And a bag full of goodies, 12 o'clock had neared
And Santa put gifts under Christmas trees
And that's what Christmas is all about
Beneath the mistletoe as we drink egg nog
But when I got home I bugged, cause under the tree
Decorate the house with lights at night
Enough to buy a boat and matching car with ease
I approached very slowly with my heart full of fear
I picket the wallet up then I took a pause
It's Christmas time and we got the spirit
It's Christmas time in Hollis Queens
Jack Frost chillin', the hawk is out
Looked at his dog, oh my God, an ill reindeer
Mom's cooking chicken and collard greens
My name's D.M.C. with the mic in my hand
Rhymes so loud and prod you hear it
Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese
Snow's on the ground, snow white so bright
So I turned my head a second and the man had gone
So open your eyes, lend us an ear
The rhymes you hear are the rhymes of Darryl's
The time is now, the place is here
Took out the license and it cold said "Santa Claus"
Was a letter from Santa and all the dough was for me
We want to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
When I see a man chilling with his dog in the park
