Johnny:
Yearly, I climb a shaky ladder
Nearly collapsing in a heap
I'm scaling these heights again
And nailing these lights again
My house has a tradition
I want for it to keep
Brightly shining, shining brightly
Such a fine and festive sight
Gleaming here all twinkle-lighty
Warming up the winter night
Warming up the winter night
Basil:
Ha ha ha. Aw, guys. This is gonna be the best present ever.
Lily:
Choosing the brightest shells and berries
Ginger:
Using the reddest vines for string
Basil:
We're searching and skittering
Basil and Root:
To find stuff that's glittering
Sprites:
To make the very prettiest present we could bring
Brightly shining, shining brightly
Leaves and flowers everywhere
Sprites must give a gift that's spritely
One that shows how much we care.

Johnny:
I will treasure this perfect present forever
It's the very best anyone could deliver
'Cause what really counts
Is not what's inside the gift
It's what's inside the giver
Johnny and the Sprites:
Brightly shining, decorating
Gold and silver, red and green
Johnny:
And tonight we're celebrating
Johnny and the Sprites:
What those shining colors mean
Brightly shining, shining brightly
Gifts that are a token of
What we feel not just one-nightly
Our friendship, our love
Let us share them day and nightly
Our friendship, our love.
