[Chorus: Kacey Musgraves]
Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
The sun will shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way to say merry Christmas to you

[Interlude: Kacey Musgraves & Zooey Deschanel]
Zooey Deschanel! Good to meet you, hi!
How are you?
I'm-I'm good! How are you?
What are we doing?
A-a Christmas special
Oh.​

[Chorus: Zooey Deschanel]
Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
The sun will shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way to say merry Christmas to you
[Interlude: Kacey Musgraves, Zooey Deschanel, Kacey Musgraves & Zooey Deschanel]
Ooh! Yes!
I know who that's for.​​

[Chorus: Kacey Musgraves, Zooey Deschanel, Kacey Musgraves & Zooey Deschanel]
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way to say merry Christmas to you
Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
The sun will shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way to say Merry Christmas
Merry, merry Christmas
To say merry Christmas to you
