[INTRO: whispered, fire crackling] Mmm... okay. Nobody move. I’m carrying a ham, a turkey, AND~~~ a lamb in here. Food baby’s got a food baby. [VERSE 1] Ham on the table, turkey too, Lamb and pork and chicken, we ate it all, we’re through Roast spuds crispy, veggies on the side, Drippin’ sleazy gravy, I wore it with pride Belts are undone, buttons are tight, Three Silverleafs sprawled in the firelight Ossir’s got that look, Tazar’s licking his thumb, Now the real dessert is about to come... [PRE-CHORUS] Grab the end, boys, hold it tight, Don’t be shy, it’s Winterscrest night Close your eyes and give a little tug, Something’s gonna go off... (come on, give me a hug!) [CHORUS] Snap it open, snap it open, Ooh, what’s inside? Ooh, what’s inside? Pull it harder, pull it harder, Oh, I like it when you’re not so shy! Paper crown on my head, I’m the queen of this room, Little toy, little joke, and a whole lotta boom, Snap it open, snap it open... SNAP! [SPOKEN BREAK 1] (Mephala, sweetly, leaning toward Ossir) Ossir. Ossir, baby brother. How can you tell if a Winterscrest present is actually a mimic? (beat) ...It’s the gift that keeps on biting. [SPOKEN BREAK 2] (turning to Tazar, batting her lashes) Tazar, Tazar, okay okay, what’s the Raven Queen’s favorite part of the holiday? (beat) The ghost of Winterscrest past... Ooh, you felt that one! [VERSE 2: half-rapped, Becky G style] Got a plastic little ring, doesn’t fit, but I’m wearin’ it, Got a tiny little comb that I’m definitely not sharin’ it, Tazar’s got the whistle and he’s blowin’ it wrong, Ossir’s got the puzzle and it’s taking him too long, Mama said be good, but we’re good at being bad, Best seat by the fire, best fam I ever had, Crack another cracker, shake it side to side, Winterscrest’s a vibe and we’re all along for the ride! [CHORUS] Snap it open, snap it open, Ooh, what’s inside? Ooh, what’s inside? Pull it harder, pull it harder, Oh, I like it when you’re not so shy! Paper crown on my head, I’m the queen of this room, Little toy, little joke, and a whole lotta boom, Snap it open, snap it open... SNAP! [SPOKEN BREAK 3] (Mephala, gasping, tugging both their sleeves) Wait wait wait, why did the Nightmare in Ivory get kicked out of the ice sculpting contest? (beat) She kept giving everyone the cold shoulder. ...Don’t look at me like that? I didn’t write ’em! [SPOKEN BREAK 4] Okay okay, Ossir, why do the crownsguards hate working the Winterscrest festival? (beat) Too many subordinate clauses running around! ...Tazar? you’re not laughing? Tazar, laugh!!! [BRIDGE: softer, Ariana whistle-note runs] Ooh, fire’s low, and the wine is warm, Three little Silverleafs, safe from the storm, Full of gravy, full of cheer, Naughty list’s the place to be this time of year... [SPOKEN BREAK 5] (whispering, eyes wide, like it’s a secret) What do the local druids sing during the solstice? (beat) “Bark! The Herald Angels Sing.” [Male Voice] “Get out.” [SPOKEN BREAK 6] And the last one, the LAST one, I promise: why did the dwarf throw his Winterscrest coin into the hearth? (beat) He wanted to make some cold, hard cash! ...mwah! I’m so good at this. [KEY CHANGE: FINAL CHORUS, full stacked harmonies, Gaga-style belt] SNAP it open, SNAP it open, Ooh, what’s inside? Ooh, what’s inside? Pull it harder, pull it harder, Oh, we’re doing this ALL night! Paper crowns, full bellies, naughty grins by the flame, Silverleaf Winterscrest, nobody’s the same, SNAP it open, SNAP it open... [OUTRO: spoken, breathless, giggling] Okay... okay. Whose turn is it? Ossir, give me your end. ...Gently. SNAP!
