Hey, chingedy ching, hee haw, hee haw
It's Vanster, the Christmas long distance runner
Chingedy ching, hee haw, hee haw
The Dakota Christmas runner
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, Lakotah
Santa's got a friend, his name is Vanster
The cutest speed suit wearer, on the road he's just a blur.
When Santa visits the high plains with Vanster he'll be ok
Because the snow in Billings is just too deep for his sleigh.
Hey, chingedy ching, hee haw, hee haw
It's Vanster, the jogger
Chingedy ching, hee haw, hee haw
The Christmas long distance runner.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, Lakotah
Jingle bells around his feet and presents on the sled
Hey, look the mayor's derby is up on top of Vanster's head
A pair of shoes for Black Elk and a dress for Sleeps in Sky
The label on the inside says they're both made in Shanghai
Hey, Chingedy ching, hee haw, hee haw
It's Vanster, the jogger
Chingedy ching, hee haw, hee haw
The Christmas long distance runner
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, Lakotah
Children sing and clap their hands and Vanster starts ta prance
Dey talk with hands and smoke to him, and he understands
On the rolls and off the res, they dance the Christmas dance
When Vanster comes to town with toys and sweets picked up in France
Hey, chingedy ching, hee haw, hee haw
It's Vanster, the jogger.
Chingedy ching, hee haw, hee haw
The Christmas long distance runner
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, Lakotah
Hey Vanster, Wanikiya Tonpi Wowiushkin
Hee haw, hee haw, hee haw, hee haw, hee haw
