REVIEW OF TODRICK HALL'S "BELLS, BOWS, GIFTS, TREES" SONG & ITS OFFICIAL VIDEO
From https://instinctmagazine.com/todrick-halls-bells-bows-gifts-trees-will-make-your-holi-slay/  "Todrick Hall’s ‘Bells Bows Gifts Trees’ Will Make Your Holi-Slay"; December 3, 2020 by Michael Cook
"Sleigh what!? Todrick Hall has reworked his now legendary track ‘Nails Hair Hips Heels’ for the holidays, serving up a brand new version titled “Bells Bows Gifts Trees” that is sure to help get us through a holiday season like we’ve never seen before. The accompanying video shows Hall and his legion of background dancers (including an out of drag Cake Moss) once again, in a warehouse. Garbed in vibrant red leather gloves and with a massive neon-green Christmas tree in the background, Hall hits every mark to pitch-perfect lyrics like “and then I trim the tree, it’s The Three Wise Men for me, Home Alone is on tv…Throughout the track there are faint sounds of jingling holiday bells and gift wrap tearing, adding to the holiday splendor and vibe of the track. "...

Of course, this is not the first time Todrick has put a new (and timely) spin on the pulsing track that made us all stomp the runway the moment it was released early in 2019. As the pandemic took hold this past summer, those very same dance floors were cleared, Hall dropped an entire EP exclusively of pandemic-related tracks (the aptly titled Quarantine Queen). The EP included a rework of ‘Nails Hair Hips Heels’ titled ‘Masks Gloves Soap Scrubs’ (with an accompanying video with guests including Tiffany Haddish, Kandi Burruss, Amber Riley & Peppermint).

LYRICS - BELLS, BOWS, GIFTS, TREES
(written by Jean-Yves “Jeeve” Ducornet & Todrick Hall)

[Verse 1]
Bells, bows, gifts, trees
Snowmen, snow ski
Squeezin' down chimneys
Santa's thiccc, three Cs
Ice skates, cold mist
Mistletoe, get kissed
No mask? Naughty list
Whoville, who dis?
Rum-pa-pum-pum, get an ugly sweater
Sugar plum plum, this is Yuletide weather
All the reindeer and the sleigh is loaded
All I want for Christmas is a cure for COVID

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, what did that girl just say, girl?
Ooh girl, I don't dance, I prance (Prance)
I don't sled, I slay (Slay)
I don't stop, I shop, shop, shop till Christmas Day (Okay)
And then I trim the tree (Yep)
It's the three wise men for me (That's right)
Home Alone is on TV (Vee)
So I might let you see (What you gonna let them see?)

[Chorus]
My bells, bows, gifts, trees
Bells, bows, gifts, trees
Bells, bows, gifts, trees
Bells, bows, gifts, trees (Aah!)

My bells, bows, gifts, trees
Bells, bows, gifts, trees
Bells, bows, gifts, trees
Bells, bows, gifts, trees

[Verse 2]
Saint Nick, coat puffed
Mrs Claus, skirt fluffed
Singin' carols, hands muffed
Milk, cookies, I'm stuffed
Lights up, let's cruise
Card maxed, mom's booze
Teddy bear, it's huge
Trump is the new Scrooge
Fa-la-la-la, go be gay and merry
Get that eggnog, gingerbread, cranberry
Ratty rat king and a dewdrop fairy
Alexa, play Mariah Carey

Girl, what did that girl just say, girl?
Ooh girl, I don't dance, I prance (Prance)
I don't sled, I slay (Slay) 
I don't stop, I shop, shop, shop till Christmas Day (Okay)
And then I trim the tree (Yep) 
It's the Yule log for me (That's right) 
Charlie Brown is on TV 
(Tee Vee) 
So I might let you see (What you gonna let them see?)

[Chorus]
My bells, bows, gifts, trees
Bells, bows, gifts, trees
Bells, bows, gifts, trees
Bells, bows, gifts, trees (Aah!)

My bells, bows, gifts, trees
Bells, bows, gifts, trees
Bells, bows, gifts, trees
Bells, bows, gifts, trees

[Break]
Alright, Christmas queens, y'all know what time it is, come on
Hang up all of your decor, hang up all of your decor
Now I want you to get your tinsel, get your stockings, get your lights, get your wreaths
'Cause I don't want to see you dance
I want to see you prance, come on

[Bridge]

Shop for me, shop for me, shop
Shop for me, shop for me, shop
Shop for me, shop for me, shop
Shop for me, shop for me, shop

Tongue pop for me, pop for me (Pop)
Tongue pop for me, pop for me (Pop)
Tongue pop for me, pop for me (Pop)
