lyrics

eleven months out of the year
while Santa Claus is growing his beard
he practices his dance moves in a studio he shares
with a couple other dudes from the North Pole dancing crew
they watch in disbelief and ask "who taught you those moves?"
they call him December Man

a style rooted in ballet
but in a hip-hop kind of way
imagine breakdance meets the Nutcracker
never seen nobody move that way!
in a bright red leotard, moving fast and moving hard
people gather in a circle and ask "who do you think you are?"
he says "i'm December Man"

eating cookies and milk on break
wiping the sweat from off his face
tonight's the competition and he's coming in first place
the judges just can't believe
this guy's the freshest thing they've seen
they offer him the lead in the Christmas special
he says "i'm sorry but i have somewhere to be
that night i'm December Man"

that's why i'm December Man
tonight i'm December Man
call me December Man
