A Boy Like That - I Have The Love

Buddy: Merry Christmas everybody!
I’m singing!
I’m at the North Pole and I’m singing!
I’ve got a wife and I’m singing!
And we did a special kind of hug I’ve never heard about before and when it was
over I was singing
And now we’ve got a kid so I’m singing!
Walter: (spoken) Shhh!
Buddy, you’ll wake the baby.
Jovie: (spoken) It’s ok papa Hobbs.
The baby loves Buddy’s singing.
Buddy: All I have to do is sing to stop a string of sleepy sobs
Buddy and Jovie: Cause nobody likes a Christmas song like little Buddy Hobbs
And that’s why his middle name just happens to be
Sparklejollytwinklejingley
Emily and Michael: Now we spend each Christmas here
Dressed up in North Pole festive wear
Buddy: And my son has Jovie’s eyes
Jovie: And Buddy’s bright, red curly hair
Walter: But you’ll find that Buddy Jr. takes after me
I’m Sparklejollytwinklejingley
Emily: No you’re not
Walter: Yes I am
Emily: No you’re not
Walter: Yes I am
Emily: No you’re not
Walter: Yes I am
Santa: And when the baby’s grown
He’ll ride on my sleigh
Buddy and Santa: And they’ll deliver gifts galore
Walter: We’ll teach him Christmas never gets in the way
Buddy: Guess who’s at the front door?
(Dance Break)
All: Santa!
Everything seems better with our friends and family intertwined
And we know a happy ending isn’t very hardy-har
Once we’ve turned the world into a big family
We’ll be
Buddy: Sparkle
Jovie: Jolly
Santa: Twinkle
Walter: Jingle
Emily: Shiny
Michael: Showy
Elf #1: Cheery
Elf #2: Kringle
Elf #3: Razzle
Elf #4: Dazzle
Elf #5: Ring-a-lingle
Macy’s Manager: I can’t lie it makes me tingle!
All: Sparklejollytwinklejingley!
