Verse 1
Junie, you came down the stairs at four and asked me if it's time
I said the sun's not up yet, baby, and you said the sun is slow
You had one sock and both your boots and glitter on your face
And you woke your uncle up by breathing loudly at his door
By six there's flour on the ceiling and I don't know how it flew
By seven this whole house is up and half of it is you
Chorus
The whole house singing, nobody in tune
Your grandmother is clapping on the wrong beat in the room
There is nothing under that tree as good as this to me
The whole house singing, and the loudest one is you
Verse 2
You made a card for everybody, even for the cat
You spelled my name with seven letters and I'm keeping it like that
You gave your cousin your best marble, the green one, the good
You said that's what the day is for and I guess you understood
I have been in choirs with far better voices than we've got
But I have never heard a sound like this and I have heard a lot
Chorus
The whole house singing, nobody in tune
Your grandmother is clapping on the wrong beat in the room
There is nothing under that tree as good as this to me
The whole house singing, and the loudest one is you
Bridge
One day you will be taller and this kitchen will be small
One day you'll come home from somewhere with a story in the hall
And I will put the flour out and we will do it all again
Final Chorus
The whole house singing, nobody in tune
Your grandmother is clapping and she does not care she's wrong
There is nothing under that tree as good as this to me
The whole house singing — Junie, merry Christmas, sing along
Outro
Go on and wake the neighbours, go on and let it ring
The whole house singing, baby, the whole house singing
