It was a cold Christmas Eve on the start of my last run down the super slab
I'd just passed the coffee shop
When I saw a little boy standing in the snow
Shivering and rubbing his little hands to keep himself warm
I pulled over the truck opened the door and shouted
"Hey little fella shouldn't you be tucked up in bed waiting for Santa Claus."
The little boy looked at me sadly and replied
"Mummy said Santa won't be coming this year
Since daddy lost his job, mums had to work day and night to make ends meet
So I thought I'd come and look for Santa Claus, as he drove by on his sleigh."

One-Nine for Santa
As he rides upon his sleigh
Bringing lots of presents
To make our Christmas Day
One-Nine for Santa
Do you read me loud and clear
Ten-Ten till we do it again
When you come back next year

After listening to the little boys story
I just felt there must be something I can do
So I shouted "Hey don't worry son
I'll put out a One-Nine for Santa Claus on my rig."
All the time I was hoping that one of my good buddies would come back with that handle
We sat there for what seemed like a lifetime waiting for that copy
And my hopes were beginning to fade
When suddenly a husky voice came through wall to wall saying
"Come back with your handle, this is Santa Claus."
I looked across at the little boys face
And I could see the excitement there, from what he'd just heard

One-Nine for Santa
As he rides upon his sleigh
Bringing lots of presents
To make our Christmas day
One-Nine for Santa
Do you read me loud and clear
Ten-Ten till we do it again
When you come back next year

And I finished telling Santa Claus the sad story of my little friend
And it was a big Ten Four, because he said
"Don't worry son, by the time my good buddy there has got you back to your Home Twenty
Your presents will be waiting
So Ten-Ten till we do it again
This is Santa Claus back in flight"
We headed up the super slab to the rainy city
And all the time I could feel the excitement in that little boy
And as we drove in to his street
I just caught sight of a big 24 wheeler with a 12 foot rig disappearing in to the night
And I knew then that my good buddies
Had made this little boys dream come true

One-Nine for Santa
As he rides upon his sleigh
Bringing lots of presents
To make our Christmas day
One-Nine for Santa
Do you read me loud and clear
Ten-Ten till we do it again
When you come back next year

One-Nine for Santa
As he rides upon his sleigh
Bringing lots of presents
To make our Christmas day...
