Happy Finnish Christmas (The Grand Tour S01E06)
[Intro] (Heavy power metal guitar riff, fast double-bass drums, subtle background jingle bells ringing aggressively) [Verse 1] The tundra is frozen, the pine trees are white Deep inside Lapland under the northern light The big white tent is covered in thick heavy snow Kakslauttanen is cheering, ready for the show [Verse 2] The fire is crackling, the presenters are cold They welcome the crowd with a story untold A Finnish winter special, a festive design With horsepower racing across the frost line [Verse 3] But first we go back to the Eboladrome track Where a blue American supercar is fighting back The brand new Ford GT, a carbon-fiber beast For Jeremy Clarkson, a mechanical feast [Verse 4] A twin-turbo V6 that screams like a jet The wildest Ford monster that you've ever met It lowers its suspension, it drops to the floor An absolute racer that begs for some more [Verse 5] Jeremy is flying through the Isba-bend tight The active rear wing is working with might It’s legal for the road, but it belongs on the grid The fastest lap time that the track ever did [Verse 6] Back in the snow tent, the Christmas tree is tall The trio is debating the greatest gift of all What car should Santa drive to deliver his toys? To all of the world's little petrolhead boys? [Verse 7] Richard chooses heritage, a red and white machine A customized Ford Mustang, the meanest ever seen With winter tires fitted and reindeer on the hood He thinks it would conquer the dark northern wood [Verse 8] But James May disagrees with a cynical smile He wants something sensible with classic British style A Ferrari GTC4Lusso is his holy plan With four-wheel drive power for the holiday man [Verse 9] They argue and bicker about luggage and space While Jeremy sits with a smirk on his face He thinks they are idiots, their choices are wrong Santa needs something more brutal and strong [Verse 10] They take to the snow track to settle the score Where rubber meets ice and the V8s just roar The Mustang is sliding, it’s spinning around Richard is struggling on the slippery ground [Verse 11] James drives very slowly, avoiding the drift Using the paddles for a sensible shift The luxury grand tourer is smooth in the slush But Captain Slow is never in a hurry or rush [Verse 12] Then Jeremy appears in a monstrous design A heavy-duty truck that ignores every line He shatters the ice and he blasts through the snow Showing the others how a real car should go [Verse 13] The local Finnish crowd is enjoying the fight As headlights are cutting through the polar night From reindeer racing to the ultimate drift The presenters are giving the ultimate gift [Verse 14] In Celebrity Brain Crash, a rock star is near Bob Geldof is walking, the fans start to cheer But a snowy catastrophe happens on cue He gets hit by a snowplow, dying for you [Verse 15] The lap times are counted, the arguments done The debate over Santa was highly immense fun The Finnish winter wonderland has given its best Putting three middle-aged men to the test [Verse 16] They pack up the studio, the heavy gear trucks Leaving the snowdrifts and the frozen wild ducks The Grand Tour is moving, the winter is past Chasing the highway, driving so fast [Verse 17] So raise up your glasses to the northern white sun The sixth crazy chapter is finally done With Ford GT speed and a metal Christmas cheer The grandest of tours will continue next year [Outro] (Symphonic power metal guitar solo, fast drums pounding, dramatic jingle bell finale, fading out with a howling winter wind)
