and a happy new year</i>

507
00:25:10,875 --> 00:25:17,083
<i>Glad tidings we bring to you and your kin</i>

508
00:25:17,083 --> 00:25:23,208
<i>Glad tidings at Christmas
and a happy new year</i>

509
00:25:23,208 --> 00:25:25,416
<i>We wish you a swinging Christmas</i>

510
00:25:27,583 --> 00:25:29,791
<i>We wish you a crazy Christmas</i>

511
00:25:29,791 --> 00:25:35,666
<i>We wish you a naughty Christmas
and a frantic new year</i>

512
00:26:01,375 --> 00:26:02,458
<i>Yeah</i>

513
00:26:28,625 --> 00:26:29,916
DARCY: <i>All right.</i>

514
00:26:29,916 --> 00:26:32,625
(SINGING)
<i>Good Queen Darcy last looked down</i>

515
00:26:32,625 --> 00:26:35,125
<i>On the feast of Steve Rogers</i>

516
00:26:35,125 --> 00:26:37,666
<i>When the snow lay on the ground</i>

517
00:26:37,666 --> 00:26:40,208
<i>Something, something, something</i>

518
00:26:40,208 --> 00:26:45,041
<i>Thor has a giant neck
It is full of muscles</i>

519
00:26:45,041 --> 00:26:51,291
<i>He's just a little schmoopy noodle
Going through the cosmos</i>

520
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,833
(LAUGHS)

521
00:26:53,833 --> 00:26:57,791
<i>Happy Holidays!
Make up dumb songs for money.</i>
