Lyrics

Well, you're about to be right now!

I'm the ghost of what's right now!

(Aah!) Just take a lesson from Yeezy!

You're missing the point, Ebeneezy!

There's more to life than your work; take it easy!

Even I can make time for Azizy!

Best put some friends on your wish list

'Cause you don't know the spirit of Christmas!

If you did, then you would, at this moment (aah!),

Be sharing your money with some of the homeless!
