Doop doop, doop doo doop
Doo doo
Doop doop, doop doo doop
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know,
Where those treetops glisten, and children listen,To hear sleigh bells in the snow, the snow
Then, I-I-I am dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write,
May your days, may your days, may your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white
I-I-I am dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know,
Where the treetops glisten, and children listen,
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I-I-I am dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write,
May those days, may your days, may your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells all the way ooo

Throughout the song, the singer continues to dream of this idealized version of Christmas, one where the days are merry and bright, and everything is covered in a blanket of snow. There is a yearning for a return to this simpler time, where things were more innocent and joyful.
