One String of Lights

เนื้อเพลง

PUT SOME CHRISTMAS ON IT! [Intro — funky bass riff, sleigh bells, playful talking] Aye! Aye! Hold up, hold up! Who done plugged that tree in?! Man, turn them lights up! It’s Christmas, baby! Ha-ha! Let’s go! [Chorus — bouncy, infectious, half-sung] Put some Christmas on it! (Go ’head, put it on!) Little lights, little love, Put some Christmas on it! If the whole house jumping, Put some Christmas on it! If the bass line bumping, Put some Christmas on it! Aye! Aye! Aye! We ain’t sitting down tonight! Aye! Aye! Aye! Got the whole house feeling right! [Verse 1 — playful Southern melodic rap] Pulled up to the house, decorations everywhere, Inflatable Santa looking like he need some air! Neighbor got a reindeer standing twelve feet tall, I got one string of lights, but I’m proud of ’em all! Kids got a list that’s a mile and a half, I looked at them prices, had to sit back and laugh. Mama said, “Don’t you touch nothing on that stove!” But that macaroni calling, man, I gotta get close! Uncle in the corner talking ‘bout back in his day, Cousin got the Bluetooth, won’t let nobody play. Somebody started dancing, now the whole room gone, Even Grandma in the kitchen got her two-step on! [Pre-Chorus — smooth female background harmonies] Ohhh, don’t need a million dollars, To make this Christmas bright! Just a little bit of loving, And a whole lotta lights! [Chorus] Put some Christmas on it! (Go ’head, put it on!) Little lights, little love, Put some Christmas on it! If the whole house jumping, Put some Christmas on it! If the bass line bumping, Put some Christmas on it! [Verse 2 — funky, confident, humorous] Got a fresh little outfit, smelling good, feeling clean, Standing by the fireplace like I’m part of the scene. Wife said, “Take them pictures!” I said, “Baby, alright!” Twenty-seven different poses, still ain’t got one right! Got the cousins in the driveway, everybody pulling in, Somebody brought a fruitcake, we ain’t touching that again! Got a table full of food, got the music turned loud, Ain’t nobody going home till we dance another round! We done worked all year, we deserve a little cheer, Put the worries on the shelf, Christmas finally here! And we know the real reason that we celebrate tonight, Thank the Lord for another one, now turn up them lights! [Bridge — beat drops to bass and handclaps] Now if your tree lit up, say HEY! (HEY!) If your food cooked up, say HEY! (HEY!) If your family showed up, say HEY! (HEY!) If you made it through the year, say HEY! (HEYYYY!) Now two-step to the left! Slide it to the right! Grab somebody close, It’s a Christmas kind of night! [Final Chorus — full funk band, layered vocals] Put some Christmas on it! (Go ’head, put it on!) Little lights, little love, Put some Christmas on it! If the whole house jumping, Put some Christmas on it! If the bass line bumping, Put some Christmas on it! [Outro — playful spoken voice over bass groove] Aye, who unplugged the tree?! Man, I just got them lights working! Ha-ha-ha! Merry Christmas, y’all! Now somebody fix me a plate! [Instrumental funk groove fades with sleigh bells]
