Editor’s note: In celebration of the re-opening of The Triplex Cinema in Great Barrington, James King Harris has sent us new versions of favorite Christmas carols. We thought you might enjoy singing along.
O LITTLE TOWN OF BARRINGTON
O little town of Barrington, the movies have come back
No more frowns in our downtown, and that’s a happy fact
Come support the Triplex, see a show today,
The popcorn’s hot, the candy’s not, the magic’s here to stay.
O little town of Barrington, where many pot shops thrive,
They’re not enough, we need the stuff
That movies can provide.
There’s nothing like the big screen, where every dream comes true,
So get off the stick, come see a flick, the Triplex waits for you.
***
LET IT SHOW! LET IT SHOW! LET IT SHOW!
Oh, the screens are no longer black here,
Cause the movies have come back here,
The Triplex’s the place to go,
Let it show! Let is show! Let it show!
We’re sick of hibernation
And COVID vaccinations,
No longer are we feeling low,
Let it show! Let it show! Let it show!
Why stay stuck in your living room,
Away from the human race,
When you can see the camera zoom,
Right upon Emma Stone’s face.
Hollywood’s back in town now,
The magic’s all around now,
The Triplex’s the place to go,
Let it show! Let it show! Let it show!

DECK THE HOLLYWOOD
Fill the screen with Spencer Tracy,
Haw haw haw haw Hawleywood,
Meryl Streep and William Macy,
Haw haw haw haw Hawleywood,
The stars are back down at the Triplex,
Haw haw haw haw Hawleywood,
On the screen with thrills and some sex
Haw haw haw haw Hawleywood,
Fill the screen with Marlon Brando,
Haw haw haw haw Hawleywood,
Cate Blanchette and Greta Garbo,
Haw haw haw haw Hawleywood,
They wait for us in living color,
Haw haw haw haw Hawleywood,
For to make our lives less duller
Haw haw haw haw Hawleywood,
Haw haw haw haw Hawleywood.
