Story Behind The Song
Every year, my subdivision holds a Christmas decorating contest, and some neighbors go all out. One house covers nearly two acres in lights. Watching how seriously people compete gave me the idea for a playful song about wanting to have the best-dressed house in the neighborhood.
Song Description
An energetic, playful holiday synth-pop track built around over-the-top Christmas decorating and neighborhood competition. Bright synths, punchy drums, layered vocals, and a cheeky lyric give it a modern, non-traditional Christmas feel. Suited to holiday promos, decorating shows, retail, lifestyle TV, commercials, and festive montage scenes.

Lyrics
Black Friday's almost done,
And here he comes,
Strolling down the aisle
Like he's all Top Gun.
It's written on his face,
He's aiming for first place.
Well, neighbor, I'm afraid
You're going down this race.
'Cuz I got a grand design in mind,
And with you by my side,
We've all but won...
In the Christmas decorating contest,
We're gonna have the best dressed house they've ever seen.
So king, queen, prince, and princess crown us
The best dressed house in the whole county.
Two weeks I've been non-stop,
Put up a Santa's workshop,
And an angel choir sings around the clock.
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Next door it's "way back when,"
Some reindeer and a couple snowmen.
We've got a laser show, a hot cocoa fountain.
You can see our lights from outer space.
Electric bills will melt your face.
We've almost won...
In the Christmas decorating contest,
We're gonna have the best dressed house they've ever seen.
So king, queen, prince, and princess crown us
The best dressed house in the whole county.
Oh, we're not sore winners,
So I'll invite them for dinner to feast their eyes
On the trophy from the...
Christmas decorating contest,
(Best dressed house they've ever seen)
We're gonna have the best dressed house they've ever seen.
(Best dressed house that's ever been)
So king, queen, prince, and princess crown us
(Best dressed house they've ever seen)
The best dressed house in the...
(It's gonna turn the neighbor's snow...)
Best dressed house they've ever seen,
Best dressed house that's ever been,
Best dressed house they've ever seen.
It's gonna turn the neighbor's snow
Green, green with envy,
Green, green with envy.
