Verse 1: [Softly, a solo voice reminiscent of a ballad] In San Francisco, the lights go high, Castro bells ring under rainbow sky. Harvey’s dream still lives and grows, With glitter on trees and tinsel in rows. Verse 2: [A more rhythmic, mid-tempo feel, with layered harmonies] Down in Wilton Manors, palm trees sway, Where Pride don’t stop on Christmas Day. It’s jingle and joy on Wilton Drive, The love is loud, and the spirit’s alive. Chorus: [Powerful and majestic, the full choir and instrumentation] It’s the gayest Christmas ever, From sea to shining sea, With family we’ve chosen, And lights on every tree. From the north down to the Keys, We celebrate in harmony— It’s a season made of pride and peace, Where everyone loves who they please! 🎄 Verse 3: [A more rhythmic, mid-tempo feel, with layered harmonies] In New York City, the snowflakes twirl, From the Village to Harlem, joy unfurls. Broadway queens and leather bears, All toasting life on frozen stairs. Verse 4: [A more rhythmic, mid-tempo feel, with layered harmonies] Palm Springs shines with desert grace, A drag queen leads the tree-lighting place. It’s hot in the sun but hearts feel cool, By the poolside bar and the tinsel-festooned stool. Chorus: [Powerful and majestic, the full choir and instrumentation] It’s the gayest Christmas ever, With sparkle, sass, and soul— From Provincetown to Castro nights, We’re dancing cheek to cheek in snow. In every town where pride is loud, We gather ’neath the mistle-crowd— Yes, love is wrapped in every bow, From sunny sands to ice and snow. Bridge [A more rhythmic, mid-tempo feel, with layered harmonies] In Provincetown, the wind may bite, But laughter warms the coldest night. With poetry, lights, and cider steam, We’re living out our Christmas dream. Final Chorus [Powerful and majestic, the full choir and instrumentation] It’s the gayest Christmas ever, Our flags and hearts held high, We’ve come so far, we’ve claimed our place, Beneath the same wide sky. With every laugh and every cheer, We prove that love belongs right here— It’s Christmas bold, it’s Christmas queer… And it’s the best one of the year!
