Hot Chocolate
Tyler The Creator [feat. Jerry Paper] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's gettin' cold, chocolate
Too warm, chocolate
It's too hot (Hot) , chocolate

Leche for my (Woo) damn self hot chocolate
You can use water hot chocolate
I prefer milk if it's 2%
Marshmallows on top and some extra whip
You can even use cinnamon, cinnamon on top
Hot chocolate

By the fire, I sip hot cocoa tonight
It makes me feel all right
It's Christmas time (Cocoa, cocoa)
Jigsaw puzzle with my buddies
Tonight is our big night
It's Christmas time (Cocoa, cocoa)

It gets cold in the winter
Cold in the wintertime
Cold that's my favorite
Cold that's my favorite time




It gets cold in the winter
Cold in the wintertime

Overall Meaning

Tyler The Creator's collaboration with Jerry Paper in "Hot Chocolate" is a jumbling of different moods, feelings, and recipes related to the titular drink. The song is a mix of irreverent humor and concise poetry that revolves around the singer's preference for a certain kind of hot chocolate.


The first verse of the song details how the singer wants his hot chocolate. He seems to be fickle - chocolate that is too cold or too hot is not acceptable for him. He likes his hot chocolate with leche and marshmallows on top, but he allows for different variations. The singer is a fan of the colder months, and the song is set during a winter night with a cozy fire. He says that drinking hot chocolate makes him feel alright, and the drink is a part of a tradition with his friends - doing jigsaw puzzles on Christmas Eve.


The chorus is a repetition of the phrase "It gets cold in the winter, cold in the wintertime." It is a simplistic line, but it emphasizes the importance of the season and how hot chocolate is an important part of it. The lyrics' repetition also adds a hypnotic effect that contrasts with the playful arrangement of the song.


Overall, "Hot Chocolate" is a bittersweet tribute to the winter season and the drink that warms anyone's heart. The song is a cheerful mix of the warmth that hot chocolate provides, the fun of the Christmas season, and the fleetingness of time.
