Skateboarding Santa

I couldn't readily find more than a school choir singing this song, so I figured I'd just type the lyrics as I remember them. I was born and raised in FL, so naturally all the snow and snowman songs didn't really resonate with us. Then, 3rd grade I think, our school did the song with a dress up santa on a skateboard and everything-- and I've seen it a few times since. As such my twin and I couldn't help singing it for our younger cousins here in Lynchburg, VA, where it does snow, pretty much every year. They love it and I'm sure you'll be amused by it too (at least.)

SKATEBOARDING SANTA

Let me tell you 'bout a Christmas not so long ago,

there was a mighty heat wave and not an ounce of snow.

The kids were shrug'n and a' shake'n their heads

at the weather that was better for swim'n than sleds--

And no one really knew what to do or say

'cuz Santa couldn't bring the presents in the usual way

When from out of the blue and from over a hill

there came a vision of speed and incredible skill

he sped around the corner 'cross the railroad track

with a sack full of toys thrown over his back

And the crowd began to hollar and the crowd began to cheer

'Cuz skateboarding Sata's bringing presents this year

//chorus// overlaping 1 & 2

1 - GOOOOO (hold 5 sec count) Santa-Go-Santa GOOOOO (hold 5 sec count)

Santa-Go-Santa GOOOOO Santa-Go-Santa GOOOOO

2 - Go-Santa, Go-Santa, Go-Stanta, Go... Go-Santa, Go-Santa, Go-Stanta, Go... Go-Santa, Go-Santa, Go-Stanta, Go... Go-Santa, Go-Santa, Go-Stanta, Go

And everybody's cheer'n as their watch'n him go

'cuz Santa's ride'n that skateboard just like a pro

He did freestyle combinations, every trick in the book

and he was rip'n the ramps without a second look

he did a 50/50 grind without take'n a fall

he did a fastplant over the hip to the wall

And we heard him exlaim, as he skated out of sight,

"Merry Christmas to all you skaters and to all a good night!"

//chorus// overlaping 1 & 2

1 - GOOOOO (hold 5 sec count) Santa-Go-Santa GOOOOO (hold 5 sec count)

Santa-Go-Santa GOOOOO Santa-Go-Santa GOOOOO

2 - Go-Santa, Go-Santa, Go-Stanta, Go... Go-Santa, Go-Santa, Go-Stanta, Go... Go-Santa, Go-Santa, Go-Stanta, Go... Go-Santa, Go-Santa, Go-Stanta, Go

And everybody's cheer'n as their watch'n him go

'cuz Santa's ride'n that skateboard just like a pro

I don't know that the original song ended as I have it above, but that's how my Twin and I have sung it for the last decade or so, so.. yeah. Hope you enjoyed!

As for a link you can listen to. My Twin and I, and a cameo of our younger brother Steel, sung almost 15 mins of christmas carols (with a few drinks) and emailed them to family in 2011. We're not singers but it's entertaining, I think. :-p
