Christmas On Riverside Drive Lyrics & Chords By Kid Creole & 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)
(repeat )
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
(repeat )
Step on it, driver
