[INTRO]
[Heavy, distorted guitar. Bass growls underneath. Drummer hits a massive fill with double-kick + sleigh-bells on the hi-hat.]
[Santa (gravelly, stage-god voice)]
Ho! Ho! HOOO! You kept it quiet all year…
Now it’s time to make some NOISE!
---
[ VERSE 1]
Eight tiny engines burnin’ hotter than desire,
Fueled by cocoa rockets and chimney-soot fire!
The Pole starts rumblin’, the workshop screams,
Billions of boxes ridin’ lightning beams!
Sleigh’s got a nitro blast under the runner,
We ain’t flyin’ peaceful—NO—we bring the thunder!
Traded in the velvet for a leather suit black,
‘Cause once the big man launches, there’s no turnin’ back!
---
[PRE-CHORUS]
Checkin’ the list, yeah—I’m makin’ it twice,
Snow’s blowin’ sideways, the air’s cuttin’ like ice!
Every chimney, rooftop, tower and antenna—
Gonna wake the whole world from Tokyo to Vienna!
---
[CHORUS — THE HOOK]
REINDEER RIOT! (Gonna shake the snow!)
REINDEER RIOT! (Gonna steal the show!)
Hear the bells ring and the jet-stream scream—
It’s a ROCK & ROLL CHRISTMAS DREAM!
Kick the presents out the back door—
WE WANT MORE! MORE! MORE!
---
[VERSE 2]
You’re fast asleep, thinkin’ sweet little toys,
But the only sound tonight is the Reindeer Noise!
Blitzen shreddin’ slide, and Comet jammin’ keys,
Sky’s a stadium of thunder—droppin’ to your knees!
Milk and cookies waiting? Yeah, I’ll take that sip,
But I’m crackin’ open midnight with a metal-chain whip!
From the frozen crown to the oceans and plains,
Ice in my beard, molten fire in my veins!
---
[PRE-CHORUS]
Checkin’ the list, yeah—I’m makin’ it twice,
Snow’s blowin’ sideways, the air’s cuttin’ like ice!
Every chimney, rooftop, tower and antenna—
Gonna wake the whole world from Cairo to Vienna!
---
[ CHORUS — BIGGER, ELVES JOIN IN]
REINDEER RIOT! (Gonna shake the snow!)
REINDEER RIOT! (Gonna steal the show!)
Hear the bells ring and the jet-stream scream—
It’s a ROCK & ROLL CHRISTMAS DREAM!
Kick the presents out the back door—
WE WANT MORE! MORE! MORE!
---
[GUITAR SOLO / BRIDGE]
[Erupts in shred—high-speed tapping, sleigh-bells synced to drum fills, then crashes into a soaring melodic bend.]
[Santa (yelling over the solo)]
RUDOLPH—LIGHT IT UP! HIT IIIIIIT!
[Solo ends in a dive-bomb that sounds like the sleigh taking off.]
---
[FINAL CHORUS — SLOW, THEN EXPLODING]
REINDEER RIOT! (Gonna shake the snow!)
REINDEER RIOT! (Gonna steal the show!)
Hear the bells ring and the jet-stream scream—
It’s a ROCK & ROLL CHRISTMAS DREAM!
Kick the presents out the back door—
WE WANT MOOOORE! MORE! MORE!
---
[OUTRO]
[The intro riff returns, accelerating. Drums go wild.]
Santa screams a final, heroic note:
SANTA’S BAAAAACK!
[Cymbal crash. Sleigh engines roar into the fading distance. One last ghostly sleigh bell… then a deep, distorted] HO… HO… HOOOO
