VeggieTales Can't Believe It's Christmas
| “ | Now the children of Dinkletown loved to see me around Christmastime, because they all thought they were getting something! | ” |
— George | ||
"Can't Believe it's Christmas" is the first original song from the first VeggieTales Christmas special, The Toy that Saved Christmas, and later on the album releases of A Very Veggie Christmas and 25 Favorite Christmas Songs! It is sung by Laura Carrot, Percy Pea, Junior Asparagus, Lenny Carrot, and Lil' Pea. Laura and Lenny's family's Baby Lou Carrot is also present, but he does not talk or sing, because he's an infant of that time. It is re-recorded for the 1998 version.
Story[]
George is driving to Dinkletown to make a delivery. When George arrives in Dinkletown to deliver the package of the day on house #4, the children of their families of the town sing this song while George attempts to find the house. Eventually, by the song's ending, the kids got the package into the particular house #4.
Lyrics[]
George: (Narrating) Now the children of Dinkletown loved to see me around Christmastime, because they all thought they was getting something!
Laura Carrot: I can't believe it's Christmas
I think I'm finally getting something
Can't believe it's Christmas
My favorite time of year
Percy Pea: I can't believe it's Christmas
Been dreaming of a sugarplum thing
Can't believe it's Christmas
Oh boy, it's finally here.
[All the children in town, Laura, Lenny and Baby Lou, Junior Asparagus, and Percy and Lil' Pea, gather around George, who has just gotten a long package from the back of his truck as George takes notice.]
George: Oh! Now wait a minute! I only got one package today, and it's for house number four. Now let's see, which one is house #4?
All: Ho Ho Away we go,
with rosy cheeks and hearts a glowing
Hey! Hey! Our favorite day!
It makes us wanna cheer.
Percy: Yo, Ho, we love the snow!
Lil' Pea: At least we know we won't be mowing
All: Ya, Hey, we're glad to say that
Christmas time is heeeeere
[George falls over while carrying the package. The snowman that stands in the center of town leans over before the snowman's head falls off and lands on the package, which sends it flying until it lands on the roof of one of the houses.]
George: Uh-oh!
All: We-eeee, can't believe it's Christmas
Been waiting for a million hours
Can't believe it's Christmas
Oh what a nifty day.
We can't believe it's Christmas
Lenny: Took 14 baths and 18 showers
All: Can't believe it's Christmas
And now it's time to play
We can't believe it's Christmas
We think we're finally getting something
Can't believe it's Christmas
Our favorite time of year
We can't believe it's Christmas
Been dreaming of a sugarplum thing
Can't believe it's Christmas
Oh boy, it's finally...
[In the above two and a half verses, George rams his head repeatedly, to the beat of the music, into the support post of the house, which causes the package to come loose and slide down the house towards George.]
George: Whoa! Whooooaaaaaa!
[The sliding package picks up the children as they continue singing]
George: Oy, My spinely.
All: Boy, it's finally here
[The package with the children on it slides right into House #4 as George picks himself up.]
George: Where did the...? (Notices the "4" sign at the door) Oh, #4. Well, that was easy.
Laura: I can't believe it's Christmas
I'm glad I get to give you something
Can't believe it's Christmas
My favorite time of year!
Percy: I can't believe it's Christmas
I'm wrapping up a sugarplum thing
Can't believe it's Christmas
Oh boy its finally here!
All: Ho, Ho, away we go
with rosy cheeks and hearts a glowing
Hey, Hey, our favorite day
It makes us wanna cheer
Percy: Yo, ho, we love the snow
Lil' Pea: At least we know we won't be mowing!
All: Ya! Hey! We're glad to say
that Christmas time is here.
We-eee, can't believe it's Christmas
Lenny: Getting something for my dad and mother.
All: Can't believe it's Christmas
Lenny: Because I Love 'em so
All: We can't believe it's Christmas
Percy: A package for my little brother
All: Can't believe it's Christmas
Percy Pea: And even Uncle Joe
All: We can't believe it's Christmas
We're glad we get to give you something

Our Favorite time of year.
We can't believe it's Christmas
We're wrapping up a sugarplum thing
