Whatever.

Try to remember the specific moment...

the exact second when you knew

that you were really in love.

Not a time or a date or a trip.

But the instant that you knew for sure

you were in love.

And then what?

And then sing about it.

To you?

To each other.

But I'll probably listen.

It was late last night

I was feeling something wasn't right

There was not another soul in sight

Only you, only you

So I walked along

Though I knew

That there was something wrong

'Cause the feeling I had

Was so strong

About you

Then you gazed up at me

And the answer was plain to see

'Cause I saw the light

In your eyes

In your eyes

Though we had our fling

I just never would suspect a thing

Until that little bell began to ring

In my head, in my head

But I tried to run

Though I knew it wouldn't help me none

'Cause I couldn't ever love no one

So I said

'Cause my feelings for you

Were just something I never knew

'Til I saw

The light

In your eyes

In your eyes

Do-do-be-do

Do-do-do-do

But I love you best

It's not something that I say in jest

'Cause you're different, girl

From all the rest

In my eyes

And I ran out before

But I won't do it anymore

Can't you see the light

In my eyes

In my eyes

In my

Eyes

Will you marry me?

Yes.

By the power invested in me

by the Writers Guild of America,

the Screen Actors Guild

and the Directors Guild...

I'm also on the wait list

to the Teamsters Union...

I now pronounce you two

officially reengaged.

It's 12:
01. Merry Christmas, everybody.

Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas.

- Alright.

Merry Christmas.

We're going to have to make

a Christmas decision.

It's either Slovenia or Mexico, folks.

It's your choice.

Here we go!

It was Christmas Eve, babe

In the drunk tank

An old man said to me

Won't see another one

And then he sang to me

"The Rare Old Mountain Dew"

I turned my face away

And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one

Came in 18 to 1

I got a feeling

This year's for me and you

So happy Christmas

I love you, baby

I can see a better time

When all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars

They've got rivers of gold

And the wind goes right through you

It's no place for the old

When you first took my hand

On a cold Christmas Eve

You promised me

Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome

You were pretty

The Queen of New York City

When the band finished playing

They howled out for more

Sinatra was swinging

The drunks were all singing

We kissed on a corner

And danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir

Were singing "Galway Bay"

And the bells were ringing out

For Christmas Day

I could have been someone

Well, so could anyone

You took my dreams from me

When I first found you

I kept them with me, babe

I put them with my own

Can't make it all alone

I've built my dreams around you

And the boys of the NYPD choir

Were singing "Galway Bay"

And the bells were ringing out

For Christmas Day

And the bells were ringing out

For Christmas Day

And the bells were ringing out

For Christmas Day

Hey

Oh, dear...

Oh.

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling

Ring-ting-tingling, too

Come on, it's lovely weather

For a sleigh ride together with you

Outside the snow is falling

And friends are calling "Yoo-hoo"

Come on, it's lovely weather

For a sleigh ride together with you

George! You made it!

Well, there was traffic,

so I caught a sleigh.

And you brought Miley Cyrus.

- Of course.

- It's her sleigh.

Hey, save your money.

Flying private, you know...

- It's the reindeers that'll get you.

- Oh, yeah?

Trust me.

Our cheeks are nice and rosy

And comfy cozy are we

We're snuggled up together

Like birds...

- Hello, Paul.

- So nice to see you.

- I thought I'd make a Martini or two.

- This is the place to do it.

Sing a chorus or two

Come on, it's lovely weather

For a sleigh ride together with you

Ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ding dong ding

Ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ding dong ding

- Hello, ladies.

- Oh, my goodness. The girls are here.

Hi, ladies.

Are you interested in a Martini?

Just hear those sleigh bells ringling

Jing-ting-tingling, too

Come on, it's lovely weather

For a sleigh ride together with you

Outside the snow is falling

And friends are calling "Yoo-hoo"

Come on, it's lovely weather

For a sleigh ride together with you

Ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ding dong ding

Yeah!

Well... that is wonderful.

Wonderful.

These kids have got something to do.

Let's go make ourselves scarce.

Gosh, it's beautiful isn't it?

Yeah. For a sound stage in Queens...

Silent night

Holy night

All is calm

All is bright

Round yon virgin mother and child

Holy infant

So tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly

Peace

Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night

Holy night

Shepherds quake

At the sight

Glory stream from heaven above

Heavenly hosts sing halleluiah

Christ the savior

Is born

Christ the savior is born

Silent night

Holy night

All is calm

And all is bright

Round yon virgin mother and child

Holy infant

So tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly

Peace

Sleep in heavenly

Peace

Now Mama's in the kitchen cookin'

The children all fast asleep

It's time for Santa Claus

To make his midnight creep because

Santa Claus wants some loving

Santa Claus wants some loving

Santa Claus wants some loving now

Yeah, I know

There's something real pretty

Underneath the Christmas tree

But I ain't had no lovin' all week

It's beginning to worry me because

Santa Claus wants some loving

Santa Claus wants some loving

Santa Claus wants some loving

Santa Claus wants some loving

I've been trying to find

This old bicycle

I can't seem to find my pliers

I'm halfway watchin' Mama

For that sleepy look in her eyes because

Santa Claus wants some loving

Santa Claus wants some loving

Santa Claus wants some loving

Break it down for me will ya, Paul?

Now, holy-moly...

Alibaba and the 40 Thieves...

What size shoe is that anyway?

Is that a seven-and-a-half, eight?

Or is that an eight-and-a-half, nine?

Could... Yeah...

You're...

You're awful fine

but I don't think you're mine.

You know there's no place like home

for the holidays and...

I think I'd like you to take me home

or vice versa.

I don't want no turkey

I don't care if I get any cake

I just want you to come back here, Mama

Before the children wake

Santa Claus wants some loving

You're driving me crazy, Mama.

Santa Claus wants some loving

Santa Claus wants some loving

Now Christmas is for the children

And I want them to be real pleased

But right now, Mama

It's Christmas Eve

Come make your pappy happy

Pretty please

Santa Claus wants some loving

Santa Claus wants some loving

Santa Claus wants some loving

Santa Claus wants some loving

I am the king of Christmas.

Oh! Oh! Knock it off! Knock it off!

Come on! I can't breathe!

Oh, the weather outside is frightful

But the fire is so delightful

And since we've no place to go

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It doesn't show signs of stopping
