The Christmas Candle - Saturday Night Live

(Verse 1)

[KATE MCKINNON]

The snow's falling down

It’s Christmastime again

A woman has to get a gift

For some girl at work named Jen

 

[EMMA STONE]

She doesn't know what Jen likes

And she doesn't super care

So she goes inside a closet

Just to see what crap’s in there

[AIDY BRYANT]

In darkness, there's a light

Then suddenly she sees the Christmas savior's here tonight

 

(Chorus 1)

[ALL]

It's a candle

A plain peach candle

It's been sitting by a bike pump for a year

She takes the candle

Dusts off the candle

Then wraps it up for Jen and just says, "Here."

(Verse 2)

[EMMA STONE]

Then one day after this

In foggy London town

 

[AIDY BRYANT]

Two acquaintances are having tea

When one puts a present down

 

[KATE MCKINNON]

The other says, "Wait, what?

"I mean, I got you something, too."

Then she rummages inside her purse

For some garbage that will do

A hand, it settles on

[AIDY BRYANT]

Something that she just had gotten from her boyfriend's mom

 

(Chorus 2)

[ALL]

It's the candle

That same peach candle

Regifted 'round the world in just one day

Oh thank you, candle

The one true candle

The candle we all get, then give away

(Bridge)

[AIDY BRYANT]

But here’s a warning:

When you give a candle, that is all that you need

Don’t pair it with a lotion or some lame little cream

A lot of people think two gifts are better than one

But that just makes each gift seem smaller and dumb

 

(Chorus 3)

[ALL]

So just give the candle

Don't overthink the candle

It’s passed to every single woman and most guys

We all get the candle

We all give the candle

That nine-dollar candle

That almost rude candle

We're joined by the candle

It's the gift of having a gift to give away

The gift of having a gift to give away

 

Thank you, candle

Done
