Story Behind The Song
I am an artist of sorts and one day I was doodling and came up with this little character, "Dusty Soot". I thought he could definitely be a new Christmas character and therefore I created songs and stories galore. This one is about Dusty's reindeer - Rocket and how they work all through the night getting all the chimneys ready for Santa.
Song Description
Dusty Soot is Santa's chimney sweeper and "Rocket" is Dusty's reindeer. Together they work all throught the night cleaning up for Santa.

Lyrics
ROCKIN' --- ?DUSTY SOOT?
(Shmoot?ashes + dirt)
1.
Dusty Soot is his name and only claim to fame is that he works for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve.
2.
He sweeps each chimney clean so when Santa makes that scene, he knows that he'll stay clean throughout the night.
Bridge:
He's got a reindeer he calls "Rocket" and a sleigh that's just his size.
You'll hear Rocket's hoofs run across the roof - that's when you realize.
3.
It's Dusty Soot - that's his name - and his only claim to fame is that he works for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve.
4.
His name is Dusty Soot and he cleans up all that "shmoot" on Christmas Eve before Santa comes to town.
5.
Now, "shmoot" is not a word that anybody ever heard --- and in the Oxford Dictionary it can't be found.
Bridge:
If you hear a noise up in your chimney and it's early in the night - it's Dusty Soot and Rocket Reindeer just cleaning up that site.
6.
So listen to what's said - get yourself right into bed - 'cause you'll soon hear Santa's sleigh comin' 'round.
