[Verse 1] Well, Leroy and Darnell, they was runnin’ that mouth, Tryna act tough, always hangin’ down South. Talkin’ slick, skippin’ school, playin’ games in the street— Didn’t think ‘bout the trouble that they’d soon meet. [Pre-Chorus] Mama said, “Boys, don’t go stray,” But they laughed and danced the other way. Now the snow’s fallin’ but the joy won’t stay— 'Cause bad boys sad on Christmas Day. [Chorus] 🎶 No toys under that tree, no sweet apple pie, Just a long cold look from a mama who cried. You reap what you sow, that’s what the wise men say— Bad boys sad on Christmas Day. 🎶 [Verse 2] They cut school Tuesday, snuck into the store, Tried to steal candy and a radio for more. Old Mr. Jenkins caught ‘em with the loot in hand— Called they mama up, said, “Come get your man.” [Pre-Chorus] Now they sittin’ by the window, watchin’ kids play, But all they got is a switch and a long pray. No jingle, no jangle, no joy to display— Bad boys sad on Christmas Day. [Chorus] 🎶 No bikes, no train sets, no matchbox cars, Just a lecture and a Bible under the stars. A hard-learned lesson with a price to pay— Bad boys sad on Christmas Day. 🎶 [Bridge – Soul Talk Breakdown] 🎤 "Now listen here, fellas… Santa don’t ride for no mischief crew, And blessings don’t come to them actin’ a fool. So next year, walk right, stand tall, Or you’ll be spendin’ Christmas with nothin’ at all." [Final Chorus – Gospel-style Lift] 🎶 Now they know what it means when you go astray, Tryna play slick on a holy day. But the Lord forgives if you kneel and pray— No more bad boys sad on Christmas Day. 🎶 [Outro – Call & Response with Choir] 🎵 No more trouble... (No more trouble!) 🎵 No more lies... (No more lies!) 🎵 Gonna be good now... (Gonna try!) 🎵 Merry Christmas... (By and by!)
