It was December 24th on Hollis Ave at the dark |
|
When I seen a man chilling with his dog at the park |
|
I approached them very slowly with my heart full of fear |
|
Looked at his dog, oh my God, a ill reindeer |
|
But then I was illin' because the man had a beard |
|
And a bag full of goodies, 12 o'clock had neared |
|
So I turned my head a second and the man was gone |
|
But he left his drivers wallet smack dead on the lawn |
|
I picket the wallet up and then I took a pause |
|
Took out the license and it cold said Santa Claus |
|
A million dollars in it, cold hundreds of G's |
|
Enough to buy a boat, matching car with ease |
|
But I'd never steal from Santa, 'cause that ain't right |
|
So I was going home to mail it back to him that night |
|
But when I got home I bugged, 'cause under the tree |
|
Was a letter from Santa and the dough is for me |
|
It's Christmas time in Hollis Queens |
|
Mom's cooking chicken and collard greens |
|
Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese |
|
And Santa put gifts under Christmas trees |
|
Decorate the house with lights at night |
|
Snow's on the ground, snow white so bright |
|
In the fireplace is the yule log |
|
Beneath the mistletoe as we drink egg nog |
|
The rhymes you hear are the rhymes of Darryl's |
|
But each and every year we bust Christmas carols |
|
Rhymes so loud and prod you hear it |
|
It's Christmas time and we got the spirit |
|
Jack Frost chillin', the orchas out? |
|
And that's what Christmas is all about |
|
The time is now, the place is here |
|
And the whole wide world is filled with cheer |
|
My name's DMC with the mic in my hand |
|
And I'm chilling and coolin' just like a snowman |
|
So open your eyes, lend us a ear, we want to say |
|
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year |
