I've been looking at the rain and snow Wonderin' should I stay or should I go? This winter, leave it all behind 'Cause California, you've been on my mind I can picture myself Christmas morning on Sunset Boulevard Sittin' back, soakin' up the Sun This year, gonna have some fun I've been dreamin' of a California Christmas Every day you know the Sun is gonna shine We'll be havin' us a California Christmas Palm trees wavin' in the breeze Lots of presents for you and me Just imagine, it could be so cool Hangin' mistletoe by the pool There's a feelin' you get Christmas morning wherever you will be I'll be there walkin' in the sand Even Santa Claus will have a tan I've been dreamin' of a California Christmas Every day you know the Sun is gonna shine We'll be havin' us a California Christmas Now it's winter all around the world I been watchin' California girls When the snow is fallin' everywhere I'll be sniffin' that Pacific air When you open your eyes Christmas morning, there'll be a surprise Instead of Rudolph and the rest of the herd I'll see St. Nick drivin' a Thunderbird I've been dreamin' of a California Christmas Every day you know the Sun is gonna shine We'll be havin' us a California Christmas I've been dreamin' of a California Christmas Every day you know the Sun is gonna shine We'll be havin' us a California Christmas I've been dreamin' of a California Christmas
