Och gör på rutan små kristaller som reflekterar mina ljus
O min gran står färdigklädd varje sak e förberedd
Jag har till och med haft tid att posta alla julkorten
O Bing Crosby sjunger om en dröm vit jul
Allt som saknas här just nu e du
O allt ser ut precis som jag drömt om som ett julkort ifrån förr
Allt e pyntat givetvis o de sprakar i min spis
Jag har till och med haft tid att packa alla klapparna
O Bing Crosby sjunger om en dröm vit jul
Allt som saknas här just nu e du
Jag ser i tomteblossets gnista en trollstav o en fe
Men på min gömda önskelista står någonting hon ej kan ge
Men om någon knackar på har jag dukat fram för två
Jag har till och med haft tid att hänga mistlar överallt
O Bing Crosby sjunger om en dröm vit jul
Allt som saknas här just nu e du
O Bing Crosby sjunger om en dröm vit jul
Allt som saknas här just nu e du
