Ring-a-ding-ding, sleigh bells ring   Ice breaks on the concrete in the city street   Ring-a-ding-ding, sleigh bells ring   Taxicab movies in our heads and cigarettes   Oh, my word   Parker, will you take my hand?   Parker, will you take my hand?   It's Christmas time            Bridges close down on the L - I - E   Tiny lights fading out in Jersey City   Snow white room on the snow white clouds   Taxicabs disappear like keys in lost & found bins   Oh, my word   Parker, will you take my hand?   Parker, will you take my hand?   It's Christmas time            I wish you were here with me now   It's Christmas time   I wish you were here with me now   It's Christmas time            But it's summertime, summertime, summertime   But it's summertime, summertime, summertime   It's summertime
