A Boy Like That / I Have a Love - Carol Lawrence, Chita Rivera, Original Broadway Cast

Buddy: Merry Christmas everybody!

I’m singing!

I’m at the North Pole and I’m singing!

I’ve got a wife and I’m singing!

And we did a special kind of hug I’ve never heard about before and when it was

over I was singing

And now we’ve got a kid so I’m singing!

Walter: (spoken) Shhh!

Buddy, you’ll wake the baby.

Jovie: (spoken) It’s ok papa Hobbs.

The baby loves Buddy’s singing.

Buddy: All I have to do is sing to stop a string of sleepy sobs

Buddy and Jovie: Cause nobody likes a Christmas song like little Buddy Hobbs

And that’s why his middle name just happens to be

Sparklejollytwinklejingley

Emily and Michael: Now we spend each Christmas here

Dressed up in North Pole festive wear

Buddy: And my son has Jovie’s eyes

Jovie: And Buddy’s bright, red curly hair

Walter: But you’ll find that Buddy Jr. takes after me

I’m Sparklejollytwinklejingley

Emily: No you’re not

Walter: Yes I am

Emily: No you’re not

Walter: Yes I am

Emily: No you’re not

Walter: Yes I am

Santa: And when the baby’s grown

He’ll ride on my sleigh

Buddy and Santa: And they’ll deliver gifts galore

Walter: We’ll teach him Christmas never gets in the way

Buddy: Guess who’s at the front door?

(Dance Break)

All: Santa!

Everything seems better with our friends and family intertwined

And we know a happy ending isn’t very hardy-har

Once we’ve turned the world into a big family

We’ll be
