bootsy collins - silent night lyrics
yeah, i remember
i remember when i was a little boy
me and my sister was always excited about christmas
my older brother, catfish
he seemed to never be excited about christmas or
nothin’ else too much for some strange reason
but my sister and i was all the way over the top
every year was christmas, christmas, christmas
i wanted me a lionel train, yeah
then as time went on, i began to hang around the wrong crowd so to speak
but i felt it was the right crowd for me
they began to tell me, “aw, there ain’t no santa” (aw, it looks like kris missed us)
then they took it a step further and said, “well, how is he gonna get in your house
and you livin’ in the ghetto with no fireplace?
what kinda chimney is he gonna come down?”
i said, “hmm” (must be comin’ through the window)
so, uh, if you stay in the bas+m+nt, you’ll never fall out the window
that’s what my mama always said (god bless her soul)
so i changed santa’s name to protect the innocent (and you know we all guilty)
and now i call him the king of kings (yeah)
and lord of lords (preach)
and oh yeah, i do believe (in funk we thrust)
yeah (’cause havin’ faith is not an option)
you know we must (believe that)
uh, silent night
and it’s a holy night
yeah, because, uh, all is calm
and uh, all is bright
lookin’ good, baby
round yon virgin, mother and child
it’s holy, holy infant, oh, so tender, tender and mild
sleep, baby, yeah, heavenly peace
and don’t disturb the peace
you and me, baby
sleep in heavenly peace
has to be like it used to be
has to be like it used to be
has to be like it used to be
has to be like it used to be
now settle down
silent night (ah, silent night, baby)
holy night (it’s a holy, it’s a holy night)
shepherds quake (uh, shepherds quake at the sight)
at the sight (yeah, check it out, glory)
glories stream (oh, they stream from heaven)
from heaven above (yeah, baby)
(heavenly host) heaven, heavenly host
(sing, hallelujah) oh, sing, hallelujah (hallelujah, baby, uh)
(christ) christ the savior is born, whoa (yeah, hallelujah)
christ (christ, yeah) the savior, savior is born (our savior)
you got to get, you got to get
get ready, get ready, get ready
you got to get, you got to get
the truth is what he died for
you got to get, you got to get
get ready, get ready, get ready
for my eyes have seen it comin’ and the glory of the lord
like a five+dollar hat on a knucklehead
friend, now you know i ain’t ever scared
ah, did i frighten you?
(when the players play)
of course (of course i’ma play it)
silent night, holy night
such a wonderful star, be the light
oh, but the angels better sing
hallelujah to a glorious king
christ the savior is born
silent night, holy night
