Tomten kommer snart, bara ögon tindrar.
O va vi längtar efter julen, ja va vi längtar efter julen.
Snö som faller o gör marken vit.
Snart e julen här igen, god jul önskas var o en.
Vi går ut på stan, köper julegran, som vi sedan ska klä tillsammans.
De e bråttom, innan doppare dan.
O va vi längtar efter julen, ja va vi längtar efter julen.
Tomten kommer snart, bara ögon tindrar.
O va vi längtar efter julen, ja va vi längtar efter julen.
Snö som faller o gör marken vit.
Stjärnor tänder sina ljus, över varje hem o hus.
De e juletid o råder frid, alla barnen har varit snälla.
Önskelistan har du skickat i tid.
O va vi längtar efter julen, ja va vi längtar efter julen.
Tomten kommer snart, bara ögon tindrar.
O va vi längtar efter julen, ja va vi längtar efter julen.
Snö som faller o gör marken vit.
O gör marken vit.
O gör marken vit.
