Lyrics

CALIFORNIA CHRISTMAS by Jim Beggs © 1979, 2011 Jim Beggs

INTRO (spoken):
Christmas time is a special time
No matter where you are
But people in the Golden State
See a different Christmas star

VERSE 1:
The weather is nice and warm
There's no chance of a storm
Snow is up on the mountaintops
Doing nobody harm

PRE-CHORUS 1:
Still I can't deny
I love Christmastime
(Spoken): Snow on the ground may not be found
(Spoken): But White Christmas lives in my mind

CHORUS 1:
When Santa comes by
He'll be surfing the sky
California Christmas, California Christmas
A skateboard in his hand
Here comes Santa, nicely tanned
California Christmas time is here
California Christmas again this year

VERSE 2:
When folks who live back East
Prepare their Christmas feast
There's lots of lovin'
Pie in the oven
(Spoken): And the snow will never cease!

VERSE 3:
And at Christmastime up north
If you dare to venture forth
Snowy scenes are nice
Skaters on ice
(Spoken): But you'd better dress for warmth!
You'd better dress for warmth!

PRE-CHORUS 2:
Still I can't deny
I love Christmastime
(Spoken): Snow on the ground may not be found
(Spoken): But White Christmas lives in my mind
(Spoken): White Christmas lives in my mind

CHORUS 2:
When Santa comes by
He'll be surfing the sky
California Christmas, California Christmas
A skateboard in his hand
Here comes Santa, nicely tanned
California Christmas time is here
California Christmas again this year

CHORUS 3:
When Santa hits the skies
He'll have shades on his eyes
California Christmas, California Christmas
In his rocket-powered sleigh
Santa soars above L.A.
California Christmas time is here
California Christmas again this year

ENDING:
California Christmas time is here
California Christmas again this year
California Christmas time is here
