This December I remember a crystal chandelier Fell into my winter daydream chromatic atmosphere Of rum and ginger beer Light a candle on a Christmas tree Little Nico don't forget to leave a cookie Santa you've already given me This December, this December, this December This December I remember to hang the mistletoe Chimney spires stoke desires in a neon afterglow Jingle bells in stereo Light a candle on a Christmas tree Little Nico don't forget to leave a cookie Santa you've already given me You've given me, you've given me whoa Candy canes on peppermint of spirals Light the lawn with tinsel Sugar plums and shopping malls and Bubble balls of technicolor Frosty fruitcake fantasy Rudolph grinning in my dreams Misty crimson laser beams and overflowing stockings filled with This December, This December, This December This December I remember the gift of family Saw two snowflakes on the window Only we could see Among the floating leaves Light a candle on a Christmas tree Little Nico don't forget to leave a cookie Santa you've already given me Light a candle Little Nico But everybody knows That it never snows in San Francisco All we've got is fog, depressing dark and cold Everybody knows That it never snows in San Francisco All we've got is rain and fog along the coast Except for this December, This December, This December
