Christmas in Hollis - A Christmas Story Ensemble

It was December 24th on Hollis ave after dark

When I seen a man chilling with his dog in the park

I approached very slowly with my heart full of fear

Looked at his dog oh my god an 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 had gone

But he left his driver's wallet smack dead on the lawn

I picket the wallet up but 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 and matching car with ease

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 all the dough was 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 eggnog

The rhymes 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 Christmas time and we got the spirit

Jack frost chilling 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

We want to say

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
