Текст песни: Reindeer Games + перевод

I’ve been waiting for these gifts, I’ve been waiting all year long

But when I woke up to sneak a peek, all the presents were all gone

Now I ain’t one to make a fuss but Christmas ain’t the same

With that old boy James, James, James playing reindeer games

It was the night before Christmas, me and Mike couldn’t sleep

We stayed up guessing about our presents cause we weren’t allowed to peek

But we ain’t very patient and we couldn’t wait no more

I felt the cool winter chill as my feet hit the floor

We opened up the door and we walked down the hall

But there wasn’t any presents, there were no presents at all

I looked over and Mike just started crying

I put my hand on his shoulder and said «It's gonna be fine!»

Don’t worry Mike, we’re gonna figure this out

We’re gonna get the presents back, that’s what Christmas is about

See, without present man, Christmas ain’t the same"

Mike looked over at me and said «It's gotta be James»

I said «You're right, I should have known

In the middle of the night, he must have broke into our home»

Mike said «Yo, he could be anywhere in town»

I said «I know but we gotta track him down»

I’ve been waiting for these gifts, I’ve been waiting all year long

But when I woke up to sneak a peek, all the presents were all gone

Now I ain’t one to make a fuss but Christmas ain’t the same

With that old boy James, James, James playing reindeer games

Me and Mike headed out on that cold winter night

With the snow shining bright underneath the moonlight

We drew James very best that we could

Taped him up to all the telephone poles in the hood

We stopped at the stores, taped his pictures to doors

It was the middle of the night and we was going on four

Me and Mike was getting cold, the trail was getting cold

By now, our gifts have been sold or resold

The sun came up, we been searching all night

We searched left, we searched right, it wasn’t anywhere in sight

We was getting tired, we was bout to call it quits

Then all of a sudden we got an anonymous tip

The caller said «I see him in the woods behind the school

Hurry cause I think he’s got your parents with him too»

Me and Mike headed off to the woods in a rush

We couldn’t believe it but sure enough, there he was

I’ve been waiting for these gifts, I’ve been waiting all year long

But when I woke up to sneak a peek, all the presents were all gone

Now I ain’t one to make a fuss but Christmas ain’t the same

With that old boy James, James, James playing reindeer games

Mike fired the sling shot and hit him in the butt cheek

James dropped to his knees and let out a loud shriek

He was dragging a big bag that Big Blue couldn’t even lift

Me and Mike ran up and said «Why did you steal our gifts?»

James said «Sorry guys, money’s been tight

Winter’s been so cold, there ain’t nobody riding bikes

When nobody’s riding bikes man, there’s no bikes to steal

I been going to church to get a nice hot meal»

Mike said «Shut up, James, give us back our presents

I looked at Mike and said «Dog, chill, just wait a second

James is clearly broke and we got a lot of gifts

It ain’t gon' kill us just to give him five or six

Then James said «Hey guys, how bout this

I ain’t keeping five or six, I’m keeping all your freaking gifts

I pulled my sword out, I was all ready for war

James pulled his magnum out, said «gun beats sword»

I’ve been waiting for these gifts, I’ve been waiting all year long

But when I woke up to sneak a peek, all the presents were all gone

Now I ain’t one to make a fuss but Christmas ain’t the same

With that old boy James, James, James playing reindeer games
