Collard Greens Christmas

(Verse 1) It’s a Southern kind of holiday, the kitchen smells divine, Grandma’s got her apron on, she’s workin’ overtime. The yams are sweet, the ham’s on heat, the cornbread’s in the pan, But it ain’t a proper Christmas ‘til the greens take a stand. (Chorus) Collard Greens Christmas, taste it in the air, Spices simmer on the stove, love is everywhere. Collard Greens Christmas, bring the family near, A funky kind of holiday, the best time of the year! (Verse 2) The tree is lit, the record spins, we’re groovin’ in the glow, Pops is sippin’ eggnog while he’s tappin’ on his toe. The greens are tender, the seasoning’s right, the pot is overflowin’, It’s a funky celebration, keep that good vibe goin’! (Chorus) Collard Greens Christmas, taste it in the air, Spices simmer on the stove, love is everywhere. Collard Greens Christmas, bring the family near, A funky kind of holiday, the best time of the year! (Verse 3) Cousin’s got his saxophone, playin’ something smooth, Auntie’s on the tambourine, adding to the groove. We’re laughing, dancing, clappin’ hands, the greens still steal the show, ‘Cause Collard Greens Christmas is the only way to go! (Chorus) Collard Greens Christmas, taste it in the air, Spices simmer on the stove, love is everywhere. Collard Greens Christmas, bring the family near, A funky kind of holiday, the best time of the year! (Bridge) Pass the hot sauce, grab a plate, it’s time to get our fill, We’re raisin’ up our glasses to the love that keeps us still. Through laughter, tears, and funky beats, we’re all one family, Collard Greens Christmas keeps the spirit wild and free. (Outro) Collard Greens Christmas, oh, it’s a soulful night, The flavors and the rhythm, everything’s just right. Collard Greens Christmas, let the good times roll, A funky little Christmas warms the heart and feeds the soul! (Fade out with groovy bass line and sleigh bells)
