Ah Breaker one nine, this here's the lead reindeer, you got a copy on me Frosty come on? Ah ya 10-4 there Frosty, fer sure

fer sure, by golly sure hope we still have a holly jolly one come on? Yeah that's a big 10 4 there Frosty, yeah we definitely

got our hands full tonight good buddy, mercy sakes alive we need a Christmas Convoy!


It was the dark of the moon,

and it was Christmas soon

Only a day away

D.O.T. was cracking down

and the toys had been delayed

we were stuck in a drift at the ol' North Pole

with eight mighty anxious reindeer

and if Santa didn't get some help

Christmas wouldn't come this year


We need a Christmas Convoy

this ain't no silent night

We need a Christmas Convoy

jingle bells and Christmas lights

Come on and join the Convoy

and nothing's gonna get in our way

Santa and his Christmas Convoy

in his great big Peterbuilt sleigh

Christmas Convoy


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


Well we all pulled outta the 'ol North Pole

ears on, eyes open wide

we were shaking the bushes, lookin for bear

in our triple digit ride

That wiggle wagon had his bird dog on as it hovered 'bove the ground

red green and white for chicken lights

decked out and loud and proud


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


Well the big elf blew the doors off

his eight reindeer powered ride

and flew on past the bear's den

in Georgia Overdrive

when on the black ice up ahead

there proved to be a pinch

a barricading roadblock

had been set up by the Grinch

Well there were teddy bears and cars and trucks and toys of every size

teetering out of the top of Santa's shiny ride

but Santa couldn't back 'em up

no matter what the cost

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


The grinch and all his henchmen

lined up on the road ahead

And Santa rolled his window down

and his nose and cheeks turned red

He pulled his hat on low and tight

and put the hammer down

and with a ho ho ho, he was slingin snow

singin Santa Claus is coming to town!


Yeah 10-4 Frosty what's your twenty? Guitar Town! Well they oughta know what to do with them toys down there for sure, well

mercy sakes good buddy we gonna back on outa here, so keep the Grinch off your back, and the toys in the sack, we'll catch





you next Christmas, this here's ol red nose in the lead, we gone, bye bye!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Paul Brandt's "Christmas Convoy" are a fun and playful take on the classic Christmas song, "Jingle Bells." The song tells the story of Santa and his reindeer encountering various obstacles on their way to deliver presents on Christmas Eve. They need a "Christmas Convoy" to help them get through the snow and avoid roadblocks set up by the Grinch.


The first verse sets the scene, with Santa and Frosty communicating via a CB radio. Santa is worried they might not have a "holly jolly" Christmas this year without some help. In the second verse, we learn that the toys have been delayed and DOT is cracking down, leaving Santa and the reindeer stuck in a drift at the North Pole. Without some assistance, Christmas could be lost this year. The chorus emphasizes the need for a "Christmas Convoy" to help them get through.


The final verses describe the convoy itself, with Santa and his eight reindeer, joined by a "wiggle wagon" and other helpers in trucks and cars. The Grinch tries to stop them with a roadblock, but Santa isn't deterred. The final verse has Santa singing "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," as they head to Guitar Town to deliver the presents.


Overall, the song is a lighthearted and entertaining take on the traditional Christmas story. It's a fun way to imagine Santa and his helpers as a trucking convoy, navigating the snow and the Grinch to make sure everyone has a happy holiday.
