The Speedies

All I want for Christmas is some speed

All I Want For Christmas Is Some Speed

I’m late for a Christmas party, like a dreadlock in grid lock
The traffic has been dreadful - I should have been the at eight o’clock,
My baby‘s probably snogging someone else by the mistletoe
Why is this Christmas light shining red for stop? when it should be green for go.

I don’t need loads of presents or even to get off me face
I just want the road ahead to clear and for the traffic to pick up pace.
If Santa does a ton-up on his sleigh then that’s just what I need
All I want for Christmas is some speed.
All I want for Christmas is some speed.

I want a GM car that you’d want to drive
I want someone to buy my Rover 75
I want a Fuel Cell Lotus that can also fly.
A Bugatti Veyron I‘ve the money to buy
I’ll take the batteries out of your Prius
I’ll stuff the Turkey with a Kia C’eed
All I want for Christmas is some speed
‘Coz all we want for Christmas is some speed

I don’t need loads of presents
or even to get off me face
I just want the road ahead to clear
and for the traffic to pick up pace.
If Santa can do a ton-up on his sleigh then that’s just what I need
All I want for Christmas is some speed.
All I want for Christmas is some speed.

Gimme a Bangle Bee-Em that for once looks great
I want a large French car that won’t depreciate
I want a Rolls-Royce Phantom with a telly and fridge
I want the Chinese not to make a mess of Longbridge

I want a litre of petrol for just 10p
I want more than two constructors in the WRC
I want a diesel car that is also fun
I want Damon Hill back in Formula One.

I need a car that reverses climate change
And get the Cayenne out of the Porsche range
I want a championship that Jenson plays a part in
I want someone good to buy Aston Martin
All I want for Christmas is some speed
All I want for Christmas is some speed.

Save your shopping, and your chip 'n' pin
Don't need no toy with no batteries in
When it comes to Christmas you know what I need
Gimme (Gimme) gimme (Gimme) gimme speeeeed
All I want for Christmas is some speed
All I want for Christmas is some speed

Don't want no socks, no power drill
Quality Street just makes me ill
When it comes to Christmas you know what I need
Gimme (gimme) Gimme (gimme) Kimi’s speed
All I want for Christmas is some speed.
