Verse 1:
           A
It was the dark of the moon and it was Christmas soon
G
Only a day away
D                                A
D.O.T. was cracking down, and the toys had been delayed
        A                                      G
We were stuck in a drift at the ol’ north pole with 8 mighty anxious reindeer
       D
And if Santa didn’t get some help
     A
Well Christmas wouldn’t come this year

    F           C              G                   C
We need a Christmas Convoy, this ain't no silent night
    F           C              G                    E
We need a Christmas Convoy, jingle bells and Christmas lights
F                   C          G                            C
Come on and join our Convoy, and nothing's gonna get in our way
F                    C              G                     E
Santa and his Christmas Convoy, in his great big Peterbuilt sleigh

"Breaker Frosty this here's ol' red nose, yeah you wanna move it on over for Santa?
Yeah 10-4, he's greasy side up but we're bout' to turn this salt-shaker out "

Verse 2:
        A
Well we all pulled outta the ol’ north pole
        G
Ears on, eyes open wide
       D
We were shaking the bushes, lookin for bear
       A
In our triple digit ride
     A
That wiggle wagon had his bird dog on
      G
As it hovered ‘bove the ground
     D
Red, green and white for chicken lights
      A
Decked out and loud and proud

    F           C              G                   C
We got a Christmas Convoy, this ain't no silent night

F                   C          G                            C
Come on and join our Convoy, ain’t nothing gonna get in our way

"Ah Frosty, yeah we're 10-33 and back door now,
you're gonna hafta back off the hammer a bit cause we're double nickle and 'bout to hit the big road"

Verse 3:
         A               G
Well the big elf blew the doors off,
    D
his eight reindeer powered ride
    A
And flew past the bears den in Georgia overdrive
A                              G
When on the black ice up ahead, there proved to be a pinch
 D
A barricading roadblock
        A
Had been setup by the grinch
               D                                   C
Well there were teddy bears and cars and trucks and toys of every size
G
Teetering out of the top of
D
Santa’s shinny ride
   D
But Santa couldn’t back them up
C
No matter what the cost
G                                       D
cause if he let that 'ol Grinch stop us, this year's Christmas would be lost

"Ah Rudolph to Santa's Better Half,
ah ya Mrs. Clause you're gonna wear your bumper out if you don't back off a bit,
we're coming up on antler alley, and we need all the help we can get "

Verse 4:
A
The grinch had all his henchman
G
Lined up on the road ahead
   D
And Santa rolled his window down
A
And his nose and checks turned red
   A
He pulled his hat on low and tight
    G
And put the hammer down
      N.C.
And with a ho ho ho, he was slingin’ snow

Singing Santa Claus’ coming to town!

Chorus:
    F           C              G                   C
We got a Christmas Convoy, this ain't no silent night

F                   C          G                            C
Come on and join our Convoy, ain’t nothing gonna get in our way
