An’ all ober de hood
ereybody wuz sleepin’
Dey wuz sleepin’ good.
All o’ de fambily
Wuz layin’ in de beds
While Ripple and Thunderbird
Dance tru dey heads.
I passed out in de flo
Right next to my maw
When I heard sech a fuss, I thunk
“It must be de law!”
I looked out thru de bars
What covered my doe
Spectin’ de sheriff
Wif a warrant fo sho!
And what did I see?
I said, “Lawd, look atdat!”
Ther’ wuz a huge wabber-melon
Pulled by giant warf rats!
Now ober all de years
Sanna Claus, he be white
But, looks like us bros
Gets a black Sanna dis night.
Faster dan a po’lees car;
My home boy, he came.
He whupped on dem warf rats
And called dem by name!
On Leroy, on ‘lonzo,
And on Willie Lee,
On Saphire, on Chenequa;
Dey wuz a site to see!
As he landed dat watta-melon
Out der in de skreet
I knowed fo sho
Da damndest site I ebber did see!
He didn’t go down no chimbley;
He picked da lock on my doe!
And I sez to myself,
“Shit, he done dis befoe!”
He had dis big bag
Full of prezents i spect
Wid Jordans and fake gold
To wear roun my neck.
But he left no good prezents;
just started stealin’ my shit.
Got my drugs, got my guns,
Even got my burglar’s kit!
Wit my stuff in de bag
Out da window he flewed
I woulda tried to catch him
But he stole my knife too!
He jumped on dat wabber-melon
An’whipped out a switch
He wuz gone in a secon’,
dat sonuvabitch!
Next year I be hopin’
Anutha Sanna we git
Cuz diz here Sanna Claus
Just ain’t werf a shit!
