Lyrics: Harmattan Christmas By Jazzsari
Ding dong
Ding dong
I’m dreaming of a Harmattan Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the table tops go dusty and mornings,
So frosty,
So cold
Even though we have no snow.
I’m dreaming of a Harmattan Christmas,
With every Christmas, rice I plan,
May our Naija Christmas be merry and calm,
And may the coming years be soothing like a balm.
Interlude
I’m dreaming of a Harmattan Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where lips crack and feet are dusty,
While mornings are frosty and cold even though there is no snow.
Well I am dreaming of a Harmattan Christmas,
With every Christmas rice I plan
May Our Naija Christmas be merry and calm,
And may the coming years be soothing like a balm.
May the coming years be soothing, soothing like a balm.
