[Verse 1]
 D
There´s a candy-colored '51 rollin´ around
 D
Creepin' down the avenues of North Pole town
 G
Round up all the fellas, tell 'em come over quick
             D
Because the driver looks a little like that Old Saint Nick
   A
Slidin´ 'round the corner like a vision in red
                D
Looks like he traded in the slip on that rickety sled


[Chorus]
  D
Santa's got a mean machine
  D
Santa's got a mean machine
  A7
It's the lowest, leanest sleigh that you ever seen
       D
Well Santa went and chopped him up a mean machine


[Verse 2]
 D
Bells on the bumper and candy cane spokes
  D
Whistlin' pipes that rumble and croak
  G
Nosed, decked, and paneled with a five-inch chop
               D
He's got the peppermint switches make him jump and hop
 A7
Red bucket seats, Santa, go go go
     D
The wide whites keep him rollin' low and slow


[Chorus]

  D
Santa's got a mean machine
  D
Santa's got a mean machine
  A7
It's the lowest, leanest sleigh that you ever seen
       D
Well Santa went and chopped him up a mean machine


[Verse 3]
  D
Here it comes cruisin´ down Santa Claus Lane
 D
A shifter knob for Johnny and a club coat for Jane
          G
Droppin' toys in the driveway so you better be good
          D                      D7
He's got reindeer power hiding under the hood
   A7
Hopping down the boulevard and makin' the scene
                  D                        D7
´Cause he's the craziest Kringle that you ever seen


[Chorus]

  D
Santa's got a mean machine
  D
Santa's got a mean machine
  A7
It's the lowest, leanest sleigh that you ever seen
       D
Well Santa went and chopped him up a mean machine


[Outro]
    A7
It's a bad dad
   A
Lean mean
  A
Killer diller
  A
Thriller filler
  A
Low and slow
  A
Rock 'n roll
   A
Hoppin' choppin'
   D
Mean machine
