Christmas In Hollis

Lyrics

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, Twelve 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, 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 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 the dough was for me
 ♪
 It's Christmastime 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 (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 chilling and coolin' just like a snowman
 So open your eyes, lend us an ear
 We wanna say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
