Lyrics: [Reverend Run] Ho-ho-hoin, what do you think, on Xmas it'll be snowin And people get their ???, ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? for growin You knowin, we're ???, in da Ghetto they're gettin nothin No toys for little boys, no curls for girls, the turkey stuffin They laugh, they have presents, ain't thick You might just wanna ask, "Where's my present St. Nick?" So think, a little about people minus money And when you get some dough, why don't you show some kind of sunny Go 'head, get fed, and spread a little love Get what you can afford just like the Lord from up above A quote, a note, and when you won't believe It's better to give than to receive (Yo!) It's Xmas no ???, listen all you listeners Think of all the prisoners that's in prison during Xmas Now try and bring your ???, to try and put you up on Layin it on the table, so you're able to put your cup on No snow, no not a flurry, so hurry don't you miss it Not dissin you but wishin you a very merry Xmas Give up the dough! Give up the dough! Give up the dough on Xmas yo! Give up the dough! Give up the dough! Give up the dough (Here we go, here we go!) [DMC] I'm from the Ghetto, does this mean I get no toys or presents beneath my tree? I wrote my list, I made my wish, is dis what Xmas means to me? No snowflakes droppin, can't go shoppin Rhymes are a-poppin, to keep the hip-hoppin Why cant-a Santa pause for the cause? I'm gettin mine, you gettin yours, thats how Xmas is supposed ta be A very merry Xmas for everybody, fight poverty, give to the needy Don't be like the Grinch, cause the Grinch is greedy Deck the malls with balls of holly, tis the season to be jolly No presents for my tree and, I don't even know if any gifts I'm gonna get Happy holidays, not like a lot a days, a few here, a few there, to the New Year Seasons Greetings are the reasons for the cheer If Santa Claus is coming to town, hope it's my chimney he's coming down On Xmas, because Xmas is, on Xmas, because Xmas is Give up the dough! Give up the dough! Give up the dough on Xmas yo! Give up the dough! Give up the dough! Give up the dough (Here we go, here we go!) Give up the dough! Give up the dough! Give up the dough on Xmas yo! Give up the dough! Give up the dough! Give up the dough (Here we go, here we go!) Here we go - flow! [Reverend Run] Have a very merry merry merry, and hairy And if ya need a leader, Run be there for your blurry blurry sight And write, a rhyme for the night Xmas is a time for givin, not for the tight So open your pocket, your heart, unlock it Dollars straight from Hollis, I give it like I clock it Cold is the weather, minus the humidity Don't mistake, ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? Xmas, dis must be the time of year Lego of your ego, rather ego amigo be there And here, my dear, so give a kid a beer Cause everytime you give, its coming back, lets get it clear I'll be scopin, and hopin, brothers lend an ear So have a merry Xmas, and a happy New Year Give up the dough!
