|
| I am Festus Claus, the son of Santa
|
| And I’ve got a thing for Frosty’s daughter
|
| Father says, «No way, because a month from now she’ll turn into a puddle of
|
| water
|
| This December love affair is doomed because of next month’s expiration date»
|
| We’re gonna leave here soon, 'cause I’m in love with her
|
| And I can hardly, I can hardly wait
|
| «Son, this kind of love was never meant to be
|
| It won’t survive the changing weather»
|
| Wynter Snowgirl, come and run away with me
|
| So we can always be together
|
| «NO!!! |
| If you leave… I'll be canceling Christmas this year!»

| Runaway Romance
|
| December 24
|
| New York City, 7 p. |
| m
|
| Something’s wrong here
|
| The city’s angry
|
| It’s Christmas Eve, but life is dull
|
| Just business as usual
|
| The crowded streets scream
|
| Without mercy
|
| They come and go, all work, no play
|
| Like any other day
|
| I can’t believe my father’s nerve
|
| He’s wiped it from the calendar
|
| And nobody remembers this is Christmas Eve (Humbug!)
|
| No making lists and checking twice
|
| No happy kids naughty and nice
|
| 'Cause somehow he’s erased it from their memory
|
| Kiss me under the mistletoe
|
| And we can break the spell of Father Christmas
|
| Jingle Bells on the radio
|
| So help another angel get his wings
|
| Close your eyes and I’ll be your star tonight
|
| Wynter stay, since Father Christmas took Christmas away
|
| Desperate times mean desperate measures
|
| There’s only one way out of this:
|
| A jolly elf-on-snowgirl kiss
|
| Santa’s workshop is full of treasures
|
| Tonight we’ve gotta get those toys to all the girls and boys
|
| I feel there’s something in the air
|
| From our forbidden love affair
|
| But they could never understand
|
| 'Cause true love lasts forever
|
| Twig in hand, just be my girl
|
| It’s you and me against the world
|
| So come with me, and we can save the day together
|
| Kiss me under the mistletoe
|
| And we can break the spell of Father Christmas
|
| Jingle Bells on the radio
|
| So help another angel get his wings
|
| Close your eyes and I’ll be your star tonight
|
| Wynter stay, since Father Christmas took Christmas away
|
| Christmas, Christmas, where is Christmas?
|
| No more sugarplums are dancing in dreams
|
| No more stockings hung in holiday scenes
|
| No more reindeer pulling sleighs in the snow
|
| No more children with their faces aglow
|
| Life goes on, but Christmas is nowhere to be found
|
| There’s no magic in the air
|
| The people shiver in the cold
|
| And their hearts are as freezing as the snow

|
| «Son, you’d better stay away from that little ho ho ho
|
| You know I saw you kiss her under the mistletoe
|
| But if you think that that’s enough to break the spell I cast
|
| Then boy there’s something you oughta know»
|
| Dad, you can’t accept the fact that Wynter’s the girl for me
|
| I’m old enough to know the ways of the family
|
| Now you’ll deny it, 'cause you try to keep it quiet
|
| But I know you’ve always hated the people of the snow
|
| «That's a lie and you know it!»
|
| No it’s not!
|
| «Then go ahead and you prove it!»
|
| At Thanksgiving you said that thing that time after you had a couple glasses of
|
| wine
|
| «Hey hey hey now, listen son, I’m telling you that’s not what it’s all about»
|
| Well, what’s the problem then? |
| 'Cause we’re going out!
|
| «I'm not gonna let my son be ruined by some ice queen of her kind»
|
| Come on, quit it, just admit it
|
| Stop denying it, I’ve had enough
|
| Snowgirl crazy, elf-boy hazy
|
| Ain’t no thinking maybe, we’re in love

|
| «You can’t get away from me!
|
| But I ain’t gonna hurt ya
|
| Got a Christmas present for you, my dear»
|
| You’d better stay away from her!
|
| 'Cause I don’t wanna fight ya
|
| But I’ll do what I have to not to let you near her
|
| Run Wynter, run away
|
| You’ve gotta make it to the sleigh
|
| It’s almost Christmas day
|
| So run Wynter, run Wynter, run Wynter, run Wynter, RUN!
|
| Dad, wait a minute… what are you doing with that hairdryer?

| New York City, 9:13 p. |
| m
|
| And my Wynter slowly melts away
|
| Love and innocence have died today

| To stop my father’s hairdryer |
| Rest in peace, my love
|
| Goodbye

| VI: Egg Nog Blues and a Chance Meeting
|
| December 24
|
| New York City, 11 p. |
| m
|
| Ain’t got a lot of reason for dreaming
|
| Now that Wynter’s gone away
|
| Tonight just doesn’t have any meaning
|
| Now that Wynter’s gone away
|
| So pour me another egg nog, mister
|
| To forget yesterday
|
| I tried to save Christmas when I kissed her
|
| But Wynter’s gone
|
| My Wynter’s gone away
|
| Hey kid
|
| Yeah, who are you?
|
| I used to work with your daddy
|
| I was one of his head elves once upon a time
|
| But that was a long time ago
|
| Before he started losing his mind
|
| Hey, I’m sorry about your woman
|
| But you know, true love really can save Christmas… if it’s unconditional love,
|
| that is
|
| So there might still be a way…
|
| VII: Second Chances
|
| December 24
|
| New York City, 11:21 p. |
| m
|
| I know you thought that everything was hopeless, but not so fast
|
| Just pour what’s left of your girlfriend in a glass
|
| But hurry to her before she winds up in the sewer
|
| She’s a puddle and she ain’t gonna last
|
| Wynter can you hear me? |
| This is Festus, I missed you so
|
| I’ll be your hero, you’re my princess of the snow
|
| We’re back in business, there’s still time for saving Christmas
|
| So I’m gonna take you with me, hold on 'cause here we go!
|
| I’ve got your twigs and your carrot (and your coal)
|
| My father just has to grin and bear it
|
| Rudolph, Vixen, Donner, Blitzen, Dasher, Dancer, lock and load!
|
| We said that love could break Santa’s spell, and we were right
|
| It’s unconditional and pure as the light
|
| The curse could never last, it was a test and now we passed it
|
| Saddle up, because we’ve got a lot of presents to deliver tonight
|
| VIII: Glass of Wynter
|
| December 24
|
| The skies over New York City, 11:49 p. |
| m
|
| To ride the skies in the sleigh we go
|
| And finally the spell is breaking
|
| Christmas lights on the streets below
|
| All the people waking up
|
| Up, up and away we go
|
| There’s a magic in the air
|
| Christmas spirit everywhere
|
| One hand holding the reindeer reins
|
| While the other holds my glass of Wynter
|
| Love by any other name
|
| And I swear that I’ll defend her
|
| Ice or liquid, it’s all the same
|
| 'Cause you’re the only one for me
|
| You may be just a carrot stuck in a glass of water
|
| But I know that you’re still Frosty’s daughter
|
| And I’ll see you again next year
|
| Wynter Snowgirl, I’ll see you next year |
