American Authors

And now, here s American Authors
performing one of my favorite songs
by Run D. M. C. Christmas in Hollis

It was December 24th on Hollis Ave after dark
When I seen a man chilling 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, 12 o clock had neared
So I turned my head a second and the man was gone
But he must ve dropped his wallet smack dead on the lawn
I picked the wallet up but then I took a pause
Took out th? license and it cold said Santa Claus
A million dollars in it, cold hundreds of G s
Enough to buy a boat and matching car with ?ase
But I d never steal from Santa, cause that ain t right
So I m 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 was for me

Fa, la la la la
Fa, la la la la
Fa, la la la la

Well, It s Christmas time in Hollis, Queens
Mom s cookin 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 eggnog
The rhymes that you hear are the rhymes of Darryl s
But each and every year we bust Christmas carols
Fa, la la la la
Fa, la la la la

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 D. M. C. with the mic in my hand
And I m chilling and coolin just like a snowman
So open your eyes, lend us an ear
Say

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
