Cool Yule
Kurt Elling Lyrics
From Coney Island to The Sunset Strip
Somebody's gonna make a happy trip
Tonight, while the moon is bright
He's gonna have a bag of crazy toys
To give the Groanies of the boys and girls
So dig, Santa comes on big
He'll come a-callin' when the snow's the most
When all you cats are sleepin' warm as toast
And you gonna flip when old Saint Nick
Takes a lick on the peppermint stick
He'll come a-flyin' from a higher place
And fill the stocking by the fire place
So you'll have a yule that's cool
Yeah, from Coney Island to The Sunset Strip
Somebody's gonna make a happy trip
Tonight, while the moon is bright
He's gonna have a bag of crazy toys
To give the Groanies of the boys and girls
So dig, Santa comes on big
He'll come a-callin' when the snow's the most
When all you cats are sleepin' warm as toast
And you gonna flip when the old Saint Nick
Takes a lick on the peppermint stick
He'll come a-flyin' from a higher place
And fill the stocking by the fire place
So you'll have a yule that's cool
Have a yule that's cool
Yeah, cool yule
