MABLE TENDS THE ALLEY ON THE CORNER OF FIFTH
AS THE CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS HURRY ON BY
NO ONE STOPS TO LOOK AT HER VERY LONG
SHE MIGHT CATCH A QUARTER OR MAYBE HEAR “HI”

SIFTING THROUGH THE RUBBLE OTHERS LEAVE ON THE STREET
A MAGIC SPARKLE STARTS TO DANCE IN HER EYE
THE CARDBOARD BOX SHE’S FOUND WILL KEEP HER WARM TONIGHT
AS SNOW FALLS SOFTLY DOWN FROM THE SKY,   (SHE SINGS)

CHORUS ONE
JOY TO THE WORLD AND DECK THE HALLS
PEACE TO ALL ON THIS SEASON SO BRIGHT (PEACE TO ALL)
MAY THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS WARM MY HEART
IN THE HOME GOD HAS GIVEN TONIGHT

TONIGHT IS SO MUCH COLDER THAN THE ONE BEFORE
THE SKY IS TRICKLIN’ DOWN A FROZEN RAIN
AND MABLE, BLESS HER HEART, IS CHILLED TO THE BONE
WHEN A KIND STRANGER SEES HER, ASKS FOR HER NAME

AFTER INTRODUCTIONS, SHE HEARS THE MAN SAY
“MABLE I KNOW SOMEWHERE YOU CAN GO
LET ME TAKE YOU TO A PLACE WHERE YOU’LL BE WARM TONIGHT
ON THIS EVE OF CHRISTMAS, OUT OF THE SNOW”  (HE SINGS)

CHORUS TWO
JOY TO THE WORLD AND DECK THE HALLS
PEACE TO ALL ON THIS SEASON SO BRIGHT (PEACE TO ALL)
MAY THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS WARM YOUR HEART
IN THE HOME GOD HAS GIVEN TONIGHT

BRIDGE
SAFE IN THE SHELTER AT THE CENTER OF TOWN
SHE WON’T LET HER TROUBLES BRING HER DOWN
THOUGH SHE’S NOT REALLY  SURE WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS
FOR TONIGHT SHE LIFTS HER VOICE AND JUST SINGS

CHORUS 3
JOY, JOY TO ONE AND ALL
(JOY TO THE WORLD, OO_____)
PEACE TO ALL ON THIS SEASON SO BRIGHT (PEACE TO ALL)
MAY THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS WARM OUR HEARTS
IN THE HOME GOD HAS GIVEN TONIGHT
