Sparkleyjollytwinklejingley Arr. Andy Beck There's a saying we have up north that helps us put our best foot forth: "If you want to deck the halls for Mister C., make sure they're sparkle-jolly-twinkle-jin-gle-y!"

When a room is gloomy and its atmosphere has called it quits, then you must remember that December is a time for glitz. Never stop until each limb on your Christmas tree is sparkle-jolly-twinkle-jingley!

Pick up ev'ry ornament that's sitting, waiting on a shelf While you're busy decorating, why not decorate yourself? Soon you'll bring a smile to ev'ry person you see. (solo): I'm sparkle-twinkle-jolly what? (all): Close enough!

And if you're at a loss remember the phrase that says, "To thine own elf be true (to thine own elf be true)" for when it comes to Christmas displays, Look inside, and you'll know what to do. (you'll know just what to do.)

Put some cheery folderol on ev'ry wall and ev'ry nook Put some cheery folderol on ev'ry wall and ev'ry nook. Tinsel up each corner till it's Christmas ev'rywhere you look. Give the world a holiday that's bright as can be. Make it sparkle-jolly-twinkle-jingley!

Wah, wah wah wah wah.

Jolly old Saint Nicholas Lean your ear this way Don't you tell a single soul What I'm going to say Christmas Eve is coming soon Now, you dear old man Whisper what you'll bring to me Tell me if you can

All the stockings you will find hanging in a row Mine will be the shortest one You’ll be sure to know.

Deck the hall with boughs of holly Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la 'Tis the season to be jolly Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la Don we now our gay apparel Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Up on the housetop, reindeer pause Out jumps good ol' Santa Claus Down through the chimney with lots of toys All for the little ones, Christmas joys Ho, Ho, Ho! Who wouldn't go? Ho, Ho, Ho! Who wouldn't go? Up on the housetop, click, click, click Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick

Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh O’er the fields we go laughing all the way. Bells on bob-tail ring making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight. Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh

We wish you a Merry Christmas We wish you a Merry Christmas We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Good tidings we bring to you and your kin We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and a Happy New (year)
