Christmas On Riverside Drive - Kid Creole And The Coconuts

That old San Bernardino

Was begging me to stay

But I’m sticking to the pattern

I’ll take Manhattan

At this time of the year

She nearly trapped me

With her sunshine

But you see, I broke away

(hip hip hooray)

Step on it driver, do it

Take me where my sweetheart is

'Cause there’s nothing as sublime

As Christmas on Riverside Drive

Take me 'long old Broadway

That sophisticated tramp

And pull it to a stop

When you hear the doorman shout

«It's good to have you back»

And when I play upon her doorbell

Jack Frost will run and hide

(oh me oh my)

I will spend the holiday

roasting chestnuts

and drinking syrup from a wooden cane

We will even take a stray

down the Hudson

every person’s waterway

Taking a sleigh ride (oo-wah)

Taking a sleigh ride (giddy-up-a)(oo-wah)

Taking a sleigh ride

Taking a sleigh ride

New York City winter escape

will blow your troubles away

Step on it, driver
