I don't share music. Below is information for how to purchase and edit the song to get the same mp3 file I used.

How I created the audio file:
Ripped Christmas Vacation DVD to VOB files (Google it)
For each VOB file, Loaded into Audacity v2.3.3 with ffmpeg installed and exported as MP3.
Save as constant bit rate, 128kbps, joint stereo
VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB -> VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.mp3
VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_2.VOB -> VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_2.mp3
VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_3.VOB -> VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_3.mp3
VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_4.VOB -> VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_4.mp3

Load VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_4.mp3 into Audacity v2.3.3
Select 10m25.300s to 11m13.900s
Trim audio outside of the selection (CTRL-T)
Move selection to 0 timing mark
Select All
Effect->Normalize: Normalize Peak amplitude to -1.0 db
File->Export->Export as MP3

Alternatively if you are pulling the audio directly from the movie:
"National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation"
Movie Link: Watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation | Prime Video
From 1h22m58s to 1hr23m45s

Yet Another Alternative:
"Official National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 10th Anniversary Movie Soundtrack" CD on track 16 titled "Hell's Threshold"
Manufacturer:‎ Warner Bros.; LabelWarner Bros. Records (3003234439520); ASIN: B0011E0LXK
There's never been an official release of the Christmas Vacation soundtrack. There were 20,000 numbered CDs of a bootleg soundtrack that were sold at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Normally can be found on eBay.

[Lyrics]

Used Auto Lyrix Align to import the MP3 and Lyrics to generate a Audacity File .txt that was then directly imported into xlights as a timing track

Clark W. Griswold Jr.: Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye.
All except Clark: Gasp
And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse. Hah
Art:You're Goofy
Clark W. Griswold Jr.: Don't piss me off Art
Ellen Griswold: Clark, Its over.
Clark W. Griswold Jr.: Not according to Santa's watch it isn't.
Clark W. Griswold Sr.: Now come on son.
Clark W. Griswold Jr.: Stay out of this Dad.
Ellen Griswold: Clark, I think it's best if everybody just goes home, before things get worse.
Clark W. Griswold Jr.: WORSE? How can they get any worse? Take a look around you Ellen! We're at the threshold of Hell!
heh heh
