(Yo, it's almost Christmas!)
(Dat's right! Christmas soon come!)
Welcome to our Reggae Christmas Rap!
Irie, Irie, mon!
[verse 1]
It's Christmas time, and it's time to party...
and I don't care who's been nice or naughty...
FA LA LA LA LA... LA LA LA LA LA LA.
(Jah mon, dat’s right!)...
[verse 2]
Santa’s sleigh is parked down on the beach…
He has bright red flip-flops on both his feets…
FA LA LA LA LA... LA LA LA LA LA LA.
(Da jolly mon is here!)
[verse 3]
His long white beard is done up in dreads…
And I noticed a surfboard tied to his sled…
FA LA LA LA LA... LA LA LA LA LA LA.
(Santa be the night surfer, mon!)
[verse 4]
His bright red shorts show off his suntan...
He loves catching rays whenever he can...
FA LA LA LA LA... LA LA LA LA LA LA.
(he gotta be careful he don't burn, mon!)
[verse 5]
Now he's headed up the road and into town
A Christmas celebration is about to go down!
FA LA LA LA LA... LA LA LA LA LA LA.
(It's a Christmas party in Jamaica mon!)
[10 second of steel drums interlude]
[verse 6]
Santa needs a cool drink, lookin' for a chill spot
the party is about to start, ready or not!
FA LA LA LA LA... LA LA LA LA LA LA.
(One Love to our northern Bredda!)
[verse 7]
Christmas night comes just once a year!
...But for now, we gonna party right here!
FA LA LA LA LA... LA LA LA LA LA LA.
(Yu large, Santa!)
[Verse 8]
Santa takes the stage and walks to the mic
"Wah gwann, everybody feelin' alright?"
FA LA LA LA LA... LA LA LA LA LA LA.
(Nuf respect Santa!)
[Verse 9]
He drank a Red Stripe and tried dancing some limbo
Then he ate a little jerk chicken, yuh dun know.
FA LA LA LA LA... LA LA LA LA LA LA.
(Much love, Jah. LA LA LA LA)
[verse 10]
He laughed and told stories till it was dark,
Then lit his old pipe with barely a spark.
FA LA LA LA LA... LA LA LA LA LA LA.
(De olda de moon, de brighter it shines Santa!)
[verse 11]
"One love, people" he announced just before
saying "likkle more" and heading out the door.
FA LA LA LA LA... LA LA LA LA LA LA.
(Bless up Santa!)
[verse 12]
So people clap your hands and tap your feets!
...Reggae Christmastimes just can't be beat!
FA LA LA LA LA... LA LA LA LA LA LA.
OKAY Rudolph…
FA LA LA LA LA... LA LA LA LA LA LA.
let's go get some milk and cookies!
FA LA LA LA LA... LA LA LA LA LA LA.
Ho! Ho! Ho!
FA LA LA LA LA... LA LA LA LA LA LA.
Merry Christmas to all...
FA LA LA LA LA... LA LA LA LA LA LA.
and to all a good night!
