It's Christmas in California Where the redwoods been burning for days While the gold embers glow over Sacramento They say we're getting snow in LA Oh, they're hanging the tinsel in Times Square And the traders down on Saint Mark's Place No one answers their door for carolers in New York But hey, we're getting snow in LA So Holy, Holy Christmas Day Holy, Holy, come what may And there's six feet of snow in the San Fernando Weighing heavy on every heart But there's hope under Bethlehem's star Oh, the children all lay awake hoping That maybe they'll hear Santa's sleigh But they know all too well 'bout the lies grown-ups tell Well, at least they'll get snow in LA So Holy, Holy Christmas Day Holy, Holy, come what may And there's six feet of snow in the San Fernando Weighing heavy on every heart But there's hope under Bethlehem's star
Oh, the church bells are ringing on Sunset But the preachers got nothing to say If it turns out we all just weren't worth dying for Well, at least we got snow in LA
