'Twas the night before Christmas and at the Hilton,
Delano stirred in anticipation.
The sound was wired in the ballroom with care,
in hopes that the masses soon would be there.

The younguns were pondering their latest threads,
while visions of a bashment danced in their heads;
and Avery at the door and Jazzy on stage,
had just settled in for one long escapade.

When out on the terrace arose such a clatter,
the chicks at the gate knew what was the matter.
Out of their chairs they flew in a flash,
"Mic Chik gwaan tru man..no need for cash!"

The lights all aglow on the packed dancefloor,
the free Red Stripe gave reason to drink more,
when what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but Wayne Marshall & Kurup coming quite near.

With weed in the air, so heavy and plenty,
I knew in a moment they must be with Bounty.
More rapid than bullets the hype vibes they came,
and Dre ranted and rave and called people name -

"Yow Bounty, yow Elly yow Beenie and Delly,
Yow Marshall, yow Sean, yow di man Wonder Wayney...
big up Whaddat, a dat mi log on,
now vibes up, vibes up, vibes up one and all!

Gun finger inna di air when wicked tune play,
and when DJ flop they come down right away,
but di selectah dem did play most ok,
with crates full a big tune, the gun fingers stayed.

And then, in a twinkling I heard on the mic,
Code Red will play for some of the night.
I drew my matterhorn, and was turning around,
when on stage came Superhype with a bound!

He was dressed in all red, from his head to his foot (not really),
and he brought every hype new tune in the book.
A cart full of records he flung on the stage,
and Rush took them out and spun them with rage.

The crowd - how they railed! Code Red did the trick
got them warm for Babiface's skit.
He came from T-Dot, land of ice & snow,
but didn't expect Bounty to take over the show.

The piece of chat that came out of Killa mouth!
He deejayed of Gwen - the chick from No Doubt.
His fire was aimed at "The Doctor" in-house,
who leaped on the stage with intention to douse...

"A you mi see with naked man inna video!"
The boo Beenie got was a definite throw!
No no said bounty and he alighted the stage
then Elly barged on in his usual way.

The females were scarce, guys filled the room,
but it mattered not, for the speakers - they boomed!
Bartenders filled the cups, the night never flopped!
Delano spoke not, through the night he watched.

Then sprang to his CRV, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all drove like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
"MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!"
