Mom and daddy sat around the christmas tree The kids played with presents on the floor Its a wonderful life was showing on the TV They were all getting kinda bored So daddy jumped up, said lets liven things up I was a big time producer you know Ill make a few calls, make a few old connections Get a few friends over to blow Sam & Dave turned up in a black cadillac James Brown flew in from the south Everybody wondered if this thing would swing But then Mary Wells opened her mouth And oh what a heavenly sound came out Then there was a knock on the door, (knock knock) There stood Eddie Floyd with a smile on his face And everybody yelled for more It was a soul christmas, we got a soul christmas And we gonna rock it right though the whole of the next year Well daddy called Al Jackson then Duck Dunn too Cropper showed up with his guitar Booker T was in the kitchen making Memphis stew Sam Cooke was working the bar Then came Carla Thomas looking for her tramp And I swear the next morning I saw Coming right down the chimney was Otis himself Yall dressed up like Santa claus Well daddy called some backing singers from Detroit They were dancing all over that room Don Covay said there aint doubt about it Little Miltons gonna turn up soon Outside the snow is deep and crisp and even And a poor man struggled to the door And standing right there singing songs of deliverance Was Al Green with a full gospel choir Everybody said this was better than jingle bells When Junior Walker blew on his sax They turned a middle class home out in suburbia into a chicken shack But the one big question on everybodys lips Was where is the Queen Of Soul? Is the sweet momma gonna grace us with her presence Hey, when is Aretha gonna show? We got a soul Christmas, we got a soul Christmas And were gonna rock right through the whole of the new year...
