[Verse 1]
[D]'Twas the night [Bm]be f[G]ore [D]Christmas,
[Em]and all through [G]the [Bm]house[D]
Hold it [Em]now! Wait,
[G]hold it. That's played [Bm]out. Hit it!
[D]Don't you give

[Verse 2]
me all that [Em]jive about
things you wrote before [G]I's alive
'Cause this ain't 1823 - - ain't
[Bm]even 1970
Now [G]I'm the [D]guy named Kurtis Blow and
Christ[Em]mas is one thing I[G] know
[Bm]So e[D]very year ju[Em]st about t[Bm]his ti[Em]me,
[G]I c[Bm]elebrate it with a rhyme

[Verse 3]
Gonna shake it, gonna [D]bake it,
gonna make [Em]it good
Gonna [G]rock shock clock
it through your neighbourhood
[Bm]Gonna read, gonna sing it till
[D]it's understood
My rappin' bout [Em]to happen li[G]ke
a knee you've been slapping
[Bm]Or a toe you've be[D]en tapping
on [Em]a hun[G]k of wood

[Verse 4]
Bout a red- [Bm]suited dude
with [D]a friendly attitude
And [Em]a sleigh full of[Bm] goodies [G]for
for the people on the block
Got a long [Bm]white beard,
maybe looks [D]kind a weird
And if [Em]you e[G]ver see him,[Bm]
he could give you quite a shock
Now [D]people let me tell ya

[Verse 5]
bout last year
When the [Em]dude came flying over here
Well, [G]the hog was out,
[Bm]snow's on the ground
Folks [D]stayed [Em]in to party down
[G]The beat was thumping on the box,
[Bm]and I was dancing [D]in my socks
And [Em]the drummer played at a solid pace
[G]And a taste of the bass was in my face
And [Bm]the guitar playe[D]r [Em]layed
down a heavy [G]layer
Of the funky junky rhythm
[Bm]of t[D]he disco beat
And the [E]guy [Em]with [G]the 88's started
[Bm]to p[D]articipate
And [Em]I could sure appreci[G]ate
[Bm]a sound so sweat

[Verse 6]
We were all [Bm]in the
mood so we had [D]a little food
And a joke, and [Em]a smoke, and
a little bit of [G]wine
When [Bm]I thought I heard a hoof
[D]on the top of the roof
[E]Could it [Em]be or [G]was it me?
[Bm]I was feeling super fine
So I [D]went [Em]to your attic where
[G]I thought heard the [Bm]static
[D]On the chance that the prance
was [Em]somebody [G]breaking in
But [Bm]the noise on the top was a reindeer clop
[D]Just a trick St. Nick, and I
let the sucker [Em]in

[Verse 7]
He [Em]was roly, he [G]was poly,
and I said, "Holy moly!
You got [Bm]a lot of whiskers
on your chinny [D]chin chin"
He allowed he was proud of
the [Em]hairy little crowd
On the [G]point of his jaw where
the [Bm]skin should've been
Gets cool [D]for a [G]fool[Em][G]
[Em]goin[G]g out every Yule
For [Bm]a da[D]y on a sleigh when
[Em]the cold went low
[G]So the beard [Bm]may be weird but
[D]I'll never have it [Em]sheared
'Cause it's warm in the storm [G]when
it's ten below

[Verse 8]
I said, "You're right, it's [G]cold [Bm]tonight
But can you stop for
[D]a drop before you go?"
He said, "Why not if [Em]the music's hot?
[G]And I'll chance a dance
[Bm]beneath the mistletoe"
So he went downstairs
and [D]forgot his guests
And he rocked the [Em]spot and
[G]danced like a pro
And every young girl tried
to rock [Bm]his world
But he boogie oogie
[D]oogied til he had [Em]to go

[Verse 9]
And before [G]he went, this fine old [Bm]gent
Brought a gift with a sift
through his [D]big red bags
In the top or the bot[Em]tom,
he reached in and got 'em
Toys for the boys,
for the girls [G]glad rags
And the grownups [Bm]got some presents too
A new [D]TV and a stereo
A new Seville bout [Em]as
blue as the sky
The best that [G]money couldn't
buy
'Cause money could [Bm]never
ever buy [D]the feeling
The one that [Em]comes [G]from
not con[Bm]cealing
The way you you feel about your [D]friends
And this is how the story ends
[Em]The dude in red's back

[Verse 10]
at the Pole
Up [G]north where everything is cold
But if [Bm]he were right h[D]ere tonight
He'd say,
[Em]Merry Christmas and to [G]all a good night
