A Christmas Song (reprise) Lyrics
A Christmas Song (reprise)
[JOVIE]Just sing a Christmas song,
It’s like magic if things go wrong.
Just spread some Christmas cheer
By singing loud for all to hear.
Come on, people! Get into it!
[BUDDY]
Jovie? You're here! I thought you were mad at me.
[JOVIE]
I was, but then you made it snow.
[JOVIE & BUDDY]
Just sing a Christmas song,
And keep on singing all season long.
Think of the joy you’ll bring
If you just close your eyes and sing.
[JOVIE, BUDDY & EMILY]
Just sing a Christmas song,
It’s like magic if things go wrong.
[JOVIE, BUDDY, EMILY & MICHAEL]
Just spread some Christmas cheer
By singing loud for all to hear.
[WALTER]
Just sing a Christmas song,
And keep on singing all season long.
[JOVIE, BUDDY, EMILY, MICHAEL & WALTER]
Think of the joy you’ll bring
If you just close your eyes and sing.
[ENSEMBLE]
And if you’re short on cheer,
Think about that year
You woke up to find a brand-new snow had fallen.
The ornaments you made
Way back in second grade.
[MICHAEL & WALTER]
Untangling the Christmas lights
Took your father several nights.
[JOVIE & EMILY]
Your mother claimed that she had proof
There were reindeer on the roof.
[WALTER, EMILY & MICHAEL]
Remember who you were back then,
Let those moments live again.
[JOVIE & BUDDY]
Let those moments live again.
[BUDDY, JOVIE & THE HOBBS]
Just sing a Christmas song,
It’s like magic if things go wrong.
Just spread some Christmas cheer
By singing loud for all to hear.
[ALL]
Just sing a Christmas song,
And keep on singing all season long.
[SANTA]
You did it, Buddy! You saved Christmas.
Hey! You wanna ride back to the North Pole?
[BUDDY]
No, thanks, Santa. I’m happy right here.
[ALL]
Think of the joy you’ll bring
If you just close your eyes,
If you just close your eyes,
If you just close your eyes…
[SANTA]
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
[ALL]
And sing!!
[SANTA]
And that’s it. That’s the end of our story. Well, not quite the end.
There is one last, little chapter...
[SANTA]
Buddy stayed in New York City,
Settling in with his new family.
He brought Christmas cheer to everyone he met,
Not just in December, but all year round.
As for Walter, well...
[WALTER]
I learned to slow down and appreciate the things that matter.
Turns out, family isn’t just part of the story—it’s the heart of it.
[JOVIE]
Buddy and I?
Let’s just say there’s no one better to spend Christmas with.
[MICHAEL]
And thanks to Buddy, Christmas feels magical again.
[SANTA]
So, while Buddy didn’t return to the North Pole,
His story reminds us all of something important.
Christmas isn’t about where you are,
It’s about the people you’re with.
And with that, we say…
[ALL]
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
