Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's Christmas in the USA
Come on and jingle my bells
It's Christmas in the USA
It won't be long till we're
Wakin' up on Christmas day
Go shoppin' in the mornin'
I can't afford the tinsel
But that's all right with me
The weather's lookin' snowy
So Santa won't be late
If you be good I know he should be
Flyin' through your gate
Jingle my bells'Jingle my bells
Jingle my bells cause it's Christmas in the USA
Jingle my bells
It's Christmas in the USA
Come on and jingle my bells
It's Christmas in the USA
It won't be long till we're
Wakin' up on Christmas day
I thought I saw a reindeer
Comin' down the road
You won't believe the snowman
Knockin' at my door
There's elves in my basement
I hear 'em all the time
If Santa don't come pretty soon
I'm gonna lose my mind
Jingle my bells'Jingle my bells
Jingle my bells cause it's Christmas in the USA
