Christmas In The City |
Christmas in the city, boy |
Ain’t nothing like it (word up) |
Yo, remember last year |
I think we was on tour last year |
I ain’t tryin' to be (word up) in the city |
That’s what I want |
Christmas in the city |
Christmas jams at the tunnel |
Chop through hustle and bustle |
Snow and lights make wonderland |
Out of this concrete jungle |
There’s a miracle on 34th Street |
On a train, yeah, that lady |
With all them bags, you see |
Radio City for the Christmas show |
We making Angels in the snow |
Giving honey lots of kisses under Mistletoe |
Snowball fights at courtyards |
See Spanish Harlem sing Feliz Navidad |
New York state of mind |
At Christmas time |
In the city |
All the children showing |
Their new clothes and toys and things |
That they got for Christmas, this year |
Their full of happiness and cheer |
On Christmas in the city |
I’m so glad I’m living |
To see another Christmas Day |
Got to show the Lord I appreciate |
His blessings on this special day |
It’s Christmas in the city (hey) |
CHORUS: |
Christmas in the city |
(Christmas in the city) |
Ain’t no place I’d rather be (yeah, oh) |
Out of all the places I could be |
I’d rather be |
(I'd rather be) |
In New York, chilly |
Rockefeller Center |
Has the biggest Christmas tree of all |
You can go downtown and see it all |
I guarantee you’ll have a ball |
On Christmas in the city |
Something about this atmosphere |
Makes me want to stay right here |
I can see the city lights |
Watch the cab drivers fuss and fight, on Broadway |
And it’s Christmas, Christmas, yeah |
CHORUS |
CHORUS |
I want to be chilly |
La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la Out of all the places I could be |
I’d rather be home, chilly |
CHORUS |
