[Verse 1]
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree for me, baby... [Scatting]
Ooh, Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
Baby, in my dreams
Ooh baby, dreams, oh dreams
Oh, sweet dreams...

[Instrumental break]
[Scatting]

[Verse 2]
I'll be home for Christmas, so darling
You can count on me
Please have some grits, some black eyed peas
And a cup of milk for you and for me
Oh, Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
Ooh, I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
Only in my dreams
If only, only in my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams...
