Lyrics
Kids: Christmastime Oh, Christmastime
Oh Welcome all to the tinsel and the lights
George: Oh, Christmastime It's Christmas Eve
Merry Christmas to you
Grandpa George and Dad Carrot: And to you a good night.
Laura Carrot: Hi, Dad!
Dad Carrot: Hi, Honey. I'm almost finshed.
Laura Carrot: We're finally gonna go buy our christmas tree.
Junior Asparagus: Hey guys! Look at this.
(Junior shows Laura, Annie and Percy a gold coin)
Laura, Annie, and Percy: Oooh.
Junior: Well, I wonder what I'm gonna get for Christmas.
Every light that shines reminds me of a toy.
Got a new gold penny. And I wanna spend it.
Every Click and Clock and knickerbocker makes me want one more!
On to the Store!
(Bob is strapping lights on the Christmas Tree)
Bob: Well, I wonder what I'll get to give at Christmas.
Larry: Every bell that rings sings give my love away.
Jimmy: Oh my heart is warming with my friends before me.
Larry and Jimmy: On the nicest kindest, Christmas-light shiniest givingest of days!
Bob, Larry, and Jimmy: Give love away!
Mr. Nezzer: I already gave.
Everyone: Glo-ooooo-ooooo-ooooo-oria (x2)
Dad Carrot: A smile on every face! A slower, simpler pace.
A spirit we embrace with tidings full of cheer.
We give a helping hand to every fellow man.
Just try, you'll see you can make every difference here.
Everyone: In Excelsis Deo!
Jimmy: Looking good, guys.
Larry: Thanks, Jimmy.
Bob: How's the collection coming?
Jimmy: Ha. We're getting plenty of food to share with the less fortunate.
(Kids laughing; a snowball tries to hit Jimmy but he misses and it hits Bob instead)
Junior: Hey, Jimmy.
Jimmy: Hey, Junior. What's up?
Junior: It's the most exciting night before the most exciting day of the year! Santa, Gifts, Reindeer. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!
Annie: Me too.
Percy Pea: Me three.
Larry: Whatcha guys doing?
Everyone: Glo-ooooo-ooooo-ooooo-oria. In Excelsis Deo! (singing while Junior talks to Larry)
Junior: Every Christmas Eve, my grandparents give me a gold coin. And I'm allowed to spend it on whatever I want. There's too much to choose from! And I don't even know what Santa's bringing me!
Well, I hope it's gonna be a happy Christmas. (Everyone: Ding-dong ding-dong.)
I hope I feel the way I feel tonight. (Everyone: Ding-dong Ding-dong.)
With my gifts around me, Will I be astounded?
Will it be the neatest, merriest, greatest best of Christmas days?
Ladies: Best of Christmas Days?
Everyone: Oh, We hope it's gonna be a happy Christmas. (Junior: I wonder what I'm gonna get for Christmas.)
We hope we feel the way we feel tonight! (Junior: Every light that shines reminds me of a toy.)
With all our friends around us (Junior: Can't wait!)
Will we be astounded? (Junior: This day!)
Will it be the neatest, merriest, greatest best of Christmas days?
Junior: I can hardly wait!
Everyone: We can hardly wait! (We can hardly wait!) We can hardly wait!
