IT WAS DECEMBER
TWENTY-FOURTH
ON HOLLIS AVE
IN THE DARK
WHEN I SEEN
A MAN CHILLIN'
WITH HIS DOG
IN THE PARK
I APPROACHED HIM
VERY SLOWLY WITH MY
HEART FULL OF FEAR
LOOKED AT HIS DOG
OH MY GOD
A ILL REINDEER
BUT THEN I WAS ILLIN'
'CAUSE THE MAN
HAD A BEARD
AND A BAG
FULL OF GOODIES
TWELVE O'CLOCK
HAD NEARED
SO I TURNED MY HEAD
A SECOND AND
THE MAN WAS GONE
BUT HE LEFT
HIS DRIVER'S WALLET
SMACK DEAD
ON THE LAWN
I PICKED 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
MATCHIN' CAR
WITH EASE
BUT I'D NEVER
STEAL FROM SANTA
'CAUSE THAT AIN'T RIGHT
SO I WAS GOIN' 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
WAS FOR ME
IT'S CHRISTMASTIME
IN HOLLIS QUEENS
MOM'S COOKIN' CHICKEN
AND COLLARD GREENS
RICE AND STUFFIN'
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 EGGNOG
THE RHYMES
THAT YOU HEAR
ARE THE RHYMES
OF DARRYL'S
BUT EACH
AND EVERY YEAR
WE BUST
CHRISTMAS CAROLS
RHYMES SO LOUD
AND PROUD
YOU HEAR IT
IT'S CHRISTMASTIME
AND WE GOT THE SPIRIT
JACK FROST CHILLIN'
THE HAWK IS 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 D.M.C.
WITH THE MIC
IN MY HAND
AND I'M CHILLIN
AND COOLIN'
JUST LIKE A SNOWMAN
SO OPEN YOUR EYES
LEND US A EAR
WE WANNA SAY
MERRY CHRISTMAS
AND HAPPY NEW YEAR
