Saturday Night Live – The Christmas Candle lyrics
(feat. Emma Stone, Kate McKinnon & Aidy Bryant)

(Spoken Intro)
[KATE MCKINNON]
Everyone knows the story

[EMMA STONE]
Of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ

[AIDY BRYANT]
This is the story

[EMMA STONE]
Of another more powerful Christmas savior

(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
To see what crap’s in there


[AIDY BRYANT]
In darkness, there's a light
And suddenly she sees what Christmas savior's here tonight

(Chorus 1)
[ALL]
It's a candle
A peach candle
Sitting by the bike 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
And 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
And she settles on

[AIDY BRYANT]
Something that she just had gotten from her boyfriend's mom

(Chorus 2)
[ALL]
It's a candle
The 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, it 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 gays
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

(Spoken outro)
[EMMA STONE]
Thank you, candle
