Official lyrics — lights, camera and a candy-cane kick beneath the northern sky.
Lyrics
Intro – Announcer
Live from the North Pole… She sings! She dances! She builds toys! Put your mittens together for— Holly Wood!
Verse 1
She arrived at the workshop in a candy-red sleigh, Wearing peppermint glasses and a sparkling beret. With a clap of her hands and a wink understood, Every elf stopped working for Miss Holly Wood! She paints every train with a silver-screen shine, Makes the teddy bears dance in a chorus line. When the Christmas lights flash, everybody feels good— There’s no star in the North like Miss Holly Wood!
Pre-Chorus
She’s got glitter on her boots, Jingle bells upon her hat. When she walks along the snow, Every snowman tips his cap!
Chorus
Holly, Holly, Holly Wood, Making Christmas look so good! She’s the brightest little star From sunny L.A. to the North Pole hood Holly, Holly, Holly Wood, Spreading cheer the way she should. When she lights up Christmas, Everybody’s feeling good!
Post-Chorus
Lights! Camera! Christmas! Here comes Holly Wood!
Verse 2
She directs the toy parade from her gingerbread chair, With the dolls doing dances and drums everywhere. She taught Rudolph’s reindeer how to pose like they should, For the Christmas Eve premiere of Miss Holly Wood! She can wrap twenty presents in the blink of an eye, Then perform a candy-cane kick beneath the northern sky. Santa laughs, “That little elf is remarkably good— Maybe I should get a cameo with Holly Wood!”
Pre-Chorus
She’s got glitter on her boots, Jingle bells upon her hat. When she walks along the snow, Every snowman tips his cap!
Chorus
Holly, Holly, Holly Wood, Making Christmas look so good! She’s the brightest little star From sunny L.A. to the North Pole hood Holly, Holly, Holly Wood, Spreading cheer the way she should. When she lights up Christmas, Everybody’s feeling good!
Post-Chorus
Lights! Camera! Christmas! Here comes Holly Wood!
Spoken Comedy Break
Santa: Holly, are the Christmas presents ready? Holly: Wrapped, stacked and camera-ready! Santa: Is my sleigh polished? Holly: It’s shining like a superstar! Santa: And how does my beard look? Holly: Santa…don’t quit your day job!
Bridge
She doesn’t need her name in lights, She brings the light on Christmas nights. Her greatest role, as she explains, Is putting smiles on windowpanes. No fame, no fortune, no red carpet needed— Just Christmas wishes signed, sealed and completed. When children wake up, she knows that they could Feel a little more magic from Miss Holly Wood!
Breakdown
H—is for the happiness she brings! O—is for the ornaments that swing! L—is for the love beneath the tree! L—is for the lights that shine for you and me! Y—is she the coolest elf around? All: YES!
Final Chorus Outro
Pre-Chorus
She’s got glitter on her boots, Jingle bells upon her hat. When she walks along the snow, Every snowman tips his cap!
Chorus
Holly, Holly, Holly Wood, Making Christmas look so good! She’s the brightest little star From sunny L.A. to the North Pole hood Holly, Holly, Holly Wood, Spreading cheer the way she should. When she lights up Christmas, Everybody’s feeling good!
Grand Finale
Lights! Camera! Christmas cheer! Holly Wood is finally here! Lights! Camera! Christmas cheer! She’ll be back again next year!
Outro – Santa
Santa: Ho! Ho! Hollywood? Holly: That’s Holly Wood, Santa! Santa: Either way—you’re a star!
