MACKLEMORE: IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME (FEAT. DAN CAPLEN)

oh I wish it was 99’
when I was a kid at Christmas time
couldn’t go to bed that night
Santa Close sliding,
snow in the driveway
under the lit up Christmas Tree
whit my crazy ass family
singing ooh oh oh
wish I was a kid at Christmas again

fill up the gas in the SUV
spent way too much time tryna pick up our tree
the ceiling ain’t as tall as we thought, I see
gotta cut a couple inches off the top to proceed
and now we stringing the lights up
listening to Bing Crosby by the fire
Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Mariah
turn off that Michael Bubble
turn on that one movie about the kid who licked the telephone pole on the blue ray
Red Ryder BB-gun, staying up all night
Jimmy Stewart
it’s A Wonderful Life, now am I right?
the collar’s puffy
the beard os long
the belly’s tubby
but the reindeer are strong
it’s Santa Claus

oh I wish it was 99’
when I was a kid at Christmas time
couldn’t go to bed that night
Santa Close sliding,
snow in the driveway
under the lit up Christmas Tree
whit my crazy ass family
singing ooh oh oh
wish I was a kid at Christmas again

I wrap presents like a kid wearng mittens
Blindfolded, whit a pair of left-handed scissors
Janky but the gift inside
ridiculous
better than whatever ot is you had on wishlist
dig n a whip up the Bisquick
got outside, ant throw ‘round the pigskin
I am a dad now, but still feel like a big kid
best time of the year, can I get an a amen?
the almond roca, the hottest cocoa
the track around the tree whit the locomotive
I wanted a Jordan poster to measure my growth spurt
starter logo, Georgetown Hoyas
I am going off the head, y’all
homemade cookies that I dip in the eggnog
I wanna take a second
and shout out my dead dog
toby
he is tead!

oh I wish it was 99’
when I was a kid at Christmas time
couldn’t go to bed that night
Santa Close sliding,
snow in the driveway
under the lit up Christmas Tree
whit my crazy ass family
singing ooh oh oh
wish I was a kid at Christmas again
