    'Twas the night before "The Cruizers" Christmas, and all through the shop
    Not a creature was stirring, all work just had stopped
    The tools were all hung on the peg board with care
    In hopes that "The Cruizer" soon would be there
    The cars were all parked safely covered in the garage
    My Shelby, My GTO, and even my Hemi Dodge
    My wife in her robe and I in my Batman P.J.'s
    Had just settled down after X-Mas shopping for days
    When out on the driveway there arose such a clatter!
    It sounded to me just like pressure plate chatter
    On to the driveway I flew like the Flash
    I tripped over the dog and landed in the trash
    When there in the driveway beneath the Moon and the Stars
    Sat a 55 Chevy gasser with chrome ladder bars
    As I walked up closer to get a better view
    I noticed a Blown Big Block and cheater slicks too
    There behind the wheel sat a driver so tuff
    With Tattoos, an earring, and beard oh so ruff
    Dressed in Black leather he looked like a Bruizer
    I knew right away he must have been "The Cruizer"
    "I pulled second, I pulled third, then I heard a big Bang,
    Things started to smoke, things started to clang!"
    "I spotted your big garage with hopes of repair"
    His back seat was full of presents but I tried not to stare
    "If you can fix my 55 and make it shift right
    I will give you these gifts for ruining your night"
    We opened the door and pushed the 55 in
    Before I got underneath, he gave me a wink and a grin
    The headers were hot, the slicks they were sticky
    That blow-proof bell housing would make the job tricky
    I turned on my droplight and gave it a look
    The big 3 inch exhaust was making me cook
    When there to my surprise what did I see?
    The four tranny bolts had wiggled themselves free
    I grabbed my torque wrench and started to turn
    As I tightened the last one I could smell my sleeves burn
    He slid behind the wheel and fired up that mill
    As I directed him out listening to it idle had gave me a chill
    A Blown 454 with two 850's up top
    Chrome reverse rims and a 2 inch suspension drop
    He eased it out to the street and set the line lock
    I knew this would not be quiet, probably wake the whole block
    He revved it to 8 grand and let the clutch pop
    As the rubber and smoke poured from the tires I spotted a cop!
    He released the line lock and let that 55 loose
    This baby was ALL MOTOR with no signs of Juice!
    He fishtailed sideways, grabbed Third with plenty of guts
    With Police in chase he screamed out

    "MAKE SURE YOU USE LOCKTITE SO YOU DON'T LOOSE YOUR NUTS!"

    Merry Christmas to all my fellow Wagon owners!
