Lyrics
Son, I just don't like Christmas in the city
It's too crowded and it's too congested
I'm telling you, man, it ain't all that bad
There's something about Christmas when in the city
The ugliest places have now become pretty
Colorful and decorated, each year celebrated
Some of us are joyful, some are just frustrated
Tis the season for all to be jolly
A man on the corner dealing three card molly
Looks to be easy, it might be hard
On second thought, better get the Christmas cards
I can't become a Mickey on my way to the store
So many people I have to get presents for
There's father, mother, sisters and brothers
Uncles, aunts, grandparents and other
Relatives and friends I must include
The only time I am in the giving mood
Comes once a year when all is well
Beyond the noise of the city, you can always hear those bells
The bells are a sign of Christmastime
Santa Claus on the corner drinking wild Irish rope wine
People taking lake to give them up to Saint Nick
Don't mess with his helper 'cause she's only a trick
In the department store there's people galore
50% Off all sales on the first floor
Carolers caroling over the sound
A lot of pretty girls who shop downtown
Mothers and daughters, fathers and sons
In the shoe store buying two for one pair
Snowballs thrown at the window of the bus
Car going by hitting you with slush
Be careful not to meet a guy named Pete
Ain't a person in the world who Pete couldn't beat
The best part about it is it feels so well to be a
Native of the city so again, let's hear those bells
Not like in the country where you might take a sleigh ride
Ride the horse and buggy but you still gotta pay Clyde
Paper fireplace held up with tape
And Santa Claus comes by fire escape
You have trees decorated inside and out
In the city, there's only one tree in the
House that my mother put together limb by limb
And you can't use popcorn string as trim '
Cause the rats like salt and roaches like butter
They hang around the tree like bums in the gutter
But the tree looks nice and family's here
And Christmas comes but only once a year
It's time to show joy, touching hearts with toys
Reindeer and snowmen for girls and boys to learn
Christmas the right way and can't even spell
See a face show a smile worthwhile by silver bells
Hey, Troy, hit the bell
On Christmas Eve all the presents are hid from
Those who are chose to be treated as kids
Can't wait to find out, it's after 12:00
Try to catch Santa and a couple of elves
I gotta get something much better than my cousin
The racetrack he thought was his, haha, it wasn't
Now it's time to wait for New Year's Eve '
Cause Christmas blows like a winter breeze
Soon all decorations will be gone
One last cheer to bring the new year on
A merry Christmas and happy new year as well
I like gold but silver I deliver in the form of bells
So you see, yo, Christmas in the city ain't all that bad, my brother
But I just don't like it
Well, dig
Look, you see them girls over there?
Heck yeah, man
Well, look, that's a Christmas present from me to you, all right?
All right
Thanks
All right
Cool
A merry Christmas and a happy new year from King Sun, D
Moet, Kier Records, Profile, Chill Productions, and
Everybody in the city to everybody in the country
Peace
