It was December 24th, when Hollis Avenue's the dark When I see the 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 ill and cold, the man had a beard And a bag full of goodies, twelve o'clock it near So I turned my head a second and the man was gone But he must have dropped his 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 I'd love to buy a Bowie Magic car with E's But I'd never steal from Santa, cause Santa ain't right So I was going home to manor back to him that night But when I got home I bugged, cause under the tree Was a letter from Santa and a dose of me It's Christmas time in Hollis, Queens Mom's cooking chicken in collard greens Rice and stuff and macaroni and cheese And Santa put gifts under Christmas trees Decorate the house with lights at night Snows 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 carols Like each and every year we bust Christmas carols Rhymes so loud and proud you hear it It's Christmas time 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 DMC with the mic in my hand And I'm chillin' and coolin' just like a snowman So open your eyes, lend us an ear We wanna say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Merry Christmas!
