[INTRO – stomps, claps, sleigh bells, gang “HEY!”] (Spoken, grinning) Ready? One, two, three, four! [VERSE 1] Snow stuck thick on the cobblestone Fairy lights buzzing like a broken phone Shop doors locked but the band’s still loud We turned this little road into a crowd Kids chase sparks from a sparkler glow Someone slips, laughing, in the snow You grab my sleeve, say “Don’t you dare Stand still when there’s magic in the air” [PRE-CHORUS] Kick the slush off your boots in time Let the bells ring out that rhyme If you feel that rhythm bite Clap your hands and shout tonight [CHORUS – big gang vocals] It’s Christmas on our street tonight Stomp-stomp, clap-clap, feeling alright Jingle, jangle, left and right Everybody sing, “It’s Christmas night!” It’s Christmas on our street tonight Cold outside but the hearts burn bright If you’re breathing, you’re invited, right? Everybody sing, “It’s Christmas night!” [VERSE 2] Grandma’s crown made of silver tin Grandad’s coat can’t quite do up again Dog’s gone wild for the wrapping string Neighbours at the window joining in Radio stuck on a crackly tune We don’t care if it’s out of tune We got boots and bells and a beat that’s tight We’ll shake this year out by midnight [PRE-CHORUS 2] Throw your worries in the snow Watch them melt in the streetlight glow If your heart still feels too tight Sing this line with all your might [CHORUS] It’s Christmas on our street tonight Stomp-stomp, clap-clap, feeling alright Jingle, jangle, left and right Everybody sing, “It’s Christmas night!” It’s Christmas on our street tonight Cold outside but the hearts burn bright If you’re breathing, you’re invited, right? Everybody sing, “It’s Christmas night!” [BRIDGE – half-time, big bells, easy hook] Whoa-oh, let the snow come down Whoa-oh, light up this small town Whoa-oh, let the old year go We got one last night in the glow [FINAL CHORUS – optional key change, extra ad-libs] It’s Christmas on our street tonight Stomp-stomp, clap-clap, feeling alright Jingle, jangle, left and right Everybody sing, “It’s Christmas night!” It’s Christmas on our street tonight Cold outside but the hearts burn bright If you’re breathing, you’re invited, right? Everybody sing, “It’s Christmas night!” [OUTRO – band vamp on chorus hook, fade on gang “It’s Christmas night!”]
