[E] I'm [N] number 24, but Hollis Avenue's the dock.
When I see the man chillin' with his dog in the park.
I'd have frozen very slowly with my heart [C] full of fear.
Looked at his dog, oh my god, a little reindeer.
[E] But then I was ill and cold and mad at a bitch.
[E] Had a bag full of feet, 12 o'clock in there.
So I turned my head and seen him and the man was gone.
But he must have dropped his wallet smack dead on the floor.
I picked the wallet up and then I took the horse.
Took out the license and then it cold, said Santa Claus.
A [Bm] million dollars in the cold, hundreds of [E] G's.
Another five-o [D]'clock, magic car with keys.
But I'd never feel for Santa, cause Santa ain't right.
[E] So I was going home to mail it back to him that night.
But when I [Bm] got home, I thought, who's under the tree?
[E] Was a letter from Santa and the door was for me.
