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 CHORUS CHORUS (Fade out)
