(Hey Charles)
What's up Simeon?
(Hey man, what you gonna do for Christmas this year?)
Well, I haven't quite decided yet, what you had in mind?
(You know man I think I'm gonna take my girl and head on down to Memphis)
So you gonna spend time with your baby, huh?
(You know I was thinking about gettin' me some good barbecue and hearing some good music for a change)
That sounds good, I guess I'll do the same thing
Well the end of the year is almost here
And the radio's playing Nat King Cole
And girl you look so lovely tonight
I see that sparkle in your eye
In the Tennessee light
Christmas in Memphis with my baby
(With my baby)
It's Christmas in Memphis with my girl yeah
The stores are all closed
And the shopping is done
And before Santa comes, we're gonna get it on (yeah)
(Listen to me, you all)
The snow is so pretty out the window
And everyone is so friendly this time of year
The smells from the kitchen fills my home
And we'll drive down to Beale Street
To hear the southern soul
'Cause it's Christmas
Christmas in Memphis with my baby
(With my baby)
It's Christmas in Memphis with my girl
(Ooh with my girl)
The stores are all closed
And the shopping is done
And before Santa comes, we're gonna get it on
Girl in the morning we'll swap presents, mm
Get on the phone and call our family (yeah)
And we'll thank God for all that He's given
And the next time this year
We'll do it all again
'Cause it's Christmas
Christmas in Memphis with my baby
(Oh)
