It was December 24th, Hollis Ave. in the dark
When I seen a man chilling with his dog in a park
I approached very slowly with my heart full of fear
Looked at his dog, oh my god, a little reindeer
By then I was illin' 'cause a man had appeared
A bag full of goodies from a crock of near
I turned my head a second but then he was gone
Must have dropped my wallet smack down on the lawn
I picked the wallet up and then I took a pause
I got a lot of tender coats, said Santa Claus
A million dollars in cold hundreds of G's
Enough to buy a boat and matching car with ease
But I never steal from Santa 'cause that ain't right
So I was going home to benefit to him that night
But when I got home I was broke 'cause under the tree
Was a letter from Santa and 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's putting 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 where we drink eggnog
So the rhymes that you hear are the rhymes of Darryl
But each and every year we bust Christmas carols
Rhyme so loud and proud you hear it
It's Christmas time and we got the spirit
Jack Frost chillin', the old kid's 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
Yo, my name is Stevie P, with the left of my hand
I'm chilling and cool just like a snowman
So open your eyes, let it in
We want to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
