TV Version[]
Buddy: There's a saying we have up north,
That helps us put our best foot forth.
if you want to deck the halls for Mr. C,
Make sure they're Sparklejollytwinklejingley...
Michael: What's that supposed to mean?
Buddy: When a room is gloomy, and it's 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 Sparklejollytwinklejingley.
Pick up every ornament that's sitting, waiting on a shelf.
While your busy decorating, why not decorate yourself?
Soon you'll bring a smile to every person you see...
Emily: I'm sparkleytwinklejolly...what?
Buddy: Close enough.
And if at a loss, remember the phrase,
That says, "to thine own elf be true"!
Michael: (To thine own elf be true!)
Buddy: For when it comes to Christmas displays,
Look inside, and you'll know what to do!
Michael: (You'll know just what to do!)
All: Put some cheery folderol on ev'ry wall and ev'ry nook.
Tinsel up each corner til' it's Christmas ev'ry where you look.
Give the world a holiday that's bright as can be...
Make it Sparklejollytwinklejingle,
Shinyshowycheerykrinkle,
Razzledazzleringalingle,
Buddy: I can't lie, it makes me tinkle!
All: Sparklejollytwinklejingley!
