"Making Today a Perfect Day" is a song written by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, and sung by Elsa (Idina Menzel) and Anna (Kristen Bell), with the additional vocals from Oaken (Chris Williams), Kristoff (Jonathan Groff), and Olaf (Josh Gad), in the 2015 Disney animated short Frozen Fever.
During the song, Elsa comes down with a cold while trying her utmost best to make Anna's birthday the best that she has ever had to make up for the ones missed out on over the years. However, Elsa's cold worsens which results in her exhaustion, and with Anna's insistence she finally goes to rest in the evening. To Anna, the best gift Elsa gave was allowing Anna be able to take care of her older sister.
Lyrics
Elsa: You've never had a real birthday before,
except of course the ones you spent outside my locked door
So I'm here, way too late, to help you celebrate
and be your birthday date, if I may
Achoo!
Anna: Elsa, I'm thinkin' you might have a cold
Elsa: I don't get colds. Besides, a cold never bothered me anyway
Just follow the string!
I've got big plans! I've got surprises for today!
Nothing, but nothing's, gonna get in our way!
I've worked for weeks, planned ev'rything within my pow'r
I even got Kristoff and Sven to take a show'r
If someone wants to hold me back,
I'd like to see them try
I'm on the birthday plan attack:
I'm giving you the sun, the moon and the sky
I'm making today a perfect day, for you
I'm making today a blast, if it's the last thing I do
For ev'rything you are to me, and all you've been through
I'm making today a perfect day for you
Achoo! Achoo!
Anna: They come in threes!
Elsa: I'm fine. Achoo!
Surprise, surprise! This one is specially Achoo!
Anna: Wow, you've got me reeling, but I'm still concerned for you
I think it's time that you go home and get some rest
Elsa: We are not stopping 'cause the next one is the beh-, eh-, achoo!
Anna: Elsa, you gotta go lie down
Elsa: No way! We have to paint the town
Anna: But you need medical attention
Oaken: Are you sick? How 'bout a cold remedy of my own invention?
Elsa: No thanks.
Anna: We'll take it.
Children choir: We're making today a perfect day for you
Elsa: Making today a special day
Children choir: We're singing a birthday song to make your wishes come true
Elsa: Wishes come true
Children choir: We love princess Anna
Elsa: And I love you too
Children choir: So, we're making today a perfect day,
a fabulous day in every way
Yes, we are making today a perfect day!
[Instrumental]
Elsa: Come on, now we climb!
Anna: Elsa, that's too much. You need to rest.
Elsa: We need to get our birthday chills — I mean "thrills".
Makin' dreams! Making plans! Go, go, go, go!
Follow the string to the end
You are my very best friend
Anna: Elsa?
Elsa: What? I'm fine
We're gonna climb!
We're gonna sing!
Follow the string
to the thing!
Happy, happy, happy,
merry, merry, merry,
Hot, cold, hot birthday
Anna: Elsa, look at you: you've got a fever! You're burning up!
Alright, we can't go on like this
Let's put this day on hold
Come on, admit it to yourself
Elsa: Okay, I have a cold
I'm sorry Anna, I just wanted to give you one perfect birthday. But I ruined it, again.
Anna: You didn't ruin anything. Let's just get you to bed.
Everyone: Surprise!
Anna: Wow!
Elsa: Wow...
Everyone: We're making today a perfect day for you
We're making today a smiley face, all shiny and new
Kristoff: There's a fine line between chaos
Olaf: ...and a hullabaloo!
Everyone: So we're making today a perfect day,
Making today a perfect day!
A! N! N! A!
Making today a perfect day for you
Kristoff: Happy birthday.
Everyone: Making today a happy day, and no feeling blue
Kristoff: I love you baby!
Everyone: For ev'rything you are to us,
And all that you do
Kristoff: I do!
Everyone: We're making today a perfect day,
making today a perfect day,
we're making today a perfect day
Elsa: Perfect day!
Anna: Okay, to bed with you.
Elsa: No - wait, wait! All that's left to do is for the queen to blow the birthday bukkehorn.
Anna: Oh, no no no no no no no...
Elsa: Achoo!
Anna: Best birthday present ever.
Elsa: Which one?
Anna: You letting me take care of you.
Elsa: Achoo!
