Christmas In Hollis Lyrics - A Very Special Christmas - Pretenders

[run] 

It was December 24th on Hollis ave in the dark 

When I see 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 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 

[d.m.c.] 

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 egg nog 

The rhymes you hear are the rhymes of darryl's 

But each and every year we bust chrsitmas carrols 

[run-d.m.c.] 

Rhymes so loud and prod you hear it 

It's christmas time and we got the spirit 

Jack frost chillin, the? orchas 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 

[d.m.c.] 

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!
