And now, here's American Authors performing one of my favorite songs
C G D By Run-D.M.C., "Christmas in Hollis"
[Verse 1]
G D It was December 24th on Hollis Ave in the dark Em C When I see a man chilling with his dog in the park G I approached very slowly with my heart full of fear C Looked at his dog, oh my God, a ill reindeer G D And then I was illin' 'cause the man had a beard Em D And a bag full of goodies, 12 o'clock had neared C G So I turned my head a second and the man was gone D But he left his drivers' wallet smack dead on the lawn G D I picked the wallet up and I took a pause Em D 'Cause the license, it cold said "Santa Claus" C Bm A million dollars in it, cold hundreds of G's D Enough to buy a boat and matching car with ease G D But I'd never steal from Santa, 'cause that ain't right C D So I was going home to mail it back to him that night C G But when I got home I bugged, 'cause under the tree D G Was a letter from Santa and the dough was for me, well D Em Fa, la la la la C G Fa, la la la la D Em Fa, la la la la
[Verse 2]
D G D Well, It's Christmas time in Hollis, Queens C D Mom's cookin' chicken and collard greens C G Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese D And Santa put gifts under the Christmas trees G GM7 Decorate the house with lights at night D Em D Snow's on the ground, snow white so bright C G In the fireplace is the old yule log D Beneath the mistletoe as we drink eggnog G D The rhymes that you hear are the rhymes of Darryl's C D But each and every year we bust Christmas carols C G Fa, la la la la D Fa, la la la la
