's singing

Here comes the Rasta Santa Man, flying overhead with his reindeer
Here comes the Rasta Santa Man, all the children glad that he comes here
Here comes the Rasta Santa Man, flying overhead with his reindeer
Here comes the Rasta Santa Man, bringing everybody his good cheer
