T'was The Night Before Christmas - Hip Style
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the pad Not a hip cat was swinging and that's
nowhere, dad The stove was hung up in the stocking routine In hopes that the fat man would
soon make the scene.
The kids had all had it so they hit their sacks And me and the bride
had just begun to relax When there started a rumble that came on real frantic So I opened
the window to figure the panic.
I saw a square short that was makin' fat tracks Bein'
pulled by eight dogs who were wearing hat racks And a funny old geezer was flippin' his lid
He told 'em to "make it," and man, like, they did!
I couldn't help diggin' the scene on the
roof As I stood there just waiting for chubby to goof. They stood by the chimney in bunches
and clusters 'Till chubby slid down coming on like gang busters.
His threads were the
squarest and I just had to chuckle In front (not in back) was his Ivy League buckle. The
mop on his chin hid his button-down collar And with that red nose, man, he looked like a baller.
Like, he was the squarest, the most absolute But face it, who cares when he left all that loot?
He laid the jazz on me and fled from the gig Wailin' "Have a cool Yule and man, later, like, dig!"
