  • Doo doo-doo-doo doo doo doo doo
    Doo doo doo-doo-doo doo doo

    December will be magic again
    Take a husky to the ice
    While Bing Crosby sings White Christmas
    He makes you feel nice
    December will be magic again
    Old Saint Nicholas up the chimney
    Just a-popping up in my memory

    Ooh, dropping down in my parachute
    The white city, she is so beautiful
    Upon the black-soot icicled roofs
    Ooh, and see how I fall
    Ooh, see how I fall (doo doo-doo-doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)
    Like the snow

    Come to cover the lovers (cover the lovers)
    But don't you wake them up
    Come to sparkle the dark up (sparkle the dark up)
    With just a touch of make-up, ah
    Come to cover the muck up (cover the muck up)
    Ooh, with a little luck

    December will be magic again
    Light the candlelights
    To conjure Mr. Wilde
    Into the Silent Night
    Ooh, it's quiet inside
    Here in Oscar's mind

    December will be magic again
    Don't miss the brightest star
    Kiss under mistletoe
    I want to hear you laugh
    Don't let the mystery go now

    Ooh, dropping down in my parachute
    The white city, she is so beautiful
    Upon the black soot-icicled roofs
    Ooh, and see how I fall
    Ooh, see how I fall (doo doo-doo-doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo) (ohm)
    Ooh, see how I fall (doo doo-doo-doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo) (ohm)
    Ooh, see how I fall (doo doo-doo) (like the snow) (ohm)
    Like the snow

    Come to cover the lovers (cover the lovers)
    But don't you wake them up
    Come to sparkle the dark up (sparkle the dark up)
    With just a touch of make-up, ah
    Come to cover the muck up (cover the muck up)
    Ooh, with a little luck

    Come to cover the lovers (cover the lovers)
    But don't you wake them up
    Come to sparkle the dark up
    Come to cover the lovers
    Ooh, I'm coming to sparkle the dark up
    Come to cover the lovers
    Ooh, I'm coming to cover the dark up
    And I'm coming to sparkle the dark up Writer/s: Catherine Bush
