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 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 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
