I dont know those cool parts in between, heres the words:

Well I flew to L.A. for the very fist time
and met Howie Cline & Semore Stien they said
"Wes, we do this christmas thing we got all the acts to sing"
I said "what you want a cover of winter wonderland or somthing"
they said "do what like" so this is called
talkin' goodwill christmas blues, this is how it goes
here it goes
well christmas comes but once a year
364 days to get your ass in gear
and, he's a sucker, he's a fool
the man who don't revier the yule
so this christmas is just me and you
and a large helping of sweet baby jesu
may all your christmases? be vary white
and your boxing days be out of site but,
spare a thought when you give a gift
for the people doing christmas shifts
cause christmas is a time for giving
like lifetime is a time for living, yea
well they say that money has taken over
and nobody wants a cheap lego or pull over
they say that when any bell rings
one of god's chrildren gets its wings, ding
talkin' of wings theres a sign in LA X
that says "495 shoping days til the christmas after next"
buy now cry later,
so deck your halls with missle toe
and save your cents and hope it snows,
and watch some old films on tv but don't nock over the christmas tree
or you'll be cleaning up pine needles in july
a universal truth unfortunatly, christmas hootin-nanny
(12-2 days of christmas)
and your apartment is in a big mess
and the a.s.b.c.a. is not to happy either
so Im behind the speakers over here
wishing you a hip-hop happy new year
a wicked christmas and the coolest yule if your by a fire
or in a swimming pool
John Wesley Hardings the name and this is the groove
he was never known to make a foolish move
watch out for the record when it hits the shelves
happy christmas enjoy your elves
