Christmas In The City - Angie Martinez, Mary J. Blige

Christmas in the city, boy

Ain’t nothing like it (word up)

Yo, remember last year

I think we was on tour last year

I ain’t tryin' to be (word up) in the city

That’s what I want

Christmas in the city

Christmas jams at the tunnel

Chop through hustle and bustle

Snow and lights make wonderland

Out of this concrete jungle

There’s a miracle on 34th Street

On a train, yeah, that lady

With all them bags, you see

Radio City for the Christmas show

We making Angels in the snow

Giving honey lots of kisses under Mistletoe

Snowball fights at courtyards

See Spanish Harlem sing Feliz Navidad

New York state of mind

At Christmas time

In the city

All the children showing

Their new clothes and toys and things

That they got for Christmas, this year

Their full of happiness and cheer

On Christmas in the city

I’m so glad I’m living

To see another Christmas Day

Got to show the Lord I appreciate

His blessings on this special day

It’s Christmas in the city (hey)

CHORUS:

Christmas in the city

(Christmas in the city)

Ain’t no place I’d rather be (yeah, oh)

Out of all the places I could be

I’d rather be

(I'd rather be)

In New York, chilly

Rockefeller Center

Has the biggest Christmas tree of all

You can go downtown and see it all

I guarantee you’ll have a ball

On Christmas in the city

Something about this atmosphere

Makes me want to stay right here

I can see the city lights

Watch the cab drivers fuss and fight, on Broadway

And it’s Christmas, Christmas, yeah

CHORUS

CHORUS

I want to be chilly

La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la Out of all the places I could be

I’d rather be home, chilly

CHORUS

CHORUS

CHORUS (Fade out)
