about

“Well, it was one of those cold clear winter nights and the stars were shining bright. It gave me the idea for the song, so I wrote it down. It was just before last Christmas and I thought we could do with a cheerful song, but didn’t get to record it. Seems like we could still do with a cheerful song, so here it is…still makes me smile!” - Brinsley Schwarz

lyrics

It’s a cold winter night
A thousand stars are shining bright
And there’s magic in the air
It seems to sparkle everywhere

And all the people are hurrying home
To their loved ones in the warm
And the children can hardly wait
They’re singing hurryalong Rudolf don't make Santa be late
This Christmas.

Santa's in his sleigh, presents piled up high
Racing across the sky
Rudolf and Randolph, they won’t let him down
They know they’ve got to deliver
All across town

It's a cold winter night
A thousand stars are shining bright
And there’s magic in the air
It seems to sparkle everywhere

And now the snow begin to fall
Turn the whole world white like a great big snowball
I take your hand tight in mine
And the smile on your face says let's have a really good time
This Christmas

Santa's in his sleigh, presents piled up high
Racing across the sky
Rudolf and Randolf, they won’t let him down
They know they’ve got to deliver
All across town
Yeah they’ve got to deliver
They know they’ve got to deliver
All across town,
This Christmas

Brinsley Schwarz image

Brinsley Schwarz London, UK

It’s not everyday a band takes on the eponym of their lead guitarist. A London-based pop outfit evolved into what would become pub-rock legends Brinsley Schwarz.

Remembered for their iconic performances and forging the foundations of London’s pub-rock scene, the Brinsleys brewed up a storm throughout the early 70s, with opening slots for the likes of Paul McCartney ... more
