Christmas Rap

James likes this poem because ' It's very Christmasy and very Jolly" (myself I wondered if James actually read it ! more a reflection on the out of control consumerism of Christmas, but quite funny!)

Christmas commin'
     busters strummin'
     cash points hummin'
     high streets scrummin'
were all succumbin' once again.

Christmas stockin'
     folks all flockin'
     debit cards dockin'
     loot unlockin'
like a bomb tick-rockin' in the drivin' rain.

We're Christmas rappin', yes we are.
     Were Christmas rappin', indeed we are.

Christmas buyin'
     very very tryin'
     lost kids cryin'
     debts multiplyin'
hotter than July in the department store

Christmas shoppin'
     purses're poppin'
     rogues're robbin'
     ain't no stoppin'
very ones floppin' can't take no more.


We're Christmas rappin', yes we are.
     Were Christmas rappin', indeed we are

Christmas spendin'
     never ever endin'
     credit extendin'
     sharks out lendin'
til's all tendin' to overflow with cash.

Christmas wrappin'
     fivers flappin'
     plastic snappin'
     your wallet's got a gap in
the shops are all kidnappin' all of your stash.


We're Christmas rappin', yes we are.
     Were Christmas rappin', indeed we are

Christmas queuin'
     cash machines chewin'
     big debts brewin'
     on the road to ruin
it's all just doin' mi 'ead in fast

Christmas begginin'
     Santa's grinnin'
     senses swimin'
     wallets all slimmin'
and Slade blinkin' singin' --- IT'S CHRISTMAS!!


We're Christmas rappin', yes we are.
     Were Christmas rappin', indeed we are
