O Come, All Ye Faithful
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
Come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him, born the King of angels;
Refrain
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
True God of true God, Light from Light Eternal,
Lo, he shuns not the Virgin's womb;
Son of the Father, begotten, not created;
Refrain
Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation;
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God, all glory in the highest;
Refrain
See how the shepherds, summoned to His cradle,
Leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze;
We too will thither bend our joyful footsteps;
Refrain
Child, for us sinners poor and in the manger,
We would embrace Thee, with love and awe;
Who would not love Thee, loving us so dearly?
Refrain
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning;
Jesus, to Thee be glory given;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing.
Refrain
Angels, From the Realms of Glory
Angels, from the realms of glory,
Wing your flight o'er all the earth;
Ye, who sang creation's story,
Now proclaim Messiah's birth:
Come and worship,
Come and worship
Worship Christ, the new-born King.
Shepherds in the field abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing;
Yonder shines the infant Light:
Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar:
Seek the great Desire of nations;
Ye have seen his natal star:
Saints before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In his temple shall appear.
The First Noel
The first Noel, the angel did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East, beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
And by the light of that same star,
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
This star drew night to the northwest,
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
Then entered in those wise men three,
Full reverently upon their knee;
And offered there in his presence,
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
Good Christian Men, Rejoice
Good Christian men, rejoice,
With heart and soul, and voice;
Give ye heed to what we say:
Jesus Christ is born to-day;
Ox and ass before him bow,
And he is in the manger now.
Christ is born to-day!
Christ is born to-day!
Good Christian men, rejoice,
With heart and soul, and voice;
Now ye hear of endless bliss:
Jesus Christ was born for this!
He hath oped the heavenly door,
And man is blessed evermore.
Christ was born for this!
Christ was born for this!
Good Christian men, rejoice,
With heart and soul, and voice;
Now ye need not fear the grave:
Jesus Christ was born to save!
Calls you one and calls you all
To gain his everlasting hall.
Christ was born to save!
Christ was born to save!
What Child Is This?
What child is this, who, laid to rest,
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
The babe, the son of Mary.
Why lies he in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.
So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come, peasant, king, to own him.
the King of kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone him.
God Rest You Merry Gentlemen
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day;
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy!
From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came;
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tiding of the same;
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name.
"Fear not, then," said the angel,
"Let nothing you affright;
This day is born a Savior
Of a pure virgin bright,
To free all those who trust in him
From Satan's power and might."
Now to the Lord sing praises,
All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace;
this holy tide of Christmas
Doth bring redeeming grace.
Angels We Have Heard on High
Angels we have heard on high,
Singing sweetly through the night,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brave delight.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why these songs of happy cheer?
What great brightness did you see?
What glad tiding did you hear?
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the new-born King.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
See him in a manger laid
Whom the angels praise above;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While we raise our hearts in love.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Away in a Manger
Away in a manger, no crib for his bed,
the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
but little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky,
And stay by my side until morning is nigh.
It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, good will to men,
From heaven's all-gracious King."
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled,
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world;
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing,
And ever o'er its Babel-sounds
The blessed angels sing.
Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the heavenly strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The tidings which they bring;
O hush the noise, ye men of strife,
And hear the angels sing!
O ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow,
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing!
For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophets seen of old,
When with the ever-circling years
Shall come the time foretold,
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing.

O Christmas Tree
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree!
How are thy leaves so verdant!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How are thy leaves so verdant!
Not only in the summertime,
But even in winter is thy prime.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How are thy leaves so verdant!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Much pleasure doth thou bring me!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Much pleasure doth thou bring me!
For every year the Christmas tree,
Brings to us all both joy and glee.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Much pleasure doth thou bring me!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,

O Little Town of Bethlehem
O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see the lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee to-night.
For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him, still
The dear Christ enters in.
Where children pure and happy
Pray to the blessed Child,
Where misery cries out to thee,
Son of the mother mild;
Where charity stands watching
And faith holds wide the door,
The dark night wakes, the glory breaks,
And Christmas comes once more.
O holy Child of Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in,
Be born in us to-day.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel!
Silent Night
Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child.
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia;
Christ the Savior, is born!
Christ the Savior, is born!
Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.
Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer
Rudolf, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolf
play in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolf with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee:
"Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history!"
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the new-born King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With the angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the new-born King!
Christ, by highest heaven adored;
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of the Virgin's womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail the incarnate Deity,
Pleased as man with man to dwell;
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Mild he lays his glory by,
Born that man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Risen with healing in his wings,
Light and life to all he brings,
Hail, the Sun of Righteousness!
Hail, the heaven-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Heaven-born Prince of Peace
Hail the Son of Righteousness
Light and life to all He brings
Risen with healing in His wings
Mild He lay His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Come Desire of Nations come,
Fix in us thy humble home.
Rise, the woman's conquering Seed,
Bruise in us the serpent's head.
Adam's likeness now efface
Stamp thine image in its place

Good King Wenceslas
Good King Wenceslas looked out
on the feast of Stephen,
when the snow lay round about,
deep and crisp and even.
Brightly shown the moon that night,
though the frost was cruel,
when a poor man came in sight,
gathering winter fuel.
Hither, page, and stand by me.
If thou know it telling:
yonder peasant, who is he?
Where and what his dwelling?
Sire, he lives a good league hence,
underneath the mountain,
right against the forest fence
by Saint Agnes fountain.
Bring me flesh, and bring me wine.
Bring me pine logs hither.
Thou and I will see him dine
when we bear the thither.
Page and monarch, forth they went,
forth they went together
through the rude wind's wild lament
and the bitter weather.
Sire, the night is darker now,
and the wind blows stronger.
Fails my heart, I know not how.
I can go no longer.
Ark my footsteps my good page,
tread thou in them boldly:
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
freeze thy blood less coldly.
In his master's step he trod,
where the snow lay dented.
Heat was in the very sod
which the saint had printed.
Therefore, Christian men, be sure,
wealth or rank possessing,
ye who now will bless the poor
shall yourselves find blessing.
I Saw Three Ships
I saw three ships come sailing in
on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day.
I saw three ships come sailing in
on Christmas Day in the morning.
And what was in those ships all three
on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?
And what was in those ships all three
on Christmas Day in the morning?
The Virgin Mary and Christ were there
on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day.
The virgin Mary and Christ were there
on Christmas Day in the morning.
Joy to the World
Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
and heaven and nature sing,
and heaven and nature sing,
and heaven, and heaven and nature sing.
Joy to the earth! the Savior reigns;
Let men their songs employ;
while fields and floods,
rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
No more let sins and sorrows grow,
nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessing flow
far as the curse is found,
far as the curse is found,
far as, far as the curse is found.
He rules the world with truth and grace,
and makes the nations prove
the glories of His righteousness,
and wonders of His love,
and wonders of His love,
and wonders, wonders of His love.

O Holy Night
O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,
Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friends.
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
Carol of the Bells
Carol of the Bells is an adaptation of an ancient Ukrainian folk song
called a "shchedrivka". An arrangement by Mykola Leontovych (1877-1921)
was popularized in the 1930's by Oleksander Koshyts (1875-1944), a
Ukrainian choir director who worked in the US and Canada. It has since
become an American Christmas classic.
Hark how the bells,
sweet silver bells,
all seem to say,
throw cares away
Christmas is here,
bringing good cheer,
to young and old,
meek and the bold,
ding dong ding
that is their song
with joyful ring
all caroling
one seems to hear
words of good cheer
from everywhere
filling the air
Oh how they pound,
raising the sound,
o'er hill and dale,
telling their tale,
Gaily they ring
while people sing
songs of good cheer,
Christmas is here,
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,
On on they send ,
on without end,
their joyful tone to every home
Dong Ding dong ding, dong Bong
Santa Baby
Sung by Madonna
Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me
I've been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, an out-of-space convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you dear Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be oh so good
If you'd check off my Christmas list
Boo doo bee doo
Santa honey, I wanna yacht and really that's
Not a lot
I've been an angel all year
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, there's one thing I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, I'm filling my stocking with a duplex, and checks
Sign your 'X' on the line
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me
Boo doo bee doo
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
I don't mean a phone
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Christ Is Born In Bethlehem
Christ, by highest heaven adored
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of a virgin's womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail th' Incarnate Deity,
Pleased as man with man to dwell;
Jesus, our Emmanuel.
Come, Desire of nations come,
Fix in us Thy humble home;
Rise, the Woman's conquering Seed,
Bruise in us the Serpent's head.
Adam's likeness, Lord efface:
Stamp Thy image in its place;
Second Adam, from above,
Reinstate us in thy love.
Hail, the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail, the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Ris'n with healing in His wings.
Mild He lays His glory by,
Born that man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Christmas Without You
Words and Music by Dolly Parton and Steve Goldstein
White Christmas and I'm blue
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you
The fireplace keeps burning and my thoughts keep turning
The pages of memories of time spent with you
Old Christmas songs we knew and used to make love to
Make it hard to get used to
Christmas without you
Chorus:
Christmas without you
White Christmas and I'm blue
I love you I miss you
So sad but so true
Christmas without you
Like a mystery with no clues
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you
The sweetest gift I know would be if the new snow
Could fall on your footsteps on this Christmas eve
The most joyous Christmas if luck could be with us
Would be if Saint Nicholas brought you home to me
Repeat chorus twice
The Coventry Carol
Lullaby, thou little tiny child,
By, by, lullay, lullay
Lullay, thou little tiny child,
By, by, lullay, lullay.
O sisters too, how may we do,
For to preserve this day,
This poor youngling for whom we sing,
By, by, lullay, lullay.
Herod the king in his ragin,
Charged he hath this day,
His men of night, in his own sight,
All children young to stay.
Then woe is me, poor child, for thee,
And ever mourn and say,
For thy parting not say, nor sing,
By, by, lullay, lullay.
Mary's Boy Child
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.
And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.
Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible say,
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today,
And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.
While shepherds watch their flocks by night,
they see a bright new shining star,
they hear a choir sing a song, the music seemed to come from afar.
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today,
And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.
Oh a moment still worth was a glow, all the bells rang out
there were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted
"let everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace".
Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, came to Bethlehem that night,
they found no place to bear her child, not a single room was in sight.
And then they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn,
and in a manger cold and dark, Mary's little boy was born.
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today,
And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.
Oh a moment still worth was a glow, all the bells rang out
there were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted
"let everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace".
Oh my Lord...
With Bells On
-Words By Dolly Parton
I'll be home with bells on
I'll be home with bells on
Trim the trees and wrap the presents
turn the Christmas music on
This Christmas I'll be home with bells on
I've traveled around this country crossed the waters deep and wide
Made lots of friends and memories brought joy to others lives
It's Christmas time again another year has come and gone
And I can't keep from wonderin' how the old folks are at home
I'll be home with bells on
I'll be home with bells on
Trim the tree and wrap the presents turn the Christmas music on
This Christmas I'll be home with bells on
When the snow is on the meadow and the sleigh bells jingle bright
And the kids are singing jingle bells around the Christmas lights
As daddy stokes the fire and mama puts the turkey on
There ain't nothing going to slow me down this Christmas I'll be home
I'll be home with bells on
I'll be home with bells on
Trim the tree and wrap the presents turn the Christmas music on
This Christmas I'll be home with bells on
Angels and Shepherds

Hark all ye shepherds, come join in our song.
Hark all ye shepherds, for Jesus is born.
Lo he is lying, born in a manger,
Jesus, annointed to be our Savior. Alleluia!
Hark all ye shepherds, arise from your sheep.
Hark all ye shepherds, the Christ child asleep.
Mary, the mother, quietly singing,
From God to man salvation is bringing. Alleluia!
Angels adore him, men bow before him, heaven and earth proclaim!
Prophets of old his coming foretold and men ever praise his name.
Come and adore him, Jesus our Savior,
He dwells among us, now and forever. Alleluia!

Born in Bethlehem.

Twelve for the twelve Apostles...
Home for the Holidays
Al Stillman and Robert Allen
Oh, there’s no place like
home for the holidays,
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine
Of a friendly face
For the holidays, you can’t beat
Home, sweet home
I met a man who lives in Tennessee
And he was headin’ for Pennsylvania
And some home made pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks a travelin’ down
To Dixie’s sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee
The traffic is terrific
Oh there's no place like home
For the holidays, ‘cause no matter
How far away you roam
If you want
To be happy in a million ways
For the holidays, you can’t beat
Home, sweet home

More in tune than fife and drum,
So be merry while you play.

The Huron Carol
'Twas in the moon of winter-time
When all the birds had fled,
That mighty Gitchi Manitou
Sent angel choirs instead;
Before their light the stars grew dim,
And wandering hunter heard the hymn:
"Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born,
In excelsis gloria."
Within a lodge of broken bark
The tender Babe was found,
A ragged robe of rabbit skin
Enwrapp'd His beauty round;
But as the hunter braves drew nigh,
The angel song rang loud and high... Refrain
O children of the forest free,
O sons of Manitou,
The Holy Child of earth and heaven
Is born today for you.
Come kneel before the radiant Boy
Who brings you beauty, peace and joy. Refrain
In Excelsis Gloria
When Christ was born of Mary free,
In Bethlehem in that fair city,
Angels sung e'er with mirth and glee,
In excelsis gloria,
In excelsis gloria,
In excelsis gloria,
In excelsis gloria.
Herdsmen beheld these angels bright-
To them appeared with great light,
And said, "God's son is born this night." Refrain
This King is come to save His kind,
In the Scripture as we find;
Therefore this song we have in mind: Refrain
Then, dear Lord, for Thy great grace,
Grant us the bliss to see Thy face,
Where we may sing to Thy solace: Refrain
Fum, Fum, Fum,
Spanish
On this joyful Christmas Day
Sing fum, fum, fum
On this joyful Christmas Day
Sing fum, fum, fum
For a blessed Babe was born
Upon this day at the break of morn
In a manger poor and lowly
Lay the Son of God most holy
Fum, Fum, Fum!
Thanks to God for holidays
Sing fum, fum, fum
Now we all our voices raise
And sing a song of grateful praise
Celebrate in song and story
All the wonders of His glory
Fum, fum, fum
The Greatest Gift of All
John Jarvis
Dawn is slowly breaking
Our friends have all gone home
You and I are waiting
For Santa Claus to come
There's a present by the tree
Stockings on the wall
Knowing you're in love with me
Is the greatest gift of all
The fire is slowly fading
Chill is in the air
All the gifts are waiting
For children ev'rywhere
Through the window I can see
Snow begin to fall
Knowing you're in love with me
Is the greatest gift of all
Just before I go to sleep
I hear a church bell ring
Merry Christmas ev'ryone
Is the song it sings
So I say a silent prayer
For creatures great and small
Peace on earth goodwill to men
Is the greatest gift of all
Peace on earth goodwill to men
Is the greatest gift of all
Greensleeves
William Chatterdon Dixs
Version 1 & 2
What child is this, who, lay to rest,
on Mary's lap, is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
while Shepards watch are keeping
Chorus
This, this is Christ the King
whom Shepards guard and angels sing
Haste, Haste, to bring him laud,
The babe, the son of Mary
Why lies he in such mean estate
where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear; for sinners
here the silent Word is pleading
Chorus
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh come,
peasant, King, to own him;
The King of kings salvation brings,
let loving hearts enthrone Him
Chorus
Version 2
Alas, my love, you do me wrong,
To cast me off discourteously
For I have loved you well and long,
Delighting in your company
Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady greensleeves
Your vows you've broken, like my heart,
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now I remain in a world apart
But my heart remains in captivity
I have been ready at your hand,
To grant whatever you would crave,
I have both wagered life and land,
Your love and good-will for to have
If you intend thus to disdain,
It does the more enrapture me,
And even so, I still remain
A lover in captivity
My men were clothed all in green,
And they did ever wait on thee;
All this was gallant to be seen,
And yet thou wouldst not love me
Thou couldst desire no earthly thing,
but still thou hadst it readily
Thy music still to play and sing;
And yet thou wouldst not love me
Well, I will pray to God on high,
that thou my constancy mayst see,
And that yet once before I die,
Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me
Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu,
To God I pray to prosper thee,
For I am still thy lover true,
Come once again and love me

(Do They Know It's Christmas?)
Band Aid Christmas Song
M. Ure and Bob Geldof
It's Christmastime; there's no need to be afraid
At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime
But say a prayer to pray for the other ones
At Christmastime
It's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Oh, where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
Here's to you, raise a glass for ev'ryone
Here's to them, underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again
The Night Before Christmas
Clement Clarke Moore - adapted by Johnny Marks
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
All the stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In the hope that Saint Nicholas soon would be there.
Then, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
A miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
A little old driver so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be Saint Nick.
And more rapid than eagles his reindeer all came
As he shouted, "Oh Dasher" and each reindeer's name.
And so up to the housetop the reindeer soon flew
With the sleigh full of toys and Saint Nicholas, too.
Down the chimney he came with a leap and a bound;
He was dressed all in fur, and his belly was round.
He spoke not a word but went straight to this work,
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
Then giving a nod up the chimney he rose.
But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight,
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
Suzy Snowflake
Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett
Here comes Suzy Snowflake,
Dressed in a snow-white gown,
Tap, tap, tappin' at your windowpane
To tell you she's in town.
Here comes Suzy Snowflake;
Soon you will hear her say,
"Come out ev'ryone and play with me;
I haven't long to stay.
If you want to make a snowman,
I'll help you make one, two, three.
If you wanna take a sleigh ride,
The ride's on me."
Here comes Suzy Snowflake;
Look at her tumblin' down,
Bringing joy to ev'ry girl and boy;
Suzy's come to town.
I Want a Hippopotamus For Christmas
-- writing credits go to John Rox, copyright 1950. It's included on a
tape by "Joanie Bartel's Christmas Magic."
"I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
I don't want a doll, no dinkey tinker toys
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use a dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door
That's the easy thing to do
I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy, what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinosaurus
I only likes hippopotamuses [sic]
And hippopotamuses [sic] like me, too
Mom says a hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian
There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage."
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, O come, Thou Lord of Might,
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height,
In ancient times didst give the law,
In cloud, and majesty, and awe. Refrain
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny;
From depths of hell Thy people save
And give them victory o'er the grave. Refrain
O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death's dark shadows put to flight. Refrain
O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery. Refrain
O come, Thou Wisdom from on high,
And order all things, far and nigh;
To us the path of knowledge show,
And cause us in her ways to go. Refrain
O come, Desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind;
Bid Thou our sad divisions cease,
And be Thyself our King of peace. Refrain
I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play.
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of Peace on earth, good will to men.
I thought how as the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had roll'd along th' unbroken song
Of Peace on earth, good will to men.
And in despair, I bow'd my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong and mocks the song,
Of Peace on earth, good will to men."
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep;
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With Peace on earth, good will to men."
Do You Hear What I Hear?
Said the night wind to the little lamb,
"Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite,
With a tail as big as a kite."
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
"Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song high above the trees
With a voice as big as the the sea,
With a voice as big as the the sea."
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
"Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm, mighty king,
Do you know what I know?
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold--
Let us bring him silver and gold,
Let us bring him silver and gold."
Said the king to the people everywhere,
"Listen to what I say!
Pray for peace, people, everywhere,
Listen to what I say!
The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light,
He will bring us goodness and light."
The Holly And The Ivy
The holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown,
Of all trees that are in the wood,
The holly bears the crown:
O, the rising of the sun,
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the choir.
The holly bears a blossom,
As white as lily flow'r,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
To be our dear Saviour: Refrain
The holly bears a berry,
As red as any blood,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
To do poor sinners good: Refrain
The holly bears a prickle,
As sharp as any thorn,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
On Christmas Day in the morn: Refrain
The holly bears a bark,
As bitter as the gall,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
For to redeem us all: Refrain
The holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown,
Of all trees that are in the wood,
The holly bears the crown: Refrain
Here We Come A-Wassailing
Here we come a-wassailing among the leaves so green;
Here we come a-wandering, so fair to be seen.
Love and joy come to you, and to you our wassail, too.
And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year
And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year
We are not daily beggars that beg from door to door;
But we are neighbours' children whom you have seen before. Refrain
We have a little purse made of ratching leather skin;
We want a little sixpence to line it well within. Refrain
God bless the master of this house, likewise the mistress, too;
And all the little children that round the table go. Refrain
Gloucestershire Wassail
Wassail, wassail all over the town!
Our bread it is white and our ale it is brown,
Our bowl, it is made of the good maple tree;
From the wassailing bowl we'll drink unto thee.
Come, butler, and fill us a bowl of your best,
And we hope your soul in Heaven may rest;
But if you do bring us a bowl of the small,
Then down shall go butler and bowl and all.
Come here, sweet maid, in the frilly white smock,
Come trip to the door and trip back the lock!
Come trip to the door and pull back the pin,
And let us jolly wassailers in.
We Wish You A Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin;
Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding;
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding;
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding and a cup of good cheer. Refrain
We won't go until we get some;
We won't go until we get some;
We won't go until we get some, so bring some out here. Refrain
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Silver Bells
Jay Livingston and Ray Evans
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air
There's a feeling
of Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on ev'ry street corner you'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush
home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle
You'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day
The Christmas Song
Lyrics by Mel Torme
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some
Mistletoe help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies
On his sleigh
And ev'ry mother's
Child is gonna spy to see if
Reindeer really know how to fly
And so, I'm offering this
Simple phrase to kids from
One to ninety-two
Altho' it's been said many times
Many ways; "Merry Christmas to you"
Up on the Housetop
B.R. Hanby
Up on the housetop reindeer pause
Out jumps good old Santa Claus
Down thru the chimney with lots of toys
All for the little ones
Christmas joys
Chorus
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn't go!
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn't go!
Up on the housetop
Click, click, click
Down thru the chimney with
Good Saint Nick
First comes the stocking
Of little Nell
Oh, dear Santa
Fill it well
Give her a dolly
That laughs and cries
One that will open
And shut her eyes
Repeat Chorus
Next comes the stocking
Of little Will
Oh, just see what
A glorious fill
Here is a hammer
And lots of tacks
Also a ball
And a whip that cracks
Repeat Chorus

Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer
Irish Rovers
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
She'd been drinkin' too much egg nog,
And we'd begged her not to go.
But she'd left her medication,
So she stumbled out the door into the snow.
When they found her Christmas mornin',
At the scene of the attack.
There were hoof prints on her forehead,
And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back.
Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
Now were all so proud of Grandpa,
He's been takin' this so well.
See him in there watchin' football,
Drinkin' beer and playin' cards with cousin Belle.
It's not Christmas without Grandma.
All the family's dressed in black.
And we just can't help but wonder:
Should we open up her gifts or send them back?
Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
Now the goose is on the table
And the pudding made of fig.
And a blue and silver candle,
That would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig.
I've warned all my friends and neighbours.
Better watch out for yourselves."
They should never give a license,
To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.
Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house, Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night.
She didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep;
She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep.
Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white;
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night.
Over the River and Through the Woods
Over the river and through the woods
To Grandmother's house we go.
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
Through white and drifted snow.
Over the river and through the woods,
Oh, how the wind does blow.
It stings the toes and bites the nose
As over the ground we go.
Over the river and through the woods
To have a full day of play.
Oh, hear the bells ringing ting-a-ling-ling,
For it is Christmas Day.
Over the river and through the woods,
Trot fast my dapple gray;
Spring o'er the ground just like a hound,
For this is Christmas Day.
Over the river and through the woods
And straight through the barnyard gate.
It seems that we go so dreadfully slow;
It is so hard to wait.
Over the river and through the woods,
Now Grandma's cap I spy.
Hurrah for fun; the pudding's done;
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie.
A Visit from St.Nicholas
by Clement C. Moore
Down the chimney St.Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in furs from his head to his foot,
and his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a pedlar just opening his pack.
His eyes how they twinkled! His dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry;
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little round belly
That shook, when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.
He was chubby and plump - a right jolly old elf -
And laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself.
It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go;
Take a look in the five-and-ten, glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas,
Toys in ev'ry store,
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door.
A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben;
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen;
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go;
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well,
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas;
Soon the bells will start,
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart.
Ding Dong Merrily on High
Ding Dong! merrily on high
In heav'n the bells are ringing
Ding, dong! verily the sky
Is riv'n with angel singing
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis
E'en so here below, below
Let steeple bells be swungen
And i-o, i-o, i-o
By priest and people be sungen
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis
Pray ye dutifully prime
Your matin chime, ye ringers
May ye beautifully rime
Your evetime song, ye singers
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis
Frosty the Snow Man
Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
and two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow but the children
know how he came to life one day
There must have been some magic in that
old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
he began to dance around
O Frosty the snowman
was alive as he could be
And the children say he could laugh
and play just the same as you and me
Thumpetty thump thump
thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpetty thump thump
thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow
Frosty the snowman knew
the sun was hot that day
So he said
"Let's run and
we'll have some fun
now before I melt away
" Down to the village
with a broomstick in his hand
Running here and there all
around the square saying
Catch me if you can
He led them down the streets of town
right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when
he heard him holler "Stop!"
For Frosty the snow man
had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye saying
"Don't you cry
I'll be back again some day
" Thumpetty thump thump
thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpetty thump thump
thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow
White Christmas
Irving Berlin 1942
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
Mr. Grinch
You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch
You really are a heel,
You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch,
You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel!
You're a monster, Mr. Grinch,
Your heart's an empty hole,
Your brain is full of spiders, you have garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch,
I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!
You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch,
You have termites in your smile,
You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch,
Given a choice between the two of you I'd take the seasick crocodile!
You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch,
You're the king of sinful sots,
Your heart's a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch,
You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!
You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch,
With a nauseous super "naus"!,
You're a crooked dirty jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch,
Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful
assortment of rubbish imaginable mangled up in tangled up knots!
You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch,
You're a nasty wasty skunk,
Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch,
The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote,

Gentle Mary Laid Her Child
[Joseph S. Cook, 1919]
Gentle Mary laid her Child
Lowly in a manger.
There He lay, the Undefiled,
To the world a stranger.
Such a Babe in such a place,
Can He be the Savior?
Ask the saved of all the race
Who have found His favor.
Angels sang about His birth,
Wise men sought and found Him.
Heaven's star shone brightly forth
Glory all around Him.
Shepherds saw the wondrous sight,
Hear the angels singing.
All the plains were lit that night,
All the hills were ringing.
Gentle Mary laid her Child
Lowly in a manger.
He is still the Undefiled,
But no more a stranger.
Son of God of humble birth,
Beautiful the story.
Praise His name in all the earth.
Hail! The King of Glory!
Go Tell It On The Mountain
When I was a seeker
I sought both night and day,
I asked the Lord to help me,
And he showed me the way.
Chorus
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere,
Go tell it on the mountain,
Our Jesus Christ is born.
He made me a watchman
Upon a city wall,
And if I am a Christian,
I am the least of all.
Chorus
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere,
Go tell it on the mountain,
Our Jesus Christ is born.
Jingle Bells
James Pierpont - 1857
Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go, laughing all the way;
Bells on bob-tail ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight
Chorus
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright, was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot;
He got into a drifted bank and we got upsot
(Chorus)
A day or two ago, the story I must tell
I went out on the snow, and on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by, in a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed as there I sprawling lie but quickly drove away
(Chorus)
Now the ground is white, go it while you're young
Take the girls tonight, and sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bob-tailed bay, two-forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! you'll take the lead
(Chorus)
Jolly Old Saint Nicholas
Jolly old Saint Nicholas,
Lean your ear this way!
Don't you tell a single soul
What I'm going to say;
Christmas Eve is coming soon;
Now, you dear old man,
Whisper what you'll bring to me;
Tell me if you can.
When the clock is striking twelve,
When I'm fast asleep,
Down the chimney broad and black,
With your pack you'll creep;
All the stockings you will find
Hanging in a row;
Mine will be the shortest one,
You'll be sure to know.
Johnny wants a pair of skates;
Susy wants a dolly;
Nellie wants a story book;
She thinks dolls are folly;
As for me, my little brain
Isn't very bright;
Choose for me, old Santa Claus,
What you think is right.
We Three Kings of Orient Are
[John H. Hopkins, Jr., 1857]
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar.
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
Chorus
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.
Born a king on Bethlehem's plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign.
(Chorus)
Frankincense to offer have I.
Incense owns a Deity nigh.
Prayer and praising all men raising,
Worship Him, God on high.
(Chorus)
Myrrh is mine: Its bitter perfume
Breaths a life of gathering gloom.
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
(Chorus)
Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Sounds through the earth and skies.
(Chorus)
All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth
Every body stops
and stares at me
These two teeth are
gone as you can see
I don't know just who
to blame for this catastrophe!
But my one wish on Christmas Eve
is as plain as it can be!
All I want for Christmas
is my two front teeth,
my two front teeth,
see my two front teeth!
Gee, if I could only
have my two front teeth,
then I could with you
"Merry Christmas."
It seems so long since I could say,
"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!"
Gosh oh gee, how happy I'd be,
if I could only whistle (thhhh)
All I want for Christmas
is my two front teeth,
my two front teeth,
see my two front teeth.
Gee, if I could only
have my two front teeth,
then I could wish you
"Merry Christmas!"
Blue Christmas
B.Hayes, J.Johnson (c) 1948
I'll have a blue Christmas without you;
I'll be so blue thinking about you.
Decorations of red
on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing if
you're not here with me.
I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain;
And when that blue heartache starts hurting,
You'll be doing all right
with your Christmas of white,
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas.

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
from the film Meet Me In St. Louis
Hugh Martin, Ralph Blane 1943
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.
Here were are as in olden days,
happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
gather near to us once more.
Through the years we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
Here Comes Santa Claus
Gene Autry, Oakley Haldeman (c) 1947
Here comes Santa Claus!
Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
are pulling on the reins.
Bells are ringing, children singing;
All is merry and bright.
Hang your stockings and say your prayers,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.
Here comes Santa Claus!
Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
He's got a bag that is filled with toys
for the boys and girls again.
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,
What a beautiful sight.
Jump in bed, cover up your head,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.
Holly Jolly Christmas
Johnny Marks (c) 1972
Have a holly, jolly Christmas;
It's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow,
but have a cup of cheer.
Have a holly, jolly Christmas;
And when you walk down the street
Say Hello to friends you know
and everyone you meet.
Oh, ho, the mistletoe
hung where you can see;
Somebody waits for you;
Kiss her once for me.
Have a holly jolly Christmas,
and in case you didn't hear,
Oh by golly, have a holly,
jolly Christmas this year.
I'll Be Home for Christmas
Kim Gannon, Walter Kent (c) 1943
I'll be home for Christmas;
You can count on me.
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree.
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams.
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams.
Jingle Bell Rock
Bobby Helms
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air.
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell rock.
Let It Snow!
Sammy Cahn, Jule Styne (c) 1945
Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I brought some corn for popping;
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
When we finally say good night,
How I'll hate going out in the storm;
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,
But as long as you love me so.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
Rocking Around the Christmas Tree
Brenda Lee
Rocking around the Christmas tree
at the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
every couple tries to stop
Rocking around the Christmas tree,
let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
and we'll do some caroling.
You will get a sentimental
feeling when you hear
Voices singing let's be jolly,
deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rocking around the Christmas tree,
have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
in the new old-fashioned way.
Sleigh Ride
Mitchell Parish, Leroy Anderson 1948
Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing
Ring ting tingle-ing too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "You Hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap let's go
Let's look at the snow
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with the song
Of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together like two
Birds of a feather would be
Let's take the road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop
Pop! Pop! Pop!
There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives
The Wassail Song
Here we come a-wassailing
Among the leaves so green,
Here we come a wand'ring,
So fair to be seen.
Chorus
Love and joy come to you,
And to your wassail too,
And God bless you and send you a happy new year,
And God send you a happy new year.
We are not daily beggars
Who beg from door to door,
But we are neighbor's children
Whom you have seen before.
Chorus
Love and joy come to you,
And to your wassail too,
And God bless you and send you a happy new year,
And God send you a happy new year.
We have a little purse
Made of ratching leather skin;
We want some of your small change
To line it well within.
Chorus
Love and joy come to you,
And to your wassail too,
And God bless you and send you a happy new year,
And God send you a happy new year.
God bless the Master of this house,
Likewise the Mistress too;
And all the little children
That round the table go.
Chorus
Love and joy come to you,
And to your wassail too,
And God bless you and send you a happy new year,
And God send you a happy new year.
Winter Wonderland
Dick Smith, Felix Bernard 1934
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
in the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
we're happy tonight,
walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird,
here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
as we go along,
walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
we'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
when you're in town.
Later on, we'll conspire,
as we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
the plans that we've made,
walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
and pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
until the other kiddies knock him down.
When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
walking in a winter wonderland.
Walking in a winter wonderland,
walking in a winter wonderland.
Winter Wonderland (Or the un-traditional one for)
Lacy things -- the wife is missin',
Didn't ask -- her permission,
I'm wearin' her clothes,
Her silk pantyhose,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear.
In the store -- there's a teddy,
Little straps -- like spaghetti,
It holds me so tight,
Like handcuffs at night,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear.
In the office there's a guy named Melvin, He pretends that I am Murphy Brown.
He'll say, "Are you ready?" I'll say,"Whoa, Man!" "Let's wait until our wives are out of town!"
Later on, if you wanna,
We can dress -- like Madonna,
Put on some eyeshade,
And join the parade,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear!
Lacy things... missin',
Didn't ask... permission,
Wearin' her clothes,
Her silk pantyhose,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear,
Walkin' 'round in women's underwear!
The Holly and the Ivy
The holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown,
Of all the trees that are in the wood,
The holly bears the crown.
O the rising of the sun,
And the running of the deer,
The playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the choir.
The holly bears a blossom
As white as lily flower;
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet Savior.
The holly bears a berry
As red as any blood;
Any Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To do poor sinners good.
The holly bears a prickle
As sharp as any thorn;
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
On Christmas day in the morn.
The holly bears a bark
As bitter as any gall;
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
For to redeem us all.
The holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown,
Of all the trees that are in the wood,
The holly bears the crown.
Let There be Peace on Earth
Let there be peace on earth
and let it begin with me
Let There Be Peace on Earth
The peace that was meant to be
With God as our Father
Brothers all are we
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now.
With ev'ry step I take
Let this be my solemn vow;
To take each moment and live
Each moment in peace eternally
Let there be peace on earth
and let it begin with me
While Shepherds Watch Their Flocks
While Shepherds watch their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone arond
"Fear not," said he for mighty dread
had seized their troubled mind
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all man-kind"
"To you in David's town this day
Is born of David's line
The Savior who is Christ the Lord
And this shall me the sign
The heav'n'ly babe you there shall find
To human view displayed
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands
And in a manger laid"
Thus spoke the seraph and forth-with
Appeared a shiny throng
Of angels praising God who thus
Addressed their joyful song
"All glory be to God on high
And on the earth be peace
Goodwill hence-forth from heav'n to men
Begin and never cease"
I HEARD THE BELLS ON CHRISTMAS DAY
(Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
I thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along th' unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
And in despair I bowed my head
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men."
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, good will to men."
Till ringing, singing on its way
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
Nuttin' For Christmas
S. Tepper, R. Bennett (c) 1955
I broke my bat on Johnny's head;
Somebody snitched on me.
I hid a frog in sister's bed;
Somebody snitched on me.
I spilled some ink on Mommy's rug;
I made Tommy eat a bug;
Bought some gum with a penny slug;
Somebody snitched on me.
Oh, I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I'm getting nuttin' for Christmas
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad.
I put a tack on teacher's chair
somebody snitched on me.
I tied a knot in Susie's hair
somebody snitched on me.
I did a dance on Mommy's plants
climbed a tree and tore my pants
Filled the sugar bowl with ants
somebody snitched on me.
So, I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad.
I won't be seeing Santa Claus;
Somebody snitched on me.
He won't come visit me because
Somebody snitched on me.
Next year I'll be going straight;
Next year I'll be good, just wait
I'd start now, but it's too late;
Somebody snitched on me.
So you better be good whatever you do
'Cause if you're bad, I'm warning you,
You'll get nuttin' for Christmas.
Pine Cones And Holly Berries
Pine cones and Holly Berries
Popcorn for you, apples for me
Red striped candy, nut cracker handy
Kettle a-bubbleing hot as can be.
snow clouds hang low and threatening
Maybe in won't, praying it may
the brightest fireplace glows in every face
Waiting for Christmas day.
There'll be walk-a-round songs and
talk-a-round songs
Songs of the inn and stable.
There'll be morning time songs and
evening time songs
And grace at every table.
And Jingle bells will jingle all the way all day.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go;
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel,
One in the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring
is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart.
Sleep Well, Little Children
A.Bergman, L.Klatzkin (c) 1956
Sleep well, little children,
wherever you are;
Tomorrow is Christmas
beneath every star.
Soon the snowflakes will fall
and tomorrow you'll see
Every wish, one and all,
waiting under the tree.
Sleep well, little children,
pleasant dreams through the night;
Tomorrow is Christmas,
all merry and bright.
Soon you'll hear the bells ring,
time for dreams to come true
As the world wakes to bring
Merry Christmas to you.
A Baby Just Like You
John Denver, J. Henry (c) 1975
The season is upon us now
A time for gifts and giving
And as the year draws to its close
I think about my living
The Christmas time when I was young,
The magic and the wonder,
But colors dull and candles dim,
And dark my standing under
O little Zachary, shining light
You've set my soul to dreaming
You've given back my joy in life
And filled me with new meaning
A Savior King was born that day,
A baby just like you,
And as the Magi came with gifts,
I come with my gift too
That peace on Earth fills up your time,
That brotherhood surrounds you.
That you may know the warmth of love,
And wrap it all around you
It's just a wish, a dream I'm told
From days when I was young
Merry Christmas, little Zachary
Merry Christmas, everyone
Merry Christmas, little Zachary
Merry Christmas, everyone
Christmas Dinner
Paul Stookey, 1963
And it came to pass on a Christmas evening
While all the doors were shuttered tight
Outside standing, lonely boy-child
Cold and shivering in the night
On the street, every window
Save but one, was gleaming bright
And to this window walked the boy-child
Peeking in saw, candle light
Through other windows he had looked at turkeys
Ducks and geese, cherry pies
But through this window saw a grey-haired lady
Table bare and tears in her eyes
Into his coat reached the boy-child
Knowing well there was little there
He took from his pocket,
his own Christmas dinner
A bit of cheese, some bread to share
His outstretched hands
held the food and they trembled
As the door, it opened wide
Said he, Would you share with me Christmas dinner
Gently said she, Come inside
The grey-haired lady brought forth to the table
Glasses two and her last drop of wine
Said she, Here's a toast to everyone's Christmas
and especially, yours and mine
And it came to pass on that Christmas evening
While all the doors were shuttered tight
That in that town, the happiest Christmas
Was shared by candle light
Christmas For Cowboys
S. Weisberg (c) 1975
Tall in the saddle we spend Christmas day
Driving the cattle on the snow-covered plains.
All of the good gifts given today;
Ours is the sky and the wide open range.
Back in the cities, they have different ways,
Football and eggnog and Christmas parades.
I'll take the blanket; I'll take the reins;
Christmas for Cowboys and wide open plains.
A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night;
The stars overhead are the Christmas-tree lights.
The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray;
Christmas for Cowboys and the wide open plains.
It's tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day,
Driving the cattle on the snow-covered plains.
So many gifts have been opened today;
Ours is the sky and the wide open range.
It's Christmas for Cowboys and wide open plains.
Christmas In Killarney
The holly green, the ivy green
The prettiest picture you've ever seen
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home
It's nice, you know, to kiss your beau
While cuddling under the mistletoe
And Santa Claus you know, of course
Is one of the boys from home
The door is always open
The neighbors pay a call
And Father John before he's gone
Will bless the house and all
How grand it feels to click your heels
And join in the fun of the jigs and reels
I'm handing you no blarney
The likes you've never known
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home
It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
Eddie Pola, George Wyle 1963
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
With the kids jingle belling,
and everyone telling you,
"Be of good cheer,"
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
There'll be parties for hosting,
marshmallows for toasting and
caroling out in the snow.
there'll be scary ghost stories and
tales of the glories of Christmases
long, long ago.
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
There'll be much mistletoeing
and hearts will be glowing,
when loved ones are near.
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
THIS IS THAT TIME OF THE YEAR
1967 ForTe Music, Inc. & Edwin H. Morris & Co., Inc.
(Jack Jones and Chorus)
This is that time of the year,
A tinselly, glittery time;
Long distance calls to uncle and aunt,
On ev'ry corner you bump into Santa,
'Cause this is that time of the year,
A holly and jolly old time;
Windows are dressed in ribbons of silk,
And Junior drinks all of his milk!
Poppa . . . keeps buying presents
And sneaks them into the closet;
Momma . . . goes to the bank
But she holds out a dollar from ev'ry deposit;
'Cause this is that time of the year,
A silver bow, mistletoe time;
Spirits are high, good will and good cheer,
We're putting the tree up,
The kids shouldn't be up,
Saint Nick says, "Giddeyup!"
To Dasher, Dancer, Blitzen, Prancer;
This is that time of the year!
This is that time of the year,
A tinselly, glittery time;
Dumpling and goose and pudding and pie,
(Perfect excuse to go right off your diet!)
'Cause this is that time of the year,
A holly and jolly old time;
Snow on your roof, your face and your shoes,
And presents that you'll; never use!
Grandma . . . feels twenty-two so,
She dons her gayest apparel;
He stands at the spinet and sings ev'ry carol;
'Cause this is that time of the year,
A silver bow, mistletoe time;
Etc.
A baby changes everything.
Not a ring on her hand
All her dreams and all her plans
A baby changes everything
A baby changes everything.
The man she loves she's never touched
How will she keep his trust?
A baby changes everything
A baby changes everything.
And she cries, oh she cries
She has to leave, go far away
Heaven knows she can't stay
A baby changes everything
A baby changes everything.
She can feel it's coming soon
There's no place, there's no room
A baby changes everything
A baby changes everything.
And she cries and she cries
O she cries
A baby changes everything
A baby changes everything.
Shepherds all gather 'round
Up above, the star shines down
A baby changes everything
A baby changes everything.
Choir of Angels say
Glory to the newborn king
A baby changes everything
A baby changes everything
Everything, everything, every day.
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
My whole life is turned around
I was lost and now I'm found
A baby changes everything
A baby changes everything.
And as the year draws to its close
I think about my living.
The Christmas time when I was young
The magic and the wonder
But colors dull and candles dim
And dark my standing under.
O little Zachary, shining light
You've set my soul to dreaming
You've given back my joy in life
And filled me with new meaning.
A Savior King was born that day,
A baby just like you,
And as the Magi came with gifts
I come with my gift too.
That peace on Earth fills up your time
That brotherhood surrounds you
That you may know the warmth of love
And wrap it all around you.
It's just a wish, a dream I'm told
From days when I was young
Merry Christmas, little Zachary
Merry Christmas, everyone
Merry Christmas, little Zachary
Merry Christmas, everyone.
A Boy is Born in Bethlehem
Allelujah! Allelujah!
And joy is in Jerusalem

The ass and ox and all the herd

From East bring incense, myrrh, and gold

To hail the newborn King of Kings.
Alleluia!
He comes, a maiden mother's son
Yet earthly father hath He none
Alleluia!
And from the serpent's poison free
He owned our blood and pedigree
Alleluia!
Our feeble flesh and His the same
Our sinless kinsman He became
Alleluia!
That we, from deadly thrall set free
Like Him and so like God should be
Alleluia!
Come then and on this natal day
Rejoice before the Lord and pray.
Alleluia!
And to the Holy One in Three
Give praise and thanks eternally.

A Child this day is born
A Child of high renown
Most worthy of a sceptre
A sceptre and a crown.

While watching over their fold
Twas by an Angel unto them
That night revealed and told.

Was born on Christmas Day.

That sitteth still on high
With praises and with triumph great
And joyful melody.
Chorus

Glad tidings sing we may
Because the King of Kings
Was born on Christmas Day.
Strangers meet and they willingly surrender
Oh! What a Christmas to remember.
Almost went to Aspen, but something told me no
I considered Mammoth, but there wasn't enough snow
And I even thought of Gatlinburg, but that seemed so far to go
So I headed up to Tahoe for a Christmas on the slopes.
And I had fantasized about Christmas in this way
Curled up by a fireplace in a Tahoe ski chalet
With a fast talking lover and some slow burning wood
But even in my wildest dreams it never got this good.
You've made this a Christmas to remember
Springtime feelin' in the middle of December
Change the radio and I'll turn the lights down dimmer
Oh! What a Christmas to remember.
Strangers when we met, lovers as we leave
Christmas to remember, too good to believe
Don't know how or when, but I know we'll meet again
We'll come blowin' back to somewhere like some wild restless winter's wind.
And you've made this a Christmas to remember
Springtime feelin' in the middle of December
'Neath the mistletoe you kissed me warm and tender
Oh! What a Christmas to remember.
We loved and laughed and played and joked
Sang Christmas songs and talked to folks
Sleighed the fields and skied the slopes
Then to the lodge for dinner.
But now it's time for us to go
As our hearts melt like chimney snow
There's just one thing I want to know
Can we do this next winter?
Oh! What a Christmas to remember.
You've made this a Christmas to remember
Springtime feelin' in the middle of December
Though the fire is hot, we'll just have to let it simmer
Oh! What a Christmas to remember.
You've made this a Christmas to remember
Springtime feelin' in the middle of December
Though it's cold outside we'll just stroke the burning embers
Oh! What a Christmas to remember.
A day, a day of glory
A day that ends our woe
A day that tells of triumph
Against our vanquished foe
Yield, summer's brightest sunrise
To this December morn
Lift up your gates, ye princes
And let the Child be born
With Gloria in excelsis
Archangels tell their mirth
With Kyrie eleison
Men answer upon earth
And angels swell the triumph
And mortals raise the horn
Lift up your gates, ye princes
And let the Child be born.
He comes, His throne the manger
He comes, His shrine the stall
The ox and ass His courtiers
Who made and governs all
The "House of Bread" His birth-place
The Prince of wine and corn
Lift up your gates, ye princes
And let the Child be born.
Then bar the gates, that henceforth
None thus may passage win
Because the Prince of Israel
Alone hath entered in
The earth, the sky, the ocean
His glorious way adorn
Lift up your gates, ye princes
And let the Child be born.
Outside I hear the voices sing, the sweetest sounds of caroling
But somehow there's a sadness in the song
In our hearts we know that some thing's wrong.
Chorus
It's a different kind of Christmas
In a different kind of world
Even though it looks the same
Everything has changed
It's a different kind of Christmas.
Children opening gifts with wonder and surprise
I wish that I could still see through such innocent eyes
I used to feel so safe inside, I had a place to run and hide
In my daddy's arms I felt secure
No one can protect us anymore.
Chorus
It's a different kind of Christmas
In a different kind of world
Even though it looks the same
Everything has changed
It's a different kind of Christmas.
Sending cards that talk of peace and love and cheer
Oh that's what we need if we'd only believe
It would be.
Chorus
It's a different kind of Christmas
In a different kind of world
Even though it looks the same
Everything has changed
It's a different kind of Christmas.

See the people as they rush all around
Every store in the town
Selling toys to go under the tree
Every corner has a red-suited man
With a bell in his hand,
And the sights are something to see.
But beneath all the noise,
They can find the true meaning of Christmas
Jesus came to the earth, a gift from heaven above
Far beyond all the toys
They can find the true meaning of Christmas
Jesus came to the earth, with forgiveness and love
As a gift for all!
See the families as they all gather near,
Full of holiday cheer
As the lights flash bright red and green
Turkey, dressing, and some fresh apple pie
Put a gleam in your eye
It's more fun than you've ever seen.
But beneath all the noise,
We can find the true meaning of Christmas
Jesus came to the earth, a gift from heaven above
Far beyond all the toys
We can find the true meaning of Christmas
Jesus came to the earth, with forgiveness and love
As a gift for all!
Come, let me tell you of the One
From heaven above
Came as a humble child to Bethlehem
Thanks be unto Him
Tell of the One
From heaven above
Came to show Truth and Love in every way
Turn our darkness into Day
That's what Christmas truly means to me!
A great and mighty wonder
A full and holy cure
The Virgin bears the Infant
With virgin honor pure.
To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men!
The Word becomes incarnate
And yet remains on high
And cherubim sing anthems
To shepherds from the sky.
To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men!
While thus they sing your Monarch
Those bright angelic bands
Rejoice, ye vales and mountains
Ye oceans, clap your hands.
To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men!
Since all He comes to ransom
By all be He adored
The Infant born in Bethlehem
The Savior and the Lord.
To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men!
And idol forms shall perish
And error shall decay
And Christ shall wield His scepter
Our Lord and God for aye.
To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men!
The robots awake
To find that they've been taped down
Wondering when
They'll break through these chains
But, little boys have action toys for brains
I'm living proof it can last a long time.
Now, the girls off the street are innocent and sweet
When they're all in bed
They got their make-up and dreams of wonderland
Sprinkled inside their heads
And soon they will change
But tonight
Hollywood has never seemed so strange
Now, mothers pray it'll last a long time.
I want to roll around
Like a kid in the snow
I want to re-learn what I already know
Just let me take pride
Just to rev through the night
On a great big sled.
I want to wish you Merry Christmas
Ho Ho Ho.
Now, the boys are all grown up
And their working their fingers to the bone
They go around chasing them girls on the weekend
You know they still can't be alone
I've been racking my brain
With thoughts of peace and love
How on earth did we get so mixed up?
I pray to God it don't last a long time.
I want to roll around
Like a kid in the snow
I want to re-learn what I already know
Just let me take pride
Just to rev through the night
On a great big sled.
I hear the sound of bells
There's something on the roof
I wonder what this night will bring.
I want to roll around like a kid in the snow
(I hear the sound of bells)
I want to re-learn what I already know
(There's something on the roof)
Just let me take pride
(I wonder what this night will bring)
Just to rev through the night
On a great big sled.
I want to wish you Merry Christmas
(Can't do that)
I want to wish you Merry Christmas
(Can't do that).
Honey, it's cold outside
Pour another glass of wine
Light up the fireplace
The holiday starts right now
Make yourself slow down
Put on a happy face.
I don't want you to buy me nothin'
It's alright
Love's the only thing on my list
All I want is a kiss for Christmas
Honey, won't you give me a kiss for Christmas?
Darlin'.
Early on Christmas day
Everyone looks for love
Under the Christmas tree
And though you might think it's strange
I wanna tell you, my love
Don't buy a thing for me.
I don't want you to get me nothin'
It's alright
'Cause if I could just get my wish
All I want is a kiss for Christmas
Honey, won't you give me a kiss for Christmas?
Darlin'.
A kiss for Christmas is all that I want
Yeah
A kiss for Christmas
Don't make me wait for love
This Christmas all that I want is
A kiss for Christmas
Don't make me wait, love.
Don't make me wait, baby
Merry Christmas
Yeah
Come on
Yeah
Don't think about it, don't think about it.
All I want is a kiss for Christmas
Honey, won't you give me a kiss for Christmas?
Darlin'
All I want is a kiss for Christmas.
Honey, won't you give me a kiss for Christmas?
Darlin'
All I want is a kiss for Christmas
Honey, won't you give me a kiss for Christmas?

Callad mientras la cuna se balancea.

Ruisenor que en la selva

The Mighty God was still His Name
And angels worshiped as He lay
The seeming Infant of a day.
He Who, a little Child, began
The life divine to show to man
Proclaims from Heav'n the message free
"Let little children come to Me."
We bring them, Lord, and with the sign
Of sprinkled water name them Thine
Their souls with saving grace endow
Baptize them with Thy Spirit now.
O give Thine angels charge, good Lord
Them safely in Thy way to guard
Thy blessing on their lives command
And write their names upon Thy hand.
O Thou, who by an infant's tongue
Dost hear Thy perfect glory sung
May these, with all the heav'nly host
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
It's a marshmallow world in the winter,
When the snow comes to cover the ground,
It's the time for play, it's a whipped-cream day,
I wait for it the whole year round.
These marshmallow clouds being friendly,
In the arms of the evergreen trees,
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head,
It's shining, so your nose won't freeze.
The world is your snowball, see how it grows,
That's how it goes, whenever it snows,
The world is your snowball just for a song,
Get out and roll it along.
It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts,
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date, what if spring is late,
In winter, it's a marshmallow world
In winter, it's a marshmallow world.
In winter, it's a marshmallow world.

In a party or dinner for two
Anywhere would do
Celebrating the yuletide season
Always lights up our lives
Simple pleasures are made special too
When they're shared with you.
Looking through some old photographs
Faces and friends we'll always remember
Watching busy shoppers rushing about
In the cool breeze of December
Sparkling lights all over town
Children's carols in the air
By the Christmas tree
A shower of stardust on your hair.
I can't think of a better Christmas
Than my wish coming true
And my wish is that you'd let me spend
My whole life with you.
Looking through some old photographs
Faces and friends we'll always remember
Watching busy shoppers rushing about
In the cool breeze of December
Sparkling lights all over town
Children's carols in the air
By the Christmas tree
A shower of stardust on your hair.
I can't think of a better Christmas
Than my wish coming true
And my wish is that you'd let me spend
My whole life with you.
My idea of a perfect Christmas
Is spending it with you.
I had come down the chimney with presents to give
And to see just who in this home did live.
I looked all about, a strange sight I did see
No tinsel, no presents, not even a tree
No stocking by the mantle, just boots filled with sand
On the wall hung pictures of far distant lands.
With medals and badges, awards of all kinds
A sober thought came through my mind
For this house was different, it was dark and dreary
I found the home of a soldier, once I could see clearly.
The soldier lay sleeping, silent, alone
Curled up on the floor in this one bedroom home
The face was so gentle, the room in such disorder
Not how I pictured a United States soldier.
Was this the hero of whom I'd just read?
Curled up on a poncho, the floor for a bed?
I realized the families that I saw this night
Owed their lives to these soldiers who were willing to fight.
Soon round the world, the children would play
And grownups would celebrate a bright Christmas day
They all enjoyed freedom each month of the year
Because of the soldiers, like the one lying here.
I couldn't help wonder how many lay alone
On a cold Christmas Eve in a land far from home
The very thought brought a tear to my eye
I dropped to my knees and started to cry.
The soldier awakened and I heard a rough voice
"Santa don't cry, this life is my choice;
I fight for freedom, I don't ask for more
My life is my God, my country, My Corps".
The soldier rolled over and drifted to sleep
I couldn't control it, I continued to weep
I kept watch for hours, so silent and still
And we both shivered from the cold night's chill.
I didn't want to leave on that cold, dark night
This guardian of honor so willing to fight
The soldier rolled over, with a voice soft and pure
Whispered, "Carry on Santa, it's Christmas day, all is secure".
One look at my watch and I knew he was right
Merry Christmas my friend, and to all a good night.
Hang your favorite dream on a star
Wish upon it Christmas night
Sing about the better things
The friends we have, the joy they bring
Hang a dream upon a star and wish it Christmas night
Peace on earth we dream for the world
Time to love and time to share
We can wish for love in the world
Time to give and time to care.
On this day is born the child Jesus, Prince of Peace
Hear Him whisper in your heart
Let all hatred cease
His star will brighten the darkest night
To light your way if you believe
The love you seek will be in your heart
Ask and you'll receive
On this day will rise the morning sun
All the bells will ring
(ding dong ding dong)
Hope is born for peace throughout our land
Let Earth and heaven sing.
Sing a song and light up the lights
We need to make this Christmas bright
Hang your favorite dream on a star
Wish upon it Christmas night
Sing about the better things
The friends we have, the joy they bring
Hang a dream upon a star and wish it Christmas night
Peace on earth we dream for the world
Time to love and time to share
We can wish for love in the world
Time to give and time to care
Sing about the better things
The friends we have the happiness they bring
Sing a song of dreams come true and bless the new year, too.
Lalalala...
Adam lay ybounden
Bounden in a bond;
Four thousand winter,
Thought he not too long.
And all was for an apple
An apple that he took.
As clerkes finden,
Written in their book.
Ne had the apple taken been
The apple taken been,
Ne had never our ladie,
Abeen heav'ne queen.
Blessed be the time
That apple taken was,
Therefore we moun singen.
Deo gracias!
Venite, venite in Bethlehem
Natum videte, regem angelorum
Venite adoremus, venite adoremus
Venite adoremus, dominum.
Cantet nunc io, chorus angelorum
Cantet nunc aula caelestium
Gloria, gloria in excelsis Deo
Venite adoremus, venite adoremus
Venite adoremus, dominum.
Ergo qui natus, die hodierna
Jesu, tibi sit gloria
Patris aeterni, verbum caro factus
Venite adoremus, venite adoremus
Venite adoremus, dominum.
English
Oh come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
Oh come ye, Oh come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him, born the King of Angels
Oh come, let us adore Him
Oh come, let us adore Him
Oh come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord.
Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation
Oh Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to God in the highest
Oh come, let us adore Him
Oh come, let us adore Him
Oh come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord.
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning
Jesus, to Thee be all glory giving
Word of the Father now in flesh appearing
Oh come, let us adore Him
Oh come, let us adore Him
Oh come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord.
The bells will be ringing at Saint John the Divine
I get a little lonely every year around this time.
The music plays all night in Little Italy
The lights will be going up on old Rockefeller's tree
People window shopping on Fifth Avenue
All I want for Christmas is you.
I've got to know
Where do lonely hearts go?
Because nobody ought to be
All alone on Christmas.
Things are different since you've been here last
Childhood dreaming is a thing of the past
Maybe you can bring us some hope this year
Visions of sugar plums have disappeared.
Do you remember sleigh riding in the snow
And dancing all night to "Baby, Please Come Home"?
Today's celebration is bittersweet
There's mothers and children in the street.
I've got to know
Where do lonely hearts go?
Because nobody ought to be
All alone on Christmas.
I'm all grown up, but I'm the same you'll see
I'm writing this letter 'cause I still believe
Dear Santa, I've been good this year
Can't you stay a little while with me right here?
Tell me
I've got to know
Where do lonely hearts go?
Because nobody ought to be
All alone on Christmas.
Nobody ought to be
All alone on Christmas.
All hail to Thee, Immanuel
We cast our crowns before Thee
Let every heart obey Thy will
And every voice adore Thee
In praise to Thee, our Savior King
The vibrant chords of Heaven ring
And echo back the mighty strain:
All hail! All hail! All hail Immanuel!
Hail to the King we love so well!
Immanuel! Immanuel!
Hail to the King we love so well!
Immanuel! Immanuel!
Glory and honor and majesty
Wisdom and power be unto Thee
Now and evermore!
Hail to the King we love so well!
Immanuel! Immanuel!
Hail to the King we love so well!
Immanuel! Immanuel!
King of kings and Lord of lords
All hail, Immanuel!
All hail to Thee, Immanuel
The ransomed hosts surround Thee
And earthly monarchs clamor forth
Their sovereign King to crown Thee
While those redeemed in ages gone
Assembled round the great white throne
Break forth into immortal song:
All hail! All hail! All hail Immanuel!
Hail to the King we love so well!
Immanuel! Immanuel!
Hail to the King we love so well!
Immanuel! Immanuel!
Glory and honor and majesty
Wisdom and power be unto Thee
Now and evermore!
Hail to the King we love so well!
Immanuel! Immanuel!
Hail to the King we love so well!
Immanuel! Immanuel!
King of kings and Lord of lords
All hail, Immanuel!
All hail to Thee, Immanuel
Our risen King and Savior
Thy foes are vanquished
And Thou art omnipotent forever
Death, sin and hell no longer reign
And Satan's pow'r is burst in twain
Eternal glory to Thy Name:
All hail! All hail! All hail Immanuel!
Hail to the King we love so well!
Immanuel! Immanuel!
Hail to the King we love so well!
Immanuel! Immanuel!
Glory and honor and majesty
Wisdom and power be unto Thee
Now and evermore!
Hail to the King we love so well!
Immanuel! Immanuel!
Hail to the King we love so well!
Immanuel! Immanuel!
King of kings and Lord of lords
All hail, Immanuel!
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don't want a doll, no dinky tinker toy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy.
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door
That's the easy thing to do.
I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh, what joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there.
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too.
Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian
There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage
I'd feed him there and wash him there
And give him his massage.
I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise When I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there.
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles or rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too
All I want for Christmas is a real good tan
Take me to the islands, put my feet in the sand
Rocking to and fro with the rhythm of the ocean
Singin 'Silent Night' with the palm trees blowin'.
Ooooo, don't you think it's a pretty good plan?
All I want for Christmas is a real good tan.
Well, if you're thinkin' bout getting me a present this year
Let me put a bug in your cute little ear
How 'bout 2 tickets to a tropical shore
Where we don't have to wear these winter clothes anymore
Instead of turkey we'll have mahi-mahi grill
And Pina Coladas in the blender chillin'.
All I want for Christmas is a real good tan
Take me to the islands, put my feet in the sand
Rocking to and fro with the rhythm of the ocean
Singin 'Silent Night' with the palm trees blowin'.
Ooooo, don't you think it's a pretty good plan?
All I want for Christmas is a real good tan.
Well, everybody's praying for a Christmas so white
Come to think about it, that'd be alright
As long as it's sand and not snow on the ground
And everyday our skin gets a little more brown
We'll string some lights in a coconut tree
I'll rub some oil on you, and you can rub some on me.
All I want for Christmas is a real good tan
I can see us baby, on the beach hand in hand
Rockin' to and fro with the rhythm of the ocean
Baby, won't you say you and me we'll be going?
Ooooo, I can almost feel my toes in the sand
All I want for Christmas is a real good tan.
Don't worry baby, we'll celebrate plenty
I'll buy you some shades and a brand new bikini
We won't have to worry about the holiday rush
It'll be you and me fallin' deeper in love.
Ooooo, don't you think it's a pretty good plan?
All I want for Christmas is a real good tan.
All I want for Christmas is a real good tan..
Every body stops
And stares at me
These two teeth are gone
As you can see
I don't know just who
To blame for this catastrophe!
But my one wish on Christmas Eve
Is as plain as it can be!
All I want for Christmas
Is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
See my two front teeth!
Gee, if I could only
Have my two front teeth,
Then I could wish you
"Merry Christmas."
It seems so long since I could say
"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!"
Gosh oh gee, how happy I'd be,
If I could only whistle (thhhh, thhhh)
All I want for Christmas
Is my two front teeth,
My two front teeth,
See my two front teeth.
Gee, if I could only
Have my two front teeth,
Then I could wish you
"Merry Christmas!"

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true...
All I want for Christmas is
You... yea yea
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
(and I) Don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you...
You baby
Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
(and I) I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You baby.
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere (so brightly yea)
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing (oh yea)
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me?
Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh, I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby, all I want for Christmas is
You (You) baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby...
All I want for Christmas is you baby...
If I wrote a letter to Santa Claus
I would ask for just one thing.
I don't need sleigh rides in the snow
Don't want a Christmas that's blue
Take back the tinsel, stockings, and bows
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you.
I don't need expensive things
They don't matter to me
All that I want, can't be found
Underneath the Christmas tree.
You are the angel atop my tree
You are my dream come true
Santa can't bring me what I need
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you.
I don't need expensive things
They don't matter to me
All that I want, can't be found
Underneath the Christmas tree.
You are the angel atop my tree
You are my dream come true
Santa can't bring me what I need
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you
'Cause all I want for Christmas is you.
Angels and men rejoice
For tonight, darkness fell
Into the dawn of love's light
Sing a-le
Sing alleluia!
All is well
All is well
Let there be peace on earth
Christ is come, go and tell
That he is in the manger
Sing a-le
Sing alleluia!
All is well
All is well
Lift up your voices and sing
Born is now Emmanuel
Born is our Lord and Savior
Sing alleluia
Sing alleluia
All is well.
But you
Don't come around
And you don't call.
Well
It's just
Like the season
To be lonely
And my heart
Is beating
For you only.
Take my heart
This Christmas
And wrap it
In a ribbon
And a bow.
Yes
Take my heart
This Christmas
Take it
Wherever you go.
Everybody
Has someone to hold
Nestle by the fire
In from the cold.
But I don't hear
The carols
They're singing
And I've only
Got one thing good
For giving.
So, take my heart
This Christmas
And wrap it
In a ribbon
And a bow.
Yes
Take my heart
This Christmas
Take it
Wherever you go.
All my bells
Are ringing
Just for you
And I got
No desire
For someone new.
So, take my heart
This Christmas
And wrap it
In a ribbon
And a bow.
Yes
Take my heart
This Christmas
Take it
Where ever you go
Take it
Wherever you go.
All my heart this night rejoices,
As I hear, far and near, sweetest angel voices
"Christ is born", their choirs are singing
Till the air, everywhere, now their joy is ringing.
Forth today the Conqueror goeth
Who the foe, sin and woe, death and hell, o'er throweth
God is man, man to deliver
His dear Son now is one with our blood forever.
Shall we still dread God's displeasure,
Who, to save, freely gave His most cherished Treasure?
To redeem us, He hath given
His own Son from the throne of His might in Heaven.
Should He who Himself imparted
Aught withhold from the fold, leave us broken hearted?
Should the Son of God not love us,
Who, to cheer sufferers here, left His throne above us?
If our blessed Lord and Maker
Hated men, would He then be of flesh partaker?
If He in our woe delighted,
Would He bear all the care of our race benighted?
He becomes the Lamb that taketh
Sin away and for aye full atonement maketh
For our life His own He tenders
And our race, by His grace, meet for glory renders.
For it dawns, the promised morrow
Of His birth, Who the earth rescues from her sorrow.
God to wear our form descendeth
Of His grace to our race here His Son He sendeth.
Hark! a voice from yonder manger
Soft and sweet, doth entreat, "Flee from woe and danger
Brethren, come, from all that grieves you
You are freed, all you need I will surely give you".
Come, then, let us hasten yonder
Here let all, great and small, kneel in awe and wonder,
Love Him who with love is yearning
Hail the star that from far bright with hope is burning.
Blessed Savior, let me find Thee!
Keep Thou me close to Thee, cast me not behind Thee!
Life of life, my heart Thou stillest,
Calm I rest on Thy breast, all this void Thou fillest.
Thee, dear Lord, with heed I'll cherish;
Live to Thee and with Thee, dying, shall not perish
But shall dwell with Thee for ever,
Far on high, in the joy that can alter never.
Sleep my child and peace attend thee
All through the night.
Guardian angels God will send thee
All through the night.
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping
Hill and vale in slumber sleeping
I my loving vigil keeping
All through the night.
While the moon her watch is keeping
All through the night.
While the weary world is sleeping
All through the night.
O'er thy spirit gently stealing
Visions of delight revealing
Breathes a pure and holy feeling
All through the night.
Hark, a solemn bell is ringing
Clear through the night.
You, my love, are heav'nward winging,
Home through the night.
Earthly dust from off thee shaken
By good angels art though taken
Soul immortal shalt though waken
Home through the night.
Version 2
Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee
All through the night
Guardian angels God will send thee
All through the night.
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping
Hill and vale in slumber sleeping
Mother dear, her watch is keeping
All through the night.
God is here, thou'lt not be lonely
All through the night.
'Tis not I who guards thee only
All through the night.
Night's dark shades will soon be over
Still my watchful care shall hover
God with me his watch is keeping
All through the night.
And on the windowpane outside
A new world made of snow.
A million feathers falling down
A million stars that touch the ground
So many secrets to be found
Amid the falling snow.
Maybe I am falling down
Tell me should I touch the ground?
Maybe I won't make a sound
In the darkness all around.
The silence of a winter's night
Brings memories I hold inside
Remembering a blue moonlight
Upon the fallen snow.
Maybe I am falling down
Tell me should I touch the ground?
Maybe I won't make a sound
In the darkness all around.
I close my window to the night
I leave the sky her tears of white
And all is lit by candlelight
Amid the falling snow.
And all is lit by candlelight
Amid the falling snow.
And it brings back sweet memories
Dear to me
'Though it's faded and worn
It's as precious as the morn
When I found it
'Neath our first Christmas tree.
Chorus:
I thrill with every word, every line
Guess I'm always sentimental
'Round this time
Pardon me if a tear falls
Among my Christmas cheer
It's the memory
Of an old Christmas card.
Spoken:
You know
I don't know why
I get to feeling sentimental
About this time, every year;
But, every time I see a Christmas card,
I somehow can't help reminiscing
About the very first Christmas
That you and I spent together;
What a beautiful Christmas card
You gave me that year;
Why, I know you must have looked
Through thousands of cards
To find that wonderful poem
That still brings a tear to my eyes.
Chorus:
I thrill with every word, every line
Guess I'm always sentimental
'Round this time
Pardon me if a tear falls
Among my Christmas cheer
It's the memory
Of an old Christmas card.
Window's candlelight shining bright
For the whole world to see
Children's eyes of sweet expectations
Wondering what each present will hold
Lying in their beds and impatient
On long Christmas eves of old.
It used to be that all the family would gather for this one night
It used to be that special feeling shared together
Knowing Christmas was here one night a year.
How I miss that old fashioned Christmas!
Memories that last through the years
Call me sentimental, don't mind if you do
I wish an old fashioned Christmas to you!
We're here to sing you
Every little Christmas song we know.
So get ready
Close or open your windows
Take out or hide your money
Honey, we don't care
We're here to sing the staples
Old fashioned Christmas carols
Oh, here we go again.
Merry Christmas everybody
Happy new year too.
We'll sing of chestnuts roastin'
On a turtle doves comin' to town
We'll sing of building snowman
And pretending he's Jackson Browne.
Silver bells, silver bells
Silver all the way
What fun it is to give love
On a one horse Christmas day
It doesn't really matter
The former or the latter
Coz all we really wanna say is:
Merry Christmas everybody
Happy new year too.
Come, they told me the Lord has come
Let earth in heavenly peace
Whispering hope, never smoke dope
We'll go down in history
History...
We are the carol kings
And we like to thank you all
You've been so very kind
We hope that you'll have a Christmas ball.
We really have to go
Cos there's a dozen houses mo'
But next year we'll be knockin' on your door again
And soon we'll all be singin'
The same song that you're hearin'
Now people let me hear you sing:
Merry Christmas everybody
Happy new year too.
Family faces
Wide open spaces
Covered with snow.
Right now, my mom there in the kitchen
Basting the Christmas bird
You'll have to take my word
You can't find that at the automat.
An old fashioned fireplace
Give me an old fashioned fireplace
My heart remembers
Smoldering embers
Warming your glow.
I'd trade that whole Manhattan skyline
The shimmering steel and chrome,
For one old fashioned Christmas back home.
Angels from the realms of glory
Wing your flight o'er all the earth
Ye who sang creation's story
Now proclaim Messiah's birth
Come and worship
Come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King!
Shepherds, in the fields abiding
Watching o'er your flocks by night
God with man is now residing
Yonder shines the Infant light
Come and worship
Come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King!
Sages, leave your contemplations
Brighter visions beam afar
Seek the great desire of nations
Ye have seen His natal star
Come and worship
Come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King!
Saints before the altar bending
Watching long in hope and fear
Suddenly the Lord, descending
In His temple shall appear.
Come and worship,
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King!
Sinners, wrung with true repentance
Doomed for guilt to endless pains
Justice now revokes the sentence
Mercy calls you, break your chains
Come and worship
Come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King!
Though an Infant now we view Him
He shall fill His Father's throne
Gather all the nations to Him
Every knee shall then bow down.
Come and worship
Come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King!
All creation, join in praising
God, the Father, Spirit, Son
Evermore your voices raising
To the eternal Three in One
Come and worship
Come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King!
Take this man to prison, the man heard Herod say,
And then four squads of soldiers came and carried him away.
Chained up between two watchmen, Peter tried to sleep,
But beyond the walls an endless prayer was lifting for his keep.
Then a light cut through the darkness of a lonely prison cell,
And the chains that bound the man of God, just opened up and fell,
And running to his people before the break of day,
There was only one thing on his mind, only one thing to say:
Angels watching over me, every move I make,
Angels watching over me!
Angels watching over me, every step I take,
Angels watching over me!
God only knows the times my life was threatened just today
A reckless car ran out of gas before it ran my way
Near misses all around me, accidents unknown
Though I never see with human eyes the hands that lead me home
But I know they're all around me all day and through the night.
When the enemy is closing in, I know sometimes they fight
To keep my fight from falling, I'll never turn away
If you're asking whats protecting me, then you're gonna hear me say:
Got His angels watching over me, every move I make,
Angles watching over me!
Angels watching over me, every step I take,
Angels watching over me!
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me.
Got his angels watching over me, every move I make,
Angels watching over me!
Angels watching over me, every step I take,
Angels watching over me!
Angels watching over me,
Angels watching over me,
Angels watching over me,
Angels watching over me!
Though I never see with human eyes, the hands that lead me home.
All night, all day
Angels watching over me, my Lord
All night, all day
Angels watching over me.
Sun is a-setting in the west
Angels watching over me, my Lord
Sleep my child, take your rest
Angels watching over me.
All night, all day
Angels watching over me, my Lord
All night, all day,
Angels watching over me.
Angels we have heard on high
Singing sweetly through the night
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brave delight
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why these songs of happy cheer?
What great brightness did you see?
What glad tiding did you hear?
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the new-born King
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
See him in a manger laid
Whom the angels praise above
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
While we raise our hearts in love
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
'Cuz all the ones I dream about
You are the one that makes my love shout
You see, you are the only one I care for.
Remember the time
We swam naked in your father's pool?
Boy, he was upset that night
But boy, was that ever cool!
Remember that night
We played poker for money?
And you robbed me blind
Remember how you used to scream so loud
'Cuz you, you hated that number 9?
Hey, I saw your sister skatin'
On the lake this afternoon
Good heaven, how she's grown
She swoons the boy skaters, she's so tall.
But of all your father's children
All your father's children, baby
You know you are the finest of them all
You are brighter than the northern star.
And I, last night I spent another lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, you should've been there
You see, of all the ones I dream about
You are the one that makes my love shout
You see, you are the only one I care for, yeah.
My mama used to say, always trust your lover
But now I guess that only applies to her
Cuz baby, you promised me
Baby, you promised me you'd never leave
Then you died on the 25th day of December.
Oh baby, last night
Oh, I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darling, baby, you, you should've been there
'Cuz all the ones I dream about
You are the one that makes my love shout
You see, you are the only one I care for, yeah.
Your father said it was pneumonia
Your mother said it was stress
But the doctor said you were dead
And I, I say it's senseless
Every Christmas night for 7 years now
I drink banana daiquiris till I'm blind.
As long as I can hear you smiling, baby
You won't hear my tears
Another lonely Christmas is mine, yeah, mine, yeah
Another lonely Christmas is mine.
Last night, yeah, I spent another lonely, lonely Christmas
Darling, darling, you should've been there, yeah
'Cuz all the ones I dream about
You are the one that make my love shout
You see, you are the only one I care for.
Come on in
It's party time
Raise a glass for auld lang syne
Come on, rock it up for all mankind.
It's good to see friends I know
Kissing under the mistletoe
I love to hear the children sing
It looks like Santa's gonna bring:
Another Rock 'N' Roll Christmas
Another Christmas Rock 'N' Roll
Presents hanging from the tree
You'll never guess what you've got from me!
Another Rock 'N' Roll Christmas
Another Christmas Rock 'N' Roll
We better hold each other tight
You never know it might snow tonight.
Guys and girls
Stay up late
So excited
They can't wait.
Let there be peace on Earth
Come on, Rock 'N' Roll
For all you are worth.
We're gonna laugh (ha!)
We're gonna sing
We're gonna make the rafters ring!
I'll pull my cracker
Let me be the silver star upon your tree.
Another Rock 'N' Roll Christmas
Another Christmas Rock 'N' Roll
All dressed up
So here we go
Do I hear sleigh bells, in the snow?
Another Rock 'N' Roll Christmas
Another Christmas Rock 'N' Roll
Tonight old Santa never, ever stops
Going down the chimney tops.
You'll be rocking
In your stocking
When you see your big suprise
Cause I'll be rocking
In your stocking
You won't believe your big blue eyes.
Come on in and join the fun
It's Christmas time for everyone
May your days be merry and bright
Cause there ain't gonna be no silent night!
See the stars
Dance and sing
Come with me and see the new year in
No one's looking
Kiss me quick
Come on
Rock 'N' Roll for old Saint Nick.
Another Rock 'N' Roll Christmas
Another Christmas Rock 'N' Roll
Presents hanging from the tree
You'll never guess what you've got from me!
Another Rock 'N' Roll Christmas
Another Christmas Rock 'N' Roll
We better hold each other tight
You never know it might snow tonight.
Christmas! It's Christmas!
Another Rock 'N' Roll Christmas!
When this Word was clearly spoken
All that came to be was right.
All creation had a language
Words to say what must be said
All day long the heavens whispered
Signing words in scarlet red.
Some have failed to understand it
So God spoke His final Word
On a silent night in Judah's hills
A baby's cry was heard.
Glory! sang the angel chorus
Glory! echoed back the night
Love has come to walk among us
Christ the Lord is born this night.
All creation sing His praises
Earth and heaven praise His name
All who live come join the chorus
Find the words His love proclaim.
Find the words His love proclaim.

As lately we watch'd o'er our fields thro' the night
A star there was seen of such glorious light
All thro' the night, angels did sing
Carols so sweet of the birth of a King.
A King of such beauty was ne'er before seen,
And Mary His mother so like a queen
Blessed be the hour, welcome the morn,
For Christ our dear Saviour on earth now is born.
His throne is a manger, His court is a loft,
But troops of bright angels, in lays sweet and soft,
Him they proclaim, our Christ by name,
And earth, sky and air straight are filled with his fame.
Then shepherds, be joyful; salute your new King,
Let hills and vales ring to the song that ye sing
Blessed be the hour, welcome the morn,
For Christ our dear Saviour on earth now is born.
The one thing we're looking for
Is something we can't see
Far more precious than silver
And more splendid than gold
Is something to treasure
But is something we can't hold.
As long as there's Christmas
I truly believe
That hope is the greatest of the gifts
We'll receive
We'll receive.
As we all pray together
It's the time to rejoice
And though we may look different
We are singing with one voice.
As long as there's Christmas
I truly believe
That hope is the greatest of the gifts
We'll receive.
There is more
So much more
To this time of year
To this time of year
Than sleigh bells and holly
Mistletoes and snow
Those things will come and go
Come and go.
As long as there is Christmas
I truly do believe
That hope is the greatest of the gifts
We will receive
We'll receive.
As long as there's Christmas
I truly believe
I truly believe
That hope is the greatest of the gifts
We'll receive.
That hope is the greatest gift we'll receive!
As with gladness, men of old
Did the guiding star behold
As with joy they hailed its light
Leading onward, beaming bright
So, most glorious Lord, may we
Evermore be led to Thee.
As with joyful steps they sped
To that lowly manger bed
There to bend the knee before
Him Whom Heaven and earth adore
So may we with willing feet
Ever seek Thy mercy seat.
As they offered gifts most rare
At that manger rude and bare
So may we with holy joy
Pure and free from sin's alloy
All our costliest treasures bring
Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King.
Holy Jesus, every day
Keep us in the narrow way
And, when earthly things are past
Bring our ransomed souls at last
Where they need no star to guide
Where no clouds Thy glory hide.
In the heavenly country bright
Need they no created light
Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown
Thou its Sun which goes not down
There forever may we sing
Alleluias to our King!
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

Hail Mary
full of grace
the Lord is with thee
blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary
Mother of God
pray for us sinners now
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Away in a manger
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing
The poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes.
I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side
'Til morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray.
Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And take us to heaven
To live with Thee there.
I really can't stay
Baby, it's cold outside
I've got to go away
Baby, it's cold outside
This evening has been
Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice
I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry
Beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor
Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry
Beautiful, please don't hurry
Well, maybe just a half a drink more
Put some music on while I pour.
The neighbors might think
Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink?
No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no sir
Mind if I move a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
What's the sense in hurting my pride?
I really can't stay
Baby, don't hold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside.
C'mon baby
I simply must go
Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no
Ooh baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been
I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious
Man, your lips look so delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Gosh, your lips look delicious
Well, maybe just a half a drink more
Never such a blizzard before.
I've got to go home
Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your comb
It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand
Your eyes are like starlight now
But don't you see?
How can you do this thing to me
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Making my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay
Get over that cold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside
Baby, it's cold outside
Brr, its cold
It's cold out there
Cant you stay awhile longer baby?
Well, I really shouldn't, alright
Make it worth your while baby
Ahh, do that again.
(Christmas)
The snow's coming down
(Christmas)
I'm watching it fall
(Christmas)
Lots of people around
(Christmas)
Baby, please come home.
(Christmas)
The church bells in town
(Christmas)
All ringing in song
(Christmas)
Full of happy sounds
(Christmas)
Baby, please come home.
They're singing "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
'Cause I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year.
(Christmas)
Pretty lights on the tree
(Christmas)
I'm watching them shine
(Christmas)
You should be here with me
(Christmas)
Baby, please come home.
They're singing "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
'Cause I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year.
(Christmas)
If there was a way
(Christmas)
I'd hold back this tear
(Christmas)
But, it's Christmas day
(Please)
Please
(Please)
Please
(Please)
Please
(Please)
Please
Baby, please come home
(Christmas)
Baby, please come home
(Christmas)
Baby, please come home
(Christmas)
Baby, please come home.
Shoppin' all around
For every pretty toy.
Baby's big brother
Is busy with his toys
And he's shinin' up the chimney
For Santa Claus.
It's baby's first Christmas
It's somethin' to see
Mommy and Daddy
Trimmin' baby's Christmas tree.
It's a very special Christmas
A blessin' from above
It's baby's first Christmas
A Christmas full of love.
It's baby's first Christmas
And oh, what a joy
Shoppin' all around
For every pretty toy.
It's a very special Christmas
A blessing from above
It's baby's first Christmas
A Christmas full of love.
I haven't seen them in a while.
You've been good, busier than ever
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up, and I know why.
Because the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me roses, and I left them there to die.
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time.
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December all the time.
These days, I haven't been sleeping
Staying up, playing back myself leaving
When your birthday passed, and I didn't call.
Then I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side
And realized I loved you in the fall.
And then the cold came, the dark days
When fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love, and all I gave you was goodbye.
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time.
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time.
I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile
So good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night
The first time you ever saw me cry.
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right.
I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't
So if the chain is on your door, I understand.
This is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December.
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time, all the time.
As the echoes ring of the Christmas bells
Angel songs in our hearts resound again
Singing peace on earth and good will to men!
Chorus:
Bring pine and fir tree, weave the garlands bright
Gladden the temple of the King tonight!
Christmas is here! Fill it with cheer
Make it glorious with joy and light.
Bring good will to the suffering and sad
Speak the tender word that shall make them glad
Tell them how, o'er the hills of Bethlehem
When the angels sang, 'twas good news for them.
Chorus:
Bring pine and fir tree, weave the garlands bright
Gladden the temple of the King tonight!
Christmas is here! Fill it with cheer
Make it glorious with joy and light.
Peace on earth! bid all strife and tumult cease
For this night again gives the Lord His peace
While our hands shall His temple beautify
Carol, glory be unto God most high.
Chorus:
Bring pine and fir tree, weave the garlands bright
Gladden the temple of the King tonight!
Christmas is here! Fill it with cheer
Make it glorious with joy and light.
So glad hearts on this happy Christmas night
Bring your gifts of love, make His altar bright
Sing glad songs that shall sweetly sound as when
Angels sang of peace and good will to men.
Chorus:
Bring pine and fir tree, weave the garlands bright
Gladden the temple of the King tonight!
Christmas is here! Fill it with cheer
Make it glorious with joy and light.
Beautiful star of Bethlehem
Shining afar through shadows dim
Giving the light to those who long have gone
Guiding the Wise Men on their way
Unto the place where Jesus lay
Beautiful star of Bethlehem
Shine on (shine on).
Oh beautiful star (beautiful, beautiful star)
Of Bethlehem (star of Bethlehem)
Shine upon us until the glory dawns
Give us the light to light the way
Unto the land of perfect day
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem
Shine on (shine on).
Beautiful star, the hope of light
Guiding the pilgrims through the night
Over the mountains 'til the break of dawn
Into the light of perfect day
It will give out a lovely ray
Beautiful star of Bethlehem
Shine on (shine on).
Oh beautiful star (beautiful, beautiful star)
Of Bethlehem (star of Bethlehem)
Shine upon us until the glory dawns

Unto the land of perfect day

Beautiful star the hope of rest
For the redeemed, the good and the blessed
Yonder in glory when the crown is won

Oh beautiful star (beautiful, beautiful star)
Of Bethlehem (star of Bethlehem)
Shine upon us until the glory dawns
Give us the light to light the way

Tonight the stars shine for the children
And light the way for dreams to fly
Tonight our love comes wrapped in ribbons
The world is right and hopes are high.
And from a dark and frosted window
A child appears to search the sky
Because it's Christmas
Because it's Christmas.
Tonight belongs to all the children
Tonight their joy rings through the air
And so, we send our tender blessings
To all the children everywhere.
To see the smiles and hear the laughter
A time to give, a time to share
Because it's Christmas
Because it's Christmas.
For now and forever for all of the children
And for the children in us all.
Tonight belongs to all the children
Tonight their joy rings through the air
And so, we send our tender blessings
To all the children everywhere.
To see the smiles and hear the laughter
A time to give, a time to share
Because it's Christmas
For now and forever
For all of the children
And for the children in us all.
If my folks were wiser and older
They'd know kids and toys don't need sleep.
Don't be bad, little cotton dolly
See how nice Mickey Mouse sleeps now?
Even my brass drummer boy has stopped all his noise
Cause he knows it's past bedtime for toys.
Spoken:
You know, every Christmas
Santa Claus goes all over the world
With his reindeer, sled, and a big bag of toys
And he'll come to your house this year too.
But sometimes, just sometimes
He doesn't have enough time
To see every little boy and girl
Because the world is so big
So maybe we should sing a song
For all the children that Santa didn't visit.
Bless the child who has no tin soldier
No brass drummer boy to put to bed
He will still grow wiser and older
Loving one small rag doll instead.
He won't have a cotton dolly
Mickey Mouse won't come to his house
Hold that rag doll to your heart
Nothing can destroy the beauty
One shall find in one small toy.
Refrain:
Behold that star!
Behold that star up yonder
Behold that star!
It is the star of Bethlehem.
There was no room found in the inn
It is the star of Bethlehem
For Him who was born free from sin
It is the star of Bethlehem.
Refrain:
Behold that star!
Behold that star up yonder
Behold that star!
It is the star of Bethlehem.
The wise men traveled from the East
It is the star of Bethlehem
To worship Him, the Prince of Peace
It is the star of Bethlehem.
Refrain:
Behold that star!
Behold that star up yonder
Behold that star!
It is the star of Bethlehem.
A song broke forth upon the night
It is the star of Bethlehem
From angel hosts all robed in white
It is the star of Bethlehem.
Refrain:
Behold that star!
Behold that star up yonder
Behold that star!
It is the star of Bethlehem.
We were dreamers not so long ago
But one by one we all had to grow up
When it seems the magic's slipped away
We find it all again on Christmas day.
Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe.
Trains move quickly to their journey's end
Destinations are where we begin again
Ships go sailing far across the sea
Trusting starlight to get where they need to be
When it seems that we have lost our way
We find ourselves again on Christmas day.
Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe.
If you just believe
If you just believe
If you just believe
Just believe
Just believe.
My baby's gone
I have no friends
To wish me greetings
Once again
Choirs will be singing, "Silent Night"
Oh, Christmas carols, by candlelight.
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas, by New Year's Night.
Friends and relations
Send salutations
Just as sure as the stars shine above.
This is Christmas, Christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the one that you love.
Then will you tell me, you'll never more roam?
Christmas and New Year will find you home?
There'll be no more sorrow
No grief or pain
'Cause I'll be happy that it's Christmas once again.
Beautiful robes", said the young girl to Joseph,
Fair with her first-born on Bethlehem Down.
Bethlehem Down is full of the starlight,
Winds for the spices, and stars for the gold,
Mary for sleep, and for lullaby music,
Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem fold.
When He is King, they will clothe Him in grave-sheets,
Myrrh for embalming, and wood for a crown,
He that lies now in the white arms of Mary,
Sleeping so lightly on Bethlehem Down.
Here He has peace and a short while for dreaming,
Close-huddled oxen to keep him from cold,
Mary for love, and for lullaby music,
Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem Down.
Just a chance that maybe we'll find
Better days.
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find
Better days.
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night
The world begins again.
And it's someplace simple
Where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace
While we're alive
And the one poor Child that saved this world
And there's 10 million more
Who probably could
If we all just stopped
And said a prayer for them.
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night
The world begins again.
I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find
Better days.
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night
The world begins again
Cuz tonight's the night
The world begins again.
In the little village of Bethlehem
There lay a Child one day
And the sky was bright
With a holy light
O'er the place where Jesus lay.
Alleluia!
O, how the angels sang!
Alleluia
How it rang!
And the sky was bright
With a holy light
'Twas the birthday of a King.
Humble birthplace
But Oh!
How much God gave to us that day!
From the manger bed what a path has led
What a perfect holy way!
Alleluia!
O how the angels sang!
Alleluia
How it rang!
And the sky was bright
With a Holy light
'Twas the birthday of a King.
And too far to go home
I ran in to a friend of a friend
Standing in checkout line
She said, "I've spent too much already
And there's gifts I just can't find"
I walked her home and when she opened up her door
I'm not sure what happened then
Guess magic took it's course.
Blame it on the mistletoe
'Cause what happened here nobody knows
How could something simple as a kiss
Change my holiday like this
And we held each other all night long
And we fell asleep to a Christmas song
Playin' on the radio
Blame it on the mistletoe.
I woke up, she was wrappin' gifts beneath the tree
She said, "I know it's early, so I thought I'd let you sleep"
Then she insisted I get up and take a look outside
Hey sleepyhead, it must have snowed at least a foot last night
That's when I saw it hangin' up above my head
She threw her arms around my neck
Laughin' as she said
"Blame it on the mistletoe."
'Cause what happened here nobody knows
How could something simple as a kiss
Change my holiday like this
And we held each other all night long
And we fell asleep to a Christmas song
Playin' on the radio
Blame it on the mistletoe.
Born He was of her body
Very God ere time began
Born in time the Son of man.
Chorus:
Eya! Ihesus hodie
Natus est de Virgine.
In a manger of an ass
Jesus lay and lulled was
Born to die upon the Tree
Pro peccante homine.
Chorus:
Eya! Ihesus hodie
Natus est de Virgine.
Sweet and blissful was the song
Changed of the Angel throng
"Peace on earth," Alleluya
In excelsis gloria.
Chorus:
Eya! Ihesus hodie
Natus est de Virgine.
Fare three Kings from far-off land
Incense, gold and myrrh in hand
In Bethlehem the Babe they see
Stelle ducti lumine.
Chorus:
Eya! Ihesus hodie
Natus est de Virgine.
Make we merry on this fest
In quo Christus natus est
On this Child I pray you call
To assoil and save us all.
Chorus:
Eya! Ihesus hodie
Natus est de Virgine.
I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue
Thinking about you
Decorations of red
On a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing
If you're not here with me.
I'll have a blue Christmas,
That's certain
And when that blue heartache
Starts hurting
You'll be doing all right
With your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas.
The boar's head in hand bring I
Bedeck'd with bays and rosemary.
I pray you, my masters, be merry
Quot estis in convivio.
Caput apri defero
Reddens laudes Domino.
The boar's head, as I understand
Is the rarest dish in all this land
Which thus bedeck'd with a gay garland
Let us servire cantico.
Caput apri defero
Reddens laudes Domino
Our steward hath provided this
In honor of the King of Bliss;
Which, on this day to be served is
In Reginensi atrio.
Caput apri defero
Reddens laudes Domino.
He's got rhythm in his feet
But nothing in the sack.
The boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa
Comes to town every Christmas day.
Well he lives up in a mountain
Like a hermit in the cave
He never had a haircut
He never took a shave.
The boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa
Comes this time every Christmas day.
Well it's rock rock rock Mr. Santa
Jump jump jump Mr. Santa
Well, the boogie woogie Santa
Will boogie all your blues away.
Got no presents for your tree
No candy for your socks
When he starts to boogie
The whole town rocks.
Mama, get your hat
Put your best dress on
We're gonna jump for joy
On the Christmas morn
The boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa Boogie all your blues away.
Well it's rock rock rock Mr. Santa
Jump jump jump Mr. Santa Claus
Well, the boogie woogie Santa
Will boogie all your blues away.
Away in a manger, you heard a baby cry
It was the cry of the Son of God
A little baby boy
Born in that manger to bring the world joy.
So hush up little baby
You know not what you'll do
You'll bring the world peace and love
And teach them while you do
You have nothing to fear
Because you know
God is with you all the way
That little important baby
Born on Christmas day.
Many people soon gathered
Round that tiny run down barn
They knew not of what they saw
Then came three all dressed
In fancy robes, silks and furs
This was the first indication
Of the importance of his birth.
So hush up little baby
You know not what you'll do
You'll bring the world peace and love
And teach them while you do
You have nothing to fear
Because you know
That God will lead the way
That little important baby
Born on Christmas day.
We expected a soldier to save us from our plight
All dressed in shiny armor, ready for a fight
But instead He sent a little baby boy
All filled with love and happiness
To bring the world joy.
So hush up little baby
You know not what you'll do
You'll bring the world peace and love
And teach them while you do
You have nothing to fear
Because you know
That God will lead the way
That little important baby
Born on Christmas day.
That God will lead the way
That little important baby
Born on Christmas day
That little important baby
Born on Christmas day.
But a star in the Heavens, a sign full of wonder
Announcing the coming of the King of kings.
Rejoice, o world, your Savior has come
Through the love of a virgin's womb
Son of God, Son of man, born that we may have life
You were born that we may have life.
A throne in a manger, the cross in a cradle
The hidden revealing this glorious plan
Of a Child who would suffer, a Child who would conquer
The sin of every woman, the sin of every man.
Rejoice, o world, your Savior has come
Through the love of a virgin's womb
Son of God, son of man, born that we may have life
You were born that we may have life.
Rejoice, o world, your Savior has come
Through the love of a virgin's womb
Son of God, Son of man
You were born that we may have life.
Rejoice, o world, your Savior has come
Through the love of a virgin's womb
Son of God, Son of man, born that we may have life
You were born that we may have life
You were born that we may have life.
Rejoice, o world, rejoice
Rejoice, o world, Hallelujah, the Savior has come
Rejoice, o world, join with the angels
Rejoice, o world, rejoice.
Rejoice, o world, for the King of kings
And the Lord of lords
Rejoice, o world, a Savior is born
Who brings us life and brings peace.
Born that we may have life
You were born that we may have life
You were born that we may have life.
Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light
And usher in the morning
O shepherds, shrink not with afright
But hear the angel's warning.
This Child, now weak in infancy
Our confidence and joy shall be
The power of Satan breaking
Our peace eternal making.
All blessing, thanks and praise to thee
Lord Jesus Christ, be given
Thou hast our Brother deigned to be
Our foes in sunder riven.
O grant us through our day of grace
With constant praise to seek Thy face
Grant us ere long in glory
With praises to adore thee.
I have traveled many moonless nights
Cold and weary with a babe inside
And I wonder what I've done
Holy Father, You have come
And chosen me now to carry Your Son.
I am waiting in a silent prayer
I am frightened by the load I bear
In a world as cold as stone
Must I walk this path alone?
Be with me now.
Be with me now.
Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me Your holiness
For You are holy
Breath of heaven.
Do you wonder as You watch my face
If a wiser one should have had my place?
But I offer all I am
For the mercy of Your plan
Help me be strong
Help me be
Help me.
Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me Your holiness
For You are holy.
Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me Your holiness
For You are holy
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven.
Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
Dawn on our darkness and lend us Thine aid
Star of the East, the horizon adorning
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
Cold on His cradle the dewdrops are shining
Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall
Angels adore Him in slumber reclining
Maker and Monarch and Savior of all.
Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion
Odors of Edom and offerings divine?
Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean
Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?
Vainly we offer each ample oblation
Vainly with gifts would His favor secure
Richer by far is the heart's adoration
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.
Bring a torch, Jeannette, Isabella
Bring a torch, come swiftly and run
Christ is born, tell the folk of the village
Jesus is sleeping in His cradle
Ah, ah, beautiful is the Mother
Ah, ah, beautiful is her Son.
It is wrong when the Child is sleeping
It is wrong to talk so loud
Silence all, as you gather around
Lest your noise should waken Jesus
Hush! hush! see how fast He slumbers
Hush! hush! see how fast He sleeps.
Hasten now, good folk of the village
Hasten now, the Christ-Child to see
You will find him asleep in the manger
Quietly come and whisper softly
Hush, hush, peacefully now He slumbers
Hush, hush, peacefully now He sleeps.
Softly to the little stable
Softly for a moment come
Look and see how charming is Jesus
How He is white, His cheeks are rosy
Hush! hush! see how the Child is sleeping
Hush! hush! see how He smiles in his dreams.
There's one big thing I missed
You see my Daddy's working
Far away from here
And I know Santa
I asked for a Barbie doll
And a brand new soccer ball
But I'd trade it all
For just one gift this year.
Bring him home Santa
Bring him home to Mom and me
Let us wake up Christmas morning
And find him standing by our tree
You can pick him up on your way
He could ride there in your sleigh
Don't make him spend Christmas all alone
Bring him home.
And Santa
Here's a picture that I drew
Of him in his dress blues
Mama says
Our country needs him over there
And you know Santa
This whole year I've been good
And I was hoping that you would
Do all you could to answer my prayer.
Bring him home Santa
Bring him home to Mom and me
Let us wake up Christmas morning
And find him standing by our tree
You can pick him up on your way
He could ride there in your sleigh
Don't make him spend Christmas all alone
Bring him home.
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.
Buon Natale to everyone
Happy new year and lots of fun
Buon Natale
May all your wishes come true
Buon Natale in Italy means
"A Merry Christmas to you".
Far away across the sea
In sunny Italy
There's a quaint little town
Not a clock has been wound
For over a century.
They don't know the time or year
And no one seems to care
And this is the reason
The Christmas season
Is celebrated all year.
Buon Natale means
Merry Christmas to you
Buon Natale to everyone
Happy New Year and lots of fun
Buon Natale
May all your wishes come true
Buon Natale in Italy means
"A Merry Christmas to you".
The winter season of the year
When to this world our Lord was born
The ox and donkey, so they say
Did keep his holy presence warm.
How many oxen and donkeys now
If they were there when first he came
How many oxen and donkeys you know
At such a time would do the same?
And on that night it has been told
These humble beasts so rough and rude
Throughout the night of holy birth
Drank no water, ate no food.
How many oxen and donkeys now
If they were there when first he came
How many oxen and donkeys you know
At such a time would do the same?
As soon as to these humble beasts
Appeared our Lord, so mild and sweet
With joy they knelt before his Grace
And gently kissed His tiny feet.
How many oxen and donkeys now
If they were there when first he came
How many oxen and donkeys you know
At such a time would do the same?
When I was but a youngster
Christmas meant one thing
That I'd be getting lots of toys that day
I learned a whole lot different,
When my Mother sat me down,
And taught me to spell Christmas this way:
"C" is for the Christ child, born upon this day,
"H" for herald angels in the night,
"R" means our Redeemer,
"I" means Israel,
"S" is for the star that shone so bright,
"T" is for three wise men, they who traveled far,
"M" is for the manger where he lay,
"A" is for all He stands for,
"S" means shepherds came.
And that's why there's a Christmas day,
And that's why there's a Christmas day.
Wonder who could that be in your stockin'
Suit of red and cheeks of cherry
Lookin' extraordinary
Spare me cause you scare with your gawkin'
Hold your applause
Pick up your jaws
Call me Claus, hoah!
I got the spirit of the season in me
Spreadin' joy and toys a'plenty
Nimbly down your chimney I'll be bumpin'
Give me room 'cause I'm a packin'
Only time for toys and snackin'
Love to stay here yackin'
But I'm humpin'
I got a cause
No time to pause
They call me Claus.
Woah, call me Santa
Call me Kringle
Call me Old Saint Nick
All those have a beautiful ring
Pleasin' is the reason
And the season's a kick
When you're Santa
Baby, you gotta swing
Swing, I dare ya, yeah!
Hey, call me Santa
Call me Kringle
Call me Old Saint Nick
All those have a beautiful ring
Pleasin' is the reason
And the season's a kick
When you're Santa
Baby, you gotta swing.
So while in your jammies sleepin'
Roof to roof I'll be a leapin'
Quickly if your creepin' for a peepin'.
The oohs and aahs
Are all because
They call me Claus.
Hold your applause
Hey, watch the paws
They call me Claus.
Draughty stable with an open door
Mary cradling the babe she bore
The prince of glory is his name.
Refrain:
Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem
To see the Lord appear to men
Just as poor as was the stable then
The prince of glory when he came.
Star of silver sweeps across the skies
Show where Jesus in the manger lies
Shepherds swiftly from your stupor rise
To see the Saviour of the world.
Refrain:
Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem
To see the Lord appear to men
Just as poor as was the stable then
The prince of glory when he came.
Mine are riches from thy poverty
From thine innocence, eternity
Mine, forgiveness by thy death for me
Child of sorrow, for my joy.
Refrain:
Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem
To see the Lord appear to men
Just as poor as was the stable then
The prince of glory when he came.
Angels, sing again the song you sang
Bring God's glory to the heart of man
Sing, "Bethlehem's little baby can
Be salvation to the soul."
Refrain:
Oh, now carry me to Bethlehem
To see the Lord appear to men
Just as poor as was the stable then
The prince of glory when he came.
How do you count all the stars in the sky?
How can you measure the love of a mother?
Or how can you write down a baby's first cry?
Candlelight, angel light, firelight and star-glow
Shine on His cradle till breaking of dawn
Gloria, gloria in excelsis Deo!
Angels are singing; the Christ Child is born.
Shepherds and wise men will kneel and adore Him
Seraphim round Him their vigil will keep;
Nations proclaim Him their Lord and their Saviour
But Mary will hold Him and sing Him to sleep
Candlelight, angel light, firelight and star-glow
Shine on His cradle till breaking of dawn
Gloria, gloria in excelsis Deo!
Angels are singing; the Christ Child is born.
Find him at Bethlehem laid in a manger
Christ our Redeemer asleep in the hay
Godhead incarnate and hope of salvation
A Child with His mother that first Christmas Day
Candlelight, angel light, firelight and star-glow
Shine on His cradle till breaking of dawn
Gloria, gloria in excelsis Deo!
Angels are singing; the Christ Child is born.
Don't you know your name, girl?
Twelve people gonna ask you just the same, girl
What a world
Christmas once a year, girl
That's three hundred and sixty four tears, girl.
So when Christmas finally comes
And nobody's got a gun
And you think it might be fun
To hang around
Think again girl.
Why don't you open me up, huh?
Candy Cane Boy
Don't you know your name, boy?
Nine people gonna tell you just the same, boy
You're alone, son
In the middle of a million
And nobody knows how to talk to children.
Oh, when Christmas finally comes
And nobody's got a gun
And you think it might be fun
To get a new toy
Think again boy.
Oh, when Christmas finally comes
And no one's got a gun
And you think it might be fun
To make a stand
Think again man.
Can't believe it's Christmas
My favorite time of year!
Percy: I can't believe it's Christmas!
Been dreaming of a sugar plum thing
Can't believe it's Christmas
Oh, boy! It's finally here!
Dinkletown children: Ho, ho! Away we go!
With rosy cheeks and hearts a glowin'
Hey, hey! Our favorite day!
It makes us want to cheer!
Percy: Yo, ho! We love the snow!
Li'l Pea: At least we know we won't be mowing!
Dinkletown children: Ya, hey! We're glad to say
That Christmas time is here!
We can't believe it's Christmas!
Been waiting for a million hours
Can't believe it's Christmas
Oh what a nifty day!
We can't believe it's Christmas!
Lenny: Took 14,018 showers!
Dinkletown children: Can't believe it's Christmas!
And now it's time to play!

Our favorite time of year!
We can't believe it's Christmas!
Been dreaming of a sugar-plum thing.
Can't believe it's Christmas
Oh, boy! It's finally.
George: Oy, my spine-ly!
Dinkletown children: Boy, it's finally here!
Can't stop the sun from shining
Until the day turns into night.
All over the world
They try to steal our joy
But our spirit can't be broken
Every man and woman, girl or boy.
Can't stop the joy
Can't stop the reason
Christmas lives inside of us
From season to season.
Can't stop the pain
Of all the hatred in the world
There'll be no hate, no war
In God we'll trust
And peace on earth.
Cause you can't stop Christmas
There's a feeling we share
We never knew it, but it always was there
For united we will stand
Brother to brother, hand in hand.
With one song, one dream, one prayer
Let your voice be heard
For His blessings surround us
All across the world.
Can't stop the joy
Can't stop the reason
Christmas lives inside of us
From season to season.
Can't stop the pain
Of all the hated in the world
There'll be no hate, no war
In God we'll trust
And peace on earth
Cause you can't stop Christmas.
Reach out for those in need
For that magic of Christmas
Is to give and to believe.
Can't stop the joy
Can't stop the reason
Christmas lives inside of us
From season to season.
The birds came from afar
In that full might of a glory.
With one melodious voice
They sweetly did rejoice
And sang the wondrous story.
Sang, praising God on high
Enthroned above the sky
And his fair mother Mary.
The eagle left his lair
Came winging through the air
His message loud arising.
And to his joyous cry
The sparrow made reply
His answer sweetly voicing.
Overcome are death and strife
This night is born new life
The robin sang rejoicing.
When rose the eastern star
The birds came from afar.
Catalonian: El Cant dels Ocells
En veure despuntar
El major illuminar
En la nit mes joiosa;
Els ocellettes cantant a festejarlo van,
Amb sa veu melindrosa
Els a celletes cantant
A festejarlo van
Amb sa veu melindrosa.
L'ocell rei d'espai
Va pels aires volant
Cantant amb melodia
Dient: Jesus es nat
Per treure'ns del pecat
I darnos alegria
Dient: Jesus es nat
Per treure'ns del pacat
I darnos alegria.
Respont-il el pardal:
Esta nit es Nadal
I es nit de gran contento
El verdum i el lluer
Diuen, cantant tambe:
O, quina alegria sento
El verdum i el lluer
Diuen, cantant tambe:
O, quina alegria sento.
Cantava la perdiu:
Me'n vaig a fer el niu
Dins d'aguella establiam
Per voure l'Infant
Com esta tremolant
En bracos de Maria
Per voure L'Infant
En bracos de Maria.

Caroling, caroling, now we go
Christmas bells are ringing
Caroling, caroling through the snow
Christmas bells are ringing.
Joyous voices sweet and clear
Sing the sad of heart to cheer
Ding dong, ding dong
Christmas bells are ringing.
Caroling, caroling through the town
Christmas bells are ringing
Caroling, caroling up and down
Christmas bells are ringing.
Mark ye well the song we sing
Gladsome tidings now we bring

Sing we all this happy morn
"Lo, the King of heaven is born!"
Ding dong, ding dong

Oh, you sweet thing
Do I what?
Will I what?
Oh baby, you know what I like.
Chorus:
Chantilly lace and a pretty face
And a pony tail hanging down
A wiggle in the walk
And giggle in the talk
Makes the world go round.
There ain't nothing in the world
Like a big eyed girl
That makes me act so funny
Make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose
Like a long necked goose
Like a girl, oh baby, that's what I like.
What's that baby?
But, but, but
Oh honey
But, oh baby you know what I like.

Pick you up at 8 and don't be late?
But baby I ain't got no money, honey
Hahahahaha
Oh alright honey, you know what I like.

Come on and play my music
Let's turn on the love light in the place.
It's time I found myself
Totally surrounded in your circles
Whoa, my friends.
Please celebrate me home
Give me a number
Please celebrate me home
Play me one more song
That I'll always remember
And I can recall
Whenever I find myself too all alone
I can sing me home.
Uneasy highway
Traveling where the Westerly winds can fly
Somebody tried to tell me
But the men forgot to tell me why.
I gotta count on being gone
Come on woman, come on daddy
Be what you want from me
I'm this strong, I'll be weak.
Please celebrate me home
Give me a number
Please celebrate me home
Play me one more song
That I'll always remember
I can recall
Whenever I find myself too all alone
I can make believe I've never gone
I never know where I belong
Sing me home.
Please celebrate me home
Give me a number
Please celebrate me home
Play me one more song.
Celebrate, celebrate
Celebrate, celebrate
Celebrate, celebrate
Celebrate me home.
Please celebrate me home

Well I'm finally here
But I'm bound to roam
Come on celebrate me home
Well I'm finally here

Come on celebrate me home

Joseph was an old man
An old man was he
He wedded Virgin Mary
The Queen of Galilee
The Queen of Galilee.
As Joseph and Mary
Walked through an orchard green
There were apples and cherries
Plenty to be seen.
Mary spoke to Joseph
So meek and so mild
"Joseph, gather me some cherries
For I am with child."
Then Joseph flew in anger
In anger he flew
"Let the father of the baby
Gather cherries for you."
Jesus spoke a few words
And a very few words spoke he
"My mother wants some cherries
Bend over, cherry tree!"
The cherry tree bowed down
It was low to the ground
And Mary gathered cherries
While Joseph stood around.
Then Joseph took Mary
All on his left knee
Saying," Lord have mercy upon me
For what I have done."
Then Joseph took Mary
All on his right knee
"Pray tell me, little baby
When your birthday shall be?"
"On the sixth day of January
My birthday shall be
When the stars and the elements
Shall tremble with fear."
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way
He's bringing lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you.

All of Santa's reindeer pull his sleigh
And that's their claim to fame
But in Santa's house
There lives a little mouse
And Chrissy is her name.
Oh Chrissy, the Christmas mouse
Lives in the middle of Santa's house
And all day long she would romp and play
And help Santa load his Christmas sleigh.
Now the story goes that Chrissy's nose
Was also big and bright
But we all know she did not go
On that famous ride that night.
Christmas day found her sad and blue
And Santa said, "What's wrong with you?"
She said, "I'm here all alone each day
While you're out riding in your Christmas sleigh."
Oh Chrissy, the Christmas mouse
Lives in the middle of Santa's house
And all day long she would romp and play
And help Santa load his Christmas sleigh.
Now every day she would beg and plead
With Santa and his wife
"Oh Santa, Santa", Chrissy said
"Please let me ride upon your Christmas sled."
And Santa said to Mrs. Claus
"Did Chrissy finish all her chores?"
"She cleaned her room, and made her bed
Please let her ride in your Christmas sled."
Oh Chrissy, the Christmas mouse
Lives in the middle of Santa's house
And all day long she would romp and play
And help Santa load his Christmas sleigh.
Now on Christmas eve when the moon is high
And the children are all in bed
Just look above and see our love
Riding in Santa's sled.
Oh Chrissy, the Christmas mouse
Lives in the middle of Santa's house
She's so happy on Christmas day
Because she rides on Santa's sleigh.
"Merry Christmas everybody!"
"Merry Christmas!" "Yeah!"
Hear Him crying
In the manger
King of Heaven
Son of God
Alleluia, Alleluia!
There He lies
There with the lambkin
Only swaddle for His garment
With His Holy Mother Mary
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Glory, Glory to almighty God
And on earth peace to all men
Hear the joyful angels singing
Alleluia, Alleluia!
He is born
Let us adore him
Christ the Lord
King of Kings
Prince of Peace
For all the universe
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Christ is born! Christ is Born!
Ring the news on Christmas morn
Mary's Son! Mary's Son!
Come and laud Him, every one.
"Glory unto God on high"
Joyful Angels make reply.

Guides the wise men from afar
Now it stays! Now it stays!
In the manger offer praise.

Joyful Angels make reply.
Shepherds go! Shepherds go!

You shall find! You shall find!
Mary's Babe, Lord of mankind.
"Glory unto God on high"
Joyful Angels make reply.

Heralds in the Virgin birth.
Give God thanks! Give God thanks!
Now we join the heavenly ranks.
"Glory unto God on high"
Joyful Angels make reply.
Christ, by highest heaven adored
Christ, the everlasting lord
Late in time behold him come
Offspring of a virgin's womb.
Veiled in flesh the godhead see
Hail the incarnate deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel.
Come, desire of nations come
Fix in us thy humble home
Rise, the woman's conquering seed
Bruise in us the serpent's head.
Adam's likeness, Lord efface
Stamp thy image in its place
Second Adam, from above
Reinstate us in thy love.
Hail, the heaven born Prince of peace!
Hail, the son of righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings
Ris'n with healing in his wings.
Mild he lays his glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth.
Wreathe the holly, twine the hay;
Christus natus hodie;
The Babe, The Son, the Holy One of Mary.
He is born to set us free,
He is born our Lord to be,
Ex Maria Virgine,
The God, the Lord, by all adored forever.
Let the bright red berries glow,
Every where in goodly show,
Christus natus hodie;
The Babe, the Son, the Holy One of Mary.
Christian men, rejoice and sing,
'Tis the birthday of a King
Ex Maria Virgine;
The God, the Lord, by all ador'd forever.
Sing out with bliss,
His name is this: Immanuel!
As twas foretold in days of old,
By Gabriel.
Christians, awake, salute the happy morn
Whereon the Savior of the world was born
Rise to adore the mystery of love
Which hosts of angels chanted from above
With them the joyful tidings first begun
Of God Incarnate and the Virgin's Son.
Then to the watchful shepherds it was told
Who heard the angelic herald's voice, "Behold,
I bring good tidings of a Savior's birth
To you and all the nations upon the earth
This day hath God fulfilled His promised Word
This day is born a Savior, Christ the Lord."
He spake and straightaway the celestial choir
In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire
The praises of redeeming love they sang
And heaven's whole orb with alleluias rang
God's highest glory was their anthem still
Peace upon earth and unto men good will.
To Bethlehem straight the enlightened shepherds ran
To see the wonder God had wrought for man
And found, with Joseph and the blessed maid
Her Son, the Savior, in a manger laid
Then to their flocks, still praising God, return
And their glad hearts with holy rapture burn.
Oh, may we keep and ponder in our mind
God's wondrous love in saving lost mankind!
Trace we the Babe, who hath retrieved our loss
From His poor manger to His bitter cross
Tread in His steps, assisted by His grace
Till man's first heavenly state again takes place.
Then may we hope, the angelic hosts among
To sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song
He that was born upon this joyful day
Around us all His glory shall display
Saved by His love, incessant we shall sing
Eternal praise to heaven's almighty King.
Everybody's singin'
All the bells are ringing out
And it's Christmas all over again
Yeah again.
Long-distance relatives
Haven't seen in a long, long time
Yeah, I kind of missed 'em
I just don't wanna kiss 'em, no
It's Christmas all over again
Yeah again.
And all over town
Little kids gonna get down
And Christmas is a rockin' time
Put your body next to mine
Underneath the mistletoe, we go
We go.
Everybody's singin'
All the bells are ringin' out
It's Christmas all over again
Yeah, again.
And right down our block
Little kids start to rock
And Christmas is a rockin' time
Put your body next to mine
Underneath the mistletoe, we go
We go.
May Christmas time come and find you
Happy and there by your fire
I hope you have a good one
I hope momma gets her shoppin' done
And it's Christmas all over again
Baby, it's Christmas all over again
Ah yeah
And it's Christmas all over again.
Now, let's see
I want a new Rickenbacker guitar
Two Fender Bassmans
Chuck Berry songbooks
And a xylophone.
Telling of a Child in a manger who is born
He is the King of kings.
King of glory, hope for our nations
Sent to earth to save and redeem
Prince of peace, behold and adore
The Son of God has come to set us free.

Raise the banner, dance and rejoice

She said, "You know the cotton crop hasn't been too good this year
There's no spending money, and well, at least we're all here
I hope you won't expect a lot of Christmas presents
Just be thankful that there is plenty to eat
That's a blessing that'll make things a little more pleasant".
And us kids got to thinking how really blessed we were
At least we were all healthy and best of all, we had her.
Roy cut down a pig apple tree
And we dragged it home, Jack and me
Daddy killed a squirrel and Louise made the bread
Reba decorated the tree with popcorn strings
Before we went to bed.
Mama and daddy sacrificed
Cause this Christmas was lean
But after all, there was the babies, Tom and Joanne
Babies need a few things.
I whittled a whistle for my brother Jack
And though we fought now and then
When I gave Jack that whistle
He knew I thought the world of him.
Mama made the girl's dresses out of flour sacks
And when she ironed them down
You couldn't tell that they hadn't come from town.
A sharecropper's family across the road
Didn't have it as good as us
They didn't even have a light and it was way past dusk.
And mama said, "Well, I bet they don't even have coal or beans to boil
A log, apples oranges and such".
Me and Jack took a jar of coal, and some hickor' nuts we'd found
We walked to the sharecropper's porch and set 'em down.
A poor old ragged lady eased open the door
She picked up the coal and hickor' nuts and said,
"I sure do thank ye", and quickly closed the door.
We started back home, me and Jack
And about halfway, we stopped and looked back
And in the sharecropper's window, at last was a light
So, for one of the neighbors and for us
It was a good Christmas night.
Christmas came and Christmas went
Christmas that year was heaven sent
Then daddy put on his gumboots
Waited for the thaw back home in Dyess, Arkansas.
The sleigh bells are ringing
And the carolers are singing
While the air raid sirens blare.
It's Christmas at ground zero
The button has been pressed
The radio just let us know
That this is not a test.
Everywhere the atom bombs are dropping
It's the end of all humanity
No more time for last-minute shopping
It's time to face your final destiny.
It's Christmas at ground zero
There's panic in the crowd
We can dodge debris while we trim the tree
Underneath the mushroom cloud.
Ronald Reagan:
Well, the big day is only a few hours away now
I'm sure you're all looking forward to it
As much as we are.
You might hear some reindeer on your rooftop
Or Jack Frost on your windowsill
But if someone's climbing down your chimney
You better load your gun and shoot to kill.
It's Christmas at ground zero
And if the radiation level is okay
I'll go out with you and see
All the new mutations on New Year's Day.
It's Christmas at ground zero
Just seconds left to go
I'll duck and cover with my Yuletide lover
Underneath the mistletoe.
It's Christmas at ground zero
Now the missiles are on their way
What a crazy fluke
We're gonna get nuked
On this jolly holiday.
What a crazy fluke
We're gonna get nuked
On this jolly holiday.
Bring out the old cheer
Ring in the new year
And get that Christmas feeling.
I wish you joy that never ends
Happy times with all your friends
Come on and hold my hips a little longer
As we do the Christmas Conga.
Bonga, bonga, bonga, bonga
Do the Christmas Conga
Bonga, bonga, bonga, bonga
Do the Christmas Conga.
The old white tree still looks good
And Grandma's angels got me thinking
String up the new lights
Brighten the cold nights
And get those baubles blinking.
I wish you joy that never ends
Happy times with all your friends
Come on and hold my hips a little longer
As we do the Christmas Conga.
Bonga, bonga, bonga, bonga
Do the Christmas Conga
Bonga, bonga, bonga, bonga
Do the Christmas Conga.
And then we'll put on party hats
As the year comes to a conclusion
Turn on the yule log
Spike up the egg nog
And break those resolutions.
I wish you joy that never ends
Happy times with all your friends
Come on and hold my hips a little longer
As we do the Christmas Conga.
Bonga, bonga, bonga, bonga
Do the Christmas Conga
Bonga, bonga, bonga, bonga
Do the Christmas Conga.
I wish you joy that never ends
Happy times with all your friends
Come on and hold my hips a little longer
As we do the Christmas Conga.
Bonga, bonga, bonga, bonga
Do the Christmas Conga
Bonga, bonga, bonga, bonga
Do the Christmas Conga.
And Christmas tree, happiness.
Christmas Day is all that it should be
Lights and carols and holly
And all kinds of loveliness.
Christmas bells ringing out
Goodwill to men and peace on earth
Everything they taught you
When you were a child
The things a Child
Once taught the world.
If Christmas day is really in your heart
You don't have to save up
All your love to give once a year
Learn to give, try to live
Each day like Christmas Day.
Christmas bells ringing out
Goodwill to men and peace on earth
Everything they taught you
When you were a child
The things a Child
Once taught the world.
If Christmas day is really in your heart
You don't have to save up
All your love to give once a year
Learn to give, try to live
Each day like Christmas Day.
On a snow blue winter's day.
He asked to drink by our fire
And I was pleased to let him stay
He drank there quietly for a while.
Then he turned and said to me
"Your eyes are green like summer grass
Your lips are red like a fresh cut rose
Your hair is soft like an Irish stream
And your voice is filled with sweet beauty".
And the last words I heard him say
Were, "I shall return for you my love
On Christmas Day".
The night will come, but I won't sleep
As I watch the stars that lead him
I cannot place where he is
But still my heart goes with him.
I'm savin' all my Sunday clothes
For the day that I'll be leavin'
Father knows, my sister knows
And my friends, they're happy for me
And the priest he says
"You should thank God
For the blessing of such beauty".
And the last words I heard him say
Were, "I shall return, for you, my love
On Christmas day".
"I shall return for you, my love
On Christmas day".
And the last words I heard him say
Were the last words I ever heard him say
"I shall return for you, my love
On Christmas day".
"I swear, I will return
On Christmas day
And yes, I shall return
On Christmas day".
"I shall return for you
On Christmas day
My love, I will return
On Christmas day".
"I shall return, my love
On Christmas day
On Christmas day".
And it came to pass on a Christmas evening
While all the doors were shuttered tight
Outside standing, lonely boy child
Cold and shivering in the night.
On the street, every window
Save but one, was gleaming bright
And to this window walked the boy child
Peeking in saw, candle light.
Through other windows he had looked at turkeys
Ducks and geese, cherry pies
But through this window saw a gray haired lady
Table bare and tears in her eyes.
Into his coat reached the boy child
Knowing well there was little there
He took from his pocket
His own Christmas dinner
A bit of cheese, some bread to share.
His outstretched hands
Held the food and they trembled
As the door, it opened wide
Said he, "Would you share with me Christmas dinner?"
Gently said she, "Come inside".
The gray haired lady brought forth to the table
Glasses two and her last drop of wine
Said she, "Here's a toast to everyone's Christmas
And especially yours and mine".
And it came to pass on that Christmas evening
While all the doors were shuttered tight
That in that town, the happiest Christmas
Was shared by candle light.
All I need is a little snow
Starts me off, sets the theme
Helps me dream my Christmas dream
Every year I dream it
Hoping things will change
An end to the crying, the shouting, the dying
And I hope you will dream it too
It's Christmas, remember?
We've got to remember!
So, light the light, I'm home tonight
I need you to warm me, to calm me, to love me
To help me to dream my Christmas dream!
Crazy things, said n'done
Every single day but one
Every night should I believe
Be the same as Christmas Eve?
Nights should all be silent
Days should all slow down
An end to the hurry, the noise and the worry
And I hope you believe that too
It's Christmas, remember?
Does no one remember?
The whole world needs
A Christmas dream
We need it to warm us, to calm us, to love us
To help us to dream our Christmas dream!
The whole world needs a Christmas dream
We need it to warm us, to calm us, to love us
We need it to warm us, to calm us, to love us
We need it to warm us, to calm us, to love us
We need it to warm us, to calm us, to love us
To help us to dream our Christmas dream.
No sign of snow around;
And yet I go around hearing
Jingle bells ringing
In my ear.
Your promise must be the reason
The happy season
Is here;
So, I'm doing my Christmas dreaming
A little early
This year.
Your promise must be the reason
The happy season
Is here;
So, I'm doing my Christmas dreaming
A little early
This year.
And in my heart there is no doubt
That this is going to be
The brightest holiday
'Cause here you are with me
Baby, baby, I can't wait.
Ooooh yeah yeah yeah!
To spend this special time of year
With someone who makes me feel
The special way that you do.
Ooooh yeah yeah yeah!
Walking with you in a winter's snow
Kissing underneath the mistletoe
People smiling everywhere we go
It's Christmas Eve
And they can see we're in love.
Ooh, you make the season bright
With the lights reflecting in your eyes
All my dreams are coming true tonight
It's Christmas Eve
And I can see we're in love.
We'll stay up late tonight
Decorate the tree
Just look into my eyes
And I will tell you truthfully
That I don't need no Santa Claus
To hear my Christmas wish
I got you in my arms
And what could be a better gift
Than to spend my very favorite time of year
With the one I really love, so near.
Ooooh yeah yeah yeah!
Walking with you in a winter's snow
Kissing underneath the mistletoe
People smiling everywhere we go
It's Christmas Eve
And they can see we're in love.
Oooh!
Ooh, you make the season bright
With the lights reflecting in your eyes
All my dreams are coming true tonight
It's Christmas Eve
And I can see we're in love.
And the bells are ringing
When I hear you say
"We'll do it all again
On Christmas Day"
I can't wait!
Walking with you in a winter's snow
Kissing underneath the mistletoe
People smiling everywhere we go
It's Christmas Eve
And they can see we're in love.
Ooh, you make the season bright
With the lights reflecting in your eyes
All my dreams are coming true tonight
It's Christmas Eve
And I can see we're in love.
Walking with you in a winter's snow
Kissing underneath the mistletoe
People smiling everywhere we go
It's Christmas Eve
And they can see we're in love.
Ooh, you make the season bright
With the lights reflecting in your eyes
All my dreams are coming true tonight
It's Christmas Eve
And I can see we're in love.
I stuck my hands down deep inside my coat
I think of years ago
And half remembered Christmas trees
And faces that still warm me with their glow.
The cold and empty evening
Hangs around me like a ghost
I listen to my footsteps in the snow
The sound of one man walkin' through the snow
Can break your heart
But stopping doesn't help, so on I'll go.
And Christmas eve can kill you
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere.
The icy air I'm breathin'
Is all that keeps me on my feet
I feel like I've been walking all my life
A car goes running by
The man don't even turn his head
Guess he's busy being Santa Claus tonight.
The saddest part of all
Is knowing if I switched with him
I'd leave him stumblin' ragged by the road
I'd ride that highway to the arms of my sweet family
And forget about the stranger in the cold.
And Christmas eve can kill you
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere.
And as I walk I'm singin' to myself
Oh silent night
Hoping I can save those other souls
Oh, God forgive the man
Who drives right by the other man
Have pity on the stranger in the cold.
'Cause Christmas Eve can kill you
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere.
All of the good gifts given today
Ours is the sky and the wide open range.
Back in the cities, they have different ways
Football and eggnog and Christmas parades
I'll take the saddle, I'll take the reins
It's Christmas for cowboys and wide open plains.
A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night
The stars overhead are the Christmas tree lights
The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray
It's Christmas for cowboys and the wide open plains.
Tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day
Driving the cattle on the snow-covered plains.
So many gifts have been opened today
Ours is the sky and the wide open range.
It's Christmas for cowboys and wide open plains.
And they found his shop so meager and mean
Made gay with a thousand boughs of green.
And Conrad was sitting with face a-shine
When he suddenly stopped as he stitched a twine
And he said, "Old friends, at dawn today
When the cock was crowing the night away
The Lord appeared in a dream to me
And said, 'I am coming your guest to be.'
"So I've been busy with feet astir
Strewing my shop with branches of fir
The table is spread and the kettle is shined
And over the rafters the holly is twined."
"And now I will wait for my Lord to appear
And listen closely so I will hear
His step as He nears my humble place
And I open the door and look on His face."
So his friends went home and left Conrad alone
For this was the happiest day he had known
For, long since, his family had passed away
And Conrad had spent many a sad Christmas day.
But he knew with the Lord as his Christmas guest
This Christmas would be the dearest and best
So he listened with only joy in his heart
And with every sound he would rise with a start
And look for the Lord to be at his door
Like the vision he had a few hours before.
So, he ran to the window after hearing a sound
But all that he could see on the snow-covered ground
Was a shabby beggar whose shoes were torn
And all of his clothes were ragged and worn.
But Conrad was touched and went to the door
And he said, "Your feet must be frozen and sore
I have some shoes in my shop for you
And a coat that will keep you warmer, too."
So with grateful heart the man went away
But Conrad noticed the time of day
He wondered what made the Lord so late
And how much longer he'd have to wait.
When he heard a knock and ran to the door
But it was only a stranger once more
A bent, old lady with a shawl of black
With a bundle of kindling piled on her back.
She asked for only a place to rest
But that was reserved for Conrad's Great Guest
But her voice seemed to plead, "Don't send me away
Let me rest for awhile on Christmas day."
So Conrad brewed her a steaming cup
And told her to sit at the table and sup
But after she left he was filled with dismay
For he saw that the hours were slipping away
And the Lord had not come as He said He would
And Conrad felt sure he had misunderstood.
When out of the stillness he heard a cry
"Please help me and tell me where am I."
So again he opened his friendly door
And stood disappointed as twice before
It was only a child who had wandered away
And was lost from her family on Christmas Day.
Again Conrad's heart was heavy and sad
But he knew he should make the little girl glad
So he called her in and wiped her tears
And quieted all her childish fears.
Then he led her back to her home once more
But as he entered his own darkened door
He knew that the Lord was not coming today
For the hours of Christmas had passed away.
So he went to his room and knelt down to pray
And he said, "Dear Lord, why did you delay
What kept You from coming to call on me?
For I wanted so much Your face to see."
When soft in the silence a voice he heard
"Lift up your head for I kept My word
Three times My shadow crossed your floor
Three times I came to your lowly door.
For I was the beggar with bruised, cold feet
I was the woman you gave something to eat
And I was the child on the homeless street.
Three times I knocked and three times I came in
And each time I found the warmth of a friend
Of all the gifts, love is the best
I was honored to be your Christmas Guest."
By now in New York City
There's snow on the ground
And out in California
The sunshines' falling down
And maybe down in Memphis
Graceland's all in lights
And in Atlanta, Georgia
There's peace on Earth tonight.
Christmas in Dixie, its snowing in the pines
Merry Christmas from Dixie to everyone tonight.
Its windy in Chicago
The kids are out of school;
There's magic in Motown
The city's on the move.
In Jackson, Mississippi to Charlotte, Caroline.
And all across the Nation, its a peaceful Christmas time.
Christmas in Dixie, its snowing in the pines
Merry Christmas from Dixie, to everyone tonight.
And from Fort Payne, Alabama
Merry Christmas tonight.
I approached very slowly with my heart full of fear
Looked at his dog, oh my God, an ill reindeer
But then I was willin' because the man had a beard
And a bag full of goodies, 12 o'clock had neared
So, I turned my head a second and the man had gone
But he must have dropped his wallet smack down on the lawn.
I picked the wallet up, then I took a pause
Took out the license and it cold said "Santa Claus"
A million dollars in it, cold hundreds of G's
Enough to buy a boat and matching car with ease
But I'd never steal from Santa, cause that ain't right
So I was going home to mail it back to him that night
But when I got home I bugged, cause under the tree
Was a letter from Santa and the dough's for me.
It's Christmas time in Hollis Queens
Mom's cooking chicken and collard greens
Rice and stuffin', macaroni and cheese
And Santa put gifts under Christmas trees
Decorate the house with lights at night
Snow's on the ground, snow white so bright
In the fireplace is the yule log
Beneath the mistletoe as we drink eggnog
The rhymes that you hear are the rhymes of Darryl's
But each and every year we bust Christmas carols.
Rhymes so loud and proud you hear it
It's Christmas time and we got the spirit
Jack Frost chillin', the orchids out
And that's what Christmas is all about
The time is now, the place is here
And the whole wide world is filled with cheer.
My name's D.M.C. with the mike in my hand
And I'm chilling and coolin' just like a snowman
So open your eyes, lend us an ear
We want to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Santa's back up in the hood
So meet me under the mistletoe
Lets fuck!
It's Chanukah in Inglewood
The dreidel's spinning in the hood
So meet me by the menorah
Lets get drunk.
Ho ho ho!
Merry Christmas
Chorus:
It's Christmas in Hollywood
Santa's back up in the hood
So meet me under the mistletoe
Lets fuck!
It's Chanukah in Inglewood
The driedel's spinning in the hood
So meet me by the menorah
Lets get drunk.
Ju Ju Ju Just a little story about last Christmas
About some bad kids who were full of wishes
We gave some gifts and then we gave some lovin'
The weird kind of love, that you give to your cousin
Little Timmy stole from 7-11
So, we stopped by his house with a pair of sevens
We drank in his room with some dude named Kevin
But, there was still some bad kids who deserved some presents
Zack got caught with a bottle of Jack
So we slipped down his chimney with an 18 pack
He didn't leave cookies but we needed a snack
So, we took the beer back and I fucked him in the ass!!!
It's Charlie Scene, got eggnog in my flask
The holidays are back and all my presents are wrapped
Like Oh My God! Is that Saint Nick?
Kids give me your list, like it's the 25th
Been accused of being a bad kid
But I get presents as it is
Cause Mrs.Claus just MySpace'd me
I blew off a date on Christmas eve
So, I don't give a fuck if you're naughty or nice
You might still get a Rolly and a gang on ice
So write your list and never have no fear
Have a Hollywood Christmas
And an Undead New Year!!!!
Fuck Yeah!!
Watch your language
Ho ho ho
'Bout to serve it up for all you boys and girls
Good kids, bad and even Da Kurlzz
We were chillin' at home and deckin' the halls
So I checked my phone and Santa had called
He said he'd swing by at a quarter to twelve
He said that his jolly ass needed some help
He said, "Christmas ain't a gang but a way of life
If you guide my sleigh, I'll let you fuck my wife."
So we jumped in his sleigh and it started to jingle
Funnier than fuck, you can ask Kris Kringle
So we all took flight but something was fishy
He asked for road head and started to kiss me
Underneath his suit was just a bunch of pillows
Instead of bags of presents, he had bags of dildos
I pulled down his beard and it was a monster
It wasn't Saint Nick it was a fuckin' imposter.
When we found out, he started to pout
I took my bandana and I choked him out
I pulled off his beard and I fucked his mouth
Hijacked his sleigh and headed down south
I had a lot of wild nights, but tonight was the craziest
Met a lot of Jeffs, but this one was the shadiest
When it comes to cheer, that motherfucker's a grinch
So, if you don't like Christmas, fuck you bitch!!!
You kids are in big trouble
Oh boy
Ho ho!
Looks like Santa had a little too much eggnog.
Chorus:
It's Christmas in Hollywood
Santa's back up in the hood
So meet me under the mistletoe
Lets fuck!
It's Chanukah in Inglewood
The dreidel's spinning in the hood
So meet me by the menorah
Lets get drunk.
Lets get drunk
Ho ho yeah.
Lets get drunk.
Chorus:
It's Christmas in Hollywood
Santa's back up in the hood
So meet me under the mistletoe
Lets fuck!
It's Chanukah in Inglewood
The dreidel's spinning in the hood
So meet me by the menorah
Lets get drunk
Lets get drunk.
Chorus:
It's Christmas in Hollywood
Santa's back up in the hood
So meet me under the mistletoe
Lets fuck!
It's Chanukah in Inglewood
The driedel's spinning in the hood
So meet me by the menorah
Lets get drunk.
Had a little too much to drink
Ain't got no bail
Ain't got no bail
And spendin' New Year's Eve in the clink.
I was in the wrong lane
Feelin' no pain
Zoomed my car to seventy-five
Ran right into
You can guess who
And say I'm lucky to be alive.
Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!
They're singin' down the street
While everybody's havin' Christmas turkey
They give me bread and water to eat.
Christmas in jail
Christmas in jail
Wore my shoes out pacin' the floor
Got rocks in my head
I wish I was dead
Ain't gonna drink and drive no more.
Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!
They're singin' down the street
While everybody's havin' Christmas turkey
They give me bread and water to eat.
Christmas in jail
Christmas in jail
Wore my shoes out pacin' the floor
Got rocks in my head
I wish I was dead
Ain't gonna drink and drive no more
Ain't gonna drink and drive no more
Ain't gonna drink and drive no more.
Merry Christmas!
Hic! Hic! Hic!
Christmas in Jamaica
Here we come
We'll just sail on
Just sail.
Lovers frolickin'
Playin' in the sand
Got my Coppertone
Getting on my tan.
Exotic setting
For a lady
And her man
A perfect little holiday
Sounds like a plan.
We can stay in bed all afternoon
We can make out to some cool Reggae tunes
We can sail under the light of the moon
Wish we could freeze this moment
Then it wouldn't end so soon.
We'll be having fun
Under the golden sun
Christmas in Jamaica
Here we come
We'll just sail on
Just sail.
Unplug the phones, y'all
Don't need no calls
No callin' home
Take a break from it all.
'Cause we both grown
And we can do whatever, see?
Baby, it's just you and me
Let's live out a fantasy.
Hiking in the mountains, romantic rendezvous
Bathing in the fountains, stop; let me look at you
Just in case you're doubtin', let me paint a view
Picture you're in heaven, everything is true.
We'll be having fun
Under the golden sun
Christmas in Jamaica
Here we come
We'll just sail on
Just sail.
The holly green, the ivy green
The prettiest picture you've ever seen
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home.
It's nice, you know, to kiss your beau
While cuddling under the mistletoe
And Santa Claus you know, of course
Is one of the boys from home.
The door is always open
The neighbors pay a call
And Father John before he's gone
Will bless the house and all.
How grand it feels to click your heels
And join in the fun of the jigs and reels
I'm handing you no blarney
The likes you've never known
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home.
I tried to hide my feelings
To keep myself controlled
But somehow I can't deny What's deep inside my soul.
I've been always on the run
So many different places, having fun
But like a river always knows just where to flow
Now that December comes, I feel like coming home.
It's Christmas in my heart
When I'm with you
No matter where we are or what we do.
Tomorrow may be gray
We may be torn apart
But if you stay tonight
It's Christmas in my heart.
I don't know how to stay alive
Without your touch, without you by my side
Just like the desert's always waiting for the rain
Oh baby, I wish the holy night would come again.
It's Christmas in my heart
When I'm with you
No matter where we are or what we do.
Everywhere I go and everyone I know
Is making lots of wishes for old Santa Claus
But all I really need tonight
Is for you to come and hold me tight
What is Christmas without you here by my side
I need you tonight.
I remember the child in the manger
As he sleeps.
Wherever there are people
Giving gifts, exchanging cards
I believe that Christmas
Is truly in our hearts.
Let's light our Christmas trees
For a bright tomorrow
Where nations are at peace
And all are one in God.
Chorus:
Let's sing Merry Christmas
And a happy holiday
This season may we never forget
The love we have for Jesus
Let him be the one to guide us
As another new year starts
And may the spirit of Christmas
Be always in our hearts.
In every prayer and every song
The community unites
Celebrating the birth of our savior
Jesus Christ.
Let love like that starlight
On that first Christmas morn
Lead us back to the manger
Where Christ the child was born.
So, come let us rejoice
Come and sing the Christmas carols
With one big joyful voice
Proclaim the name of the Lord.
Chorus:
Let's sing Merry Christmas
And a happy holiday
This season may we never forget
The love we have for Jesus
Let him be the one to guide us
As another new year starts
And may the spirit of Christmas
Be always in our hearts.
Chorus:
Let's sing Merry Christmas
And a happy holiday
This season may we never forget
The love we have for Jesus
Let him be the one to guide us
As another new year starts
And may the spirit of Christmas
Be always in our hearts.
We had turkey and pistols
Carved out of wood.
And I dream of her always
Even when I don't dream
Her name's on my tongue
And her blood in my stream.
Wait a while
Eternity
Old Mother Nature's
Got nothing on me
Come to me
Run to me
Come to me now
We're rolling
My sweetheart
We're flowing
By God!
She reminds me of a chess game
With someone I admire
Or a picnic in the rain
After a prairie fire.
Her heart is as big
As this whole goddamn jail
She's sweeter than saccharine
At a drug store sale.
Wait a while
Wait a while
Eternity
Old Mother Nature's
Got nothing on me
Come to me
Run to me
Come to me now
We're rolling
My sweetheart
We're flowing
By God!
The searchlight in the big yard
Goes round with the gun
And spotlights the snowflakes
Like dust in the sun.
It's Christmas in prison
And there'll be music tonight
I'll probably get homesick
I love you
Goodnight.
Wait a while
Eternity
Old Mother Nature's
Got nothing on me
Come to me
Run to me
Come to me now
We're rolling
My sweetheart
We're flowing
By God!
When it's Christmas time in Texas
It's a very special time for me
In Texas we'll be swingin' 'round the Christmas tree
Dancin' to a Christmas melody.
When it's Christmas time in Texas
It might look just like a Summer day
There may not be snow in San Antonio
But it's a Texas Christmas to me.
When Santa crosses over the border
He'll sound a little diff'rent when he sings
He'll hear those twin fiddles playin'
Christmas songs with a touch of western swing
There may not be snow in San Antonio
But it's a Texas Christmas to me.
When it's Christmas time in Texas
I love to hear those Christmas carolers sing
People on the go, children's faces all aglow
Wond'rin' what Santa's gonna bring.
Grandpa's been chasin' Grandma around
Tryin' to catch her 'neath the mistletoe
Everything is right, the Lone Star's shinin' bright
And it's a Texas Christmas to me.
When Santa crosses over the border
He'll sound a little diff'rent when he sings
He'll hear those twin fiddles playin'
Christmas songs with a touch of western swing
There may not be snow in San Antonio
But it's a Texas Christmas to me.
And we're wishing you all a Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas from Texas and me.
Christmas is a time to love.

We often start to worry

In all the push and shove
Is Christmas is a time to love.
Christmas is a time

Christmas is a time to love.

Maybe things don't sound right
Or look the way they should
And maybe they're not perfectly in tune.
It really doesn't matter
Lets keep our eyes above
Cos' Christmas is a time to love.
Christmas is a time

Christmas is coming
The geese are getting fat
Please put a penny
In the old man's hat.
If you haven't got a penny
A ha'penny will do
If you haven't got a ha'penny
Then God bless you.
Christmas day is coming
Lights are on the tree
Hang up your stocking
For Santa Claus to see.
If you you haven't got a stocking
A little sock will do
If you haven't got a little sock
Then God bless you!
Christmas day is coming
The season of good cheer,
Let's all sing a carol
For the brand-new year!
If you haven't got a carol
A jolly song will do
If you haven't got a jolly song
Then God bless you!
Time for merry fun
Yum tum tum hey!
Come on an cheer
Don't forget tell everyone
Sing with Bearforce One
Ting ting hurray!
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring tingling too
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride
Together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "yoo hoo"
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride
Together with you.
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is coming to town.
Sleigh bells ring
Are you listenin'?
In the lane
Snow is glistenin'
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland.
Gone away
Is the blue bird
Here to stay is the new bird
He sings a love song
As we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland.
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a hairy Christmas
And a happy
Such a happy
New year!
Christmas is here
And it's only just begun
Time for merry fun
Yum tum tum hey!
Come on and cheer
Don't forget tell everyone
Sing with Bearforce One
Ting-ting hurray!
Have a merry ding dong day!
Better write all your letters to Santa
There's shopping and wrapping to do
I bet you'll never believe it
When you see what I got you
You're gonna love it.
Christmas is just around the corner
Candles are glowing everywhere
Can't wait until that night
Reindeer appear
Christmas
And it's just about here.
Christmas
(Christmas)
Is just around the corner
(Is just around the corner)
Christmas
(Christmas)
You feel it in the air
(You feel it in the air)
All the trees are surrounded with presents
The stockings are fillin' up too
I bet you'll never believe it
When you see what I got you.
What did you get me?
Christmas
(Christmas)
Is just around the corner
(Is just around the corner)
Sleigh bells
(Sleigh bells)
Are ringing in the square
(Are ringing in the square)
Too bad December comes
Just once a year
Christmas
(Christmas)
Time to trim the tree
Christmas
(Christmas)
Can it really be?
Christmas
(Christmas)
Yes, its finally here
We've been waiting all year
And it's finally here
Yes, it's finally here
Ooohhhhh
It's finally here
Christmas!
Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
And a feeling that will last all through the year.
On the corner, carolers are singing
There's a touch of magic in the air
From grownup to minor, no one could be finer
Times are hard but no one seems to care.
Christmas Eve and all the world is watching
Santa guides his reindeer through the dark
From rooftop to chimney, from Harlem to Bimini
They will find a way into your heart.
Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
And a feeling that will last all through the year.
Just outside the window, snow is falling
But here beside the fire, we share the glow
Of moonlight and brandy, sweet talk and candy
Sentiments that everyone should know.
Memories of the year that lays behind us
Wishes for the year that's yet to come
And it stands to reason, that good friends in season
Make you feel that life has just begun.
Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
Share the joys of laughter and good cheer
Christmas is the time to say "I love you"
And a feeling that will last all through the year.
So, when spirits grow lighter
And hopes are shining brighter
Then you know that
Christmas time is here.

Let's get away from sleigh bells, let's get away from snow
Let's make a break some Christmas, Dear, I know the place to go
How'd ya like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?
How'd ya like to spend the holiday away across the sea?
How'd ya like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?
How'd ya like to hang a stocking on a great big coconut tree?
How'd ya like to stay up late, like the islanders do?
Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe?
If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island
You will never stray, for everyday
Your Christmas dreams come true.
How'd ya like to stay up late like the islanders do?
Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe?
If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island
You will never stray, for everyday
Your Christmas dreams come true
On Christmas Island your dreams come true.
Got all kinds of poison in
Poison in my blood.
I took my feet
To Oxford Street
Trying to right a wrong
Just walk away
Those windows say
But I can't believe she's gone.
When you're still waiting for the snow to fall
Doesn't really feel like Christmas at all.
Up above candles on air flicker
Oh they flicker and they float
But I'm up here holding on
To all those chandeliers of hope.
Like some drunken Elvis singing
I go singing out of tune
Saying how I always loved you darling
And I always will.
Oh when you're still waiting for the snow to fall
Doesn't really feel like Christmas at all.
Still waiting for the snow to fall
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all.
Those Christmas lights
Light up the street
Down where the sea and city meet
May all your troubles soon be gone
Oh Christmas lights keep shining on.
Those Christmas lights
Light up the street
Maybe they'll bring her back to me
Then all my troubles will be gone
Oh Christmas lights keep shining on.
Oh Christmas lights
Light up the street
Light up the fireworks in me
May all your troubles soon be gone
Those Christmas lights keep shining on.
Would you still wanna kiss without mistletoe
What would happen if God never let it snow
What would happen if Christmas carols told a lie
Tell me what would you find?
You'd see that today holds something special
Something holy, not superficial
So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So, here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something more.
What if angels did not pay attention
To all the things that we wished they would always do
What if happiness came in a cardboard box
Then I think there is something we all forgot
What would happen if presents all went away
Tell me what would you find?
You'd see that today holds something special
Something holy, not superficial
So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So, here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something more.
We get so caught up in all of it
Business and relationships
Hundred mile an hour lives
And it's this time of year
And everybody's here
It seems the last thing on your mind.
Is that the day holds something special
Something holy, not superficial
So here's to Jesus Christ who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
But here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something
Christmas must be something
Christmas must be something more.
There's gotta be more
There's gotta be more.
The wheels start turning, torches start burning
And the whole wise men journey from the east.
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy?
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight.
A shepherd on the hillside, where over my flock I bide
On a cold winter night, a band of angels sing
In a dream I heard a voice say, "Fear not, come rejoice
It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born King".
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy?
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight.
I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies
But why a simple herdsmen such as I?
And then it came to pass, He was born at last
Right below the star that shines on high.
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight.
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight.
Be tonight, be tonight
Be tonight, be tonight
Be tonight, be tonight.
Three wise men seeking truth, they traveled from afar
Hoping to find the Child from Heaven
Falling on their knees
They bow before the humble Prince of peace.
We bring an offering of worship to our King
No one on earth deserves the praises that we sing
Jesus, may You receive the honor that You're due
O Lord, I bring an offering to You.
The sun cannot compare to the glory of Your love
There is no shadow in Your presence
No mortal man would dare to stand before Your throne
Before the Holy One of Heaven, it's only by Your blood
It's only through Your mercy, Lord I come.
I bring an offering of worship to my King
No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing
Jesus, may You receive the honor that You're due
O Lord, I bring an offering to You.
I bring an offering of worship to my King
No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing
Jesus, may You receive the honor that You're due
O Lord, I bring an offering to You.
We bring an offering to You
We are an offering to You
An offering of praise we sing
An offering to You.
We are an offering to You, Jesus
An offering of praise we sing
An offering to You
We are an offering, oh Lord.
We are an offering of worship to our King
No one on earth deserves the praises that we sing
Jesus, may You receive the honor that You're due
O Lord, we bring an offering to You
O Lord, we bring an offering.
Offering to You
We bring an offering to You
We are an offering to You.
Call us from far, call us from near
Oh! play me your Christmas pipes.
Christmas bells, Christmas bells
Over the hills and over the dells
Ringing out bright, ringing out clear
Oh! ring me your Christmas bells.
Christmas strings, Christmas strings
Playing the peace that Christmas brings
Fiddle and bow, gentle and low
Oh! play me your Christmas strings.
Christmas pipes, Christmas pipes
Calling us, calling on Christmas night
Call us from far, call us from near
Oh! play me your Christmas pipes.
Oh holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the Savior's birth.
Christmas choir, Christmas choir
Christmas carols 'round Christmas fire
Holy night, angels on high
Round up your Christmas choir.
Christmas band, Christmas band
You're waiting for me with your Christmas band
Cymbal and drum, rattle and hum
March out your Christmas band.
Good to be home to your Christmas band.
Christmas pipes, Christmas pipes
Calling us, calling on Christmas night
Call us from far, call us from near
Play me your Christmas pipes.
Christmas pipes, Christmas pipes
Calling us on Christmas night
Call us from far, call us from near
Oh! play me your Christmas pipes
Play me your Christmas pipes.
Good to be home
Good to be home
Good to be home to your Christmas pipes.
Christmas
Christmas
Christmas
Christmas.
Good to be home to your Christmas pipes.
And so I wonder can it be
Will every mile bring you to me?
A promise made may still come true
So I am waiting here for you
If you don't come, what will I do?
Who shall I tell my secrets to?
Christmas bells ring out their chimes
I hear them echo through the night
And moonlight shines upon the road
And trembles on the falling snow.
I look into the midnight blue
So many stars I never knew
If you don't come, what will I do?
Who shall I tell my secrets to?
I look into the midnight blue
So many stars I never knew
If you don't come, what will I do?
Who shall I tell my secrets to?
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two
Not really in the Christmas mood.
Standing right in front of me was
A little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes.
His clothes were worn and old
He was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say
"Sir, I want to buy these shoes
For my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Mama meets Jesus tonight."
He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said, "Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do?
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes."
So I laid the money down
I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when
He said "Mama's gonna look so great."
"Sir, I want to buy these shoes
For my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir
Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Mama meets Jesus tonight."
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me just what Christmas is all about.
Where a mother laid her baby
You'd do well to remember the things He later said
When you're stuffing yourselves at the Christmas parties
You'll laugh when I tell you to take a running jump
You're missing the point I'm sure does not need making
That Christmas spirit is not what you drink.
So, how can you laugh when your own mother's hungry?
And how can you smile when the reasons for smiling are wrong?
And if I messed up your thoughtless pleasures
Remember, if you wish, this is just a Christmas song.
Hey Santa, pass us that bottle, will you?
Had to grow up and see the world
Through different shades of doubt
Give me one more chance to dream again
One more chance to feel again
Through your young heart
If only for one day, let me try.
I wanna see Christmas through your eyes
I want everything to be the way it used to be
Back to being a child again thinking the world was mine
I wanna see Christmas, Christmas through your eyes.
I see the rain
You see the rainbow hiding in the clouds
Never afraid to let your love show
Won't you show me how?
Wanna learn how to believe again
Find the innocence in me again
Through your young heart
Help me find a way, help me try.
I wanna see Christmas through your eyes
I want everything to be the way it used to be
Back to being a child again thinking the world was mine
I wanna see Christmas, Christmas through your eyes.
I wanna see Christmas through your eyes
I want everything to be the way it used to be
Back to being a child again thinking the world was mine
I wanna see Christmas, Christmas through your eyes.
I wanna see Christmas
I wanna see Christmas
I wanna see Christmas through your eyes
I wanna see, I wanna see Christmas
I wanna see, I wanna see Christmas
I wanna see Christmas through your eyes
I wanna see Christmas
I want to see Christmas
I wanna see Christmas through your eyes.
When I was young
Every Christmas Eve
I could not sleep
Trying to catch that old St.Nick
Leaving presents under my tree
And every year I'd fall asleep
Laying in my bed
Dreaming of a million sugarplums
Dancing in my head.
Oh how much joy it is
At Christmas time
The spirit of giving is in our lives, oh
Oh, how much joy it brings
To see the ones you love
This year's gonna be the best Christmas
Because:
There'll be family and Christmas cheer
Peace and goodwill to all men
Everybody is home for Christmas
Everybody is home
Sneaking a kiss under the mistletoe
I want a white Christmas
So let it snow
Everybody is home for Christmas
Everybody is home
It's Christmas time.
Friends come together
As we decorate the tree
This is the time of year
To live in harmony, oh
Angels watch over
As we put the kids to sleep
It's Christmas time
And when they awake their smiling faces
Make it all complete, oh
This is the holiday you're with the family
We put aside our differences and let it be, oh
Oh, how much fun it is to give and to receive
This time of year
Love is all we need, oh!
There'll be family and Christmas cheer
Peace and goodwill to all men
Everybody is home for Christmas
Everybody is home
Sneaking a kiss under the mistletoe
I want a white Christmas
So, let it snow
Everybody is home for Christmas
Everybody is home
It's Christmas time
It's Christmas time!
Fa la la la la
Fa la la la la la la.
Open your hearts now
This is the time for us to give
The world needs love now
So live and let live
Families all here
The spirit is good cheer
The sound of carolers
Ringing sweet in my ear
Everything is all fine
You know why,
It's Christmas time
What?
Oh, how much joy it is at Christmas time
The spirit of giving is in our lives
Oh, oh how much joy it brings
To see the ones you love
This year's gonna be the best Christmas
Because:
There'll be family and Christmas cheer
Peace and goodwill to all men
Everybody is home for Christmas
Everybody is home
Sneaking a kiss under the mistletoe
I want a white Christmas
So let it snow
Everybody is home for Christmas
Everybody is home
It's Christmas time!
Over mulled wine
With you.
On the 25th day
Of the 12th month
The sleigh bells are in time
Ringing true.
How we cling each Noel
To that snowflakes
And hope in hell
That it won't end.
Don't let the bells end
Christmas time
Just let them ring
In peace.
Well, the weather is cruel
And the season of Yule
Warms the heart
But it still hurts.
You've got your career
Spent the best part of last year apart
And it still hurts
So, that's why I pray
Each and every Christmas day
That it won't end.
Don't let the bells end
Christmas time
Just let them ring
In peace.
Christmas time
Don't let the bells end
Christmas time
Don't let the bells end.
Dust underneath the mistletoe leaves
When you're not here
You went away upon boxing day
Now how the hell am I gonna make it
Into the New Year?
Christmas time
Don't let the bells end
Christmas time
Don't let the bells end.
Christmas time
Don't let the bells end
Christmas time
Kust let them ring
In peace.
Christmas time
Don't let the bells end
Christmas time
Don't let the bells end.
Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year.
Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share.
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there.
Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year.
We untangle pines
And hung some memories.
Suit and tie
Places to be tonight
Girl, you've gotta know I don't wanna go
It's so toasty warm inside.
Baby, let's just light the fire
But I got a new dress
Doesn't look so safe to drive
You bought me that necklace
We won't know what we're missin'
If we don't go out for Christmas tonight.
So much snow
The wind you know is bound to blow
And mess up your hair, make it very wet
Let's don't go.
It's too late
Whatever would we say
We shouldn't break our plans
Let down our friends
Baby you best behave.
Baby, let's just light the fire
What about the city?
Doesn't look so safe to drive
But the drive's so pretty
We won't know what we're missin'
If we don't go out for Christmas tonight.
You lookin too good to share
And maybe our friends won't care
Baby, we always got next year.
Baby let's just light the fire
I'll get the matches
Doesn't look real safe to drive
I'll grab some glasses
Won't know what we're missin'
If we don't go out for Christmas tonight
Maybe we should stay in, baby
We won't know what we're missin'
If we don't go out for Christmas tonight.
Ra pa pam pam
Ra pa pam pam.

Ain't it fun, always on the run
That's how its done on Christmas vacation.
Lets all deck the halls and light the lights
(jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling)
Get a toasty fire buring bright
(jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang)
Give St. Nick the warmest welcome that he's every had
We're so glad it Christmas vacation.

Fa-la-la-la-la and ho ho ho
Jingle, jangle, jingle as we go
Let the spirit of the season..
Frosted window panes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh
With things
Things for you and for me.
It's that time of year
When the world falls in love
Every song you hear
Seems to say
Merry Christmas
May your New Year dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too.
Merry Christmas
May your New Year dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too
Merry Christmas to you.
We open up our hearts when love is in the air
It seems such a shame to me
It's a season that comes only once a year.
Chorus:
So let's make a Christmas wish together
Let's hope the best of dreams come true
Let's make the spirit last forever
This is my Christmas wish for you.
If I could give any gift I wanted
A present to every boy and girl
I'd make it a miracle that came from God above
A picture of peace on earth
Where each person is judged by the power of love.
Chorus:
So let's make a Christmas wish together
Let's hope the best of dreams come true
Let's make the spirit last forever
This is my Christmas wish for you.
It seems such a shame to me
It's a season that comes only once a year.
Chorus:
So let's make a Christmas wish together
Let's hope the best of dreams come true
Let's make the spirit last forever
This is my Christmas wish for you.
Yes, all the world is happy, but since you went away
My Christmas will be just another lonely day
Yeah, another lonely day, yeah.
My tree is trimmed with pretty colored lights
And at the top, the Christmas star shines bright
Yes, everything around me is very bright and gay
But Christmas will be just another lonely day
Yeah, another lonely day, yeah.
I had a lonely September, October, November, too
But December is twice as lonely without you
For soon it will be time for Santa Claus
And surely he will bring you back, because
Without you here beside me, my world will be so gray
And Christmas will be just another lonely day.
Yeah, another lonely day, yeah
Another lonely day, yeah
Another lonely day, yeah.
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you.
The fireplace keeps burning
And my thoughts keep turning
The pages of memories
Of time spent with you
Old Christmas songs we knew
And used to make love to
Make it hard to get used to
Christmas without you.
Christmas without you
White Christmas and I'm blue
I love you, I miss you, I need you
So sad, but so true
Christmas without you
Like a mystery with no clues
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you.
The sweetest gift I know
Would be if the new snow
Could fall on your footsteps
On this Christmas Eve
The most joyous Christmas
If luck could be with us
Would be if Saint Nicholas
Brought you home to me.
Christmas without you
White Christmas and I'm blue
I love you, I miss you, I need you
So sad but so true
Like a mystery with no clues
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you.
Tryin' hard to find a quiet moment
Sharing love and joy
Children with their toys
Sadness fills my heart to see you go.
Christmas won't be the same without you
Christmas won't be the same if you go
All I need to see
Standing by my Christmas tree
Christmas won't be the same without you.
I remember when
Times we used to spend
Walking hard in hand until the sun sets
Then came Christmas Eve
The wish you gave to me
How I wish I tried to make you stay.
Christmas won't be the same without you
Christmas won't be the same if you go
All I need to see standing by my Christmas tree
Christmas won't be the same without you.
It's been a long long time
I need you by my side
Hold me tight
Don't let go
Let go.
Christmas won't be the same without you
Christmas won't be the same if you go
All I need to see standing by my Christmas tree
Christmas won't be the same without you.
Christmas won't be the same without you
Christmas won't be the same if you go
All I need to see standing by my Christmas tree
Christmas won't be the same
Christmas won't be the same
Christmas won't be the same
Without you.
But all this year's been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season.
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left from
Last year, ski shop,
Encounter, most interesting.
Had his number but never the time
Most of '81 passed along those lines.
So deck those halls, trim those trees
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer,
I just need to catch my breath,
Christmas by myself this year.
Calendar picture, frozen landscape,
Chilled this room for twenty-four days,
Evergreens, sparkling snow
Get this winter over with!
Flashback to springtime, saw him again,
Would've been good to go for lunch,
Couldn't agree when we were both free,
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch.
Didn't, of course, 'til summertime,
Out to the beach to his boat, could I join him?
No, this time it was me,
Sunburn in the third degree.
Now the calendar's just one page
And, of course, I am excited
Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind
Not to do too much about it.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Hardly dashing through the snow
Cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute have-to-do's
A few cards a few calls
'Cause it's r-s-v-p
No thanks, no party lights
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax
Turned down all of my invites.
Last fall I had a night to myself,
Same guy called, Halloween party,
Waited all night for him to show,
This time his car wouldn't go.
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late,
Trudge on home to celebrate
In a quiet way, unwind
Doing Christmas right, this time.
A&P has provided me
With the world's smallest turkey
Already in the oven, nice and hot
Oh damn! Guess what I forgot?
So on with the boots, back out in the snow
To the only all-night grocery,
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year!
"I'm spending this one alone," he said
"Need a break; this year's been crazy."
I said, "Me too, but why are you?
You mean, you forgot cranberries too?"
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
Caught on to what was happening
That Christmas magic's brought this tale
To a very happy ending!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!
Cause everything I want is miles away
In a snow covered little town.
My mamma's in the kitchen, worrying about me
Season's greetings, hope you're well
Well, I'm doing alright if you were wondering
Lately I can never tell.
I know this shouldn't be a lonely time
But, there were Christmases when you were mine.
I've been doing fine without you, really
Up until the nights got cold
And everybody's here, except you, baby
Seems like everyone's got someone to hold.
But for me it's just a lonely time
Cause there were Christmases when you were mine.
Merry Christmas everybody
That'll have to be something I just say this year
I'll bet you got your mom another sweater
And were your cousins late again?
When you were putting up the lights this year
Did you notice one less pair of hands?
I know this shouldn't be a lonely time
But there were Christmases
When I didn't wonder how you are tonight
Cause there were Christmases when you were mine.
You were mine.
I've been cleaning, scrubbing the plates
And weeding out the garden, dear.
I can't fall asleep to your mystery
Slowly blowing from the shore
I have not failed to be, what you'd expect of me
Swallowing glass, just to stay pure.
All the birds are heading down south
But you're staying up north, you say
I've got jackets, blankets and sheets
Its going to be a cold December.
It could be warm you see
A statue next to me
Swimming away from the ice and snow
Could I have failed to see, the signs in front of me
Warning and flashing symbols
Subtle and simple I couldn't see
I couldnt see.
If only time could slow down
Maybe I could come up
It's such a cold December
It's such a cold December
Its so cold.
I can't fall asleep to your mystery
Slowly blowing from the shore
I have not failed to be, what you'd expect of me
Swallowing glass, just to stay pure.
Summers come and summer has gone
Your Christmas cards can't comfort me
You've found new friends and tied all the ends
It's freezing in the loneliest winter.
It could be warm you see
A statue next to me
Swimming away from the ice and snow
Could I have failed to see, the signs in front of me
Warning and flashing symbols
Subtle and simple I couldn't see
I couldnt see.
If only time could slow down
Maybe I could come up
It's such a cold December
It's such a cold December
Its so cold.
Cold December's winds were stilled
In the month of snowing
As the world fell dark one night
Springtime's Hope was growing.
Then one rose-tree blossomed new
One sweet Flower on it grew
On the tree once bare
Grew the Rose so fair
Ah, the Rose, ah, the Rose
Ah the Rose tree blooming
Sweet the air perfuming.
When the darkness fell that night
Bringing sweet reposing
All the land was hid from sight
Sleep our eyes was closing.
Suddenly, there came a gleam
From the sky, the wondrous beam
Of a heav'nly star
Giving light afar
Ah, the star, ah, the star
Ah, the star-beam glowing
Brightness ever growing.
Now the month of May was here
Filled with God's own radiance
Now the purest Lily bloomed
Flow'r of sweetest fragrance.
To the people far and near
Came a breath of heav'nly cheer
O, the incense rare
Of the Lily there!
Ah, the scent, ah, the scent
Of the Lily blooming,
All the air perfuming!
In Catalonian: El Decembre Congelat
El desembre congelat
Confus es retira
Abril de flors coronat
Tot el mon admira
Quan en un jadi d'amor
Neix una divina flor.
D'una ro ro ro
D'una sa sa sa
D'una ro, d'una sa
D'una rosa bella
Fecunda y poncella.
El primer Pare causa
Le nit tenevrosa
Que a tot el mon ofusca
La vista penosa
Mes en una mitja nit
Brilla el sol que n'es eixit
D'una bel bel bel
D'una la la la
D'una bel, d'una la
D'una bella aurora
Que el cel enamora.
El mes de maig ha florit
Sense ser encara
Un lliri blanc y polit
De fragancia rara
Que per tot el mon se sent
De Llevant fins a Ponent
Tota sa sa sa
Tota dul dul dul
Tota sa, tota dul
Tota sa dulcura
I olor, amb ventura.
The billboards and the neon took the place of silver bells
And the temperature is 84 degrees.
I can hear the traffic on the crowded strip below
As the palm trees poke their heads above the scene
There's not a single reindeer and it hardly ever snows
And Santa drives a Rolls Royce limousine.
But all along the Rockies you can feel it in the air
From Telluride to Boulder down below
The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere
Is a quiet Christmas morning in the Colorado snow.
I remember Christmases when I was just a boy
In the morning I would run to see the tree
And the carolers on the hillside sang their songs of Christmas joy
Well, I always thought they sang them just for me.
Now the sun is setting in the California sky
And I can't find the spirit anywhere
So I think its time for me to tell Los Angeles goodbye
I'm going back home for Christmas there.
But all along the Rockies you can feel it in the air
From Telluride to Boulder down below
The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere
Is a quiet Christmas morning in the Colorado snow.
Come, buy my nice fresh ivy
And my holly sprigs so green
I have the finest branches
That ever yet were seen
Come buy from me, good Christians
And let me home, I pray
That God will bless your Christmas
And a happy New Year's Day.
Ah, won't you buy my ivy?
It's the loveliest I've seen
Ah, won't you buy my holly?
Oh you who love the green
Do take a little branch of each
And on my knees I'll pray
That God will bless your Christmas
And a happy New Year's Day.
Come, O you shepherds, people, listen to me
Go straight to Bethlehem, the baby to see
For Christ is born a man now among you
God come from heaven now here to save you
Be not afraid!
Let us go swiftly to Bethlehem's stall
There to adore the gift revealed to us all
What here we find we'll tell all mankind
Give adoration, come, every nation
Hallelujah!
Truly the angel good news has revealed
To Bethlehem's shepherds as before him they kneeled
Now joy on earth to all men is here
Peace among all, banishes fear
Praise be to God!
Everybody likes to take a holiday
Everybody likes to take a rest
Spending time together with the family
Sharing lots of love and happiness.
Come on, ring those bells
Light the Christmas tree
Jesus is the king
Born for you and me.
Come on, ring those bells
Everybody say
Jesus, we remember
This your birthday.
Celebrations come because of something good
Celebrations we love to recall
Mary had a baby boy in Bethlehem
The greatest celebration of all.
Come on, ring those bells
Light the Christmas tree
Jesus is the King
Born for you and me.
Come on, ring those bells
Everybody say
Jesus, we remember
This your birthday.
Born to set Thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.
Israel's Strength and Consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art;
Dear Desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
Born Thy people to deliver,
Born a child and yet a King,
Born to reign in us forever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.
By Thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By Thine all sufficient merit,
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.
Let your songs of gladness ring
In a stable lies the Holy
In a manger rests the King
See in Mary's arms reposing
Christ by highest Heaven adored
Come, your circle round Him closing
Pious hearts that love the Lord.
Come ye poor, no pomp of station
Robes the Child your hearts adore
He, the Lord of all salvation
Shares your want, is weak and poor
Oxen, round about behold them
Rafters naked, cold, and bare
See the shepherds, God has told them
That the Prince of Life lies there.
Come, ye children, blithe and merry
This one Child your model make
Christmas holly, leaf, and berry
All be prized for His dear sake
Come ye gentle hearts and tender
Come ye spirits keen and bold
All in all your homage render
Weak and mighty, young and old.
High above a star is shining
And the wise men haste from far
Come, glad hearts, and spirits pining
For you all has ris'n the star
Let us bring our poor oblations
Thanks and love, and faith and praise
Come, ye people, come, ye nations
All in all draw nigh to gaze.
Hark! the Heaven of heavens is ringing
Christ the Lord to man is born!
Are not all our hearts, too, singing
Welcome, welcome, Christmas morn?
Still the Child, all power possessing
Smiles as through the ages past
And the song of Christmas blessing
Sweetly sinks to rest at last.
Just to think of all the cheer
We could share if you were here.
I made my Christmas list
That I'll give to my boy St.Nick
And I hope he hooks, hooks me up
Cause I plan a special Christmas for us.
I was hoping that you might be coming for Christmas
I was hoping that surely by New Years eve
I was hoping that you might be coming
And I hope that your bringing something for me.
Now we'll chill Christmas eve
I can't wait for my moms to leave
We'll snuggle, I'll turn down the lights
And give our gifts, if the timing is right.
I was hoping that you might be coming for Christmas
I was hoping that surely by New Years eve
I was hoping that you might be coming
And I hope that your bringing something for me.
For know I will and I hope that Santa won't be late
Cause I don't want no presents
See I am too old for toys, I just want my baby
She's my one and only, truly one and only, she's my only.
I was hoping that you might be coming for Christmas
I was hoping that surely by New Years eve
I was hoping that you might be coming
And I hope that your bringing something for me.
Tonight
While the moon is bright.
He's gonna have a bag of crazy toys
To give the groanies of the boys and girls
So dig
Santa comes on big.
He'll come a callin' when the snows the most
When all you cats are sleepin' warm as toast
And you gonna flip when Old Saint Nick
Takes a lick on the peppermint stick.
He'll come a flyin' from a higher place
And fill the stocking by the fire place
So you'll
Have a yule that's cool.
Yeah, from Coney Island to the Sunset Strip
Somebody's gonna make a happy trip
Tonight
While the moon is bright.
He's gonna have a bag of crazy toys
To give the groanies of the boys and girls
So dig
Santa comes on big.
He'll come a callin' when the snows the most
When all you cats are sleepin' warm as toast
And you gonna flip when Old Saint Nick
Takes a lick on the peppermint stick.

Lully, lullay, Thou little tiny Child
By, by, lully, lullay
Lullay, Thou little tiny Child
By, by, lully, lullay.
O sisters too, how may we do
For to preserve this day
This poor youngling for whom we sing
By, by, lully, lullay.
Herod the king, in his raging
Charged he hath this day
His men of might, in his own sight
All children young to slay.
That woe is me, poor Child for Thee!
And ever morn and day
For thy parting neither say nor sing
By, by, lully, lullay.
There'll be a new world beginnin' from tonight!
Where I climb up to my saddle
Gonna take Him to my heart!
There'll be a new world beginnin' from tonight!
Right across the prairie,
Clear across the valley,
Straight across the heart of every man,
There'll be a right new brand of livin'
That'll sweep like lightnin' fire
And take away the hate from every land.
Chorus:
There'll be a new world beginnin' from tonight!
There'll be a new world beginnin' from tonight!
Where I climb up to my saddle
Gonna take Him to my heart!
There'll be a new world beginnin' from tonight!
Yoi, yippee! We're gonna ride the trail!
Yoi, yippee! We're gonna ride today!
When I climb up to my saddle,
Gonna take him to my heart!
There'll be a new world beginnin' from tonight!
Chorus:
There'll be a new world beginnin' from tonight!
There'll be a new world beginnin' from tonight!
Where I climb up to my saddle
Gonna take Him to my heart!
There'll be a new world beginnin' from tonight!
Laid the Son of Man His head
Sleeping His first earthly slumber
Where the oxen had been fed.
Happy were those shepherds listening
To the holy angel's word
Happy they within that stable
Worshiping their infant Lord.
Happy all who hear the message
Of His coming from above
Happier still who hail His coming
And with praises greet His love.
Blessed Savior, Christ most holy
In a manger Thou didst rest
Canst Thou stoop again, yet lower
And abide within my breast?
Evil things are there before Thee
In the heart, where they have fed
Wilt Thou pitifully enter
Son of Man, and lay Thy head?
Enter, then, O Christ most holy
Make a Christmas in my heart
Make a heaven of my manger
It is heaven where Thou art.
And to those who never listened
To the message of Thy birth
Who have winter, but no Christmas
Bringing them Thy peace on earth
Send to these the joyful tidings
By all people, in each home
Be there heard the Christmas anthem
Praise to God, the Christ has come!
It tells of the coming of wonders untold
Forgotten is winter, its fury and cold
Hi-ho, hi-ho, well soon see the candles glow
Hi-ho, hi-ho, well soon see the candles glow.
When darkness is falling and shadows grow long
Its time for the children to sing this old song
It tells of the coming of wonders untold
Forgotten is winter, its fury and cold
Hi-ho, hi-ho, well soon see the candles glow
Hi-ho, hi-ho, well soon see the candles glow.
When darkness is falling and stars fill the sleigh
The waiting is over and we all know why
Its time for celebrating and having a feast
Because of the tidings that come from the east
Hi-ho, hi-ho, well soon see the candles glow
Hi-ho, hi-ho, well soon see the candles glow.
Low in a manger
Dear little Stranger
Jesus, the wonderful Savior was born
There was none to receive Him
None to believe Him
None but the angels were watching that morn.
Dear little Stranger
Slept in a manger
No downy pillow under His head
But with the poor
He slumbered secure
The dear little Babe in His bed.
Angels descending
Over Him bending
Chanted a tender and silent refrain
Then a wonderful story
Told of His glory
Unto the shepherds on Bethlehem's plain.
Dear little Stranger
Slept in a manger
No downy pillow under His head
But with the poor
He slumbered secure
The dear little Babe in His bed.
Dear little Stranger
Born in a manger
Maker and Monarch
And Savior of all
I will love Thee forever
Grieve Thee? No, never!
Thou didst for me make Thy bed in a stall.
Dear little Stranger
Slept in a manger
No downy pillow under His head
But with the poor
He slumbered secure
The dear little Babe in His bed.
I would like for Christmas
And I hope you won't forgot
I only want a peso
That I can have for mine
To get my senorita
Something for Christmas time
I don't believe you read the card
Last Christmas that I sent
You come to see the kids across the street
And then you went
Dear Senor Santa Claus
I think me understand
Sometimes the toys all gone
Before you reach the Rio Grande.
Dear Senor Santa Claus
I tell you what I think
I no got a stockin'
I set out my piggy bank
So please bring me peso
That I can have for mine
To get my senorita
Something for Christmas time
On Christmas Eve I watch for you
And I no sleep a wink
If I no get Lolita something
She feel sad I think
So please Senor Santa Claus
This Christmas be so grand
If I get peso to buy ring
For my Lolita's hand.
I don't know what I buy for her
I think I buy a rose
So she can wear it in her hair
Most everywhere she goes
Please Senor Santa Claus
This Christmas be so grand
If I get peso to buy ring
For my Lolita's hand
If I get peso to buy ring
For my Lolita's hand.
May your every New Year dream
Come true.
Sweet December song
The melody that saved me
On those less than silent nights
When snow would fall upon my bed
Like sugar from Jesus
And take me to the day
She could always smile
The Virgin n' Child would always show
You see
Just to save me
(Just to save me).
There was always Christmas time
To wipe the year away
I guess that Mum and Dad decided
That the war would have to wait.
There was always Christmas time
Jesus came to stay
I could believe in peace on Earth
And I could watch TV all day
So I dreamed of Christmas.
Maybe since you've gone
I went a little crazy
God knows they can see
(The Child)
But the snow that falls upon my bed
That loving I needed
Falls every single day
For each and every child
The Virgin smiles for all to see
But you kept her from me.
There was always Christmas time
To wipe the year away
I guess that Mum and Dad decided
That the war would have to wait.
There was always Christmas time
Jesus came to stay
I could believe in peace on Earth
And I could watch TV all day
And so I dreamed of Christmas
Yes, I dreamed like you.
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
May your every New Year dream
Come true.
While Bing Crosby sings white Christmas
He makes you feel nice.
December will be magic again
Old Saint Nicholas up the chimney
Just a-popping up in my memory.
Ooh, dropping down in my parachute
The white city, she is so beautiful
Upon the black-soot icicled roofs.
Ooh, and see how I fall
See how I fall
(Fall!)
Like the snow.
Come to cover the lovers
(Cover the lovers, but don't you wake them up)
Come to sparkle the dark up
(Sparkle the dark up, with just a touch of make-up)
Come to cover the muck up
(Cover the muck up, ooh, with a little luck).
December will be magic again
Light the candle lights
To conjure Mr. Wilde.
Into the Silent Night
Ooh, it's quiet inside
Here in Oscar's mind.
December will be magic again
Don't miss the brightest star
Kiss under mistletoe
I want to hear you laugh
Don't let the mystery go now.
Ooh, dropping down in my parachute
The white city, she is so beautiful
Upon the black-soot icicled roofs.
Ooh, and see how I fall
See how I fall
(Fall!)
Like the snow.
Come to cover the lovers
(Cover the lovers, but don't you wake them up)
Come to sparkle the dark up
(Sparkle the dark up, with just a touch of make-up)
Come to cover the muck up
(Cover the muck up, ooh, with a little luck).
Oh, I'm coming to cover the lovers
Ooh, and I'm coming to sparkle the dark up.
Deck the halls with boughs of holly

With his red suit on
Dig that walk, that crazy talk
Man, oh man, he's really gone.
Dig that crazy Santa Claus
With his bag of toys
Drags his sack
Through a chimney stack
All the little hep-cats jump for joy.
So cool it, Rudolph, cool it
With your nose aglow
Tell those groovy reindeer
When Santa starts to blow
Go, go.
Dig that crazy Santa Claus
Well, I do believe
He will bring some crazy toys
You better be good this Christmas Eve
Jump.
Jingle, jangle
Well, dig that crazy Santa Claus
With his red suit on
Dig that walk, that crazy talk
Man, oh man, he's really gone.
Dig that crazy Santa Claus
With his bag of toys
Drags his sack
Through a chimney stack
All the little hep-cats jump for joy.
So cool it, Rudolph, cool it
With your nose aglow
Tell those groovy reindeer
When Santa starts to blow
Go, go.
Dig that crazy Santa Claus
Well, I do believe
He will bring some crazy toys
You better be good this Christmas Eve.
The story of a Christmas bell
That used to shine
And chime and ring
And why they called him
Ding a Ling.
One of the famous jingle bells
Is what he was
But then he fell
And broke his pretty harmony
And he began to ring off key.
Now they call him
Ding a Ling
Because he has
A funny ring
And doesn't hear
His note too well
Ding a Ling
The Christmas bell.
The other bells met secretly
And he heard one say
In a real low key
He's sure to ruin
Our Christmas sound
And we don't want him
Hangin' around.
He over heard
The secret vote
And walked away
With a lump in his note
The saddest bell
You've ever seen
The Christmas bell
Called Ding a Ling.
They all call him
Ding a Ling
Because he has
A funny ring
And doesn't hear
His note too well
Ding a Ling
The Christmas bell.
The snow was falling
In the square
When the children
Found him there
And placed him
On the Christmas tree
For everyone in town to see.
As Christmas Eve
Came to the town
A blinding snow
Was coming down
And Ding a Ling
Heard someone say
Ol' Santa's sure
To lose his way.
The thought occured
To Ding a Ling
To ring as loud
As he could ring
And when ol' Santa
Heard the sound
It guided him to town.
Now the children shout and sing
And everyone loves
Ding a Ling
So everything has turned out well
For Ding a Ling
The Christmas bell.
Ring out the old
Ring in the new.
Ring out the false
Ring in the true
Ring out the old
Ring in the new.
Ding-dong, ding-dong
Ding-dong, ding-dong
Ding-dong, ding-dong

Yesterday
Today was tomorrow
And tomorrow
Today will be yesterday.
So, ring out the old
Ring in the new
Ring out the old
Ring in the new.
Ring out the false
Ring in the true
Ring out the old
Ring in the new.

In heav'n the bells are ringing
Ding dong! verily the sky

Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

And "Io, io, io!"
By priest and people sungen
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
Pray you, dutifully prime
Your matin chime, ye ringers

There's no need to be afraid
At Christmastime, we let in light And we banish shade
And in our world of plenty
We can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around
The world at Christmastime.
But say a prayer..
Pray for the other ones
At Christmastime it's hard
But when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing
Is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that
Ring there are the clanging
Chimes of doom
Well, tonight thank God
It's them instead of you.
And there won't be snow
In Africa this Christmastime
The greatest gift they'll get
This year is life
(Oooh) Where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
(Here's to you) raise a glass for everyone
(Here's to them) underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world.
Let them know
It's Christmastime again.
Feed the world
Let them know
It's Christmastime again.
Said the night wind to the little lamb
"Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite."
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
"Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song high above the trees
With a voice as big as the the sea
With a voice as big as the the sea."
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
"Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what I know?
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold."
Said the king to the people everywhere
"Listen to what I say!
Pray for peace, people, everywhere
Listen to what I say!
The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light."

Chingedy ching

The Italian Christmas donkey.
(la la la-la la-la la la la la)
(la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)
Santa's got a little friend
His name is Dominick
The cutest little donkey
You never see him kick
When Santa visits his paisans
With Dominick he'll be
Because the reindeer cannot
Climb the hills of Italy.

Jingle bells around his feet
And presents on the sled
Hey! Look at the mayor's derby
On top of Dominick's head
A pair of shoes for Louie
And a dress for Josephine
The labels on the inside says
They're made in Bruccalin'.
Hey! Chingedy ching

Children sing, and clap their hands

They talk Italian to him
And he even understands
Cummare's and Cumpare's
Do the dance 'a tarantell'
When Santa Nicola comes to town
And brings 'o ciucciarell'.

Baby, it's not your sleigh ride
But this year is ours
Maybe tomorrow
We're gonna see things
We never believed
I'll make you want me
You'll see
The initial warning is free
But only to reindeer
Oh what a sight
As they take their first flight
Oh darling, it's all in time
But I will.
We're going to turn
All men in to the sky
Oh what a sight, beautiful
And I will
I will sleep tonight
I will sleep tonight.
Santa: That's funny, kid
Because, I've been coming for you.
Flowers: Oh, Santa
I've been killing just for fun.
Santa: Well, the party's over kid
Because I
Because I got a bullet in my gun.
Flowers : A bullet in your what?
Band: Santa's got a bullet in his gun
You know it
Santa's got a bullet in his gun.
Flowers: Don't shoot me Santa Claus
I've been a clean living boy
I promise you
Did every little thing you asked me to
I can't believe the things I'm going through.
Flowers: Don't shoot me Santa Claus
Well, no one else around believes me
But the children on the block, they tease me
I couldn't let them off that easy
Oh Santa.
Flowers: It's been a real hard year.
Santa: There just ain't no gettin' around this
Life is hard
But look at me
I turned out alright.
Flowers: Hey Santa!
Why don't we talk about it?
Work it out?
Santa: Believe me
This ain't what I wanted
I love all you kids
You know that.
Santa: Hell, I remember when you were just 10 years old
Playing out there in the desert
Just waiting for a sip of that sweet Mojave rain.
Band: In the sweet Mojave rain
The boy was on his own.
Flowers: Don't shoot me Santa Claus
I've been a clean living boy
I promise you
Did every little thing you asked me to
I can't believe the things I'm going through.
Flowers: Hey Santa!
Well, no one else around believes me
But the children on the block, they tease me
I couldn't let them off that easy.
Flowers: They had it coming
So, why can't you see?
I couldn't turn my cheek no longer
The sun is going down and Christmas is near
Just look the other way
I'll disappear forever.
Woo!
Flowers: Don't shoot me Santa Claus
Well, no one else around believes me
But the children on the street, they tease me
I couldn't let them off that easy.
Believe
Me
Santa
Santa.

Down in yon forest there stands a hall
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring
It's covered all over with purple and pall
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.
In that hall there stands a bed
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring
It's covered all over with scarlet so red
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.
At the bed side there lies a stone
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring
Which the sweet Virgin Mary knelt upon
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.
Under that bed there runs a flood
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring
The one half runs water, the other runs blood
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.
At the bed's foot there grows a thorn
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring
Which ever blows blossom since he was born
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.
Over that bed the moon shines bright
The bells of Paradise I heard them ring
Denoting our Saviour was born this night
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.
Oh, I cant wait to see those faces
Im driving home for Christmas, yeah!
Well, I'm moving down that line
And its been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas.
Its gonna take some time
But I'll get there
Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights on the run
But soon there'll be a freeway
Get my feet on holy ground.
So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get through
And feel you near me
I am driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories.
I take look at the driver next to me
He's just the same
Just the same.
Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights on the run
I am driving home for Christmas, yeah!
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get through
And feel you near me
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories.

Treasures found

But I'm so sentimental
And I'm so hopeful you'll be there
So, here I am every year, every Christmas.
I've wished for you in my heart, and in my head
And I got my answer that first moment that we met
And, oh yes, I believed you as you told me, as you said
You'd be here every year, every Christmas.
There must be a lesson for me to learn
If you don't trust in love, you'll get nothing in return
Why should I be lonely, don't tell me it's right
I have my pride, but I'd rather be with you tonight.
So much emotion, it's driving me mad
But I'll take my chances with these feelings that I have
And I'll come back to this same corner where we met
And I'll be here every year, every Christmas.
Mere words can't explain the pain and the fear
'Cause oh, I wonder, yes, I wonder, are you gonna leave me standing here?
Today's almost over, but I don't want to leave
Has my heart made a fool out of me?
My friends gather round me with holiday cheer
They say to forget you, to let you go 'cause you're not here
Well, I can't keep explaining what they'll never understand
And why I'm here every year, every Christmas
I return every year, every Christmas
I come here every year, every Christmas.
December rolled around
And you were counting on it to roll out.
Well, everything's gonna be cool this Christmas
Everything's gonna be cool this Christmas
Everything's gonna be cool this Christmas.
Well everybody's lookin' for you down at the house
The tree is looking so inspired
There's a yuletide groove waitin' for you to move
I'll go and throw another log on the fire.
Everything's gonna be cool this Christmas
Everything's gonna be cool this Christmas
Everything's gonna be cool this Christmas.
As days go by the more we need friends
And the harder they are to find
If I could have a friend like you all my life
Well I guess I'd be doin' just fine.
Everything's gonna be cool this Christmas
Everything's gonna be cool this Christmas
Everything's gonna be cool this Christmas.
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me
"Won't see another one"
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you.
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you.
So happy Christmas
I love you, baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true.
They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old.
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me.
You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night.
The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day.
You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead
On a drip in that bed.
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas, your arse
I pray God it's our last.
I could have been someone
Well, so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you.
I kept them with me, babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you.
Shepherds of old heard the joyous strains.
Refrain:
Glory to God, glory to God,
Glory to God in the highest;
Peace on earth, good will to men;
Peace on earth, good will to men.
Sweet are these strains of redeeming love,
Message of mercy from heaven above.
Refrain:
Glory to God, glory to God,
Glory to God in the highest;
Peace on earth, good will to men;
Peace on earth, good will to men.
Lord, with the angels we too would rejoice;
Help us to sing with the heart and voice.
Refrain:
Glory to God, glory to God,
Glory to God in the highest;
Peace on earth, good will to men;
Peace on earth, good will to men.
Hasten the time when, from every clime,
Men shall unite in the strains sublime.
Refrain:
Glory to God, glory to God,
Glory to God in the highest;
Peace on earth, good will to men;
Peace on earth, good will to men.

Prosperous new year and happiness.
Christmas break, a time for touching home
The heart of all he'd known
And leaving was so hard.
Three thousand miles away
Now he's working Christmas Day
Making double time for the minding of the store
Well, he always said, he'd make it on his own
He's spending Christmas Eve alone
First Christmas away from home.
She's standing by the train station
Pan-handling for change
Four more dollars buys a decent meal and a room
Looks like the Sally Ann place after all
In a crowded sleeping hall
That echoes like a tomb.
But it's warm and clean and free
And there are worse places to be
At least it means no beating from her Dad
And if she cries because it's Christmas Day
She hopes that it won't show
First Christmas away from home.
In the apartment stands a tree
And it looks so small and bare
Not like it was meant to be
Golden angel on the top
It's not that same old silver star
You wanted for your own
First Christmas away from home.
In the morning, they get prayers
Then it's crafts and tea downstairs
Then another meal back in his little room
Hoping maybe that the boys
Will think to phone before the day is gone
Well, it's best they do it soon.
When the old girl passed away
He fell apart more every day
Each had always kept the other pretty well
But the kids all said, the nursing home was best
Cause he couldn't live alone
First Christmas away from home.
In the common room, they've got the biggest tree
And it's huge and cold and lifeless
Not like it ought to be
And the lit-up flashing Santa Claus on top
It's not that same old silver star
You once made for your own
First Christmas away from home.
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay tending their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east, beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
And by the light of that same star
Three Wise Men came from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
This star drew nigh to the northwest
Over Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
Then did they know assuredly
Within that house the King did lie
One entered it them for to see
And found the Babe in poverty.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
Then entered in those Wise Men three
Full reverently upon the knee
And offered there, in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
Between an ox stall and an ass
This Child truly there He was
For want of clothing they did Him lay
All in a manger, among the hay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made Heaven and earth of naught
And with His blood mankind hath bought.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
If we in our time shall do well
We shall be free from death and hell
For God hath prepared for us all
A resting place in general.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
When it drifted to and frost
Why you should've seen the snow
It was near seven feet or more
By the old barn door.
Oh the first snowfall of the winter
What a joy for a boy to behold
In each house you'll find a sleigh
That was waiting for this day
And of course, down the road a hill
For each Jack and Jill.
Every winter breeze that scurries
Sets the snowflakes up in flurries
It's the good old sentimental season when
Folks put runners on their surreys
And forget about their worries
When a man becomes a boy once again.
Oh, the first snowfall of the winter
Jingle bells bring us spells ever dear
Under wintry skies of gray
It was snowing all the day
And it showed no signs of stopping
Every kid with eyes of popping
Will soon be belly-whopping on his ear.
On the first snowfall of the winter
Oh, the first snowfall of the year
The first snow of the year
Is just about the best snow
Well, I'll say any snow
Is a pretty good show.
We got the lights up on the tree now
And we're ready for the holiday.
The radio's playing all the Christmas songs
Just the way that we like
There's only five more days
And I can't wait
It's almost Christmas time.
There's 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 more days
All around the world
You know there's 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 more days
For every boy and girl.
Five more nights for Santa
To get ready for Christmas Eve
And you tell me that you got me something
But I'm gonna have to wait and see.
Everybody get a little closer now
You know we're gonna do it right
There's only five more days and I can't wait
It's almost Christmas time.
There's 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 more days
All around the world
You know there's 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 more days
For every boy and girl.
Everybody ready for their favorite holiday
All around, counting down
You know there's only five more days.
The radio's playing all the Christmas songs
Just the way that we like
There's only one more week and I can't wait
It's almost Christmas time.
There's 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 more days
All around the world
You know there's 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 more days
For every boy and girl.
There's five more days, five more days
Been waiting so long for this
Then four more days, four more days
Gonna get my Christmas wish
Now it's three more days, three more days
'Til the best time of the year
Everybody say, two more days, one more day
And now Christmas is finally here.
I've been waiting for a long, long time
And Christmas is finally here.
Unto us a Son is given
And the government
Shall be upon His shoulder
And his name shall be called Wonderful
Counselor
The Mighty God
The Everlasting Father
The Prince of Peace.
From heaven above to earth I come
To bear good news to every home
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
Whereof I now will say and sing.
"To you this night is born a child
Of Mary, chosen virgin mild
This little child, of lowly birth
Shall be the joy of all the earth."
"This is the Christ, our God and Lord
Who in all need shall aid afford
He will Himself your Savior be
From all your sins to set you free."
"He will on you the gifts bestow
Prepared by God for all below
That in His kingdom, bright and fair
You may with us His glory share."
"These are the tokens ye shall mark
The swaddling-clothes and manger dark
There ye shall find the Infant laid
By whom the heavens and earth were made."
Now let us all with gladsome cheer
Go with the shepherds and draw near
To see the precious gift of God,
Who hath His own dear Son bestowed.
Give heed, my heart, lift up thine eyes!
What is it in yon manger lies?
Who is this child, so young and fair?
The blessed Christ-child lieth there.
Welcome to earth, Thou noble Guest,
Through whom the sinful world is blest!
Thou com'st to share my misery
What thanks shall I return to Thee?
Ah, Lord, who hast created all
How weak art Thou, how poor and small
That Thou dost choose Thine infant bed
Where humble cattle lately fed!
Were earth a thousand times as fair
Beset with gold and jewels rare
It yet were far too poor to be
A narrow cradle, Lord, for Thee.
For velvets soft and silken stuff
Thou hast but hay and straw so rough
Whereon Thou, King, so rich and great
As 'twere Thy heaven, art throned in state.
And thus, dear Lord, it pleaseth Thee
To make this truth quite plain to me
That all the world's wealth, honor, might
Are naught and worthless in Thy sight.
Ah, dearest Jesus, holy Child
Make Thee a bed, soft, undefiled
Within my heart, that it may be
A quiet chamber kept for Thee.
My heart for very joy doth leap
My lips no more can silence keep
I, too, must sing with joyful tongue
That sweetest ancient cradle-song.
Glory to God in highest heaven
Who unto us His Son hath given!
While angels sing with pious mirth
A glad new year to all the earth.
Frosty the snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe
And a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal.
Frosty the snowman
Is a fairy tale, they say
He was made of snow
But the children know
How he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic
In that old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around.
Frosty the snowman
Was alive as he could be
And the children say he could laugh
And play just the same as you and me.
Thumpetty thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpetty thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow.
Frosty the snowman
Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said, "Let's run
And we'll have some fun
Now, before I melt away".
Down to the village
With a broomstick in his hand
Running here and there
All around the square
Saying, "catch me if you can".
He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler "Stop!"
Frosty the snow man
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye
Saying, "Don't you cry,
I'll be back again some day".
Thumpetty thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpetty thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow.
Twenty fifth Day of December
Fum, fum, fum!
Twenty fifth Day of December
Fum, fum, fum!
For the love of man is given
The holy infant, son of heaven
Of the holy virgin springing
Peace on earth and good will bringing
Fum, fum, fum!
Birds that live within the forest
Fum, fum, fum!
Birds that live within the forest
Fum, fum, fum!
All you fledglings leave behind
And seek the infant Saviour kind.
Build, as well as you are able
Downy nest to be his cradle
Fum, fum, fum!
Little stars up in the heavens
Fum, fum, fum!
Little stars up in the heavens
Fum, fum, fum!
If you see the baby cry
O, do not answer with a sigh
From the skies your radiance beaming
Pierce the darkness with your gleaming
Fum, fum, fum!
The angel Gabriel from heaven came
With wings as drifted snow, with eyes as flame
"All hail to thee, O lowly maiden Mary
Most highly favored lady. Gloria!"
"For know a blessed mother thou shalt be
All generations laud and honor thee
Thy son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold
Most highly favored lady." Gloria!
Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head
"To me be as it pleaseth God," she said
"My soul shall laud and magnify God's holy name."
"Most highly favored lady." Gloria!
Of her, Emmanuel, the Christ, was born
In Bethlehem all on a Christmas morn
And Christian folk through-out the world will ever say
"Most highly favored lady." Gloria!
Rejoice, rejoice!
Christ is born
Of the Virgin Mary
Rejoice!
It is now the time of grace
That we have desired
Let us sing songs of joy
Let us give devotion
God was made man
And nature marvels
The world was renewed
By Christ who is King.
The closed gate of Ezekiel
Has been passed through
From where the light rises
Salvation is found
Therefore let our assembly now sing
Sing the Psalms to purify us
Let it praise the Lord.
Latin
Gaudete, gaudete!
Christus est natus
Ex Maria virgine
Gaudete!
Tempus adest gratiae
Hoc quod optibamus
Carmina laetitiae
Devote redamus
Deus homo factus est
Natura mirante
Mundus renovatus est
A Christo regnante.
Ezechielis porta
Clausa pertransitur
Unde lux est orta
Salus invenitur
Ergo nostra cantio
Psallat iam in lustro
Benedicat Domino
Salus Regi nostro.
Gentle Mary laid her Child
Lowly in a manger
There He lay, the undefiled
To the world a Stranger.
Such a Babe in such a place
Can he be the Saviour?
Ask the saved of all the race
Who have found His favor.
Angels sang about His birth,
Wise men sought and found Him;
Heaven's star shone brightly forth
Glory all around Him.
Shepherds saw the wondrous sight,
Heard the angels singing;
All the plains were lit that night,
All the hills were ringing.
Gentle Mary laid her Child
Lowly in a manger;
He is still the undefiled,
But no more a Stranger.
Son of God of humble birth,
Beautiful the story;
Praise His Name in all the earth,
Hail! the King of Glory!
When blossoms flower e'er 'mid the snow
Upon a winter night
Was born the Child, the Christmas Rose
The King of Love and Light.
The angels sang, the shepherds sang
The grateful earth rejoiced
And at His blessed birth the stars
Their exultation voiced.
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord.
Again the heart with rapture glows
To greet the holy night
That gave the world its Christmas Rose
Its King of Love and Light.
Let ev'ry voice acclaim His name
The grateful chorus swell
From paradise to earth He came
That we with Him might dwell.
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord.
Give heed, my heart, lift up thine eyes
What is it in that manger lies?
Who is the Child so young and fair?
The blessed Christ Child lieth there.
My heart for very joy doth leap
My lips no more can silence keep
I, too, must sing, with joyful tongue
That sweetest, dearest cradle song.
Glory to God in highest heaven
Who unto man His Son has given
While angels sing, our hearts to cheer
To all the earth a glad new year!
It's a time to be kind
To one and all
It's that time of year
When good friends are dear
And you wish
You could give more
Than just presents
From a store.
Why don't you
Give love on Christmas day?
(On Christmas day)
Oh, even the man
Who has everything
Would be so happy
If you would bring him
Love on Christmas day
(On Christmas day)
No greater gift is there
Than love.
People you don't know
Smiling out hello
Everywhere
There's an air of Christmas joy
It's that once a year
When the world's sincere
And you'd like to find a way
To show the things
That words can't say.
Why don't you
Give love on Christmas day?
(On Christmas day)
The man on the street
And the couple upstairs
All need to know
There's someone one cares
Give love on Christmas day
(Christmas day)
No greater gift is there
Than love
What the world needs
Is love
Yes, the world needs
Your love.
Why don't you
Give love on Christmas day?
(On Christmas Day)
Oh, every little child
On Santa's knee
Has room for your love
Underneath his tree.
Give love on Christmas day
(Christmas day)
No greater gift is there
Than love
What the world needs
Is love
Yes, the world needs
Your love.
Let every beat, sing to repeat
Our love will last each moment of the year.
Just give me your heart for Christmas
Only your love will do
And with each sigh, you'll know that I
Have given you my heart for Christmas, too.
And when it's Christmas eve
We'll sit around the tree
And hear the church bells ring
They're ringing for you and me.
So, give me your heart
Give me your heart darling, for Christmas
Open it wide for me, just for Christmas
And in return my love will burn
As bright as every candle on the tree
Give me your heart for Christmas.
Your music tells
The sweet and pleasant story;
How came to earth
In lowly birth
The Lord of life and glory.
No palace hall
Its ceiling tall
His kingly head spread over;
There only stood
A stable rude
The heavenly Babe to cover.
No raiment gay
As there He lay
Adorned the infant Stranger;
Poor, humble Child
Of mother mild
She laid Him in a manger.
But from afar
A splendid star
The wise men westward turning;
The livelong night
Saw pure and bright
Above His birth place burning.
Gloria in excelsis deo
Et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis
Laudamus te
Benedicimus te
Adoramus te
Glorificamus te
Gratias agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam
Domine Deus, Rex caelestis, Deus Pater omnipotens
Domine fili unigenite, Jesu Christe
Domine Deus, Agnus Dei, Filius patris
Qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis
Qui tollis peccata mundi suscipe deprecationem nostram
Qui sedes ad dexteram patris miserere nobis
Quoniam tu solus sanctus
Tu solus Dominus
Tu solus Altissimus, Jesu Christe
Cum Sancto Spiritu in gloria Dei Patris.
Amen.

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.
While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light.
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.
The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo! above the earth
Rang out the angels chorus
That hailed the Savior's birth.
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.
Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn.
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
Our Jesus Christ is born.
When I was a seeker
I sought both night and day
I asked the Lord to help me
And he showed me the way.
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
Our Jesus Christ is born.
He made me a watchman
Upon a city wall
And if I am a Christian
I am the least of all.
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
Our Jesus Christ is born.
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember, Christ, our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy.
In Bethlehem in Israel
This blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
The which His Mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy.
From God our Heavenly Father
A blessed Angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by Name
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy.
"Fear not then," said the Angel
"Let nothing you affright
This day is born a Saviour
Of a pure Virgin bright
To free all those who trust in Him
From Satan's power and might."
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy.
The shepherds at those tidings
Rejoiced much in mind
And left their flocks a-feeding
In tempest, storm and wind
And went to Bethlehem straightway
The Son of God to find
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy.
And when they came to Bethlehem
Where our dear Saviour lay
They found Him in a manger
Where oxen feed on hay
His Mother Mary kneeling down
Unto the Lord did pray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy.
Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christmas
All other doth deface
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy.
And the butter light of candlesticks
Chases snowflakes off the bricks.
The postman is shivering
With packages he's delivering
Ribbons pulled and try to hide
Wishes waiting warm inside.
And everything looks better in gold and green
The lights on the trees shining all through the city
Are the prettiest I've ever seen
And the world decides to sleep safe tonight.
The carolers, they sing noel
Silent night and silver bells
And all around you snow will fall
Like confetti stars and paper dolls.
And everything looks better in gold and green
The lights on the trees in the eyes of our children
Are the prettiest I've ever seen
And the world decides to sleep safe tonight.
The first noel
The angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields where they lay.
Everything looks better in gold and green
Everything looks better in gold and green
Everything looks better in gold and green
Everything looks better in gold and green
Everything looks better
Everything looks better.
Good Christian men, rejoice
With heart and soul, and voice
Give ye heed to what we say
News! News! Jesus Christ is born today;
Ox and ass before Him bow;
And He is in the manger now
Christ is born today!
Christ is born today!
Good Christian men, rejoice
With heart and soul and voice
Now ye hear of endless bliss
Joy! Joy! Jesus Christ was born for this!
He has opened the heavenly door
And man is blest forevermore
Christ was born for this!
Christ was born for this!
Good Christian men, rejoice
With heart and soul and voice
Now ye need not fear the grave
Peace! Peace! Jesus Christ was born to save!
Calls you one and calls you all
To gain His everlasting hall.
Christ was born to save!
Christ was born to save
Good King Wenceslas looked out on the Feast of Stephen
When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even.
Brightly shone the moon that night, though the frost was cruel
When a poor man came in sight, gathering winter fuel.
"Hither, page, and stand by me, if you know it, telling
Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?"
"Sire, he lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain
Right against the forest fence, by Saint Agnes' fountain."
"Bring me food and bring me wine, bring me pine logs hither
You and I will see him dine, when we bear them thither."
Page and monarch, forth they went, forth they went together,
Through the cold wind's wild lament and the bitter weather.
"Sire, the night is darker now, and the wind blows stronger,
Fails my heart, I know not how; I can go no longer."
"Mark my footsteps, my good page, tread now in them boldly,
You shall find the winter's rage freeze your blood less coldly."
In his master's steps he trod, where the snow lay dinted
Heat was in the very sod which the saint had printed.
Therefore, Christian men, be sure, wealth or rank possessing,
You who now will bless the poor shall yourselves find blessing.
Good people all, this Christmas time
Consider well and bear in mind
What our good God for us has done
In sending His beloved Son.
With thankful heart we should pray
To God with love this Christmas day
In Bethlehem upon that morn
There was a blessed Messiah born!
The night before that happy tide
The noble virgin and her guide
Were long time seeking up and down
To find a lodging in the town.
But mark how all things came to pass
From every door repelled, alas!
As long foretold, their refuge all
Was but an humble oxen's stall.
There were three wise men from afar
Directed by a glorious star
And on they wandered night and day
Until they came where Jesus lay.
And when they came unto that place
Where our beloved Messiah was
They humbly cast them at His feet
With gifts of gold and incense sweet.
Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep
Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep
To whom God's angels did appear
Which put the shepherds in great fear.
"Prepare and go", the angels said
"To Bethlehem, be not afraid
For there you'll find, this happy morn
A princely babe, sweet Jesus born".
With happy heart and joyful mind
The shepherds went the babe to find
And as God's angel had foretold
They did our Saviour Christ behold.
Within a manger He was laid
And by His side the virgin maid
Attending on the Lord of life
Who came on earth to end all strife.
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
She'd been drinking too much eggnog,
And we begged her not to go
But she forgot her medication
And she staggered out the door into the snow.
When we found her Christmas morning
At the scene of the attack
She had hoof-prints on her forehead
And incriminating Claus marks on her back.
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
Now we're all so proud of Grandpa
He's been taking this so well
See him in there watching football,
Drinking root beer
And playing cards with Cousin Mel.
It's not Christmas without Grandma
All the family's dressed in black
And we just can't help but wonder
Should we open up her gifts
Or send them back?
Send them back!
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
Now the goose is on the table
And the pudding made of fig
And the blue and silver candles
That would just have matched
The hair on grandma's wig.
I've warned all my friends and neighbors
Better watch out for yourselves,
They should never give a license
To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies.
Well, I'm all grown up now
And still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream.
So here's my lifelong wish
My grown up Christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need.
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal the heart
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up Christmas list.
As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath the tree.
But heaven surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul.
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
Oh, this is my grown up Christmas list.
What is this illusion
Called the innocence of youth?
Maybe only in our blind belief
Can we ever find the truth.
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end, oh
This is my grown up Christmas list
This is my only life long wish
This is my grown up Christmas list.
Blessed are you among women
And blest is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners now
And at the hour of death
Amen.
Refrain:
Gentle woman, quiet light
Morning star, so strong and bright
Gentle Mother, peaceful dove
Teach us wisdom; teach us love.
You were chosen by the Father
You were chosen for the Son
You were chosen from all women
And for woman
Shining one.
Refrain:
Gentle woman, quiet light
Morning star, so strong and bright
Gentle Mother, peaceful dove
Teach us wisdom; teach us love.
Blessed are you among women
Blest in turn all women, too
Blessed they with peaceful spirits
Blessed they with gentle hearts.
Refrain:
Gentle woman, quiet light
Morning star, so strong and bright
Gentle Mother, peaceful dove
Teach us wisdom; teach us love.
Happy birthday to You
Happy birthday, Dear Jesus
Happy birthday to You.
Happy birthday, Jesus
I'm so glad its Christmas
All the tinsel and lights
And the presents are nice
But the real gift is You.
Happy birthday Jesus
I'm so glad its Christmas
All the carols and bells
Make the holiday swell
And it's all about You
Happy birthday Jesus
Jesus, I Love You!
While the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true.
Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy Holidays to you.
It's the holiday season
And Santa Claus is coming back
The Christmas snow is white on the ground
When old Santa gets into town
He'll be coming down the chimney, down
Coming down the chimney, down.
It's the holiday season
And Santa Claus has got a toy
For every good girl and good little boy
He's a great big bundle of joy
He'll be coming down the chimney, down
Coming down the chimney, down.
He'll have a big fat pack upon his back
And lots of goodies for you and me
So leave a peppermint stick for old St.Nick
Hanging on the Christmas tree.
It's the holiday season
With the whoop-de-do and hickory dock
And don't forget to hang up your sock
"Cause just exactly at 12 o'clock
He'll be coming down the chimney
Coming down the chimney
Coming down the chimney, down!
Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
While the merry bells keep bringing
Happy Holidays to you.
Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy Holidays to you
To you
Happy Holiday.
Look at the happiness in their eyes
They're glad it's Christmas.
People carolin' into the night
Where the snow is fallin'
There are sleigh bells rides tonight
We'll snuggle to a nice warm fire
I'm glad it's Christmas.
But before the snow gets under way
Think of how much love you wish to give today
Then wonder why we can't give it all every day
There is no reason, every season needs love.
People really need one another
Men, women, boy, girl, sister and brother
We wish to
Wish happy holidays to you
(Happy holidays, happy holidays)
Happy holidays to you.
And for this holiday season celebration
Let's lift our hands to the holy nation
To say thank You, Father
Happy Birthday to Your Son
Happy holidays to you.
Hope is the strength we need
Love is to share with men
Peace is to be with everyone.
Happy holidays to you
(Happy holidays, happy holidays)
To you, yeah
Happy holidays to you
(Happy holidays, happy holidays)
People really need one another
Men, women, boy, girl, sister and brother

Maybe I'll move somewhere
Maybe I'll get a car
Maybe I'll drive so far
They'll all lose track
Me, I'll bounce right back.
Maybe I'll sleep real late
Maybe I'll lose some weight
Maybe I'll clear my junk
Maybe I'll just get drunk on apple wine.
Me, I'll be just
Fine and Dandy
Lord, it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down.
I'll be fine and dandy
Lord, it's like a hard candy Christmas

But still I won't let
Sorrow get me way down.
Hey, maybe I'll learn to sew
Maybe I'll just lie low
Maybe I'll hit the bars
Maybe I'll count the stars until dawn
Me, I will go on.
Maybe I'll settle down
Maybe I'll just leave town
Maybe I'll have some fun
Maybe I'll meet someone
And make him mine.
Me, I'll be just
Fine and dandy
Lord it's like a hard candy Christmas
I'm barely getting through tomorrow
But still I won't let
Sorrow bring me way down.

Hark, the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
Christ, by highest heaven adored
Christ, the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of a Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see
Hail, the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel.
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
Hail, the heaven-born Prince of Peace!
Hail, the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth.
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
I don't want to hear about your new boyfriend
I don't want to hear about it all working out for you
No, I don't want to hear it now.
I don't want to hear about your swinging new place
I don't want to hear how everyone thinks its great
I just want to sit in our apartment and hate you
Yes, I will be hating you for Christmas.
You can have the Christmas tree
Remember when we bought it at the store down the street?
Remember when I found that cheesy color wheel?
I don't want to think about the lights on your white skin
No, I don't want to think about it.
I don't want to think about last year at your dad's
You said it was the best sex that we both ever had
I don't want to think about my face in your soft hair
I will be hating you for Christmas.
I will be hating you for Christmas
I will be hating you for Christmas
I will be hating you for Christmas
I will be hating you for Christmas
I will be hating you for Christmas
I will be hating you for Christmas
I will be hating you for Christmas
I must be losing my mind
There's gotta be a better way to deal with the pain
There's gotta be a better way to deal with the hate
Wish that I could find some way to make you go away
Wish that I could have a drink and make you fade
I wish that I could have myself a drink and make you fade
I wish that I could have a drink and make you go away
Yeah, make you go away
Wish that I could make you go away
I will be hating you for Christmas
Yeah, I will be hating you for Christmas
Thanks for the Christmas card.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on
Our troubles will be out of sight.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on
Our troubles will be miles away.
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Through the years
We all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
He is born, the divine Christ child
Play on the oboe and bagpipes merrily
He is born, the divine Christ child
Sing we all of the Saviour's birth.
Through long ages of the past
Prophets have foretold his coming
Through long ages of the past
Now the time has come at last.
Oh, how lovely, oh, how pure
Is this perfect child of heaven
Oh, how lovely, oh, how pure
Gracious gift of God, to man.
Jesus, Lord of all the world
Coming as a child among us
Jesus, Lord of all the world
Grant to us Thy heav'nly peace.
Sin demanded justice
At a price we could not pay;
But God displayed his mercy
The greatest gift of love
When we could not reach heaven
Heaven came to us.
Chorus:
He made a way in a manger
A way to the cross
Messiah the promised
Before time had begun;
For God so loved this world
Though he knew what love would cost
He made a way in a manger
To make a way to the cross.
In Bethlehem a stable
Became a throne of grace
As God himself our Savior
Drew near to take our place;
His mother smiled in wonder
As shepherds stood in awe
The sacrifice of heaven
Lay sleeping in the straw.
Bridge:
He is the life that died our death
The precious Lord Jesus
Laid down his sweet head.
Chorus:
He made a way in a manger
A way to the cross
Messiah, the promised
Before time had begun;
For God so loved this world
Though He knew what love would cost
He made a way in a manger
To make a way to the cross.
Away in a manger, no crib for his bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
Hardly what she pictured
In the prophecies of old
It seemed almost impossible
To think it could be true
But as she pondered in her heart
She knew.
This was heaven's Child
This was heaven's Child
In an earthen vessel
Wrapped in Glory, meek and mild
Joseph wept with wonder
As Mary sweetly smiled
Because they knew
This was heaven's Child
The angels must have missed Him
As they sang Him to sleep
But they marveled at the promises
This baby came to keep
His Father must have felt at once
Great sadness and great joy
As He watched His little baby boy.
This was heaven's Child
This was heaven's Child
In an earthen vessel
Wrapped in Glory, meek and mild
Joseph wept with wonder
As Mary sweetly smiled
Because they knew
This was heaven's Child
Mary's little baby boy
Was Joseph's pride and joy
Still they wished the world would see
He was so much more.
He was heaven's Child
He was heaven's Child
In an earthen stable
Wrapped in glory, meek and mild
Joseph wept with wonder
As Mary sweetly smiled
Because they knew
This was heaven's Child.
Because they knew
This was heaven's Child.

All is merry and bright.
Hang your stockings and say your prayers
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

He's got a bag that is filled with toys
For the boys and girls again.

Jump in bed, cover up your head
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Good Master and good Mistress
As you sit by the fire
Pray think of us poor children
Wandering in the mire.
Love and joy come to you
And to you your wassail too
And God bless you and send you
A happy New Year
And God send you a happy New Year.
We have a little purse
Made of ratching leather skin
We want some of your small change
To line it well within.
Love and joy come to you
And to your wassail too
And God bless you and send you
A happy New Year
And God send you a happy New Year.
Call up the Butler of this house
Put on his golden ring
Let him bring us a glass of beer
And the better we shall sing.
Love and joy come to you
And to you your wassail too
And God bless you and send you
A happy New Year
And God send you a happy New Year.
Bring us out a table
And spread it with a cloth
Bring us out a mouldy cheese
And some of your Christmas loaf.
Love and joy come to you
And to you your wassail too
And God bless you and send you
A happy New Year
And God send you a happy New Year.
God bless the Master of this house
Likewise the Mistress too
And all the little children
That round the table go.
Love and joy come to you
And to you your wassail too
And God bless you and send you
A happy New Year
And God send you a happy New Year.

I'm running late
I'm all alone
Wishing I was home with you, baby
She's got her way of making things okay
And when she's not around
When she's not around
I'm going crazy
We like to talk
About the plans we make
And things we say
When we're together
I hope for better weather this year
But you my dear, need to know
This year I want you alone.
Ho ho hopefully
This holiday will make us believe that
We're exactly where we're supposed to be
And we're ho ho hoping that we all come back
And as a matter of fact I know
We're exactly where we're supposed to be
Together by this Christmas tree.
We go together
Like the winter and this sweater
And she makes me feel
She makes me feel alive inside
And when I look into her eyes
I see the blue and green
Like Christmas lights
Like Christmas lights
Oh, what a sight!
She says I've got a way
Of making everything okay
She's not alone
She's not alone and never will be
Ho ho hopefully
This year, I have you alone.
Ho ho hopefully
This holiday will make us believe that
We're exactly where we're supposed to be
And we're ho ho hoping that we all come back
And as a matter of fact I know
We're exactly where we're supposed to be
Together by this Christmas tree.
Baby I want you alone!
Ho ho hopefully
This holiday will make us believe that
We're exactly where we're supposed to be
And we're ho ho hoping that we all come back
And as a matter of fact I know
We're exactly where we're supposed to be
Together by this Christmas tree.
Ooh
Together just you and me
Together by the Christmas tree.
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow
But have a cup of cheer.
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say "Hello" to friends you know
And everyone you meet.
Oh, ho, the mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me.
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Oh by golly
Have a holly jolly Christmas
This year.
For the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine
Of a friendly face
For the holidays, you can't beat
Home, sweet home.
I met a man who lives in Tennessee
And he was headin' for Pennsylvania
And some home made pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks a travelin' down
To Dixie's sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee
The traffic is terrific.
Oh, there's no place like home
For the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
If you want to be happy
In a million ways
For the holidays, you can't beat
Home, sweet home.
It's the same that appeared
And the wise men revered
When hope was born this night.
Out upon the snowy fields
There's a silent peace that heals
And it echoes the grace
Of our Savior's embrace
Because hope was born this night.
Glory to God in the highest
Peace on Earth
Goodwill toward men
Let all of the world
Sing the chorus of joy
Because hope was born this night.
I can hear the Christmas bells ringing
As softly a church choir sings
It's the song used to praise
The Ancient of Days
When hope was born this night.
There are angels in this place
And my heart resounded with the praise
Like a shepherd so scared
I'll rejoice and declare
That hope was born this night.
Glory to God in the highest
Peace on Earth
Goodwill toward men
Let all of the world
Sing the chorus of joy
Because hope was born this night.
Gloria
Gloria
Gloria
Gloria!
Glory to God in the highest
Peace on Earth
Goodwill toward men
Let all of the world
Sing the chorus of joy
Because hope was born this night.
I know that hope was born this night
Because Christ was born this night.
How brightly beams the morning star!
What sudden radiance from afar
Doth glad us with its shining
Thy word, Jesus, truly feeds us
Rightly leads us, life bestowing
Praise, O praise such love o'er flowing.
The ray of God that breaks our night
And fills the darkened souls with light
Who long for truth were pining
Thy word, Jesus, truly feeds us
Rightly leads us, life bestowing
Praise, O praise such love o'er flowing.
Everybody's shopping, got no time for stopping
It looks like Christmas is here.
So tell me, how do I wrap my heart up for Christmas?
I wanna give it to you;
Pretty bows and ribbons don't fit the gift I'm giving
Your loving arms will have to do.
At first, I thought of giving you a pretty diamond ring
Wore myself out shopping for a million other things;
Finally decided on something you can't buy
But how will I disguise it, so you will be surprised?
How do I wrap my heart up for Christmas?
I wanna give it to you;
Pretty bows and ribbons don't fit the gift I'm giving
Your loving arms will have to do.
A gift of love was given to the world so long ago
Laying in a manger, He was wrapped in swaddling clothes;
And every year we celebrate and thank the Lord above
And give to one another, our little gifts of love.
How do I wrap my heart up for Christmas?
I wanna give it to you;
Pretty bows and ribbons don't fit the gift I'm giving
Your loving arms will have to do.
Pretty bows and ribbons don't fit the gift I'm giving
Your loving arms will have to do.
How far is it to Bethlehem?
Not very far.
Shall we find the stable room
Lit by a star?
Can we see the little Child?
Is He within?
If we lift the wooden latch
May we go in?
May we stroke the creatures there
Ox, ass, or sheep?
May we peep like them and see
Jesus asleep?
If we touch His tiny hand
Will He awake?
Will He know we've come so far
Just for His sake?
Great kings have precious gifts
And we have naught
Little smiles and little tears
Are all we brought.
For all weary children
Mary must weep
Here, on His bed of straw
Sleep, children, sleep.
God in His mother's arms
Babes in the byre
Sleep, as they sleep who find
Their heart's desire.
'Twas in the moon of wintertime
When all the birds had fled
That mighty Gitchi Manitou
Sent angel choirs instead
Before their light the stars grew dim
And wondering hunters heard the hymn.
Jesus your King is born
Jesus is born
In excelsis gloria.
Within a lodge of broken bark
The tender babe was found
A ragged robe of rabbit skin
En-wrapped His beauty round
But as the hunter braves drew nigh
The angel song rang loud and high.
Jesus your King is born
Jesus is born
In excelsis gloria.
The earliest moon of wintertime
Is not so round and fair
As was the ring of glory
On the helpless Infant there
The chiefs from far before Him knelt
With gifts of fox and beaver pelt.
Jesus your King is born
Jesus is born
In excelsis gloria.
O children of the forest free
O seed of Manitou
The holy Child of earth and Heav'n
Is born today for you
Come kneel before the radiant Boy
Who brings you beauty, peace and joy.
Jesus your King is born
Jesus is born
In excelsis gloria.
I'm gonna pull, pull, pull, on his beard
Pull, pull to see if it's real.
I'm gonna tick, tick, tickle him on the tummy
Because he laughs so funny
He's so jolly and so fine
When he comes around on Christmas time.
I'm gonna lasso Santa Claus
And the reason is because
I know a boy and girl; he never goes see
He never brings 'em toys like he does to me.
I'm gonna pop, pop Santa Claus
With my water pistol gun, squirt, squirt
And then I'll take his bags of toys and run
And bring to all the kids who don't have none.
I'm gonna lasso Santa Claus
And I know just why because
I'm gonna pull, pull, pull, on his beard
Pull, pull, to see if it's real.
I'm gonna tick, tick, tickle him on the tummy
Because he laughs so funny
He's so jolly and so fine
When he comes around on Christmas time.
I'm gonna lasso Santa Claus
And the reason is because
I know a boy and girl; he never goes see
He never brings 'em toys like he does to me.
I'm gonna pop, pop Santa Claus
With my water pistol gun bang, bang
And then I'll take his bags of toys and run
And bring to all the kids who don't have none.
Merry Christmas!
I'm walking backwards for Christmas,
It's the only thing for me.
I've tried walking sideways,
And walking to the front,
But people just look at me,
And say, "It's a publicity stunt."
I'm walking backwards for Christmas,
To prove that, I love you.
An immigrant lad, loved an Irish colleen
From Dublin Galway Bay
He longed for her arms
But she spurned his charms
And sailed o'er the foam away.
She left the lad by himself, on his own
All alone, a-sorrowing
And sadly he dreamed
Or at least that's the way it seemed
Buddy, that an angel quieted him
An angel quieted the same.
I'm walking backwards for Christmas
Across the Irish Sea
I'm walking backwards for Christmas
It's the finest thing for me.
And so I've tried walking sideways
And walking to the front
But people just laughed, and said,
"It's a publicity stunt".
So I'm walking backwards for Christmas
To prove that I love you.
Long ago
There were shepherds in fields
Or at least this is how
The story goes
The story goes
Woman with Child
And an inn with no room
Born in a manger
For telling it too
This is how
The story goes
But it is more than a fable
And it is more than a fairytale
And more than my mind can conceive.
I believe
The wise men saw
The Baby Boy
The angels called
The Son of God
Heaven's Child
The great I am
Born to take away my sins
Through nailed pierced hands
Emmanuel has come
I believe.
Two thousand years
Still the story lives on
God's gift to us
Sent to earth
Wrapped in flesh
His only Son
His only Son
And the heartbeat of heaven
Confounded our wisdom
But it's still the simple truth
That sets me free.
I believe
The wise men saw
The Baby Boy
The angels called
The Son of God
Heaven's child
The great I am
Born to take away my sins
Through nailed pierced hands
Emmanuel has come
I believe.
Precious Child
How can it be
That God's great plan
For history
Would send You
To the lonely tree
That You would come
For one like me?
I believe
In a cross
I believe
He came for one
He came for all
Heaven's Child
Became a Man
Gave his life for me
In spite of all I am
I believe
I believe
Oh I believe
Christmas lives in me
I believe.
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the virgin birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winter's light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell
And that Christmas tree smell
And eyes full of tinsel and fire.
They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a silent night
And they told me a fairy story
'Till I believed in the Israelite
I believed in Father Christmas
I looked to the sky with excited eyes
'Till I woke with a yawn
In the first light of dawn
And I saw him through his disguise.
I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart
And let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah Noel
Be it heaven or hell
The Christmas we get, we deserve.
I believe there's always hope
When all seems lost,
And I believe in Santa Claus.
I believe in Santa Claus
I'll tell you why I do
'Cause I believe that dreams
And plans and wishes
Can come true
I believe in miracles
I believe in magic too
Oh, I believe in Santa Claus
And I believe in you.
I believe in family
In country and in smiles
I believe in turnin' negatives
To positives in life
I believe in lookin' farther up
The farther down we get
I believe when someone hurts us
We should forgive and forget.
And I believe in Santa Claus
I believe in Santa Claus
I believe love should prevail at any cost
And I believe in Santa Claus.
I believe in saying what you mean
And meaning what you say
I believe a better attitude
Can make a better way
And I believe in viewing life
As a journey that we're on
And lookin' at our troubles
As another stepping stone.
And I believe that everything in life
Is what it's meant to be
I believe there is a God somewhere
Although he's hard to see
I believe I am
So therefore, I should do all that I can
To be a better piece
In the puzzle of God's plan.
And I believe in Santa Claus
I believe in Santa Claus
I believe there's always hope
When all seems lost
And I believe in Santa Claus.
Let the little children sing it:
I believe in Santa Claus
I believe in Santa Claus
I believe in Santa Claus
I believe in Santa Claus.
Let the whole world sing it with us:
I believe in Santa Claus
I believe in Santa Claus
I believe in Santa Claus
I believe in Santa Claus.
Let the whole world sing it with us:
I believe in Santa Claus
I believe in Santa Claus
I believe in Santa Claus
I believe in Santa Claus.
And how I know I'll make it through
They look at me and frown
And like to drive me from this town
They don't want me around
'Cause I believe in you.
They show me to the door
They say "Don't come back no more"
'Cause I don't be like they'd like me to
And I, I walk out on my own
A thousand miles from home
But I don't feel alone
'Cause I believe in you.
I believe in you
Even through the tears and the laughter
I believe in you
Even though we be apart
I believe in you
Even on the morning after
Oh, when the dawn is nearing
Oh, when the night is disappearing
Oh, this feeling is still here in my heart.
Don't let me drift too far
Keep me where you are
Where I will always be renewed
And that which you've given me today
Is worth more than I could pay
And no matter what they say
I believe in you.
I believe in you
When winter turn to summer
I believe in you
When white turns to black
I believe in you
Even though I be outnumbered
Oh, though the earth may shake me
Oh, though my friends forsake me
Oh, even that couldn't make me go back.
Don't let me change my heart
Keep me set apart
From all the plans they do pursue
And I, I don't mind the pain
Don't mind the driving rain
I know I will sustain
'Cause I believe in you.
And the greatest gift
Is learning to forgive
We will have the best time
We ever knew
If you forgive me
And I forgive you.
I don't want to light a fire
Unless it will warm your heart
I'm playing no holiday songs
I need you to sing your part
And baby, if I could have just
One wish come true
I don't wanna spend
One more Christmas without you.
It's so hard to believe
We're staring at the end
When all we think about
Is starting up again
Starting up again
Whatever we lost
When we were apart
We'll find it all
Alone in the dark.
I don't want to light a fire
Unless it will warm your heart
I'm playing no holiday songs
I need you to sing your part
And baby if I could have just
One wish come true
I don't wanna spend
One more Christmas without you.
There's nothing more
That I want from you
Than to lie together
And stay here forever with you
There's no one I ever knew
That I wanted to spend Christmas with
More than you
More than you.
I don't want to light a fire
Unless it will warm your heart
I'm playing no holiday songs
I need you to sing your part
And baby if I could have
Just one wish come true
I don't wanna spend
One more Christmas without you.
I don't want to light a fire
Unless it will warm your heart
I'm playing no holiday songs
I need you to sing your part
And baby if I could have
Just one wish come true
I don't wanna spend
One more Christmas
I don't wanna spend
One more Christmas
I don't wanna spend
One more Christmas
Without you.
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of Peace on earth, good will to men.
I thought how, as the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of Peace on earth, good will to men.
Till ringing, singing on its way
The world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
And in despair, I bowed my head
"There is no peace on earth", I said,
"For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of Peace on earth, good will to men".
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With Peace on earth, good will to men".
And I wish you were closer to me
Every song they play this time of year
Every melody that I hear
Every minute I wish
I wish, you were near.
Something's missin'
Must be you
So I listen when the bells start ringin'
My heart start singin'.
I listen to the bells
And they make remember
When we were so in love
It was only last year
This time in December
I listen to the bells
And I reminisce
I hear those Christmas bells
But I never knew
That I could miss you like this.
Love the lights
And everything under the tree
Friends come around
They have a good time
But it's not a party for me
Call up Santa
Tell him that I've been blue
Tell him it's hard for me
It's been a blue holiday
Cause I'm missin' you.
I keep wishin'
Wondering if you'll think of me
So I listen when the bells start ringin'
My heart start singin'.
Something's missin'
Must be you
So I listen when the bells start ringin'
My heart start singin'.
I love You more
More than the sweetest song I sing
I love You more
More than the Christmas bells that ring
I love You more, my Lord.
More than a star filled summer's night
I love You more
More awe than viewing a wondrous sight
I love You more
More than the Christmas cards I write
I love You more, my Lord.
More than the days, more than the nights
More than seasons and reasons for every life
More is my love for Jesus Christ
And my God who made it all.
More than the autumn's falling leaves
I love You more
More than snowflakes dancing in the breeze
I love You more
Much more than Santa and Christmas trees
I love You more, my Lord.
More than the days, more than the nights
More than seasons and reasons for every life
More is my love for Jesus Christ
And my God who made it all.
More than the autumn's falling leaves
I love You more
More than snowflakes dancing in the breeze
I love You more
Much more than Santa and Christmas trees
I love You more, my Lord.
With every single breath of life You give me
I love You more
More than I love the first of spring
I love You more
More than the sweetest song I sing
I love You more
Lord, I love You more.
I found true love and it's here to stay
Chapel bells are gonna ring in May
I met an angel on Christmas day.
24th of December
It was a cold and snowy night
I can still remember
Gazing at the stars and the moonlight.
Fell asleep on the sofa bed
Dreams of Christmas in my head
I awoke to my surprise
There he was right before my eyes.
Listen up to what I gotta say
I found true love and it's here to stay
Chapel bells are gonna ring in May
I met an angel on Christmas day.
I was stuffing the stockings
And hanging tinsel on the tree
When I heard a knocking
I opened the door in time to see
Carolers and silver bells
I saw his face, that's when I fell
He was there bent on one knee
Santa sent him just for me.
Listen up to what I gotta say
I found true love and it's here to stay
Chapel bells are gonna ring in May
I met an angel on Christmas day.
Yeah, yeah.
I know this love will grow
When flowers bloom in early spring
I'll be his bride, I'll wear his ring.
If you're looking for a angel
Who is gonna make your every dream come true
Just write an letter saying, "Santa hey
I need an angel next Christmas day".
Yeah, ooh baby.
Listen up to what I gotta say
I found true love and it's here to stay
Chapel bells are gonna ring in May
I met an angel on Christmas day.
Listen up to what I gotta say
I found true love and it's here to stay
Chapel bells are gonna ring in May
Chapel bells are gonna ring in May
I met an angel on Christmas day.
Listen up to what I gotta say
True love and it's all day
I met an angel on Christmas day.
Hey hey hey yeah
On Christmas day
Ohohohohhooooo.
Oh baby!
Presents are wrapped
Under the tree
Is there one for me?
I only want you for Christmas, baby
I don't need nothing else
I only want you for Christmas, baby
Tie a ribbon 'round yourself
Oh, tie a ribbon 'round yourself.
I ain't gonna write no letter
Send to the north pole
Cause what I'm wanting this year
Saint Nick don't need to know.
I only want you for Christmas, baby
I don't need nothing else
I only want you for Christmas, baby
Tie a ribbon 'round yourself
Oh, tie a ribbon 'round yourself.
So put on your Christmas stockings
I'll find that mistletoe
Let's get into the the holiday spirits
And honey ho ho ho
Ho ho ho ho ho.
I only want you for Christmas, baby
I don't need nothing else
I only want you for Christmas, baby
Tie a ribbon 'round yourself
I only want you for Christmas, baby

Tie a ribbon 'round yourself
Oh, tie a ribbon 'round yourself.
Oh I had a bicycle
I had a train too.
I pray on Christmas
He'll show me what to do.
I pray on Christmas
He'll help me understand;
And I pray on Christmas
He'll take me by the hand.
I pray on Christmas
That the sick will soon be strong;

The Lord will hear my song.

And I pray, I really pray on Christmas
He'll get me through another day
He'll get me through another day...
New Year's is a lot of noise
And Arbor Day's a pest!
Halloween's a horror
But I guess I must confess
That I really don't hate Christmas!
You see, Flag Day is infernal
April Fool's is just a bore
Mardi Gras a waste
Unless you own a candy store
All these other holidays
I can admit that I abhor
But I really don't hate Christmas.
Now it isn't that I like it
At the most I feel ambivalence!
But should I really just destroy it?
I'll admit that I'm still on the fence
It makes me tense!
From the evil scientist community
I'm sure to get ejected
But for Christmas, I can seem to summon
Any true invective
Because what is there to hate?
I mean it's really so subjective!
No, I really don't hate Christmas.
I hate puppy dogs and kittens
I hate flowers in the spring
I even hate the sunshine
And the birdies when they sing
I can work up animosity for almost anything
Tell me, why I don't hate Christmas?
Though my childhood was atrocious
Christmas never was that bad, you see!
So, the best that I can muster
Is complete and total apathy
What's wrong with me?
How can I prove
That I am an evil villain worth his salt?
When with a holiday so jolly
I can't even find a fault?
If I didn't feel ambiguous
I'd launch a big assault!
But I really don't hate Christmas!
No, I really
No, I really don't hate Christmas!
I have an intense burning indifference!
Christmas toys all over the place
Little Johnny wears a funny smile on his face
Johnny has a secret and the secret he must share
He wants to tell somebody, so he tells his teddy bear:
"I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
She didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep
She thought that I was tucked up
In my bedroom, fast asleep."
"Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night."
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day in the morning.
And what was in those ships all three
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?
And what was in those ships all three
On Christmas Day in the morning?
The Virgin Mary and Christ were there
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
The Virgin Mary and Christ were there
On Christmas Day in the morning.
Pray, wither sailed those ships all three
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?
Pray, wither sailed those ships all three
On Christmas Day in the morning?
Oh, they sailed into Bethlehem
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
Oh, they sailed into Bethlehem
On Christmas Day in the morning.
And all the bells on earth shall ring
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
And all the bells on earth shall ring
On Christmas Day in the morning.
And all the Angels in Heaven shall sing
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
And all the Angels in Heaven shall sing
On Christmas Day in the morning.
And all the souls on earth shall sing
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
And all the souls on earth shall sing
On Christmas Day in the morning.
Then let us all rejoice again
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
Then let us all rejoice again
On Christmas Day in the morning.
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy.
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door
That's the easy thing to do.
I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there.
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too.
Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian
There's lots of room for him in our two car garage
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage.
I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there.
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too.
I'm dreaming tonight
Of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know
It's a long road back
I promise you.
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree.
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams.
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree.
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams.
Trim the tree and wrap the presents
Turn the Christmas music on
This Christmas I'll be home with bells on.
I've traveled around this country
Crossed the waters deep and wide
Made lots of friends and memories
Brought joy to other's lives
It's Christmas time again
Another year has come and gone
And I can't keep from wonderin'
How the old folks are at home.
I'll be home with bells on
I'll be home with bells on
Trim the tree and wrap the presents
Turn the Christmas music on
This Christmas I'll be home with bells on.
When the snow is on the meadow
And the sleigh bells jingle bright
And the kids are singing jingle bells
Around the Christmas lights
As daddy stokes the fire
And mama puts the turkey on
There ain't nothing going
To slow me down this Christmas
I'll be home.
I'll be home with bells on
I'll be home with bells on
Trim the tree and wrap the presents
Turn the Christmas music on
This Christmas I'll be home with bells on.
He's put a great big smile on somebody's face
If you jump into your bed
And you cover up your head
Don't you lock the doors
You know that sweet Santa Claus is on the way.
Well, I wish it could be Christmas everyday
When the kids start singing
And the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas everyday
Let the bells ring out for Christmas.
When we're skating in the park
If the storm cloud paints it dark
Then, your rosy cheeks are gonna light my merry way
Now the frosticles appear
And they've frozen up my beard
And so we'll lie by the fire
Til the sleet simply melts them all away.
Well, I wish it could be Christmas everyday
When the kids start singing
And the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas everyday
Let the bells ring out for Christmas.
When the snowman brings the snow
Well, he just might like to know
He's put a great big smile on somebody's face.
So, if Santa brings that sleigh
All along the Milky Way
I'll sign my name on the rooftop in the snow
Then he may decide to stay.
Well, I wish it could be Christmas everyday
When the kids start singing
And the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas everyday
Let the bells ring out for Christmas.
Okay you lot, take it.
Well, I wish it could be Christmas everyday
When the kids start singing
And the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas everyday
Let the bells ring out for Christmas.
Why don't you give your love, it's Christmas?
When the snowman brings the snow
When the snowman brings the snow
When the snowman brings the snow
When the snowman...
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus the Saviour did come for to die
For poor on'ry people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander out under the sky.
When Mary birthed Jesus 'twas in a cow's stall
With wise men and farmers and shepherds and all
But high from God's heaven, a star's light did fall
And the promise of ages it then did recall.
If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing
A star in the sky or a bird on the wing
Or all of God's Angels in heaven to sing
He surely could have it, 'cause he was the King.
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus the Saviour did come for to die
For poor on'ry people like you and like I
I wonder as I wander out under the sky.
Cause joy is something they don't bring me.
My girlfriend is by my side
From the roof are hanging sickles of ice
Their whiny voices get irritating
It's Christmas time again.
So I stand with a dead smile on my face
Wondering how much of my time they'll waste
Oh god, I hate these Satan's helpers.
And then I guess I must've snapped
Because I grabbed a baseball bat
And made them all run for shelter.
It's Christmas time again
It's time to be nice to the people you can't stand all year
I'm growing tired of all this Christmas cheer
You people scare me
Please stay away from my home
If you don't wanna get beat down
Just leave the presents and then leave me alone.
Well, I guess it's not cool to freak on Christmas Eve
Cause the cops came and arrested me
They had an unfair advantage.
And even though the jail didn't have a tree
Christmas came a night early
Cause a guy named Bubba unwrapped my package.
It's Christmas time again
It's time to be nice to the people you can't stand all year
I'm growing tired of all this Christmas cheer
You people scare me
Please stay away from my home
If you don't wanna get beat down
Just leave the presents and then leave me alone.
I won't be home
I won't be home for Christmas
I won't be home
I won't be home for Christmas.
I'll go in the red like a knucklehead
Cuz I'll squander all my pay.
Oh, I yust go nuts at Christmas
Shopping sure drives me berserk
On the day before, I rush in a store
Like a pure bewildered yerk.
I look at nightgowns for my wife
Those black ones trimmed in red
But I won't know her size and so
She'll get a carpet sweeper instead.
Oh I yust go nuts at Christmas
When each kid hangs up his sock
It's a time for kids to flip their lids
While their papa goes in hock.
On the night before Christmas
It's still in the house
My family is sleeping
So I'm quiet like a mouse.
I look at my watch and midnight is near
I think I'll sneak off for a cold glass of beer
Down at the corner the crowd is so merry
I end up by drinking about 12 Tom and Yerry.
I get to bed late and gee whiz how I'm sleeping
When on to my bed those darn kids they come leaping
They sit on my face and they yump on my belly
And I'm quivering all over like a bowl full of yelly.
They scream "Merry Christmas", and my poor wife and me
We stumble downstairs and she lights up the tree
My head is exploding, my mouth tastes like a pickle
I step on a skate and fall on a tricycle.
Yust before Christmas dinner I relax to a point
Then relatives start swarming all over the yoint
On Christmas I hug and I kiss my wife's mother
The rest of the year we don't speak to each other.
After dinner my Aunt and my wife's Uncle Louie
Get into an argument; they're both awful screwy
Then all my wife's family say Louie is right
And my goofy relations, they yoin in the fight.
Back in the corner the radio is playing
And over the racket, Gabriel Heater is saying
"Peace on earth everybody and good will toward men"
And yust at that moment someone slugs Uncle Ben.
They all run outside whooping so the neighbors will hear
Oh, I'm so glad Merry Christmas comes yust once a year.
Oh, I yust go nuts at Christmas
But I still have lots of fun
Yust the same as you, I enyoy it too.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
They ring out to tell the world
That this is the season of cheer.
I hear a choir
Singing sweetly somewhere
And a glow fills my heart
I'm in peace with the world
As the sound of their singing fills the air.
Oh, why can't every day be like Christmas?
Why can't that feeling go on endlessly?
For, if everyday could be just like Christmas
What a wonderful world this would be!
I hear a child
Telling Santa what to bring
And the smile upon his tiny face
Is worth more to me than anything.
Oh, why can't every day be like Christmas?
Why can't that feeling go on endlessly?
For, if everyday could be just like Christmas
What a wonderful world this would be!
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shiver when I see the fallin' snow.
If we make it through December
I got plans of bein' in a warmer town, come summer time
Maybe even California
If we make it through December, we'll be fine.
I got laid off down at the factory
And their timings not the greatest in the world
Heaven knows I been workin' hard
I wanted Christmas to be right for daddy's girl.
Now, I don't mean to hate December
It's meant to be the happy time of year
And why my little girl don't understand
Why daddy can't afford no Christmas here.
If we make it through December
Every things gonna be all right, I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shiver when I see the fallin' snow.
If we make it through December
I got plans of bein' in a warmer town, come summer time
Maybe even California
If we make it through December, we'll be fine.
In dulci jubilo
Let us our homage show
Our heart's joy reclineth
In praesepio
And like a bright star shineth
Matris in gremio
Alpha es et O!
O Jesu parvule,
My heart is sore for Thee
Hear me, I beseech Thee
O puer optime
My praying let it reach Thee!
O princeps gloriae
Trahe me post te.
O patris caritas!
O Nati lenitas!
Deeply were we stained
Per nostra crimina
But Thou for us hast gained
Coelorum gaudia
Qualis gloria!
Ubi sunt gaudia,
If that they be not there?
There are angels singing
Nova cantica;
And there the bells are ringing
In Regis curia
O that we were there!
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.
Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.
Enough for Him, Whom cherubim, worship night and day,
Breast full of milk, and a manger full of hay;
Enough for Him, Whom angels fall before,
The ox and ass and camel which adore.
Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
But His mother only, in her maiden bliss,
Worshiped the beloved with a kiss.
What can I give Him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part;
Yet what I can I give Him: give my heart.
For His bed a cattle stall
Oxen lowing, little knowing
Christ the Babe, is Lord of all.
Swift are winging angels singing
Noels ringing, tidings bringing:
Christ the Babe, is Lord of all.
Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping
Vigil till the morning new
Saw the glory, heard the story
Tidings of a Gospel true.
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow
Praises voicing, greet the morrow:
Christ the Babe was born for you.
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold
"Peace on the earth, goodwill to men
From heaven's all gracious King!"
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long
Beneath the angel-strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love-song that they bring
O hush the noise, ye men of strife
And hear the angels sing.
And yet, beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow
Take heart, for comfort, love, and hope
come swiftly on the wing
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing.
For lo, the days are hastening on
By prophets, bards foretold
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.
I watch the snowflakes
Falling from the sky
Then I get lost in memories
The time we tried to build a snowman
The time we tried to count the stars
Its crazy how we didn't know that
That we'd ever be apart.
I can hear the music playing
See the lights upon the tree
I can feel the joy in every soul
But for me its incomplete
And I try my best to play the part
But no matter what I do
No, it just don't feel like Christmas
Without you
You, you, you oooh.
Another tear, another regret
Boy, that your so far away
Can it be, that it was only last year
We shared that Christmas day?
Remember when we took the sleigh ride?
Remember singing by the fire?
There's too much thats in the daylight
I keep reliving you and I.
I can hear the music playing
See the lights upon the tree
I can feel the joy in every soul
But for me its incomplete
And I try my best to play the part
But no matter what I do
No, it just don't feel like Christmas
Without you
You, you, you oooh.
Time to try to build a snowman
The time we try to count the stars
Its crazy how we didn't know that
That we'd ever be apart!
I can hear the music playing
See the lights upon the tree
I can feel the joy in every soul
But for me its incomplete
And I try my best to play the part
But no matter what I do
It just don't feel like Christmas
No, it just don't feel like Christmas
Without you
You, you, you oooh.
The magic in the frosty air
That feeling everywhere.
It must have been the pretty lights
That glistened in the silent night
It may be just the stars so bright
That shined above you
Our first Christmas
More than we'd be dreaming of
Ah, Saint Nicholas had his fingers crossed
That we would fall in love!
It could have been the holiday,
The midnight ride upon sleigh
The countryside all dressed in white
The crazy snowball fight!
It could have been the steeple bell
That wrapped us up in its spell
It only took one kiss to know
It must have been the mistletoe!
Our first Christmas more than we'd be dreaming of
Ah, St. Nicholas must have know that kiss
Would lead to all of this!!
It must have been the mistletoe
The lazy fire, the falling snow
The magic in the frosty air
That made me love you!
On Christmas eve, our wish came true
That I would fall in love with you
It only took one kiss to know
It must have been the mistletoe!
It must have been the mistletoe!
It must have been the mistletoe!
Earth lay sleeping
Sleeping calm and still
Then in a cattle shed
In a manger bed
A boy was born
King of all the world.
Chorus:
And all the angels sang for Him
The bells of heaven rang for Him
For a boy was born
King of all the world.
And all the angels sang for Him
The bells of heaven rang for Him
For a boy was born
King of all the world.
Soon the shepherds came that way
Where the baby lay
And were kneeling
Kneeling by His side
And their hearts believed again
For the peace of men
For a boy was born
King of all the world.
Chorus:
And all the angels sang for Him
The bells of heaven rang for Him
For a boy was born
King of all the world.
And all the angels sang for Him
The bells of heaven rang for Him
For a boy was born
King of all the world.
And late one winter night
He knelt by her
As she gave birth
But it wasn't his child
It wasn't his child.
Yet still he took him as his own
And as he watched him grow
It brought him joy
But it wasn't his child
It wasn't his child.
But like a father
He was strong and kind
And I believe he did his best
It wasn't easy for him
But he did all could
His son was different
From the rest
It wasn't his child
It wasn't his child.
And when the boy
Became a man
He took his father's hand
And soon the world
Would all know why
It wasn't his child
It wasn't his child.
But like his father
He was strong and kind
And I believe he did his best
It wasn't easy for him
But he did all could
He grew up
With his hands in wood
And he died
With his hands in wood
He was God's child
He was God's child.
He was her man
She was his wife
And late one night
He knelt by her
As she gave birth
But it wasn't his child
It was God's child.
Ev'rywhere you go
Take a look in the five-and-ten
Glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in ev'ry store
But the prettiest sight to see
Is the holly that will be
On your own front door.
A pair of hop-along boots
And a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that will talk
And will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait
For school to start again.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel
One in the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring
Is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart.
Please make my wish come true
Why can't we join hands around one tree?
Let live and let it be
Make Christmas last forever.
When Santa's flying in his magic sleigh
Goes all around the world in just a day
From the North Pole to the Southern tip
He makes his trip with gifts to give away
Hear him say:
"It's Christmas, all over the world tonight
It's Christmas, all over the world."
All my life, I learned if I was good
And did everything I should
My dreams would all come true
I can see a special time
When we join hands around one tree
And Christmas lasts forever.
When Santa's flying in his magic sleigh
Goes all around the world in just a day
From the North Pole to the Southern tip
He makes his trip with gifts to give away
Hear him say:
"It's Christmas, all over the world tonight
It's Christmas, all over the world."
And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer"
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
It's the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay, happy meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap-happiest season of all.
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago.
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Holy wisdom, love most bright
Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring
Soar to uncreated light.
Word of God, our flesh that fashioned
With the fire of life impassioned
Striving still to truth unknown
Soaring, dying round Thy throne.
Through the way where hope is guiding
Hark, what peaceful music rings
Where the flock, in Thee confiding
Drink of joy from deathless springs.
Their's is beauty's fairest pleasure
Their's is wisdom's holiest treasure.
Thou dost ever lead Thine own
In the love of joys unknown.
German: Jesus Bleibet Meine Freude
Jesus bleibet meine Freude
Meines Herzens Trost und Saft
Jesus wehret allem Leide
Er ist meines Lebens Kraft
Meiner Augen Lust und Sonne
Meiner Seele Schatz und Wonne
Darum lass' ich Jesum nicht
Aus dem Herzen und Gesicht.
Wohl mir, dass ich Jesum habe
O wie feste halt' ich ihn
Dass er mir mein Herze labe
Wenn ich krank und traurig bin
Jesum hab' ich, der mich liebet
Und sich mir zu eigen giebet
Ach drum lass' ich Jesum nicht
Wenn mir gleich mein Herze bricht.

Laden with fruit and always green
The trees of nature fruitless be
Compared with Christ the apple tree.
His beauty doth all things excel
By faith I know, but ne'er can tell
The glory which I now can see
In Jesus Christ the apple tree.
For happiness I long have sought
And pleasure dearly I have bought
I missed of all; but now I see
'Tis found in Christ the apple tree.
I'm weary with my former toil
Here I will sit and rest awhile
Under the shadow I will be
Of Jesus Christ the apple tree.
This fruit doth make my soul to thrive
It keeps my dying faith alive
Which makes my soul in haste to be
With Jesus Christ the apple tree.

On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy
With the baby in the backseat
Fifty miles to go
And she was running low
On faith and gasoline.
It'd been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind
And she didn't pay attention
She was going way too fast
Before she knew it
She was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was so scared
She threw her hands up in the air.
Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel.
It was still getting colder
When she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat
Sleeping like a rock
And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said, I'm sorry for the way
I've been living my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight:
Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on".
Ooh, Jesus take the wheel
Ooh, I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel
Ooh, take it, take it from me
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh.
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air.
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell rock.
On a one-horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifted bank
And we, we got upset.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way!
What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
A day or two ago
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed as there
I sprawling lay
But quickly drove away.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way!
What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Now the ground is white
Go it while you're young
Take the girls tonight
And sing this sleighing song
Just get a bob-tailed bay
Two-forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! you'll take the lead.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way!
What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
I have a nasty plan
For Christmas in Iraq.
I got through checkpoint A
But not through checkpoint B
That's when I got shot in the ass
By the US Military.
Oh, jingle bombs, jingle bombs
Mine blew up you see
Where are all the virgins
That Bin Laden promised me?
Oh, jingle bombs, jingle bombs
U.S. soldiers shot me dead
The only thing that I have left
Is this towel up on my head.
I used to be a man
But every time I cough
Thanks to Uncle Sam
My nuts keep falling off.
My bombing days are done
I need to find some work
Perhaps it would be much safer
As a convenience store night clerk.
Oh, jingle bombs, jingle bombs
I think I got screwed
Don't laugh at me because I'm dead
Or I kill you!
Lean your ear this way!
Don't you tell a single soul
What I'm going to say
Christmas Eve is coming soon
Now, you dear old man
Whisper what you'll bring to me
Tell me if you can.
When the clock is striking twelve
When I'm fast asleep
Down the chimney broad and black
With your pack you'll creep
All the stockings you will find
Hanging in a row
Mine will be the shortest one
You'll be sure to know.
Johnny wants a pair of skates
Susy wants a dolly
Nellie wants a story book
She thinks dolls are folly
As for me, my little brain
Isn't very bright
Choose for me, old Santa Claus
What you think is right.
Help me cradle the child divine
God reward thee and all that's thine
In paradise."
So prays the mother Mary.
He came among us at Christmastide
At Christmastide, in Bethlehem
Men shall bring Him from far and wide
Love's diadem: Jesus, Jesus
Lo, He comes, and loves, and saves, and frees us!
"Gladly, dear one, lady mine
Help I cradle this child of thine
God's own light on us both shall shine
In paradise."
As prays the mother Mary.
He came among us at Christmastide
At Christmastide, in Bethlehem
Men shall bring Him from far and wide
Love's diadem: Jesus, Jesus
Lo, He comes, and loves, and saves, and frees us!
Peace to all that have goodwill!
God, who heaven and earth doth fill
Comes to turn us away from ill
And lies so still
Within the crib of Mary.
He came among us at Christmastide
At Christmastide, in Bethlehem
Men shall bring Him from far and wide
Love's diadem: Jesus, Jesus
Lo, He comes, and loves, and saves, and frees us!
All shall come and bow the knee
Wise and happy their souls shall be
Loving such a divinity
As all may see
In Jesus, Son of Mary.
He came among us at Christmastide
At Christmastide, in Bethlehem
Men shall bring Him from far and wide
Love's diadem: Jesus, Jesus
Lo, He comes, and loves, and saves, and frees us!
Now is born Emmanuel
Prophesied once by Ezekiel
Promised Mary by Gabriel
Ah, who can tell
Thy praises, Son of Mary.
He came among us at Christmastide
At Christmastide, in Bethlehem
Men shall bring Him from far and wide
Love's diadem: Jesus, Jesus
Lo, He comes, and loves, and saves, and frees us!
Thou my lazy heart hast stirred
Thou, the Father's eternal Word
Greater than aught that ear has heard
Thou tiny bird of love
Thou Son of Mary.
He came among us at Christmastide
At Christmastide, in Bethlehem
Men shall bring Him from far and wide
Love's diadem: Jesus, Jesus
Lo, He comes, and loves, and saves, and frees us!
Sweet and lovely little one
Thou princely, beautiful, God's own Son
Without thee all of us were undone
Our love is won
By thing, O Son of Mary.
He came among us at Christmastide
At Christmastide, in Bethlehem
Men shall bring Him from far and wide
Love's diadem: Jesus, Jesus
Lo, He comes, and loves, and saves, and frees us!
Little man, and God indeed
Little and poor, thou art all we need
We will follow where thou dost lead
And we will heed
Our brother, born of Mary.
He came among us at Christmastide
At Christmastide, in Bethlehem
Men shall bring Him from far and wide
Love's diadem: Jesus, Jesus
Lo, He comes, and loves, and saves, and frees us!

Chorus
You have a long road before You
Rest Your little head.
Can You feel the weight of Your glory?
Do You understand the price?
Does the Father guard Your heart for now
So You can sleep tonight?
Go to sleep, my Son
Go and chase Your dreams
This world can wait for one more moment
Go and sleep in peace.
I believe the glory of Heaven
Is lying in my arms tonight
Lord, I ask that He for just this moment
Simply be my child.
Go to sleep my Son
Baby, close Your eyes
Soon enough You'll save the day
But for now, dear Child of mine
Oh my Jesus, Sleep tight.
The Son of God, the angel said
How could it be?
Lord, I know He's not my own
Not of my flesh, not of my bone
Still Father, let this Baby be
The son of my love.
Father, show me where I fit into this plan of Yours
How can a man be father to the Son of God?
Lord, for all my life I've been a simple carpenter
How can I raise a King?
How can I raise a King?
He looks so small
His face and hands so fair
And when He cries, the sun just seems to disappear
But when He laughs, it shines again
How could it be?
Father, show me where I fit into this plan of Yours
How can a man be father to the Son of God?
Lord, for all my life I've been a simple carpenter
How can I raise a King?
How can I raise a King?
How could it be this baby in my arms
Sleeping now, so peacefully
The Son of God, the angel said
How could it be?
How could it be?
The angels
Begin their flight;
Dark skies
With miles to go
No footsteps
To be lost in snow.
They fly to you
Oh, newborn King
They fly to you
Oh, angels sing.
One is sorrow
One is peace
One will come
To give you sleep
One is comfort
One is grief
One will take
The tears you weep.
New star
In a midnight sky
In heaven
All the angels fly
Soft wings so true
And all things
They will give to you.
Somewhere
In a winter night
The angels
Begin their flight.
Tonight
All sing
Oh, angels
A newborn King
Tonight
All sing
Oh, angels
A newborn King.
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.
Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.
No more let sins and sorrows grow
Nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found
Far as the curse is found
Far as, far as the curse is found.
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders, of His love.
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee,
Opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
Drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!
All Thy works with joy surround Thee,
Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
Center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Singing bird and flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in Thee.
Thou art giving and forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blessed,
Wellspring of the joy of living,
Ocean depth of happy rest!
Thou our Father, Christ our Brother,
All who live in love are Thine;
Teach us how to love each other,
Lift us to the joy divine.
Mortals, join the happy chorus,
Which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o'er us,
Brother love binds man to man.
Ever singing, march we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife,
Joyful music leads us sun ward
In the triumph song of life.
And you said it was like Christmas
But you were wrong
It wasn't like Christmas at all.
By the time we got to Oslo
Snow was gone
And we got lost
The beds were small
But we felt so young
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas.
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas
It was just like Christmas.
Now your asking me
What I'd like from Santa
For Christmas this year?
There's a lot of things, girl
You could buy for me
But they wouldn't mean as much
As you standing by that tree.
Just put a ribbon in your hair, darlin'
You'll be the best gift anywhere
Christmas mornin'
There's no worldly treasure
I'd like any better
Than you standin' there
Just put a ribbon in your hair.
Colored boxes filled with fancy presents
They were mighty pretty sights
It's true
But all those pretty things
They just can't compare
To the beauty in you
Girl, on Christmas day
The greatest gift I know
Will be having you to hold
Underneath the mistletoe.
Just put a ribbon in your hair, darlin'
You'll be the best gift anywhere
Christmas mornin'
There's no worldly treasure
I'd like any better
Than you standin' there
Just put a ribbon in your hair
Just put a ribbon in your hair.
Ooohhh baby!
Kiss me at midnight.
Kiss me at midnight
(5)
hey yeah...
(4)
oh...
(3, 2, 1!)
Kiss me at midnight
Dance until the morning light
Party into the New Year
All of my friends are here
And when the timing's right
Kiss me at midnight.
Kiss!
I've been waiting for the special night
To be with you
The colors of Christmas are still shining bright
And I know what we're gonna do
Anticipating, music is playing
The magic is in the air
All through the season
You've been the reason
I have so much love to share.
Kiss me at midnight
Dance until the morning light
Party into the New Year
All of my friends are here
And when the timing's right
Kiss me at midnight.
Kiss
Kiss me at midnight
Kiss.
We've been making promises in the dark
Our resolutions
As a brand new year is about to start
And we're together
Celebrating, no more waiting
Our time has arrived.
The beat in my heart
As the countdown starts
Just look into my eyes.
Kiss me at midnight
Dance until the morning light
Party into the New Year
All of my friends are here
And when the timing's right
Kiss me at midnight.
Baby, it's New Year's Eve
Time we can believe
In making wishes
Dreams come true
Just for me and you!
Kiss me at midnight
Dance until the morning light
Party into the New Year
All of my friends are here
And when the timing's right
Kiss me at midnight.
Kiss me at midnight
Dance until the morning light
Party into the New Year
All of my friends are here
And when the timing's right
Kiss me at midnight.
Kiss me at midnight
Dance until the morning light...
You will hear my sleigh bells ring
I am old Kris Kringle
I'm the King of jingling.
Jingle, jingle reindeer
Through the frosty air they'll go
They are not just plain deer
They're the fastest deer I know.
(Ho! Ho!)
You must believe that on Christmas Eve
I won't pass you by
I'll dash away in my magic sleigh
Flying through the sky.
Jingle, jingle, jingle
You will hear my sleigh bells ring
I am old Kris Kringle
I'm the King of jingling.
(Ho! Ho!)
Jingle, jingle, jingle
You will hear his sleigh bells ring
Jolly old Kris Kringle

Flying through the sky.
Jingle, jingle, jingle
You will hear his sleigh bells ring
Jolly old Kris Kringle

(Ho! Ho!)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special.
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
(Gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
(Special)
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me.
(Happy Christmas!)
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I Love You"
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again.
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
(Gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears

This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
(Special)
(Ooooh oooh baby)
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover, with a fire in his heart
A man undercover, but you tore me apart
(Oooh oooh)
Now I've found a real love
You'll never fool me again.
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
(Gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
(Gave you my heart)
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Next year
I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special
Special, someone, someone.
But I'll tell you a Christmas tale
That never has been told;
Well, you may think you've heard it all
But you ain't heard yet
About that crazy Christmas
That the North pole can't forget.
Rudolph was under the weather
He had to call in sick
So he got on the horn to his cousin Leroy
Who lived out in the sticks;
He said, "Santa's really counting on me
And I hate to pass the buck."
Leroy said "Hey I'm on my way,"
And he jumped in his pick-up truck.
When Leroy got to the North Pole
All the reindeer snickered and laughed
They'd never seen a deer in overalls
And a John Deere Tractor hat;
But Santa stepped in and said:
"Just calm down
'Cause we've all got a job to do
"And like it or not, Leroy's in charge
And he's gonna be leading you."
And it was Leroy, the red neck reindeer
Hooked to the front of the sleigh
Delivering toys to all the good ole boys
And girls along the way
He's just a down home party animal
Two-stepping across the sky
He mixed jingle bells with a rebel yell
And made history that night.
Before that night was over
Leroy had changed their tune
He had them scootin' a hoof
On every single roof
By the light of a neon moon;
Santa wrapped his bag with a Dixie flag
He was having the time of his life
And you can hear him call
"Merry Christmas y'all
And to all of y'all, a good night."
And it was Leroy, the red neck reindeer
Hooked to the front of the sleigh
Delivering toys to all the good ole boys
And girls along the way
He's just a down home party animal
Two-stepping across the sky
He mixed jingle bells with a rebel yell
And made history that night.
He mixed jingle bells with a rebel yell
And made history that night.
Christmas everywhere
Feel the love of the season wherever you are
On the small country roads lined with green mistletoe
Big city streets where a thousand lights glow.
Let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let every heart sing, let every bell ring
The story of hope and joy and peace
And let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let anger and fear and hate disappear
Let there be love that lasts through the year
And let it be Christmas
Christmas everywhere.
Let it be Christmas everywhere
With the gold and the silver, the green and the red
Christmas everywhere
In the smiles of all children asleep in their beds
In the eyes of young babies their first fallen snow
Elderly memories that never grow old.
Let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let every heart sing, let every bell ring
The story of hope and joy and peace
And let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let anger and fear and hate disappear
Let there be love that lasts through the year
And let it be Christmas
Christmas everywhere.
Let it be Christmas everywhere
In the songs that we sing and the gifts that we bring
Christmas everywhere
In what this day means and what we believe
From the sandy white beaches where blue water rolls
Snow covered mountains and valleys below.
Let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let every heart sing, let every bell ring
The story of hope and joy and peace
And let it be Christmas everywhere
Let heavenly music fill the air
Let anger and fear and hate disappear
Let there be love that lasts through the year
And let it be Christmas
Christmas everywhere
Christmas everywhere
Christmas everywhere.
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
When we finally say good night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home, I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
And let it begin with me
Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be
With God as our Father
Brothers all are we
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now
With every step I take
Let this be my solemn vow
To take each moment
And live each moment in peace
Eternally
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me!
Little altar boy, for I have gone astray
What must I do to be holy like you?
Little altar boy ,oh, let me hear you pray.
Little altar boy, I wonder could you ask our Lord
Ask him, altar boy, to take my sins away
What must I do to be holy like you?
Little altar boy, please, let me hear you pray.
Lift up your voice and say a prayer above
Help me rejoice and fill that prayer with love
Now I know my life has been all wrong
Lift up your voice and help a sinner be strong.
Little altar boy, I wonder could you pray for me?
Could you tell our Lord, I'm gonna change my way today?
What must I do to be holy like you?
Little altar boy, oh, let me hear you pray
Little altar boy please let me hear you pray.
And wonder if you
Are watching snowflakes too;
I take a walk downtown
To where you used to meet me
There's joy everywhere
But all that waiting there is:
Just a little Christmas tree
Lookin' sorta sad and lonely
Just like me
No one seems to care
They just went away
And left it standing there
All alone on Christmas eve.
I hear the Christmas bells
(Bum Bum Bum)
The happy people singing
The songs of good cheer
That only brings me tears
I sadly close my eyes
And say a little prayer
You'll be waiting there for me
I look but all I see is:
Just a little Christmas tree
Lookin' sorta sad and lonely
Just like me
No one seems to care
They just went away
And left it standing there
All alone on Christmas eve.
This is the season of love
(This is the season of love)
But I'm as sad as I can be
(Sad as can be)
Why did you have to leave me?
(Why did you leave me?)
(Why did you leave me?)
Just a little Christmas tree
Lookin' sorta sad and lonely
Just like me
No one seems to care
They just went away
And left it standing there
All alone on Christmas eve.
On the dusty road
Got to keep on plodding onwards
With your precious load.
Been a long time, little donkey
Through the winter's night
Don't give up now, little donkey
Bethlehem's in sight.
Chorus
Ring out those bells tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Follow that star tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem.
Little donkey, little donkey
Had a heavy day
Little donkey
Carry Mary safely on her way.
Little donkey, little donkey
On the dusty road
There are wise men waiting for a
Sign to bring them here.
Do not falter, little donkey
There's a star ahead
It will guide you, little donkey
To a cattle shed.
Chorus
Ring out those bells tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Follow that star tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem.

We will lend a coat of fur
We will rock you, rock you, rock you
We will rock you, rock you, rock you
See the fur to keep you warm
Snugly round your tiny form.
Mary's little baby, sleep, sweetly sleep
Sleep in comfort, slumber deep
We will rock you, rock you, rock you
We will rock you, rock you, rock you
We will serve you all we can
Darling, darling little man.
I heard a sheep bell softly calling them
Along the little road to Bethlehem.
Beside an open door as I drew nigh
I heard sweet Mary sing a lullaby
She sang about the lambs at close of day
And rocked her tiny King among the hay.
Across the air the silver sheep bells rang
"The lambs are coming home" sweet Mary sang
"Your star of gold, your star of gold is shining in the sky
So sleep, my little King, go lullaby".
As I walked down the road at set of sun
The lambs were coming homeward one by one
I heard a sheep bell softly calling them
Along the little road to Bethlehem.
Christmas comes this time each year.
Well, way up North where the air gets cold
There's a tale about Christmas that you've all been told;
And a real famous cat all dressed up in red
And he spends the whole year workin' out on his sled.
It's the little Saint Nick
Little Saint Nick
It's the little Saint Nick
Little Saint Nick.
Just a little bobsled, we call it ol' Saint Nick
But she'll walk a toboggan with a four speed stick
She's candy apple red with a ski for a wheel
And when Santa hits the gas, man, just watch her peel.
It's the little Saint Nick
Little Saint Nick
It's the little Saint Nick
Little Saint Nick.
Run, run reindeer
Run run reindeer
Run run reindeer
Run run reindeer
We don't miss no one.
He's hauling through the snow at a frightenin' speed
With a half a dozen deer with Rudy to lead,
He's gotta wear his goggles 'cause the snow really flies
And he's cruisin' every pad with a little surprise.
It's the little Saint Nick
Little Saint Nick
It's the little Saint Nick
Little Saint Nick.
Merry Christmas, Santa
Christmas comes this time each year.
Merry Christmas, Santa
Christmas comes this time each year.
Once for favored sinners slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending,
Swell the triumph of His train:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
God appears on earth to reign.
Every eye shall now behold Him
Robed in dreadful majesty;
Those who set at naught and sold Him,
Pierced and nailed Him to the tree,
Deeply wailing, deeply wailing, deeply wailing,
Shall the true Messiah see.
Every island, sea, and mountain,
Heaven and earth, shall flee away;
All who hate Him must, confounded,
Hear the trump proclaim the day:
Come to judgment! Come to judgment! Come to judgment!
Come to judgment! Come away!
Now redemption, long expected,
See in solemn pomp appear;
All His saints, by man rejected,
Now shall meet Him in the air:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
See the day of God appear!
Answer Thine own bride and Spirit,
Hasten, Lord, the general doom!
The new Heaven and earth to inherit,
Take Thy pining exiles home:
All creation, all creation, all creation,
Travails! groans! and bids Thee come!
The dear tokens of His passion
Still His dazzling body bears;
Cause of endless exultation
To His ransomed worshipers;
With what rapture, with what rapture, with what rapture
Gaze we on those glorious scars!
Yea, Amen! let all adore Thee,
High on Thine eternal throne;
Savior, take the power and glory,
Claim the kingdom for Thine own;
O come quickly! O come quickly! O come quickly!
Everlasting God, come down!
From tender stem hath sprung
Of Jesse's lineage coming
As men of old have sung
It came, a floweret bright
Amid the cold of winter
When half spent was the night.
Isaiah 'twas foretold it
The Rose I have in mind
With Mary we behold it
The virgin mother kind
To show God's love aright
She bore to us a Savior
When half spent was the night.
O Flower, whose fragrance tender
With sweetness fills the air
Dispel with glorious splendor
The darkness everywhere
True man, yet very God
From sin and death now save us
And share our every load.
German: Es ist ein Ros entsprungen
Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen
Aus einer Wurzel zart
Wie uns die Alten sungen
Aus Jesse kam die Art
Und hat ein Blümlein bracht
Mitten im kalten Winter
Wohl zu der halben Nacht.
Das Röslein das ich meine
Davon Jesaias sagt
Maria ist's, die Reine
Die uns das Blümlein bracht
Aus Gottes ewigem Rat
Hat sie ein Kindlein g'boren
Bleibend ein reine Magd.
That's where I'll be
Since you left me.
My tears would melt the snow
What can I do
Without you
I've got no place, no place to go.
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold
Without you to hold
This Christmas.
Each time I remember
The day you went away
And how I would listen
To things you have to say
I just break down
As I look around
And the only things I see
Are emptiness and loneliness
And an unlit Christmas tree.
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold
Without you to hold
This Christmas.
You remember last year?
When you and I were together
We never thought there'd be an end.
And I remember looking at you then
And I remember thinking
That Christmas must have been made for us
Cause darlin'
This is the time that you really need love
When it means so very very much.
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It'll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It'll be cold, so cold
Without you to hold
This Christmas.
Merry Christmas darlin'
Wherever you are.
Love all lovely, love divine;
Love was born at Christmas
Star and angels gave the sign.
Worship we the Godhead
Love incarnate, love divine;
Worship we our Jesus
But wherewith for sacred sign?
Love shall be our token
Love shall be yours and love be mine
Love to God and to all men
Love for plea and gift and sign.
It's the happiest time of the year
Filled with laughter and good cheer
As you watch the snow, sweet love
You'll hear me say:
"You've got my heart on Christmas
Inside my soul your love remains
Love's in our hearts
On Christmas day".
The days and weeks and months go by so slowly
We are both wishing them to fly
As the night begins to fall
Twilight crowns the bedroom cheer
Such a rush of joy
Your love, it comforts me
And I do believe:
Love's in our hearts on Christmas
Though far apart
As one we pray
Love's in our hearts
On Christmas day.
Snowflakes melt in your eye and turns to tears
But your cheek, it stays dry
With your warm smile so near
I have no fear
We're gonna make it.
Love's in our hearts on Christmas
Though far apart
As one we pray
Loves in our hearts
On Christmas day.
While men seek fame and great renown
In lowliness our King comes down.
Jesus, Jesus, precious one
How we thank You that You've come
Jesus, Jesus, precious one
A manger throne for God's own son.
You left the sound of angels' praise
To come for men with unkind ways
And by this Baby's helplessness
The power of nations is laid to rest.
Jesus, Jesus, precious one
How we thank You that You've come
Jesus, Jesus, precious one
A manger throne for God's own son.
What kind of King would come so small
From glory to a humble stall?
That dirty manger is my heart too
I'll make it a royal throne for You.
Jesus, Jesus, precious one
How we thank You that You've come
Jesus, Jesus, precious one
A manger throne for God's own son.
Jesus, Jesus, precious one
Precious Jesus
How we thank You that You've come
Jesus, Jesus, precious one
A manger throne
My heart is a throne
My heart is a throne for God's own son.
Three great kings I met at early morn
Were on their way to meet the newly born
With gifts of gold brought from far away
And valiant warriors to guard the royal treasure
With gifts of gold brought from far away
Their shields all shining in their bright array.
Ce matin, j'ai rencontre le train
De trois grands rois qui allaient en voyage
Ce matin, j'ai rencontre le train
De trois grands rois dessus le grand chemin
Tout charges d'or les suivaient d'abord
De grands guerriers et les gardes du tresor
Tout charges d'or les suivaient d'abord
De grands guerriers avec leurs boucliers.
For Thy mercy and Thy grace
Constant through another year
Hear our song of thankfulness
Father and Redeemer hear
Dark the future; let Thy light
Guide us, bright and morning star
Fierce our foes and hard the fight
Arm us Savior for the war.
In our weakness and distress
Rock of strength be Thou our stay
In the pathless wilderness
Be our true and living way
Keep us faithful; keep us pure
Keep us evermore Thine own
Help, O help us to endure
Fit us for the promised crown.
That your baby boy will one day walk on water?

This child that you've delivered
Will soon deliver you?

The praises of the Lamb?

So the Holy Bible say
Mary's Boy Child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day.
Hark, now hear the angels sing
"New King's born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day."
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They saw a bright new shining star
And heard a choir from heaven sing
The music came from afar.
Hark, now hear the angels sing
"New King's born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day."
Oh, a moment still worth was a glow
All the bells rang out
There were tears of joy and laughter
People shouted, "Let everyone know
There is hope for all to find peace".
Now Joseph and his wife Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night
They found no place to bear her Child
Not a single room was in sight.
By and by they found a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary's little Boy Child was born.
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day.
Oh, a moment still worth was a glow
All the bells rang out
There were tears of joy and laughter
People shouted "let everyone know
There is hope for all to find peace".
Oh my Lord.
Masters in this hall
Hear ye news today
Brought from over seas
And ever you I pray.
Chorus:
Sing we now noel
Sing we noel clear!
Holpen all the folk on earth
Born the Son of God so dear!
Then to Bethl'em town
Went we two by two
In a sorry place
We heard the oxen low.
Chorus:
Sing we now noel
Sing we noel clear!
Holpen all the folk on earth
Born the Son of God so dear!
Ox and ass Him know
Kneeling on their knee
Wonderous joy had
This little babe to see.
Chorus:
Sing we now noel
Sing we noel clear!
Holpen all the folk on earth
Born the Son of God so dear!
This is Christ, the Lord
Masters be ye glad!
Christmas is come in
And no folk shall be sad!
Chorus:
Sing we now noel
Sing we noel clear!
Holpen all the folk on earth
Born the Son of God so dear!
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day
That's the island greeting that we send to you

To say "Merry Christmas to you."

And kiss my lips anymore
She's gonna leave me
And she don't believe me
That I'll be true now.
Well, maybe she don't love me
Is not thinkin' of me
But why'd she do it this time o' year?
She knows that I'll miss her
And I'll wanna kiss her
If just for Christmas.
Merry Christmas, baby
Merry Christmas, baby
Merry Christmas, baby.
Tell me, what should I do?
To really convince you
That I'm not the guy anymore?
Take back my ring now
I'll do anything now
But please forgive me.
I've made my mistake but
I'm willing to wake up
And never mess around anymore
Oh, why did we break up?
There's still time to make up
If just for Christmas.
Merry Christmas, baby
Merry Christmas, baby
Merry Christmas, baby.
I've made my mistake but
I'm willing to wake up
And never mess around anymore
Oh, why did we break up?
There's still time to make up
If just for Christmas.
Merry Christmas, baby
Merry Christmas, baby
Merry Christmas, baby.
The Christmas rush is through
But I still have one more wish to make
A special one for you.
Merry Christmas, darling
We're apart, that's true
But I can dream and in my dreams
I'm Christmasing with you.
Holidays are joyful
There's always something new
But every day's a holiday
When I'm near to you.
The lights on my tree
I wish you could see
I wish it every day.
The logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say:
That I wish you a merry Christmas
Happy New Year too
I've just one wish
On this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you.
Logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say.
That I wish you Merry Christmas
Happy New Year, too
I've just one wish
On this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you
I wish I were with you.
It's the season of love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone.
Time for parties and celebration
People dancing, all night long
Time for presents and exchanging kisses
Time for singing Christmas songs.
We're gonna have a party tonight
I'm gonna find that girl
Underneath the mistletoe
We'll kiss by candlelight.
Room is swaying, records playing
All the old songs, we love to hear
All I wish that everyday was Christmas
What a nice way to spend the year.
We're gonna have a party tonight
I'm gonna find that girl
Underneath the mistletoe
We'll kiss by candlelight.
Snow is falling all around me
Children playing, having fun
It's the season of love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone
Merry Christmas, everyone
Merry Christmas everyone.
Snow is falling all around me
Children playing, having fun
It's the season of love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone.
Snow is falling all around me
Children playing, having fun
It's the season of love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone.
Snow is falling all around me
Children playing, having fun
It's the season of love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone.
Snow is falling all around me
Children playing, having fun
It's the season of love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone
Merry Christmas everyone
Oooh Merry Christmas everyone!
And I addressed it to the man who vowed to love you
And on the little card I wrote these words inside:
Merry Christmas to me
Just one gift beneath my tree
For the fool who let you leave
Merry Christmas to me.
Then I sat down in my chair and thought about you
About the many reasons why you're gone
And I opened up the present that I gave to me
And realized how much it hurts to be alone.
Merry Christmas to me
Just one gift beneath my tree
For the fool who let you leave
Merry Christmas to me.
I am the fool who let you leave
Merry Christmas to me.
Remembering Christmas the way it had been
So many seasons ago.
When children would reach for their stockings
And open the presents they found
The lights on the tree would shine bright in their eyes
Reflecting the love all around.
This year there's no one to open the gifts
No reason for trimming the tree
And just as a tear made its way to the floor
She heard voices outside start to sing.
Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here
Merry Christmas if even just one
May the joy of the season surround you
Merry Christmas with love.
Carolers sang as she opened the door
Faces of friends in the crowd
And all of the shadows of lonely reminders
Driven away by the sound.
Now the heart that for years had been silent
Was suddenly filled with a song
As she clung to their hands like a child in the night
She found her self singing along:
Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here
Merry Christmas if even just one
May the joy of the season surround you
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here
Merry Christmas if even just one
May the joy of the season surround you
Merry Christmas with love.
Merry Christmas with love.
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer?
Does he turn up on his sleigh
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?
Chorus:
So here it is, Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun.
Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you got room to spare inside?
Does your granny always tell you, that the old songs are the best?
Then she's up and rock 'n' rollin' with the rest.
Chorus:
So here it is, Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun.
What will your daddy do?
When he sees your Mama kissin' Santa Claus?
Ah ah!
Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall?
Do you ride on down the hillside in a buggy you have made?
When you land upon your head then you've been sleighed.
Chorus:
So here it is, Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun.
Chorus:
So here it is, Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun.
Chorus:
So here it is, Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun.
Chorus:
So here it is, Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun.
The room's all aglow
Outside the December wind blows
Away in the distance
The carolers sing in the snow
Everybody's laughing
The world is celebrating
And everyone's so happy
Except for me tonight.
Because I miss you
Most at Christmas time
And I can't get you
Get you off my mind
Every other season comes along
And I'm all right
But then I miss you
Most at Christmas time.
I gaze out the window
This cold winter's night
At all of the twinkling lights
Alone in the darkness
Remembering when you were mine
Everybody's smiling
The whole world is rejoicing
And everyone's embracing
Except for you and I.
Baby, I miss you most
At Christmas time
And I can't get you
Get you off my mind
Every other season comes along
And I'm all right
But then I miss you most
At Christmas time
In the springtime
Those memories start to fade
With the April rain
Through the summer days
Till autumn's leaves are gone
I get by without you
Till the snow begins to fall.
And then I miss you
Most at Christmas time
And I can't get you
Get you off my mind
Every other season comes along
And I'm all right
But then I miss you most
At Christmas time.
Wrap me in a great big bow
And tear me apart.
It's Christmas time
So open up the flood gates
Tell me that you'll be late
And rip me apart.
Cause you say that
You say that things will be alright
But I've heard that
I've heard that so many times.
And I know that
It's not Christmas
If the snow don't fall
And I'm still standing here
Three feet small
Lose our troubles
Because after all
It's Christmas time.
It's Christmas time.
Cold
Ice on the walkways
Slip in to the games we play
We're falling apart.
A great big house
That's made out of ginger bread
Crumbles to the ground
We're breaking apart.
But you said that
You said that things would be alright
But I've heard that
I've heard that so many times.
And I know that
It's not Christmas
If the snow don't fall
And I'm still standing here
Three feet small
Lose our troubles
Because after all
It's Christmas time.
And I've been waiting
For you to come
And it's hard
Cause I feel so alone
And I just want
You to come home.
Waiting for you to come
And it's hard
Cause I feel so alone
And I just want you
To come home.
It's not Christmas
If the snow don't fall
And I'm still standing here
Three feet small
Lose our troubles
Because after all
It's Christmas time.
It's not Christmas
If the snow don't fall
You're not here
To keep me safe and warm
Lose our troubles
Because after all
It's Christmas time.
It's Christmas time again
And all your friends
All your friends
Are smiling
It's Christmas time.
Tasty pheasants, Christmas presents
Countrysides covered with snow.
Oh, by gosh, by jingle
It's time for carols and Kris Kringle
Overeating, merry greetings
From relatives you don't know.
Then comes that big night
Giving the tree the trim
You'll hear voices by starlight
Singing a Yuletide hymn.
Oh, by gosh, by golly
It's time for mistletoe and holly
Fancy ties an' granny's pies
An' folks stealin' a kiss or two
As they whisper, "Merry Christmas" to you.
Dreams of Santa, dreams of snow
Fingers numb, faces aglow.
Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
Children singing Christian rhyme
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time to rejoice in the good that we see.
A time for living, a time for believing
A time for trusting, not deceiving
Love and laughter and joy ever after
Ours for the taking, just follow the Master.
Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
Children singing Christian rhyme
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time to rejoice in the good that we see.
Silent night
Holy night.
It's a time for giving, a time for getting
A time for forgiving and for forgetting
Christmas is love, Christmas is peace
A time for hating and fighting to cease.
Christmas time
Silent night
Mistletoe and wine
Holy night
Children singing Christian rhyme
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time to rejoice in the good that we see.
Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
Children singing Christian rhyme
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time to rejoice in the good that we see.
Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
Children singing Christian rhyme
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time to rejoice in the good that we see.
Christmas time
Silent night
Mistletoe and wine
Holy night
Children singing Christian rhyme
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time to rejoice in the good that we see.
When all through the castle
My monsters were having a Yuletide hassle
The tree was all trimmed in ghoulish things
Like werewolf fangs and vampire wings.
(It was a monster's holiday)
But they were up to no good
(It was a monster's holiday)
Didn't act like good monsters should
(It was a monster's holiday)
They found themselves a new play
(It was a monster's holiday)
They planned to rob Santa's sleigh.
They were making a list
And checking it twice
Frankenstein wanted a shiny new trike
A new chain for Yarnush
A brace for Igor's back
A speed shaver for Wolfman
A new cape for Drac.
(It was a monster's holiday)
They were up to no good
(It was a monster's holiday)
Didn't act like good monster's should
(It was a monster's holiday)
They found themselves a new play
(It was a monster's holiday)
They planned to rob Santa's sleigh.
The Mummy was to signal from the castle roof
At the very first sound of a reindeer hoof
As Santa slid down the chimney wall
The zombies were to make off with sleigh and all.
From beyond the moat there arose such a clatter
I jumped to the window to see what was the matter
Like a bolt of lightning it happened so quick
And there in our midst stood old Saint Nick.
He began to dig down deep in his sack
And came up with the traction for Igor's back
Drac got his cape
Franky's trike made him behave
Even Wolfman was happy, now he can shave.
(It was a monster's holiday)
And all ended well
(It was a monster's holiday)
And Santa was really swell
(It was a monster's holiday)
No need to rob Santa's sleigh
(It was a monster's holiday)
Maybe next year he'll come back.
So the children everywhere were spared the grief
Of losing their presents to a monster sleigh thief
Now the monsters love Santa and say they'll behave
And never again rob sleighs or graves.
(It was a monster's holiday)
Igor, what do you think of Santa now?
(It was a monster's holiday)
"Arrrrrr...Santa good!"
(It was a monster's holiday)
And Santa said as he drove out of sight
(It was a monster's holiday)
(Dracula accent):
"Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
Merry Christmas to all
And to all a good night - blaaaa!"
Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow
Where is that reindeer with the red nose, blaaaa
On Donner, on Blitzen, on Dancer..
Santa's got a beard that's long and white.
Who comes around on a special night?
Santa comes around on a special night.
Special Night; Beard that's white.

Couples holding hands, places to go
Seems like everyone but me is in love.
Santa, can you hear me?
I signed my letter, that I sealed with a kiss
I sent it off
It just said this,
"I know exactly what I want this year
Santa, can you hear me?
I want my baby (baby, yeah)
I want someone to love me Someone to hold me"
Maybe (maybe, maybe maybe)
He'll be all my own
In a big red bow.
Santa, can you hear me?
I have been so good this year
And all I want is one thing
Tell me my true love is near
He's all I want, just for me
Underneath my Christmas tree
I'll be waiting here

Oohhh yeah, yeah

Would I be wrong for taking a peek?

With something special for me in your sleigh
Ohh, please make my wish come true

No room, here in His world turned away
No room, no room.
No room, here in the hearts of mankind
No room, no cheery welcome could find
No room, surely the world is blind
No room, no room.
Angels, in heaven up yonder
Watch with amazement and wonder
To see the Son of the Highest treated so
No room.
No room, only a manger of hay
No room, He is a stranger today
No room, here in His world turned away
No room, no room, no room.
Somewhere in the dark
His words cut the silent night
"Take my hand, for the Child
That you carry is God's own
And though it seems the road is long
We're not that far from Bethlehem
Where all our hope and joy begins
For in our arms we'll cherish Him
We're not that far from Bethlehem".
Let us celebrate
As the Christmases go by
Learn to live our days
With our hearts near to the Child
Ever drawn, ever close
To the only love that lasts
And though 2000 years have passed.
We're not that far from Bethlehem
Where all our hope and joy began
For when our hearts still cherish Him
We're not that far
We're not that far from Bethlehem
Where all our hope and joy began
For when our hearts still cherish Him
We're not that far
We're not that far from Bethlehem.
Somebody snitched on me
I hid a frog in sister's bed
Somebody snitched on me.
I spilled some ink on Mommy's rug
I made Tommy eat a bug
Bought some gum with a penny slug
Somebody snitched on me.
Oh, I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad
I'm getting nuttin' for Christmas
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad.
I put a tack on teacher's chair
Somebody snitched on me
I tied a knot in Susie's hair
Somebody snitched on me
I did a dance on Mommy's plants
Climbed a tree and tore my pants
Filled the sugar bowl with ants
Somebody snitched on me.
So, I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad.
I won't be seeing Santa Claus
Somebody snitched on me
He won't come visit me because
Somebody snitched on me
Next year I'll be going straight
Next year I'll be good, just wait
I'd start now, but it's too late
Somebody snitched on me.
So you better be good whatever you do
'Cause if you're bad, I'm warning you
You'll get nuttin' for Christmas.
Thy leaves are so unchanging
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging
Not only green when summer's here
But also when 'tis cold and drear
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me
How often has the Christmas tree
Afforded me the greatest glee
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly
From base to summit, gay and bright
There's only splendor for the sight.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee
Thou bidst us true and faithful be
And trust in God unchangingly
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee!.

And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny
From depths of Hell Thy people save
And give them victory o'er the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Key of David, come
And open wide our heavenly home
Make safe the way that leads on high
And close the path to misery
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, O come, Thou Lord of might
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height
In ancient times did'st give the Law
In cloud, and majesty and awe
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming
Now come the wise men from out of the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friends
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother
And in his name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
With all our hearts we praise His holy name
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
French
Minuit, chrétiens, c'est l'heure solennelle
Où l'Homme-Dieu descendit jusqu'à nous
Pour effacer la tache originelle
Et de Son Père arrêter le courroux.
Le monde entier tressaille d'espérance
En cette nuit qui lui donne un Sauveur.
Chorus
Peuple à genoux, attends ta délivrance
Noël, Noël, voici le Rédempteur,
Noël, Noël, voici le Rédempteur!
Le Rédempteur a brisé toute entrave:
La terre est libre, et le ciel est ouvert.
Il voit un frère où n'était qu'un esclave,
L'amour unit ceux qu'enchaînait le fer.
Qui Lui dira notre reconnaissance,
C'est pour nous tous qu'Il naît,
Qu'Il souffre et meurt.
Chorus
Peuple à genoux, attends ta délivrance
Noël, Noël, voici le Rédempteur,
Noël, Noël, voici le Rédempteur!
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee to-night.
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God, the King
And peace to men on earth.
How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven
No ear may hear his coming
But in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive him, still
The dear Christ enters in.
Where children pure and happy
Pray to the blessed Child
Where misery cries out to thee
Son of the mother mild
Where charity stands watching
And faith holds wide the door
The dark night wakes, the glory breaks
And Christmas comes once more.
O holy Child of Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born in us to-day
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel!

He is alpha and omega, He the source, the ending He
Of the things that are, that have been
And that future years shall see, evermore and evermore!
At His Word the worlds were framed; He commanded; it was done
Heaven and earth and depths of ocean in their threefold order one
All that grows beneath the shining
Of the moon and burning sun, evermore and evermore!
He is found in human fashion, death and sorrow here to know
That the race of Adam's children doomed by law to endless woe
May not henceforth die and perish
In the dreadful gulf below, evermore and evermore!
O that birth forever blessed, when the virgin, full of grace
By the Holy Ghost conceiving, bare the Savior of our race
And the Babe, the world's Redeemer
First revealed His sacred face, evermore and evermore!
This is He whom seers in old time chanted of with one accord
Whom the voices of the prophets promised in their faithful word
Now He shines, the long expected
Let creation praise its Lord, evermore and evermore!
O ye heights of heaven adore Him; angel hosts, His praises sing
Powers, dominions, bow before Him, and extol our God and King!
Let no tongue on earth be silent
Every voice in concert sing, evermore and evermore!
Righteous Judge of souls departed, righteous King of them that live
On the Father's throne exalted none in might with Thee may strive
Who at last in vengeance coming
Sinners from Thy face shalt drive, evermore and evermore!
Thee let old men, thee let young men, thee let boys in chorus sing
Matrons, virgins, little maidens, with glad voices answering
Let their guileless songs re-echo
And the heart its music bring, evermore and evermore!
Christ, to Thee with God the Father, and, O Holy Ghost, to Thee
Hymn and chant with high thanksgiving, and unwearied praises be
Honor, glory, and dominion
And eternal victory, evermore and evermore!
Oh come ye, Oh come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him, born the King of Angels
Oh come, let us adore Him,
Oh come, let us adore Him
Oh come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation
Oh Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to God in the highest
Oh come, let us adore Him,
Oh come, let us adore Him
Oh come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning
Jesus, to Thee be all glory giving
Word of the Father now in flesh appearing
Oh come, let us adore Him,
Oh come, let us adore Him
Oh come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
It's Christmas Eve, and Larry is anxiously awaiting
The arrival of Santa Claus, with a plate of cookies.
Larry: Oh, Santa!
I can't wait for you to come
I just can't wait for you to come
And I've got cookies!
Three yummy cookies!
Just for you for when you come
Only for you for when you come
Because it's Christmas!
Knock, knock, knock
Larry: Could that be Santa?
Could that be him?
Could it be the one
Who brings presents
For a cucumber like me?
A good cucumber like me?
Narrator: Larry is surprised to be greeted
Not by Santa
But a crafty bank robber!
Larry: Who are you?
Bank robber: I'm a bank robber!
And I've come to rob your bank
Oh yes! I've come to rob your bank
And I've come to take your dimes
And swipe your nickels
So stand back, step aside you silly pickle!
And let me in!
Narrator: Although frightened by the intruder
In the spirit of Christmas Larry makes an offering.
Larry: I'm not a banker
I have no bank, my robbing friend
But I have cookies
Three yummy cookies
And I don't have nickels
But please take this, my robbing friend
Eat one of these my robbing friend
They are for Santa
But you may have one.
Narrator: The bank robber is truly touched
By Larry's good will
But Larry, although momentarily distracted
Is still excited about seeing Santa.
Larry:Oh, Santa!
I can't wait for you to come
I just can't wait for you to come
And I've got cookies!
Two yummy cookies!
Just for you
For when you come
Oh me!
For you for when you come
Because it's Christmas!"
Bank robber:
I'm a robber!
I came to rob your bank
Oh yes!
I came to rob your bank
You shared a cookie
A yummy cookie
Though I'd love to take your dimes
Perhaps another time
Because it's Christmas!"
Knock, knock, knock
Larry: Could that be Santa?
Could that be him?
Could it be the one
Who brings presents
For a cucumber like me?
A good cucumber like me?
Narrator: Once again, it is not Santa
Who has come to Larry's door
But this time a savage Norseman.
Larry: Who are you?
Viking: I'm a Viking!
And I've come to take your land
Oh yes! I've come to take your land
And I've come to burn your crops
And steal your horses!
And I've come to
Step on your chickens
And soil your quilts!
Narrator: Although frightened by the intruder
In the spirit of Christmas
Larry makes an offering.
Larry: I don't have land
I don't have crops, my Viking friend
But I have cookies!
Two yummy cookies!
And I don't have horses
But please take this, my Viking friend
Eat one of these, my Viking friend
They are for Santa
But you may have one!
Narrator: The Viking is also touched
By Larry's good will
But Larry's thoughts are still with Santa.
Larry: Oh, Santa!
I can't wait for you to come
I just can't wait for you to come
I've got a cookie!
A yummy cookie!
Just for you, for when you come
Oh me!
For you, for when you come
Because it's Christmas!
Viking: I'm a Viking!
I came to take your land
Oh yes!
I came to take your land
You shared a cookie
A yummy cookie
Though I'd love to soil your quilts
I don't think that I will
Because it's Christmas!
Knock, knock, knock
Larry: Could that be Santa?
Could that be him?
Could it be the one
Who brings presents
For a cucumber like me?
A good cucumber like me?
Narrator: Larry is greeted now
By an agent of the Internal Revenue Service.
Larry: Who are you?
Peach: I'm from the IRS!
And I've come to tax your...
SLAM
Larry: Oh, Santa!
I can't wait for you to come
I just can't wait for you to come
It's finally Santa!
It's finally him!
At last, the one who brings presents
For a cucumber like me
A good cucumber like me!
Santa: I'm Santa!
And I've come to bring you gifts
Oh yes!
I've come to bring you gifts
And I've come to stuff your stockings
Oh, ho ho ho!
And I've come to jiggle my belly
And wiggle my nose
Hey, wait a minute!
Isn't that my belt?
And what are you doing with my hat?
So you're the ones!
Bank robber: Wait a minute, I can explain!
Viking: We've changed!
Santa: Nobody messes with Santa!
You know that, don't you?
You've been very naughty!
And I've got a list!
Peach: Did you claim that?
Larry: Merry Christmas!
Little toy drums coming from a sack
Carried by a man dressed in white and red
Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed?
Close your eyes
Listen to the skies
All is calm, all is well
Soon you'll hear Kris Kringle and the jingle bells.
Bringing old toy trains, little toy tracks
Little toy drums coming from a sack
Carried by a man dressed in white and red
Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed?
Close your eyes
Listen to the skies
All is calm, all is well
Soon you'll hear Kris Kringle and the jingle bells.

To hear the news the angels bring
On Christmas night all Christians sing
To hear the news the angels bring
News of great joy, news of great mirth
News of our merciful King's birth.
Then why should men on earth be sad
Since our Redeemer made us glad
Then why should we on earth be sad
Since our Redeemer made us glad
When from our sin, He set us free
All for to gain our liberty.
When sin departs before Your grace
Then life and health come in its place
When sin departs before Your grace
Then life and health come in its place
Angels and men with joy may sing
All for to see the newborn King.
All out of darkness we have light
Which made the angels sing this night
All out of darkness we have light
Which made the angels sing this night
"Glory to God and peace to men
Now and forevermore. Amen."
As I am walking
Surrounded by night
Stars high above me
Make a wish under moonlight.
On my way home
I remember
Only good days
I'm on my way home
I can remember
Every new day.
I move in silence
With each step taken
Snow falling round me
Like angels in flight
Far in the distance
Is my wish under moonlight.
On my way home
I remember
Only good days
On my way home
I remember
All the best days
I'm on my way home
I can remember
Every new day.
On my way home
I remember
All the good days.
On my way home
I remember
All the best days
I'm on my way home
I can remember
Every new day.
With the song children sing
To the Lord, Christ our King
Born on earth to save us
Him the Father gave us.
Chorus:
Id-e-o-o-o id-e-o-o-o
Id-e-o gloria in excelsis Deo!
His the doom, ours the mirth
When he came down to earth
Bethlehem saw his birth
Ox and ass beside him
From the cold would hide him.
Chorus:
Id-e-o-o-o id-e-o-o-o
Id-e-o gloria in excelsis Deo!
God's bright star, o'er his head
Wise Men three to him led
Kneel they low by his bed
Lay their gifts before him
Praise him and adore him.
Chorus:
Id-e-o-o-o id-e-o-o-o
Id-e-o gloria in excelsis Deo!
On this day angels sing
With their song earth shall ring
Praising Christ, heaven's King
Born on earth to save us
Peace and love he gave us.
Chorus:
Id-e-o-o-o id-e-o-o-o
Id-e-o gloria in excelsis Deo!
Stood a lowly cattle shed
Where a mother laid her Baby
In a manger for His bed
Mary was that mother mild
Jesus Christ her little Child.
He came down to earth from Heaven
Who is God and Lord of all
And His shelter was a stable
And His cradle was a stall
With the poor and mean and lowly
Lived on earth our Savior holy.
And, through all His wondrous childhood
He would honor and obey
Love and watch the lowly maiden
In whose gentle arms He lay
Christian children all must be
Mild, obedient, good as He.
For He is our childhood's pattern
Day by day, like us He grew
He was little, weak and helpless
Tears and smiles like us He knew
And He feeleth for our sadness
And He shareth in our gladness.
And our eyes at last shall see Him
Through His own redeeming love
For that Child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in Heav'n above
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone.
Not in that poor lowly stable
With the oxen standing by
We shall see Him but in Heaven
Set at God's right hand on high
Where like stars His children crowned
All in white shall wait around.
So Joseph found a stable in which Mary had her child
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ.
Once upon a Christmas in a manger far away
A King was born His palace was a manger filled with hay
His royal robe was swaddling cloth, a halo was His crown
Once upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem.
And all the world rejoiced because the King was born at last
A savior had been promised now it had come to pass
And the joyful news that He was born, spread quickly far and wide
Once upon a Christmas, was the birth of Jesus Christ.
Once upon a Christmas from the Far East wise men came
With gold and myrrh and frankincense to praise the newborn King
And shepherds left their flocks and came to see and worship Him
Once upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem.
And all the world rejoiced because the King was born at last
A savior had been promised now it had come to pass
And the joyful news that He was born spread quickly far and wide
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ.
Once upon a Christmas far away in Bethlehem.
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December.
Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory.
Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory.
Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart
Used to know
Things it yearns to remember.
And a song
Someone sings
Once upon a December.
One little Christmas tree that never had grown
Cried as he looked up to the sky.
Oh please, Mr. Father Tree, the tallest of all
I'm so afraid and alone
Could one little Christmas tree so tiny and small
Light up someone's home?
Cause one little Christmas tree can light up a home
So, one little child can find a toy
One little Christmas tree can light up a home
So, one little heart can find some joy.
One little angel who was riding a star
Cried as she looked down at the tree
Oh please, Mr. Father Tree wherever you are
May I give him the star you gave to me?
Then in the heavens came a voice from afar
A voice that was heard throughout the world
"Go down little angel girl and give him your star
Tonight he'll light the world."
Cause one little Christmas tree can light up the world
So those who are lost may find their way
One little Christmas tree can light up the world
So all men may see you on Christmas Day.
One small dream of a Savior tonight
One small hand reaching out to the starlight
One small Savior of life
Ooooh.
One king bringing his gold and his riches
One king ruling an army of might
One king kneeling with incense and candlelight
One King bringing us life
Ooooh.
See Him lying, a cradle beneath Him
See Him smiling in the stall
See His mother praising His Father
See His tiny eyelids fall.
See the shepherds kneeling before Him
See the kings on bended knee
See the mother praising the Father
See the Blessed Infant sleep.
One small child in a land of a thousand
One small dream of a Savior tonight
One small hand reaching out to the starlight
One small Savior of life
Ooooh.
One toy soldier on his own
With his drum to keep the time.
He keeps the beat of marching feet
He keeps the beat so true
He's one small toy for one small boy
But his heart is, oh! so blue.
Who can mend my broken drum?
Will it be as good as new?
I must play when morning comes
If I don't, what shall I do?
He keeps the beat of marching feet
He keeps the beat inside
While children sleep, in dreams so deep
There's a secret he must hide.
For he keeps the beat of marching feet
He keeps the beat so true
He wants to sing and hopes to bring
Happy Christmas day to you.
He keeps the beat of marching feet
He keeps the beat inside
Someone has come to mend his drum
Now his heart lights up with pride.
So, he keeps the beat of marching feet
He keeps the beat so true
When morning comes
He plays his drum.
Happy Christmas day to you!
Happy Christmas day to you!
Happy Christmas day to you!
Holidays are here again!

To Grandmother's house we go
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
Through white and drifted snow.
Over the river and through the woods
Oh, how the wind does blow
It stings the toes and bites the nose
As over the ground we go.
Over the river and through the woods
To have a full day of play
Oh, hear the bells ringing ting-a-ling-ling
For it is Christmas Day.
Over the river and through the woods
Trot fast my dapple gray
Spring o'er the ground just iike a hound
For this is Christmas Day.
Over the river and through the woods
And straight through the barnyard gate
It seems that we go so dreadfully slow
It is so hard to wait.
Over the river and through the woods
Now Grandma's cap I spy
Hurrah for fun; the pudding's done
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie.
Past three a clock
And a cold frosty morning
Past three a clock
Good morrow, masters all!
Born is a baby
Gentle as may be
Son of the eternal
Father supernal.
Chorus:
Past three a clock
And a cold frosty morning
Past three a clock
Good morrow, masters all!
Seraph quire singeth
Angel bell ringeth
Hark how they rime it
Time it and chime it.
Chorus:
Past three a clock
And a cold frosty morning
Past three a clock
Good morrow, masters all!
Mid earth rejoices
Hearing such voices
E'er to fore so well
Caroling Nowell.
Chorus:
Past three a clock
And a cold frosty morning
Past three a clock
Good morrow, masters all!
Hinds o'er the pearly
Dewy lawn early
Seek the high Stranger
Laid in the manger.
Chorus:
Past three a clock
And a cold frosty morning
Past three a clock
Good morrow, masters all!
Cheese from the dairy
Bring they for Mary
And, not for money
Butter and honey.
Chorus:
Past three a clock
And a cold frosty morning
Past three a clock
Good morrow, masters all!
Light out of star-land
Leadeth from far land
Princes to meet him
Worship and greet him.
Chorus:
Past three a clock
And a cold frosty morning
Past three a clock
Good morrow, masters all!
Myrrh from full coffer
Incense they offer
Nor is the golden
Nugget withholden.
Chorus:
Past three a clock
And a cold frosty morning
Past three a clock
Good morrow, masters all!
Thus they: I pray you
Up, sirs, nor stay you
Till ye confess him
Likewise and bless him.
Chorus:
Past three a clock
And a cold frosty morning
Past three a clock
Good morrow, masters all!
Robin, bring your flute and come
Aren't they fun to play upon?
Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan
When you play your fife and drum
How can anyone be glum?
When the men of olden days
Gave the King of Kings their praise
They had pipes to play upon
Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan
And also the drums they'd play
Full of joy, on Christmas Day.
God and man today become
Closely joined as flute and drum
Let the joyous tune play on
Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan
As the instruments you play
We will sing, this Christmas Day.
Those are the stories that are well known
To all little girls and boys.
But I've got another story
That I bet you haven't heard
Did you know that Santa
Has a secret agent bird?
He's Penguin, James Penguin
That dapper little guy
Like a well dressed duck in a three piece tux
He's Santa's secret spy.
Have you ever wondered
How Santa Clause keeps tabs?
How he knows when you've been good
How he knows when you've been bad?
He's Penguin, James Penguin
That dapper little guy
Like a well dressed duck in a three piece tux
He's Santa's secret spy.
From an undisclosed location
He's watching me and you
He's got satellite up links in his cuff links
Yeah, he sees everything you do.
He's Penguin, James Penguin
That dapper little guy
Like a well dressed duck in a three piece tux
He's Santa's secret spy.
Not so very long ago
Santa didn't need much help
But with more and more kids every year
He soon got overwhelmed.
He told the elves one Christmas
"We can't do this anymore"
Then a knight in shining polyester
Waddled through his door.
And it was Penguin, James Penguin
He was there to save the day
He had wireless
And GPS outfitted on the sleigh.
And Santa said, "Penguin
Won't you be my ears and eyes?
How'd you like to help me run
My SCFBI.
He's Penguin, James Penguin
And now I guess you've heard
How Santa got his little Christmas
Secret Agent Bird.
The time is near
Of the crowning of the year
Make your house fair as you are able
Trim the hearth and set the table
People, look east and sing today
Love, the guest, is on the way.
Furrows, be glad
Though earth is bare
One more seed is planted there
Give up your strength the seed to nourish
That in course the flower may flourish
People, look east and sing today
Love, the rose, is on the way.
Birds, though you long have ceased to build
Guard the nest that must be filled
Even the hour when wings are frozen
God for fledging time has chosen
People, look east and sing today
Love, the bird, is on the way.
Stars, keep the watch
When night is dim
One more light the bowl shall brim
Shining beyond the frosty weather
Bright as sun and moon together
People, look east and sing today
Love, the star, is on the way.
Angels, announce with shouts of mirth
Christ who brings new life to earth
Set every peak and valley humming
With the word, the Lord is coming
People, look east and sing today
Love, the Lord, is on the way.
La neige étend son manteau blanc
Et les yeux levés vers le ciel
À genoux, les petits enfants
Avant de fermer les paupières
Font une dernière prière.
Petit Papa Noël
Quand tu descendras du ciel
Avec des jouets par milliers
N'oublie pas mon petit soulier
Mais avant de partir
Il faudra bien te couvrir
Dehors tu vas avoir si froid
C'est un peu À cause de moi.
Il me tarde tant que le jour se lève
Pour voir si tu m'as apporté
Tous les beaux joujoux que je vois en rêves
Et que je t'ai commandés.
Petit Papa Noël
When you sail down from the sky
Bringing toys, so shiny and so bright
Please don't pass my little stocking by;
Before you leave your home
Wear your bright red coat so warm
On this cold and snowy winter night
How I pray you'll see my candlelight.
I can hardly sleep, 'cause my heart is singing
Listening to a new Christmas song
I can't wait to see what the morning's bringing
Oh, I’ve been waiting so long.
Petit Papa Noël
Quand tu descendras du ciel
Avec des jouets par milliers
N'oublies pas mon petit soulier
Petit Papa Noël.

Red striped candy, nut cracker handy
Kettle a-bubbling hot as can be.
Snow clouds hang low and threatening
Maybe it won't, praying it may
The brightest fireplace glows in every face
Waiting for Christmas day.
There'll be walk-a-round songs
And talk-a-round songs
Songs of the inn and stable
There'll be morning time songs
And evening time songs
And grace at every table
And jingle bells will jingle all the way all day.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel
One in the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring
Is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart.
Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't wanna see my Mamma cry.
Just last year, when I was only seven
And now I'm almost eight as you can see
You came home at a quarter past eleven
Fell down underneath our Christmas tree.
Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't wanna see my Mamma cry
Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't wanna see my Mamma cry.
Mamma smiled and looked outside the window
She told me "Son, you better go upstairs"
Then you laughed and hollered "Merry Christmas"
I turned around and saw my Mamma's tears.
Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't wanna see my Mamma cry
Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas
I don't wanna see my Mamma cry
No, I don't wanna see my Mamma cry!
Wrap your presents to your darling from you;
Pretty pencils to write, I love you
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue.
Crowded streets, busy feet hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hoping that you won't pass him by.
Should you stop? Better not, much too busy
You're in a hurry, my! how time does fly
In the distance the ringing of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter he cries.
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write, I love you
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue.
If you need help believing 'cause your spirit ain't too strong
Hold my hand, we'll push that cloud away.
Put a little holiday in your heart
It'll put a little shuffle in your step
Give you a song, that you can sing
With a melody you can't forget
And if you wanna join in a little harmony
To keep the world from tearin' apart
Well, you know where to look
Yeah, you gotta put a little holiday in your heart.
There's a man on the corner
Who doesn't have a name
People pass and turn their heads away;
But to share a simple kindness
Would set their heart aflame
And you'll get more than you'll ever give away.
Put a little holiday in your heart
It'll put a little shuffle in your step
Give you a song that you can sing
With a melody you can't forget
And if you wanna join in a little harmony
To keep the world from tearin' apart
Well, you know where to look
Yeah, you gotta put a little holiday in your heart.
It starts with you, it starts with me
This ain't no stranger, he's family
And it don't matter if we don't agree
It all comes down to love.
Put a little holiday in your heart
It'll put a little shuffle in your step
Give you a song that you can sing
With a melody you can't forget
And if you wanna join in a little harmony
To keep the world from tearin' apart
Well, you know where to look
Yeah, you gotta put a little holiday in your heart.
Threw his old pack right over his back
Opened the windows of his little shack
And shouted "Oh Dasher and Dancer
Vixen and Blitzen, come on here
We're gonna get a-goin' and spread some cheer
So limber your legs and sharpen your hooves
'Cause tonight is the night
We're gonna jump on the roof.
Well, the reindeer they were so proud and grand
To take another trip all over the land
They jumped right into their proper place
To get hepped up for that midnight race.
Ol' Santa he shook off the ice and snow
Boarded his sleigh and then yelled "Let's go"
All the little toys were happy too
Because they were so bright and new
A little piano then started to play
Santa began to swing and sway
Thought he heard a toy drum startin' to beat
But he found it was the rhythm of the reindeers' feet.
The reindeer boogied in the middle of the road
Tonight we have a mighty big load
Don't boogie to the left, now boogie to the right
Do the reindeer boogie this Christmas Eve night.
The reindeer boogied in the middle of the road
Tonight we have a mighty big load
Don't boogie to the left, now boogie to the right
Do the reindeer boogie this Christmas Eve night.
Rise up, shepherd, and follow
It will lead to the place where the Christ was born
Rise up, shepherd, and follow.
Follow, follow, rise up, shepherd, and follow
Follow the Star of Bethlehem
Rise up, shepherd, and follow.
If you take good heed to the angel's words
Rise up, shepherd, and follow
You'll forget your flocks, you'll forget your herds
Rise up, shepherd, and follow.
Follow, follow, rise up, shepherd, and follow
Follow the Star of Bethlehem
Rise up, shepherd, and follow.
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry.
He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.
I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.
Oh, I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye.
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop.
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling.
You'll get a sentimental
Feeling when you hear
Voices singing let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly.
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
In the new old-fashioned way.
And if I don't get it, I'm gonna be blue
I wanna rockin' little Christmas with you.
I don't want no tinker toys
Don't wanna waste my time drinkin' with the boys
There's only one thing that I wanna do
I wanna rockin' little Christmas with you.
I want a rockin' little Christmas
Rockin' little Christmas with you
And if I get my wishes, it's gonna be delicious
A stockin' full of love for two.
Well, I've been a good boy all year
And I deserve a little Christmas cheer
I want your arms around me, the whole night through
I wanna rockin' little Christmas with you.
So baby, tell me, what's it gonna be?
Where you gonna spend your Christmas Eve?
And will I be merry or will I be blue?
I wanna rockin' little Christmas with you.
I want a rockin' little Christmas
Rockin' little Christmas with you
And if I get my wishes, gonna be delicious
A stockin' full of love for two.
Well, baby, what's it gonna be?
And where you gonna spend your Christmas Eve?
And will I be merry or will I be blue?
I wanna rockin' little Christmas with you.
I want a rockin' little Christmas
Rockin' little Christmas
Rockin' little Christmas with you.
And Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid
And Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer
(reindeer)
Had a very shiny nose
(a very shiny nose)
And if you ever saw it
(saw it)
You would even say it glows
(like a flash light).
All of the other reindeer
(reindeer)
Used to laugh and call him names
(like Pinocchio)
They never let poor Rudolph
(Rudolph)
Join in any reindeer games
(like Monopoly).
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
(Ho Ho Ho)
"Rudolph, with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then all the reindeer loved him
(loved him)
As they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
(reindeer)
You'll go down in history!"
(like Columbus).
Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry, he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph a whizzing like a merry-go-round.
Said Santa to a boy child, "What have you been longing for?"
"All I want for Christmas is a Rock and Roll electric guitar"
And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a shooting star.
Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph a whizzing like a merry-go-round.
Said Santa to a girl child, "What will please you most to get?"
"A little baby doll that can cry, sleep, drink and wet"
And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a Saber jet.
Run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph yeah
Run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph
Santa Claus is coming to town.
Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry, he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph a whizzing like a merry-go-round.
Run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph yeah
Run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph
Santa Claus is coming to town.
C'mon, you can do it!
Alright!
Dashing through the snow in my rusty Chevrolet
Down the road I go, sliding all the way
I need new piston rings, I need some new snow tires
My car is held together by a piece of chicken wire!
Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke, the door just blew away
I light a match to see the dash and then I start to pray ay
The frame is bent, the muffler went, the radio's okay
Oh, what fun it is to drive this rusty Chevrolet!
I went to IGA, to get some Christmas cheer
I just passed up my left front tire and it's gettin' hard to steer
Speeding down the highway, right past the county cops
I have to drag my swampers just to get the car to stop.
Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke, the door just blew away
I light a match to see the dash and then I start to pray ay
The frame is bent, the muffler went, the radio's okay
Oh, what fun it is to drive this rusty Chevrolet!
Bouncing through the snowdrifts in a big, blue cloud of smoke
People laugh as I drive by; I wonder what's the joke!
I have to get to Walmart to pick up my layaway
Cause Santa's comin' soon in his big, old, rusty sleigh!
Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke, the door just blew away
I light a match to see the dash and then I start to pray ay
The frame is bent, the muffler went, the radio's okay
Oh, what fun it is to drive this rusty Chevrolet!
I'll suppose we'll be watching TV
Yeah, and have a burger meal
'Cause mommy she left us
She took the keys to the automobile
She took the credit cards and the furs
And now we can't afford a tree .
I said sonny, it's a sad sad Christmas
Oh boy, it's a sad sad Christmas
Oh no, 'cause daddy, I love you anyway
And I don't care if she has gone away
And I love you twice as much on Christmas day
Yeah, daddy, I love you any way.
Well, now we can't afford to celebrate the Lord
Daddy, what a Lord? He made mother take the Ford
But who's gonna give you your goodnight kiss
And who's gonna clean up after this
Daddy, don't be blue
You know that I love you.
Yeah but sonny, it's a sad sad Christmas
I tell you boy, it's a sad sad Christmas
Oh no, 'cause daddy, I love you anyway
And I don't care if she has gone away
And I love you twice as much on Christmas day
Yeah, daddy, I love you any way.
Hold my hand son.
And daddy, I love you any way
And I'm glad that you're here with me on Christmas day.
Thank you, boy.
And I don't care if she has gone away.
Yeah, lets stick together
'Cause daddy, I love you twice as much today
Oh, you're a swell boy
And daddy, I love you any way
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve.
She didn't recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried.
We took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totaled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation dragged.
We went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car.
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how.
She said she'd married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would have liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie.
I said the years had been a friend to her
And her eyes were still as blue
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw
Doubt or gratitude.
She said she saw me in the record stores
And that I must be doing well
I said the audience was heavenly
But the traveling was hell.
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how.
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to time
Reliving in our eloquence
Another 'auld lang syne'.
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
And running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I watched her drive away.
Just for a moment I was back at school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home
The snow turned into rain.
As white as the milk,
And Mary bore Jesus
All wrapped up in silk.
Chorus:
And Mary bore Jesus
Our Saviour for to be
And the first tree in the greenwood
It was the holly
Holly! Holly!
And the first tree in the greenwood
It was the holly!
Now the holly bears a berry
As green as the grass
And Mary bore Jesus
Who died on the cross.
Chorus:
And Mary bore Jesus
Our Saviour for to be
And the first tree in the greenwood
It was the holly
Holly! Holly!
And the first tree in the greenwood
It was the holly!
Now the holly bears a berry
As black as the coal
And Mary bore Jesus
Who died for us all.
Chorus:
And Mary bore Jesus
Our Saviour for to be
And the first tree in the greenwood
It was the holly
Holly! Holly!
And the first tree in the greenwood
It was the holly!
Now the holly bears a berry
As red as the blood
Then trust we our Saviour
Who rose from the dead.
Chorus:
And Mary bore Jesus
Our Saviour for to be
And the first tree in the greenwood
It was the holly
Holly! Holly!
And the first tree in the greenwood
It was the holly!
Just slip a sable
Under the tree for me
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby
So hurry down the chimney
Tonight.
Santa baby
A '54 convertible too
Light blue
I'll wait up for you, dear
Santa baby
So hurry down the chimney Tonight.
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellows
I haven't kissed
Next year I could be just as good
If you check off my Christmas list.
Santa baby
I want a yacht
And really, that's not a lot
Been an angel all year
Santa baby
So hurry down the chimney
Tonight.
Santa honey
One little thing
I really need the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa baby
So hurry down the chimney
Tonight.
Santa cutie
And fill my stocking
With a duplex and checks
Sign your x on the line
Santa cutie
So hurry down the chimney
Tonight.
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations Bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me.
Santa baby
Forgot to mention one little thing
A ring
I don't mean on the phone,
Santa baby
So hurry down the chimney tonight.
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry, tonight.
I don't need a lot of presents
To make my Christmas bright
I just need my baby's arms
Wound around me tight
Uh-ho, Santa hear my plea
Santa, bring my baby back to me.
Santa, bring my baby back to me.
The Christmas tree is ready
The candles all aglow
But with my baby far away
What good is mistletoe?
Uh-ho, Santa, hear my plea
Santa, bring my baby back to me.
Santa, bring my baby back to me.
Please, make these reindeer hurry
Well, the time is drawing near
It sure won't seem like Christmas
Unless my baby's here
Don't fill my sock with candy
No bright and shiny toy
You wanna make me happy
And fill my heart with joy
Then Santa, hear my plea
Santa, bring my baby back to me.
Santa, bring my baby back to me.
Please, make these reindeer hurry

Couples holding hands, places to go
Seems like everyone but me is in love
Santa, can you hear me?
I sent my letter that I sealed with a kiss
I send it off and just said this
I know exactly what I want this year
Santa, can you hear me?
I want my baby, baby
I want someone to love me
Someone to hold
Maybe, maybe
Be all my own in a big red bow
Santa, can you hear me?

And all I want is one thing
Tell me, my true love is here
He's all I want
Just for me u
Underneath my Christmas tree
I'll be waiting here
Santa that's my only wish this year.
Christmas Eve, I just can't sleep
Will I be wrong just taking a peek?
Cause that I heard that you're coming to town
Santa, can you hear me?
I really hope you're on your way
With something special for me in your sleigh
Ooh please make my wish come true
Santa, can you hear me?
I want my baby, baby
I want someone to love me
Someone to hold
Maybe, maybe
We'll be all alone
Under the mistletoe.

Lucille runs outside
Just to see if there might be a sleigh
Little Bobby stares down
At the plate where cookies still lay
And tries to understand
Why momma said
"Santa can't stay".
Chorus:
Momma said Santa can't stay
Said she told him that twice yesterday
Then a car just like Dad's
Pulled out and drove away
After momma said
"Santa can't stay".
They both heard him coming
Saw Mom run down the hall and holler, "wait!
Doug, you're drunk!
Don't come inside
I'm not joking
I've had all this I can take".
He threw a present really hard
That almost hit Mom's new boyfriend Ray
And yelled "ho-ho, lucky for you she's here"
And said that
"Santa can't stay".
Chorus:
Momma said "Santa can't stay"
Said she told him that twice yesterday
Then a car just like Dad's
Pulled out and drove away
After momma said
"Santa can't stay".
And when it starts to snow
The little boys and girls all know
Soon they'll hear the sounds of your reindeer.
Now sometimes, grownups grow up to believe
That you don't really come on Christmas Eve
But I don't think that's true 'cause I know I've seen you
In sparking little eyes around the tree.
Oh Santa Claus, I still believe in you
There's still a kid inside of me that still believes you're true
Oh Santa Claus, the kids are tucked in tight
The hour has arrived, it's time to play ol' Santa Claus tonight.
Spoken:
Well, I don't see how anybody could ever doubt that there really is a Santa Claus
Especially if they've ever seen a little boy who's just got his very first bike
Or if they've ever seen a little girl
With her arms wrapped around her baby doll so tight
And both of 'em waking up Mama and Daddy way before daylight
And Grandma and Grandpa just lookin' young and lovin' life
'Cause they know that their grand kids gonna be alright
And Mama and Daddy, they'll be waitin' up to answer ol' Santa's call
'Cause tonight they're not worried about payin' bills
Lord, they're just lovin' it all!
Oh Santa Claus, I still believe in you
There's still a kid in all of us that still believes you're true
Oh Santa Claus, the kids are sleepin' tight
We're turnin' out the lights and I'll be waiting up for you tonight.
Oh Santa Claus, the kids are tucked in tight
Santa Claus, turnin' out the lights
Oh Santa Claus
I still believe in you.
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town.
He's making a list
And checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town.
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good, for goodness sake!
Oh, you better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town.
That I couldn't believe
I went for a walk
As the snow came down
And when it stopped
I was in a different town
And the sign said,
"Have no fear;
You're not lost,
You're here!"
Walkin' this Christmas
Down Santa Claus lane
No need to wonder
No need to explain
Just have some faith
In what you see
You're right here
Where you wanna be
Walkin' this Christmas
Down Santa Claus lane
Down Santa Claus lane.
Elves were standing in the street
Snow men and reindeer came out to greet
Silver bells chimed from far away
As Santa rode by on an open sleigh
And he told me,
"Have no fear
You're not lost
You're here!"
Walkin' this Christmas
Down Santa Claus lane
No need to wonder
No need to explain
Just have some faith
In what you see
You're right here
Where you wanna be
Walkin' this Christmas
Down Santa Claus lane
Down Santa Claus lane.
I don't know how
I don't know when
But one day
I'll be back again.
And he told me,
"Have no fear
You're not lost
You're here."
Walkin' this Christmas
Down Santa Claus lane
No need to wonder
No need to explain
Just have some faith
In what you see
You're right here
Where you wanna be
Walkin' this Christmas
Down Santa Claus lane.
I don't know how I noticed the piece of paper at my feet
But somethin' made me pick it up, instead of goin' on my way
I stopped and froze right in my tracks
As I read what it had to say:
"Oh Santa, if you can't find me
We're livin' out here on the street
But I'll be watchin' for you
You're not gonna forget me, are you?
Daddy says he knows you'll try
But we might be too hard to find this year
Oh Santa, I'm right here".
It said, "We don't have our house no more
I wish we could go home
Mama says we will some day and she prays it won't be long
But they closed daddy's factory and took most of our things
Now Santa, I don't need to much, so this year could you bring
Bring my mom a coat that's warm
Cause the one she's got is awful torn
Maybe dad could help you work, makin' toys for boys and girls".
"Oh Santa, if you can't find me
We're livin' out here on the street
But I'll be watchin' for you
You're not gonna forget me, are you?
Daddy says he knows you'll try
But we might be too hard to find this year
Oh Santa, I'm right here".
"I'm right here
I'm right here".
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was a' much too thin.
He didn't come down the chimney
So momma must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked a lot like him.
Well, they thought I was fast a' sleepin',
They thought that I was tucked in bed
They never thought I'd come a' peepin'
Or that I'd hear what was said.
Santa put his arm around momma
And momma put her arm around him
So if Santa Claus ain't daddy
Then I'm a gonna tell on them.
Santa looked like daddy
Or daddy looked like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was a' much too thin.
He didn't come down the chimney
So momma must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked a lot like him.
I never saw Dancer or Prancer
I never heard the sleigh bells ring
I never saw the red nosed reindeer
Like they show on the TV screen.
But he sure brought lots of presents
So Santa Claus, he must have been
Well, he sure looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked a lot like him.
Santa looked like daddy
Or daddy looked like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was a' much too thin.
He didn't come down the chimney
So momma must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked a lot like him.
Santa looked like daddy
Or daddy looked like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was a' much too thin.
He didn't come down the chimney
So momma must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like daddy
Or daddy looked a lot like him.
Santa looked a lot like daddy
And daddy looked a lot like him.
She's with him now
I'm with my loneliness.
She ran away
Four months ago
Left in his sleigh
For the north pole
Please come back home
And leave that fat man alone.
Santa, you bitch
Didn't get a damn thing
From my Christmas list
All I got was this broken heart
And that's it.
Santa, you bitch
Oh, there's only one thing that I truly wish
I wish my old girl
Would've never kissed Saint Nick
Would've never kissed Saint Nick.
I saw them dancing under mistletoe
Thought it was nothing
But I guess I didn't know
Guess I didn't know
That there was something going on with them
Santa, you player, I thought we were friends.
Please come back home
And leave that fat man alone.
Santa, you bitch
Didn't get a damn thing
From my Christmas list
All I got was this broken heart
And that's it.
Santa, you bitch
Oh, there's only one thing that I truly wish
I wish my old girl
Would've never kissed Saint Nick
Would've never kissed Saint Nick.
Santa, you bitch
Didn't get a damn thing
From my Christmas list
All I got was this broken heart
And that's it.
Santa, you bitch
Oh, there's only one thing that I truly wish
I wish my old girl
Would've never kissed.

And that's it.
Santa, you bitch
Oh, there's only one thing that I truly wish

Would've never kissed Saint Nick.
I wanna meet Santa Claus
The real real Santa
I wanna see Santa Claus
The real real Santa"
He wants to meet ol' Santa Claus.
I took my brother to the department store
He wanted to show Santa his Christmas list
He stood in line and he shook like a leaf
He's only five and a half goin' on six.
He said, "Is that really Santa Claus
Really really Santa Claus?
(That Santa)
(The real Santa)
Is that really Santa Claus
Really really Santa?
(That Santa)
(I hope he doesn't pull Santa's beard)
Is that really Santa Claus
Really really Santa?"
(That Santa)
(The real Santa)
Hope he thinks that's Santa Claus.
I picked him up and put him on Santa's lap
And then he pulled the pillow out of his shirt
He yanked the beard right off of his chin
And in his eyes I could see he was hurt.
He said, "You're not really Santa Claus
You're really not Santa Claus
(Not Santa)
(The real Santa)
You're not really Santa Claus
You're really not Santa
(Not Santa)
(He shouldn'ta pulled Santa's beard)

Cause we live way down south
And it didn't snow down here
But, I'm telling you not to worry
Cause I just got the word
Everybody listen closely
And I'll tell you what I heard.
Santa's comin' in a pickup
Instead of his trusty sleigh
He'll have a truck instead of reindeer
To carry him on his way
Cause the weatherman had some problems
He couldn't get snow you see
Santa's gonna come in a pickup truck
When he visits you and me.
Santa can't bring his reindeer
He'll leave them far away
But don't you worry 'bout him
He's gonna be here Christmas day
He's got a big red pickup
With four-wheel drive and all
And there's gonna be a Merry Christmas
A Merry Christmas for all.
Santa's gonna come in a pick up truck
When he visits you and me.
Not a sound heard anywhere
But the silence was broken
When these words were spoken
"Hey, get me outta here!"
Push!!
Tug!!
Pull!!
Shove!!
Santa's stuck up in the chimney
In the chimney
We gotta
Push!!
Tug!!
Pull!
Shove!!
There'll be no Christmas
Till we set him free.
That's when he started to diet
Through the summer
He stuck by it
But his appetite
Was fated to win
Because his wife started bakin'
And Christmas candy makin'
Now look at the shape he's in.
We gotta
Push!!
Tug!!
Pull!
Shove!!
Santa's stuck up in the chimney
In the chimney
We gotta
Push!!
Tug!!
Pull!
Shove!!
There'll be no Christmas
Till we set him free.
This's becomin' a disaster
If we don't free faster
Day will dawn
And children everywhere will weep
The house is full of neighbours tryin'
Down to havin' children cryin'
"Get him out of here
So I can get some sleep!"
We gotta
Push!!
Tug!!
Pull!
Shove!!
Santa's stuck up in the chimney
In the chimney
We gotta
Push!!
Tug!!
Pull!
Shove!!
Push!!
Tug!!
Pull!
Shove!!
There'll be no Christmas
Till we set him free.
Cos Santa's stuck up in the chimney!
Now we have walked in the chill of the night
We are waiting for, waiting for
For the Saviour's day.
Many have come from the valleys
Many have come from the hills
Many have started their journey home
To be with someone, with someone
On the Saviour's day.
Open your eyes on Saviour's day
Don't look back or turn away
Life can be yours if you'll only stay
He is calling you, calling you
On the Saviour's day.
Joining the old and the young ones
Joining the black and the white
Meeting the need of the hungry is he
We will ever remember him
On the Saviour's day.
Open your eyes on Saviour's day
Don't look back or turn away
Life can be yours if you'll only stay
He is calling you, calling you
On the Saviour's day.
Here's to the God of the present
Here's to the God of the past
Here's to the hope in the future he brings
We will sing to him, sing to him
On the Savior's day.
Open your eyes on Saviour's day
Don't look back or turn away
Life can be yours if you'll only stay
He is calling you, calling you
On the Saviour's day.
On the Saviour's day
On the Saviour's day
He is calling you
On the Saviour's day
On the Saviour's day.
Born for us on earth below,
See, the gentle Lamb appears,
Promised from eternal years.
Refrain:
Hail that ever blessed morn,
Hail redemption's happy dawn,
Sing through all Jerusalem:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem."
Lo, within a manger lies
He who built the starry skies;
He who, throned in height sublime,
Sits amid the cherubim.
Refrain:
Hail that ever blessed morn,
Hail redemption's happy dawn,
Sing through all Jerusalem:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem."
Say, you holy shepherds, say,
Tell your joyful news today
Why have you now left your sheep
On the lonely mountain steep?
Refrain:
Hail that ever blessed morn,
Hail redemption's happy dawn,
Sing through all Jerusalem:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem."
As we watched at dead of night,
Lo, we saw a wondrous light;
Angels singing "Peace on earth"
Told us of the Savior's birth.
Refrain:
Hail that ever blessed morn,
Hail redemption's happy dawn,
Sing through all Jerusalem:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem."
Sacred Infant, all divine,
What a tender love was Thine,
Thus to come from highest bliss
Down to such a world as this.
Refrain:
Hail that ever blessed morn,
Hail redemption's happy dawn,
Sing through all Jerusalem:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem."
Teach, O teach us, holy Child,
By Thy face so meek and mild,
Teach us to resemble Thee,
In Thy sweet humility.
Refrain:
Hail that ever blessed morn,
Hail redemption's happy dawn,
Sing through all Jerusalem:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem."
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and Child.
Holy Infant, so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born!
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.
Silent night, holy night
Wondrous star, lend thy light
With the angels let us sing
Alleluia to our King
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born!
German: Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht
Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht
Alles schläft; einsam wacht
Nur das traute hochheilige Paar
Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!
Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht
Hirten erst kundgemacht
Durch der Engel Halleluja
Tönt es laut von fern und nah
Christ, der Retter ist da!
Christ, der Retter ist da!
Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht
Gottes Sohn, o wie lacht
Lieb' aus deinem göttlichen Mund
Da uns schlägt die rettende Stund'
Christ, in deiner Geburt!
Christ, in deiner Geburt!
Ev'ryone wishes for silver and gold
How do you measure its worth?
Just by the pleasure it gives here on earth.
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Mean so much more when I see
Silver and gold decorations
On ev'ry Christmas tree.
Spoken
What's a Christmas tree without tinsel
And pretty silver and gold decorations?
Can't really call it a Christmas tree now
Can you?
And think of all the fun and joy
That would be lost on Christmas morning
If all the young folks didn't get to see
That sparkling happy tree.
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Mean so much more when I see
Silver and gold decorations
On ev'ry Christmas tree.
It may bring parties or thoughts devotional
Whatever happens or what may be
Here is what Christmas time means to me.
City sidewalk, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas.
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll hear:
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day.
City street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home
With their treasures.
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle you'll hear:
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day.
Noel sing we here
Sing our grateful praises
To the maid so dear.
Chorus:
Sing we Noel!
The King is born, Noel!
Sing we now of Christmas
Sing we here, Noel!
From the Eastern kingdoms
Come the wise men far
Bearing ancient treasure
Following yonder star.
Chorus:
Sing we Noel!
The King is born, Noel!
Sing we now of Christmas
Sing we here, Noel!
From the distant mountains
Hear the trumpet sound
With angelic blessings
On the silent town.
Chorus:
Sing we Noel!
The King is born, Noel!
Sing we now of Christmas
Sing we here, Noel!
Come let us surround him
On this magic night
Gather here around him
Wondrous Babe of light.

The King is born, Noel!
Sing we now of Christmas
Sing we here, Noel!

Was far from home and lost in a great big zoo
"Mummy, where's my mummy? They've taken her away"
"We'll help you find your mummy son, hop on the sleigh".
Up beside the bag of toys, little Joey hopped
But they hadn't gone far when Santa stopped
Unharnessed all the reindeer and Joey wondered why
Then he heard a far off booming in the sky.
Chorus:
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
On his Australian run.
Pretty soon old Santa began to feel the heat
Took his fur-lined boots off to cool his feet.
Into one popped Joey, feeling quite OK
While those old man kangaroos kept pulling on the sleigh.
Chorus:
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
On his Australian run.
Joey said to Santa, "Santa, what about the toys
Aren't you giving some to these girls and boys?"
"They've all got their presents son, we were here last night
This trip is an extra trip, Joey's special flight."
Chorus:
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
On his Australian run.
Soon the sleigh was flashing past, right over Marble Bar
"Slow down there," cried Santa, "It can't be far.
Come up on my lap son, and have a look around."
"There she is, that's mummy, bounding up and down."
Chorus:
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
On his Australian run.
Well that's the bestest Christmas treat that Joey ever had
Curled up in mother's pouch all snug and glad.
The last they saw was Santa headed northward from the sun
The only year the boomers worked a double run.
Chorus:
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
On his Australian run.
Wherever you are
Tomorrow is Christmas
Beneath every star.
Soon the snowflakes will fall
And tomorrow you'll see
Every wish, one and all
Waiting under the tree.
Sleep well, little children
Pleasant dreams through the night
Tomorrow is Christmas
All merry and bright.
Soon you'll hear the bells ring
Time for dreams to come true
As the world wakes to bring
Merry Christmas to you.
Ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "Yoo hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap
Let's go, let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap
It's grand, just holding your hand
We're gliding along with a song
Of a wintry fairy land.
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
There's a birthday party
At the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending for a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs
We love to sing, without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch
The chestnuts pop. Pop! pop! pop!
There's a happy feeling
Nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the chocolate
And the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print
By Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives.
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "Yoo hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap
Let's go let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap
It's grand, just holding your hand
We're gliding along with a song
Of a wintry fairy land.
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.
(Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree)
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
(Of all the trees most lovely)
The news had come out in the First World War
The bloody Red Baron was flying once more
The Allied command ignored all of its men
And called on Snoopy to do it again.
Twas the night before Christmas, 40 below
When Snoopy went up in search of his foe
He spied the Red Baron, fiercely they fought
With ice on his wings, Snoopy knew he was caught.
Christmas bells, those Christmas bells
Ring out from the land
Asking peace of all the world
And good will to man.
The Baron had Snoopy dead in his sights
He reached for the trigger to pull it up tight
Why he didn't shoot, well, we'll never know
Or was it the bells from the village below.
Christmas bells, those Christmas bells
Ringing through the land
Bringing peace to all the world
And good will to man.
The Baron made Snoopy fly to the Rhine
And forced him to land behind the enemy lines
Snoopy was certain that this was the end
When the Baron cried out, "Merry Christmas, my friend".
The Baron then offered a holiday toast
And Snoopy, our hero, saluted his host
And then with a roar they were both on their way
Each knowing they'd meet on some other day.
Christmas bells, those Christmas bells
Ringing through the land
Bringing peace to all the world
And good will to man.
Christmas bells, those Christmas bells
Ringing through the land
Bringing peace to all the world
And good will to man.
Let me thank you
For the joy you're giving me
I'm so happy
I have snowflakes of love
Smiling down on me.
Winter bliss
When we kiss
Every wish my lips could see
I'm so happy
I have snowflakes of love
Smiling down on me.
Snowy day
Would you please
Take me away?
Away with you
Hold me so closely
Like the moonlight lights the sky.
In my dreams
Soft winter breeze
Eases my mind
But when I wake
There's nothing but leaves
Still, I'm happy
I have snowflakes of love
Smiling down on me.
Oh, how I imagine
The day we met
And those tingles
From those little butterflies
Reminiscing
I get so happy
I just break down and cry.
Candlelight
Burning bright
Underneath a cool, starry night
You and me
Endlessly
It's the greatest gift
That love could give to me.
On this day
Snowy day
Let me thank you
For the joy you're giving me
I'm so happy
I have snowflakes of love
Smiling down on me.
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer?
Does he turn up on his sleigh
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?
Chorus:
So here it is, Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun.
Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you got room to spare inside?
Does your granny always tell you, that the old songs are the best?
Then she's up and rock 'n' rollin' with the rest.
Chorus:
So here it is, Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun.
What will your daddy do?
When he sees your Mama kissin' Santa Claus?
Ah ah!
Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall?
Do you ride on down the hillside in a buggy you have made?
When you land upon your head then you've been sleighed.
Chorus:
So here it is, Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun.
Chorus:
So here it is, Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun.
Chorus:
So here it is, Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun.
Chorus:
So here it is, Merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun.
And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun.
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young.
A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear.
And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong.
And so this is Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight.
A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear.
So this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun.
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young.
A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear.
War is over!
If you want it
War is over!
Now!
One warm December, our hearts will see
A world where men are free.
Someday at Christmas, there'll be no wars
When we have learned what Christmas is for;
When we have found what life's really worth
There'll be peace on earth.
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free;
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime.
Someday at Christmas, we'll see a man
No hungry children, no empty hand;
One happy morning people will share
Our world, where people care.
Someday at Christmas, there'll be no tears
All men are equal and no men have fears;
One shinning moment my heart ran away
From our world today.
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmas, man will not fail
Take hope, because your love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart.
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmastime.
Guiding us on to Heaven afar!
Sorrow and grief and lulled by thy light,
Thou hope of each mortal, in death's lonely night!
Fearless and tranquil, we look up to Thee!
Knowing thou beamst thro' eternity!
Help us to follow where Thou still dost guide,
Pilgrims of earth so wide.
Star of the East, thou hope of the soul,
While round us here the dark billows roll,
Lead us from sin to glory afar,
Thou star of the East, thou sweet Bethlehem's star.
Star of the East, undimmed by each cloud,
What tho' the storms of grief gather loud?
Faithful and pure thy rays beam to save,
Still bright o'er the cradle, and bright o'er the grave!
Smiles of a Saviour are mirror'd in Thee!
Glimpses of Heav'n in thy light we see!
Guide us still onward to that blessed shore,
After earth's toil is o'er!
Star of the East, thou hope of the soul,
While round us here the dark billows roll,
Lead us from sin to glory afar,
Thou star of the East, thou sweet Bethlehem's star.
Oh star that leads to God above!
Whose rays are peace and joy and love!
Watch o'er us still till life hath ceased,
Beam on, bright star, sweet Bethlehem star!
So I'm sending you this Christmas card
To say it's nice to have you here
I'd like to sing about all the things
Your eyes and mind can see
So hop aboard the turntable
Oh, step into Christmas with me.
Step into Christmas
Let's join together
We can watch the snow fall
Forever and ever
Eat, drink and be merry
Come along with me
Step into Christmas
The admission's free.
Take care in all you do next year
And keep smiling through the days
If we can help to entertain you
Oh, we will find the ways
So merry Christmas one and all
There's no place I'd rather be
Than asking you if you'd oblige
Stepping into Christmas with me.
One can hear the falling snow
For all is hushed
The world is sleeping
Holy Star, its vigil keeping
Still, still, still
One can hear the falling snow.
Sleep, sleep, sleep
'Tis the eve of our Saviour's birth
The night is peaceful all around you
Close your eyes
Let sleep surround you
Sleep, sleep, sleep
'Tis the eve of our Saviour's birth.
Dream, dream, dream
Of the joyous day to come
While guardian angels without number
Watch you as you sweetly slumber
Dream, dream, dream
Of the joyous day to come.
But it's very cold out here in the snow
Marching to win from the enemy.
Oh, I say it's tough
I have had enough
Can you stop the cavalry?
I have had to fight
Almost every night
Down throughout these centuries
That is when I say
Oh yes, yet again
Can you stop the cavalry?
Mary Bradley waits at home
In the nuclear fall-out zone
Wish I could be dancing now
In the arms of the girl I love.
Chorus:
Dub a dub a dum dum
Dub a dub a dum
Dub a dum dum dub a dub
Dub a dub a dum
Dub a dub a dum dum
Dub a dub a dum
Dub a dum dum dub a dub
Dub a dub a dum
Wish I was at home for Christmas.
Bang! That's another bomb
On another town
While the Czar and Jim have tea
If I get home alive to tell the tale
I'll run for all presidencies
If I get elected I'll stop
I will stop the cavalry.
Chorus:
Dub a dub a dum dum
Dub a dub a dum
Dub a dum dum dub a dub
Dub a dub a dum
Dub a dub a dum dum
Dub a dub a dum
Dub a dum dum dub a dub
Dub a dub a dum
Wish I was at home for Christmas.
Wish I could be dancing now
In the arms of the girl I love
Mary Bradley waits at home
She has been waiting two years long
Wish I was at home for Christmas.
Cause never in a million lives
Would he have dreamed of Bethlehem.
And standing at the manger
He saw with his own eyes
The message from the angel come to life
And Joseph said:
"Why me, I'm just a simple man of trade?
Why Him with all the rulers in the world?
Why here, inside this stable filled with hay?
Why her, she's just an ordinary girl?
Now I'm not one to second guess
What angels have to say
But this is such a strange way
To save the world."
To think of how it could have been
If Jesus had come as He deserved
There would have been no Bethlehem
No lowly shepherds at His birth.
But Joseph knew the reason
Love had to reach so far
And as he held the Savior in his arms
He must have thought:
"Why me, I'm just a simple man of trade?
Why Him with all the rulers in the world?
Why here, inside this stable filled with hay?
Why her, she’s just an ordinary girl?
Now I'm not one to second guess
What angels have to say
But this is such a strange way
To save the world."
Such a strange way, this is
Such a strange way
A strange way to save the world
A strange way to save the world.
Dressed in a snow white gown;
Tap, tap, tappin' at your window pane
To tell you she's in town.
Here comes Suzy Snowflake
Soon you will hear her say;
"Come out ev'ryone and play with me
I haven't long to stay."
"If you want to make a snowman
I'll help you make one, two, three;
If you wanna take a sleigh ride
The ride's on me."
Here comes Suzy Snowflake
Look at her tumblin' down;
Bringing joy to every girl and boy
Suzy's come to town.
Sweet little Jesus Boy
They made you be born in a manger
Sweet little Holy Child
Didn't know who You was?
Didn't know you come to save us, Lord?
To take our sins away
Our eyes was blind, we couldn't see
We didn't know who You was.
Long time ago, you was born
Born in a manger low
Sweet little Jesus Boy.
The world treat You mean, Lord
Treat me mean, too
But that's how things is down here
We didn't know t'was You.
You done showed us how
We is trying
Master, You done showed us how
Even when you's dying.
Just seem like we can't do right
Look how we treated You.
But please, sir, forgive us Lord
We didn't know 'twas You.
Sweet little Jesus Boy
Born long time ago
Sweet little Holy Child
And we didn't know who You was.
Can't you hear the prayers
Of every childlike heart tonight?
Rockies are callin', Denver snow fallin'
Somebody said it's four feet deep
But it doesn't matter
Give me the laughter
I'm gonna choose to keep:
Another tender Tennessee Christmas
The only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us
Like the gifts around our tree
Well, I know there's more snow
Up in Colorado
Than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me.
Every now and then I get a wanderin' urge to see
Maybe California, maybe Tinsel Town's for me
There's a parade there, we'd have it made there
Bring home a tan for new year's eve
Sure sounds exciting, awfully inviting
Still I think I'm gonna keep:
Another tender Tennessee Christmas
The only Christmas for me
Where the love circles around us
Like the gifts around our tree
Well they say in L.A. it's a warm holiday
It's the only place to be
A tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me.
Well, I know there's more snow
Up in Colorado
Than my roof will ever see
But a tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me
A tender Tennessee Christmas
Is the only Christmas for me.
Oh my friends, it's been a long hard year
But now, it's Christmas
Yes, it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas!
The moon and stars seem awful cold and bright
Let's hope the snow will make this Christmas right
My friend, the world will share this special night
Because it's Christmas
Yes, it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
For one night.
Thank God it's Christmas
Yeah!
Thank God it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
Can it be Christmas?
Let it be Christmas
Every day.
Oh my love, we've lived in troubled days
Oh my friend, we have the strangest ways
All my friends, on this one day of days
Thank God it's Christmas
Yes, it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
For one day.
Thank God it's Christmas
Yes, it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
Oooh yeah!
Thank God it's Christmas
Yes, yes, yes, yes it's Christmas
Thank God it's Christmas
For one day.
A very merry Christmas to you all!
Down the stairs
The children run.
Someone has eaten the cookies
And look what's left under the tree
There's presents for you and for me
As far as the eye can see.
What's on the rooftop?
I wondered what that was
Its reindeer flying
Around the world
Because Santa's coming
I think we all should pause to say
That we're grateful
For everything he does!
Thank you Santa Claus
Thank you Santa Claus.
A song for all the things you do
Santa Claus we're thankin' you
A song for all the things you do
Santa Claus we're thankin' you
A song for all the things you do
(Joy to the world)
Santa Claus we're thankin' you
(Reindeer flyin')
A song for all the things you do
(Joy to the world)
Santa Claus we're thankin' you
(Reindeer flyin')
Thank you Santa Claus!
Sharing so much joy and cheer
What a wonderful feelin'
Watching the ones we love
Having so much fun.
I was sittin' by the fire side
Taking a walk through the snow
Listening to a children's choir
Singing songs about Jesus
The blessed way that He came to us
Why can't it remain
All through the year?
Each day the same
That's what I wanna hear
He he
It's truly amazin'
That spirit of Christmas.
All the kin folk gather round
The lovely Christmas tree
Hearts are glowing full of joy
Sense the gifts that we're giving
And the love that we're living
Why can't it remain?
Why can't it remain?
Oh all through the year
Each day the same
Each day the same
That's what I wanna hear
I'll tell ya
It's truly amazin'
That spirit of Christmas.
Let me hear ya
Why can't it remain?
Why can't it remain?
All through the year
All through the year
Each day the same
Each day the same
That's what I wanna hear
Listen to me
It's truly amazin'
That spirit of Christmas
Oh, it's truly amazin'
That spirit of Christmas
Ain't it so?
It's truly amazin'
Yeah, that spirit of Christmas
Oh Christmas
Oh Christmas!
Here's a toast to us together
Let me wrap you in this bow
I'm in the Christmas spirit
No, this one won't be blue
It's gonna be the best one ever
And it's all because of you, baby.
You're the angel at the top of my tree
The best present anybody ever gave to me
I've got it decorated, all lit up, gifts underneath
You're the angel at the top of my tree.
Let's put on that old movie
'It's a Wonderful Night'
'Cause curled up by the fire
It sure rings true tonight
Let's make a little candy
Then a little later on
We'll make a little love
To that old Bing Crosby song, baby.
You're the angel at the top of my tree
The best present anybody ever gave to me
I've got it decorated, all lit up, gifts underneath
You're the angel at the top of my tree.
You're the angel at the top of my tree
The best present anybody ever gave to me
I've got it decorated, all lit up, gifts underneath
You're the angel at the top of my tree.
Baby, you're the angel!
The angel Gabriel from heaven came
With wings as drifted snow, with eyes as flame
"All hail to thee, O lowly maiden Mary
Most highly favored lady." Gloria!
"For know a blessed mother thou shalt be
All generations laud and honor thee
Thy son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold
Most highly favored lady." Gloria!
Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head
"To me be as it pleaseth God," she said
"My soul shall laud and magnify God's holy name."
"Most highly favored lady." Gloria!
Of her, Emmanuel, the Christ, was born
In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn
And Christian folk through-out the world will ever say
"Most highly favored lady." Gloria!
Not being sure of what it mean
But knowing it was heaven sent
They made their way.
And the creatures gathered 'round
And didn't make a sound
And the angels cried.
The angels knew what was to come
The reason God had sent His son
From up above
It filled their hearts with joy to see
And knowing of His destiny
Came tears of love.
And the creatures gathered 'round
And didn't make a sound
And the angels cried.
I've often thought about that night
And wondered if they realized
That star so bright
Was sent to tell all the land
The Son of God would soon become
The Son of man.
And the creatures gathered 'round
And didn't make a sound
And the angels cried.
And the angels cried
And the angels cried.
The happy crowds are mingling
But there's no one that I know.
I'm sure that you'll forgive me
If I don't enthuse
I guess I've got the Christmas blues.
I've done my window shopping
There's not a store I've missed
But what's the use of stopping
When there's no one on your list?
You'll know the way I'm feeling
When you love and you lose
I guess I've got the Christmas blues.
When somebody wants you
Somebody needs you
Christmas is a joy of joy;
But friends, when you're lonely
You'll find, that it's only
A thing for little girls and little boys.
May all your days be merry
Your seasons full of cheer
But 'till it's January
I'll just go and disappear
Oh, Santa may have brought you
Some stars for your shoes
But Santa only brought me the blues
Those brightly packaged Tinsel covered Christmas blues.
Oh, Santa may have brought you
Some stars for your shoes
But Santa only brought me the blues
Those brightly packaged Tinsel covered Christmas blues.
And they found his shop so meager and mean
Made gay with a thousand boughs of green.
And Conrad was sitting with face a-shine
When he suddenly stopped as he stitched a twine
And he said, "Old friends, at dawn today
When the cock was crowing the night away
The Lord appeared in a dream to me
And said, 'I am coming your guest to be.'
"So I've been busy with feet astir
Strewing my shop with branches of fir
The table is spread and the kettle is shined
And over the rafters the holly is twined."
"And now I will wait for my Lord to appear
And listen closely so I will hear
His step as He nears my humble place
And I open the door and look on His face."
So his friends went home and left Conrad alone
For this was the happiest day he had known
For, long since, his family had passed away
And Conrad had spent many a sad Christmas day.
But he knew with the Lord as his Christmas guest
This Christmas would be the dearest and best
So he listened with only joy in his heart
And with every sound he would rise with a start
And look for the Lord to be at his door
Like the vision he had a few hours before.
So, he ran to the window after hearing a sound
But all that he could see on the snow-covered ground
Was a shabby beggar whose shoes were torn
And all of his clothes were ragged and worn.
But Conrad was touched and went to the door
And he said, "Your feet must be frozen and sore
I have some shoes in my shop for you
And a coat that will keep you warmer, too."
So with grateful heart the man went away
But Conrad noticed the time of day
He wondered what made the Lord so late
And how much longer he'd have to wait.
When he heard a knock and ran to the door
But it was only a stranger once more
A bent, old lady with a shawl of black
With a bundle of kindling piled on her back.
She asked for only a place to rest
But that was reserved for Conrad's Great Guest
But her voice seemed to plead, "Don't send me away
Let me rest for awhile on Christmas day."
So Conrad brewed her a steaming cup
And told her to sit at the table and sup
But after she left he was filled with dismay
For he saw that the hours were slipping away
And the Lord had not come as He said He would
And Conrad felt sure he had misunderstood.
When out of the stillness he heard a cry
"Please help me and tell me where am I."
So again he opened his friendly door
And stood disappointed as twice before
It was only a child who had wandered away
And was lost from her family on Christmas Day.
Again Conrad's heart was heavy and sad
But he knew he should make the little girl glad
So he called her in and wiped her tears
And quieted all her childish fears.
Then he led her back to her home once more
But as he entered his own darkened door
He knew that the Lord was not coming today
For the hours of Christmas had passed away.
So he went to his room and knelt down to pray
And he said, "Dear Lord, why did you delay
What kept You from coming to call on me?
For I wanted so much Your face to see."
When soft in the silence a voice he heard
"Lift up your head for I kept My word
Three times My shadow crossed your floor
Three times I came to your lowly door.
For I was the beggar with bruised, cold feet
I was the woman you gave something to eat
And I was the child on the homeless street.
Three times I knocked and three times I came in
And each time I found the warmth of a friend
Of all the gifts, love is the best
I was honored to be your Christmas Guest."
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way
He's bringing lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you.
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you.
With no one to miss us
On our own
Out in the cold.
Trudging onward
Braving a harsh winter storm
You and I met passing by
And now our spirits feel warm.
I don't have anyone at home to talk to
And you don't have anything to do
So I'll spend my Christmas with you
I'll spend my Christmas with you
I'll spend my Christmas with you.
It's Christmas and we are in love
With the way that the soft snowflakes kiss us
From far above
The blustery breeze
Trudging onward
Braving a harsh winter storm
You and I met passing by
And now our spirits feel warm.
I believe that Jesus is truly the only way
I celebrate Christmas because it's His birthday.
I don't have anyone at home to talk to
And you don't have anything to do
So, I'll spend my Christmas with you
I'll spend my Christmas with you
I'll spend my Christmas with you
I'll spend my Christmas with you.
Was humbly born in a stable rude
And the friendly beasts around Him stood
Jesus, our Brother, strong and good.
"I," said the donkey, shaggy and brown
"I carried His mother uphill and down
I carried His mother to Bethlehem town
I" said the donkey, shaggy and brown.
"I," said the cow, all white and red
"I gave Him my manger for His bed
I gave Him hay to pillow His head
I," said the cow, all white and red.
"I," said the sheep with curly horn
"I gave Him my wool for His blanket warm
He wore my coat on Christmas morn
I," said the sheep with curly horn.
"I," said the dove, from the rafters high
"I cooed Him to sleep that He should not cry
We cooed Him to sleep, my mate and I
I," said the dove, from the rafters high.
Thus all the beasts, by some good spell
In the stable dark were glad to tell
Of the gifts they gave Emmanuel
The gifts they gave Emmanuel.
She stopped for to rest by the road side
Where a bird with a broken wing lay.
A few moments passed till she saw it
For it's feathers were covered with sand
And soon clean and wrapped it was traveling
In the warmth of Maria's small hand.
She happily gave her last peso
On a cage made of freshes and twine
She fed it loose corn from the market
Watched it grow stronger with time.
Now the gift giving service was coming
And the church armed with tinsel and light
And all of the town folk brought presents
To lay by the manger that night.
There were diamonds, incense and perfumes
And packages fit for a king
But for one ragged bird in his small cage
Maria had nothing to bring.
She waited till just before midnight
So no one would see her go in
And crying she knelt by the manger
For her gift was unworthy of him.
Then a voice spoke to her through the darkness
"Maria, what brings you to me?
If the bird in the cage is your offering
Open the door, let me see."
So she trembled, she did as He asked her
And out of the cage the bird flew
Soaring up into the rafters
On a wing that had healed good as new.
And just then the midnight bells rang out
And the little bird started to sing
A song that no words could recapture
For its beauty was fit for a king.
Now Maria felt blessed just to listen
To the cascade of notes sweet and long
As her offering was lifted to heaven
By the very first nightingale's song.
You and I are waiting
For Santa Claus to come.
There's a present by the tree
Stockings on the wall
Knowing you're in love with me
Is the greatest gift of all.
The fire is slowly fading
Chill is in the air
All the gifts are waiting
For children everywhere.
Through the window I can see
Snow begin to fall
Knowing you're in love with me
Is the greatest gift of all.
Just before I go to sleep
I hear a church bell ring
Merry Christmas everyone
Is the song it sings.
So, I say a silent prayer
For creatures great and small
Peace on earth, goodwill to men
Is the greatest gift of all.
Peace on earth, goodwill to men
Is the greatest gift of all.
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown.
O, the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir.
The holly bears a blossom
As white as lily flower
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet Saviour.
O, the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir.
The holly bears a berry
As red as any blood
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To do poor sinners good.
O, the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir.
The holly bears a prickle
As sharp as any thorn
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
On Christmas Day in the morn.
O, the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir.
The holly bears a bark
As bitter as any gall
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
For to redeem us all.
O, the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir.
The holly and the ivy
Now both are full well grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown.
O, the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir.
And goodness knows
He didn't want a lot.
He sent a note to Santa
For some soldiers and a drum
It broke his little heart
When he found Santa hadn't come.
In the street, he envies all those lucky boys
Then wanders home to last year's broken toys
I'm so sorry for that laddie
He hasn't got a daddy
The little boy that Santa Claus forgot.
Spoken:
You know, Christmas comes but once a year for every girl and boy
The laughter and the joy they find in each brand new toy
I'll tell you of a little boy that lives across the way
This little fella's Christmas is just another day
He's the little boy that Santa Claus forgot
And goodness knows, he didn't want a lot.
In the street he envies all those lucky boys
Then wanders home to last year's broken toys
I'm so sorry for that laddie
He hasn't got a daddy
The little boy that Santa Claus forgot.
Who I am, who I am
If anybody asks you who I am
Tell him I'm a child of God
Glory, the Christ child born in glory.
The little cradle rocks tonight in glory
Rocks in glory, rocks in glory
The little cradle rocks tonight in glory
The Christ child born in glory.
Peace on earth, Mary rock the cradle
Rock the cradle, rock the cradle
Peace on earth, Mary rock the cradle
The Christ child born of glory.
The Christ child passing, singing softly
Singing softly, singing softly
The Christ child passing, singing softly
The Christ child born in glory.
All about an angel only four years old
The littlest angel of all.
How all day he would play with a little box
That to others had no worth
Oh, but there were treasures in this little box
The treasures he brought from Earth.
Just a butterfly with golden wings
A little piece of a hollow log
Two shiny stones from a river bank
And the worn out strap of his faithful dog.
Then the angels all heard that the Holy Child
Would be born in Bethlehem
And they all brought presents
For the Holy child
And each gift was a heavenly gem.
Then the littlest angel put his little box
With the presents fine and rare
And the littlest angel sat alone and cried
For his gift was so meager and bad.
Just a butterfly with golden wings
A little piece of a hollow log
Two shiny stones from a river bank
And the worn out strap of his faithful dog.
But the Lord chose the gift of the little box
That the child had blessed with love
And it started glowing that very night
It became the star up above.
When you see that star as it shines on high
In the great celestial hall
You will know the proudest angel in the sky
Is the littlest angel of all.
With his butterfly with golden wings
A little piece of a hollow log
Two shiny stones from a river bank
And the worn out strap of his faithful dog.
And be thankful for all that we have
All the lights and decorations
Put up in the anticipation
Of the joyful celebration
That's on its way
We're counting the days
'Til it's time for Christmas day.
Oh, and God bless us everyone
The good and the bad
The happy, the sad
Oh, and God bless us everyone
Here's to family and friends
It's good to be here again.
On the streets there're children laughing
People smile as they are passing
Christmas time is here, our waiting is done
Wishing it could last forever
Not just twelve days in December.
Through the year let's try to remember
That special way
That everyone feels
It's the magic of Christmas day.
Oh, and God bless us everyone
The good and the bad
The happy; the sad
Oh, and God bless us everyone
Here's to family and friends
It's good to be here again.
So fill your heart with love and joy
And through the eyes of girls and boys
Share their wonder, live through their joy
It's easy to do, just open your heart
The spirit will come to you.
Oh, and God bless us everyone
The good and the bad
The happy; the sad
Oh, and God bless us everyone
Here's to family and friends
It's good to be here again.
And he saw through the window a sight
A big man in a chair
And little tiny men everywhere
He's the man with all the toys.
How thrilled that someone must have been
And he must have been tempted to go in
He stayed out in the cold
And when he left them he told
About the man with all the toys.
He's the man with all the toys.
The man with all the toys.
He's the man with all the toys.
For millions of girls and for millions of boys
When Christmas Day is here
The most wonderful day of the year!
A jack in the box waits for children to shout,
"Wake up, don't you know that it's time to come out!"
When Christmas Day is here
The most wonderful day of the year!
Toys galore
Scattered on the floor
There's no room for more
And it's all because of Santa Claus!
A scooter for Jimmy, a dolly for Sue
The kind that will even say "How do you do?"
When Christmas Day is here
The most wonderful day of the year.
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads
And mama in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter
Away to the window I flew like a flash
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the luster of mid-day to objects below
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer.
With a little old driver, so lively and quick
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name.
"Now! Dasher, now! Dancer, now! Prancer, and Vixen!
On! Comet, on! Cupid, on! Dunder and Blixem!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all".
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes, how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath
He had a broad face and a little round belly
That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk
And laying his finger aside of his nose
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"
When the boss busted in, nearly scared 'em half to death
Had a rifle in his hands and cheap whiskey on his breath
From his beard to his boots he was covered with ammo
Like a big fat drunk disgruntled Yuletide Rambo
And he smiled as he said with a twinkle in his eye
"Merry Christmas to all - now you're all gonna die!"
The night Santa went crazy
The night Saint Nick went insane
Realized he'd been getting a raw deal
Somethin' finally must've snapped in his brain.
Well, the workshop is gone now, he decided to bomb it
Everywhere you'll find pieces of Cupid and Comet
And he tied up his helpers, and he held the elves hostage
And he ground up poor Rudolph into reindeer sausage
He got Dancer and Prancer with an old German Luger
And he slashed up Dasher just like Freddy Krueger
And he picked up a flamethrower and he barbecued Blitzen
And he took a big bite and said "It tastes just like chicken!"
The night Santa went crazy
The night Kris Kringle went nuts
Now, ya can't hardly walk around the North Pole
Without steppin' in reindeer guts.
There's the National Guard and the FBI
There's a van from the Eyewitness News
And helicopters circlin' 'round in the sky
And the bullets are flying, the body counts rising
And everyone's dying to know -"Oh Santa, why?
My, my, my, my, my, my - you used to be such a jolly guy".
Yes Virginia, now Santa's doing time
In a Federal prison for his infamous crime
Hey little friend now, don't you cry no more tears
He'll be out on good behavior in seven hundred more years.
But now Vixen's in therapy and Donner's still nervous
And the elves all got jobs working for the postal service
And they say Mrs. Claus, she's on the phone every night
With a lawyer negotiating the movie rights.
They talk about
The night Santa went crazy
The night Saint Nicholas flipped
Broke his back for some milk and cookies
Sounds to me like he was tired of getting gypped.
Woah, the night Santa went crazy
The night Saint Nick went insane
Realized he'd been gettin' the wrong deal
Somethin' finally must've snapped in his brain
Woah, somethin' finally must've snapped in his brain
Tell ya, somethin' finally must've snapped
In his brain.
And the merchants' windows are all bright
With the faces of the children
And the families hurrying to their homes
While the sky darkens and freezes
Will be gathering around the hearths and tables
Giving thanks for God's graces
And the birth of the rebel Jesus.
Well, they call him by 'the Prince of Peace'
And they call him by 'the Savior'
And they pray to him upon the seas
And in every bold endeavor
And they fill his churches with their pride and gold
As their faith in him increases
But they've turned the nature that I worship in
From a temple to a robber's den
In the words of the rebel Jesus.
Well, we guard our world with locks and guns
And we guard our fine possessions
And once a year when Christmas comes
We give to our relations
And perhaps we give a little to the poor
If the generosity should seize us
But if any one of us should interfere
In the business of why there are poor
They get the same as the rebel Jesus.
Now pardon me if I have seemed
To take the tone of judgment
For I've no wish to come between
This day and your enjoyment
In a life of hardship and of earthly toil
There's a need for anything that frees us
So I bid you pleasure
And I bid you cheer
From a heathen and a pagan
On the side of the rebel Jesus.
It was the joy of one
To see her blessed Jesus
When he was first her Son
When he was first her Son.
Chorus:
When he was her first Son, Good Lord
And happy may we be
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
To all eternity.
The next good joy that Mary had
It was the joy of two
To see her own son Jesus
To make the lame to go
To make the lame to go.
Chorus:
When he was her first Son, Good Lord
And happy may we be
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
To all eternity.
The next good joy that Mary had
It was the joy of three
To see her own son Jesus
To make the blind to see
To make the blind to see.
Chorus:
When he was her first Son, Good Lord
And happy may we be
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
To all eternity.
The next good joy that Mary had
It was the joy of four
To see her own son Jesus
To read the Bible over
To read the Bible over.
Chorus:
When he was her first Son, Good Lord
And happy may we be
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
To all eternity.
The next good joy that Mary had
It was the joy of five
To see her own son Jesus
To bring the dead alive
To bring the dead alive.
Chorus:
When he was her first Son, Good Lord
And happy may we be
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
To all eternity.
The next good joy that Mary had
It was the joy of six
To see her own son Jesus
Upon the crucifix
Upon the crucifix.
Chorus:
When he was her first Son, Good Lord
And happy may we be
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
To all eternity.
The next good joy that Mary had
It was the joy of seven
To see her own son Jesus
To wear the crown of Heaven
To wear the crown of Heaven
Chorus:
When he was her first Son, Good Lord
And happy may we be
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
To all eternity.
The stars shone bright
When Christ our Lord was born
On Christmas night.
Venite adoremus Dominum
Venite adoremus Dominum.
Chorus:
Venite adoremus Dominum
Venite adoremus Dominum
Venite adoremus Dominum
Venite adoremus Dominum
'Twas Mary, daughter pure
Of holy Anne
That brought into this world
The God made man
She laid Him in a stall
At Bethlehem
The ass and oxen shared
The roof with them.
Chorus:
Venite adoremus Dominum
Venite adoremus Dominum
Venite adoremus Dominum
Venite adoremus Dominum
Saint Joseph, too, was by
To tend the Child
To guard him, and protect
His mother mild
The angels hovered round
And sung this song
Venite adoremus Dominum.
Chorus:
Venite adoremus Dominum
Venite adoremus Dominum
Venite adoremus Dominum
Venite adoremus Dominum
And thus that manger poor
Became a throne
For He Whom Mary bore
Was God the Son
O come, then, let us join
The heav'nly host
To praise the Father, Son
And Holy Ghost.
Chorus:
Venite adoremus Dominum
Venite adoremus Dominum
Venite adoremus Dominum
Venite adoremus Dominum

Looked up and saw a starry light
More radiant than the Milky Way
And on their hearts such wonder fell
They sang with joy:
"Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel!"
The air was dry with summer heat
And smoke was on the yellow moon
But from the heavens, faint and sweet
Came floating down a wondrous turn
And as they heard, they sang full well
Those drovers three:
"Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel!"
The black swans flew across the sky
The wild dog called across the plain
The starry lustre blazed on high
Still echoed on the heavenly strain
And still they sang, "Noel! Noel!"
Those drovers three:
"Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel!"

There's a star in the sky
There's a mother's deep prayer
And a baby's low cry
And the star rains its fire
While the beautiful sing
For the manger of Bethlehem
Cradles a King.
There's a tumult of joy
O'er the wonderful birth
For the virgin's sweet Boy
Is the Lord of the earth;
Ay! the star rains its fire
While the beautiful sing
For the manger of Bethlehem
Cradles a King.
In the light of that star
Lie the ages impearled
And that song from afar
Has swept over the world;
Every hearth is aflame
And the beautiful sing
In the homes of the nations
That Jesus is King.
We rejoice in the light
And we echo the song
That comes down through the night
From the heavenly throng;
Ay! we shout
To the lovely evangel they bring
And we greet in His cradle
Our Savior and King.
We're following the star
Shining brighter
Old man, won't you help us
If you can?
He shook his head
But he pointed his hand
There's a new kid in town
And he's lying in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But he's just another baby
I suppose Heaven knows
There's a new kid in town
Here in Bethlehem.
I see you've traveled far
Bearing treasures
You say these gifts
Are for the new Kings pleasures
Well, I've heard
That a King might come
But up 'til now there hasn't been one.
There's a new kid in town
And he's lying in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But he's just another baby
I suppose Heaven knows
There's a new kid in town
Here in Bethlehem.
There's a new kid in town
And he's lying in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But he's just another baby
I suppose Heaven knows
There's a new kid in town
Here in Bethlehem.
Home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine
Of a friendly face
For the holidays, you can't beat
Home, sweet home.
I met a man who lives in Tennessee
And he was headin' for Pennsylvania
And some home made pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks a travelin' down
To Dixie's sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee
The traffic is terrific.
Oh there's no place like home
For the holidays, 'cause no matter
How far away you roam
If you want to be happy in a million ways
For the holidays, you can't beat
Home, sweet home.
He rocked and He napped on His mother's lap
And He wiggled and giggled and cooed.
There were the cheers when He took His first step
And the tears when He got His first teeth;
Almost everything about this little Baby
Seemed as natural as it could be.
But this Baby made the angels sing
And this Baby made a new star shine in the sky
This Baby had come to change the world
This Baby was God's own Son
This Baby was like no other one
This Baby was God with us
This Baby was Jesus.
And this Baby grew into a young Boy
Who learned to read and write and wrestle with dad;
There was the climbin' of trees and the scrapin' of knees
And all the fun that a boy's born to have.
He grew taller and some things started changing
Like His complexion and the sound of His voice;
There was work to be done as a carpenter's son
And all the neighbors said He's such a fine boy.
But this Boy made the angels sing
And this Boy made a new star shine in the sky
This Boy had come to change the world
This Boy was God's own Son
This Boy was like no other one
This Boy was God with us
This Boy became a man.
And love made Him laugh and death made Him cry
With the life that He lived and the death that He died
He showed us heaven with His hands and His heart
'Cause this man was God's own son.
This Man was like no other one
Holy and human right from the start.
But this Baby made the angels sing
And this Baby made a new star shine in the sky
This Baby had come to change the world
This Baby was God's own Son
This Baby was like no other one
This Baby was God with us
This Baby was Jesus.
This baby was God with us
This baby, this baby was Jesus
This baby was Jesus
This Baby was Jesus.
Is a beautiful place where the sun comes out
And it shines in the sky for me.
On this beautiful Christmas morning
If my wish could come true somehow
Then the beautiful day that I dream about
Would be here and now.
On this beautiful Christmas morning
If my wish could come true somehow
Then the beautiful day that I dream about
Would be here and now.
This Christmas.
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together
This Christmas.
Fireside blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me.
Presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer and you
This Christmas.
And as I look around
Your eyes outshine the town, they do
This Christmas.
Fireside blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me.
Shake a hand, shake a hand now.
Fireside blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me.
Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better
This Christmas.
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together
This Christmas.
Fireside blazing bright
We're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me.
Merry Christmas
Shake a hand, shake a hand now
Wish your brother Merry Christmas"
All over the land.
And we're all alone, there's no one home
You're finally in my arms again.
The night is silent, the moment is here
I couldn't ask for more, than having you near
'Cause I love you, girl, and I always will
And now I know the moment is right
The moment is right.
Chorus:
'Cause I've been waiting to give this gift tonight
I'm down on my knees, there's no better time
It's something to last for as long as you live
Tonight, I'm gonna give you
All my heart can give.
I thought I'd give you something shiny and new
I tried to find something worthy of you
But I realized when I looked inside
There's some things that money can't buy
Oh, no.
I feel the magic whenever you're near
I feel it even on this time of the year
'Cause I love you, girl, I always will
And now I know the moment is right
The moment is right.
Chorus:
'Cause I've been waiting to give this gift tonight
I'm down on my knees, there's no better time
It's something to last for as long as you live
Tonight, I'm gonna give you
All my heart can give.
You know I'll always be true to you
And you know I'm the one you can turn to
Oh, yeah
Anytime, anyplace, or anywhere
You know that I'll always be there
Oh, baby.
Chorus:
'Cause I've been waiting to give this gift tonight
I'm down on my knees, there's no better time
It's something to last for as long as you live
Tonight, I'm gonna give you
All my heart can give.
Chorus:
'Cause I've been waiting to give this gift tonight
I'm down on my knees, there's no better time
It's something to last for as long as you live
Tonight, I'm gonna give you
All my heart can give.
There's hope for all in this world
Cause this is Christmas day
Say a little prayer for the world.
God, teach us love
Though you think
He doesn't hear
I know He does.
This is Christmas
Let the world sing
Let a soul began to heal
Hallelujah
This is Christmas
And with love
We can began today.
Christmas bells ring
People's heart sing
And I forget
About all the troubles
I seem to have
I tell myself to feel
How my brother feels
Try to love'em
Then maybe I could understand.
Make a little room in our hearts
No heart's too small
Can love each other today
Cause after all:
This is Christmas
Let the world sing
Let a soul began to heal
Hallelujah
This is Christmas
And with love
We can began today.
Come come come
See the Little One
Come come come
See the Little One
Come, see the Baby
Come, see the Baby.
This is Christmas
Let the world sing
Let a soul began to heal
Hallelujah
This is Christmas
And with love
We can began today.
This is Christmas
Let the world sing
Let a soul began to heal
Hallelujah
This is Christmas
And with love
We can began today.
Could there be something you forgot?
Beyond the bows, and mistletoe
The tree with presents wrapped below
There's more to this than you had ever thought
Have we lost the reason that we celebrate each year?
What is Christmas
If there never was a Savior wrapped in a manger?
What is Christmas without Christ?
Remember how the story goes
God's gift was wrapped in swaddling clothes
Beneath the star, one great and holy night
The shepherds heard the angels sing
The wise man brought an offering
Peace on Earth began in Bethlehem
Have we lost the reason that we celebrate each year?
What is Christmas
If there never was a Savior wrapped in a manger?
What is Christmas
If the angels never sang "Glory to the new born king?"
What is Christmas without Christ?
There'd be no gloria
In excelsis deo
Gloria
In excelsis deo.
What is Christmas
If there never was a Savior wrapped in a manger?
What is Christmas without Christ?
This is Christmas
It's all about the Savior wrapped in a manger.
This is Christmas
Because of Jesus Christ!
This is Christmas
Because of Christ!
Because of Christ!
And covered the village that lay sleeping below
Thank goodness, this season will never grow old.
I look through my window well into the night
Watching and waiting and hoping I might
See one little reindeer fly through the snow
Thank goodness, this season will never grow old.
Christmas is coming, may joy fill your home
And the spirit be with you wherever you go
Christmas is coming, may joy fill your home
And the spirit be with you wherever you go.
Trees with full branches were the first ones to go
I remember the children who came to the door
And sang out the carols we all used to know
Thank goodness, this season will never grow old.
All round the fire, the warmth of the flame
Tip-toeing softly trying not to awake
The ones who lie waiting for good things you know
Thank goodness, this season will never grow old.
Christmas is coming, may joy fill your home
And the spirit be with you wherever you go.
But down the road just out of town
There's more magic to be found
The countryside is all aglow
With holly trees and mistletoe
And in them woods there lives a bear
Known to all as Thistlehair.
Oh Thistlehair the Christmas bear
Spreadin' the good news everywhere
About Christmas time and what it means
To all the children of the world
Every little boy and girl out there
Loves Thistlehair.
He comes around this time of year
Spreading lots of Christmas cheer
The kids all love his shiny coat
And the smell of honey on his nose
He tells them all about the star
And everything that it stands for
The birthday we all celebrate
Is still our favorite holiday.
Oh Thistlehair the Christmas bear
Spreadin' the good news everywhere
About Christmas time and what it means
To all the children of the world
Every little boy and girl out there
Loves Thistlehair.
Wherever you find old Thistlehair
There'll be music in the air
He dances 'round the Christmas tree
Every single Christmas Eve
Then he and all his furry friends
Gather 'round the fire again
Singin' 'bout the Angels' wings
And the gifts of love that Christmas brings.
Oh Thistlehair the Christmas bear
Spreadin' the good news everywhere
About Christmas time and what it means
To all the children of the world
Every little boy and girl out there
Loves Thistlehair.
Thistlehair the Christmas bear
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la!
Thistlehair the Christmas bear
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la!
I would my true love did so chance
To see the legend of my play
To call my true love to my dance.
Chorus:
Sing, oh! my love, oh! my love
My love, my love
This have I done for my true love.
Then was I born of a virgin pure
Of her I took fleshly substance
Thus was I knit to man's nature
To call my true love to my dance.
Chorus
In a manger laid, and wrapped I was
So very poor, this was my chance
Betwixt an ox and a silly poor ass
To call my true love to my dance.
Chorus
Then afterwards baptized I was
The Holy Ghost on me did glance
My Father's voice heard from above
To call my true love to my dance.
Chorus
Into the desert I was led
Where I fasted without substance
The Devil bade me make stones my bread
To have me break my true love's dance.
Chorus
The Jews on me they made great suit
And with me made great variance
Because they loved darkness rather than light
To call my true love to my dance.
Chorus
For thirty pence Judas me sold
His covetousness for to advance
Mark whom I kiss, the same do hold
The same is he, who shall lead the dance.
Chorus
Before Pilate the Jews me brought
Where Barabbas had deliverance
They scourged me and set me at naught
Judged me to die to lead the dance.
Chorus
Then on the cross hanged I was
Where a spear my heart did glance
There issued forth both water and blood
To call my true love to my dance.
Chorus
Then down to hell I took my way
For my true love's deliverance
And rose again on the third day
Up to my true love and the dance.
Chorus
Then up to heaven I did ascend
Where now I dwell in sure substance
On the right hand of God, that man
May come unto the general dance.
Chorus
'Twas in the moon of wintertime
When all the birds had fled
That mighty Gitchi Manitou
Sent angel choirs instead
Before their light the stars grew dim
And wondering hunters heard the hymn.
Jesus your King is born
Jesus is born
In excelsis gloria.
Within a lodge of broken bark
The tender babe was found
A ragged robe of rabbit skin
En-wrapped His beauty round
But as the hunter braves drew nigh
The angel song rang loud and high.
Jesus your King is born
Jesus is born
In excelsis gloria.
The earliest moon of wintertime
Is not so round and fair
As was the ring of glory
On the helpless Infant there
The chiefs from far before Him knelt
With gifts of fox and beaver pelt.
Jesus your King is born
Jesus is born
In excelsis gloria.
O children of the forest free
O seed of Manitou
The holy Child of earth and Heav'n
Is born today for you
Come kneel before the radiant Boy
Who brings you beauty, peace and joy.
Jesus your King is born
Jesus is born
In excelsis gloria.
Every Christmas Eve
In a western town
Gather up the kids
All the friends and family
'Cause the holly's hung
And the candle's bright
Tuning up a fiddle
On a moon lit night
Roll back the rug
So we can two step 'round
The Christmas tree.
There's a jolly man
In a bright red suit
Did you ever see a Santa
In cowboy boots
Twirling across the floor
Spurs a-jingling merrily
As they sing those carols
Soft and low
We'll all be shouting out
Cotton-eyed Joe
Roll back the rug
So we can two step 'round
The Christmas tree.
Waiting 'neath the mistletoe
You'll never get a kiss
I never move that slow
There's too much I could miss
'Cause a western girl
Can't be still
And a silent night
Is not for me
Roll back the rug
So we can two step 'round
The Christmas tree.
Red bandannas
Kelly green
Silver buckles
On a new blue jeans
Jumpin' 'round the room
To a yule tide melody
I'm gonna be ready
When Santa comes
But I'm gonna be dancing Till he does
Roll back the rug
So we can two step 'round
The Christmas tree.
Waiting 'neath the mistletoe
You'll never get a kiss
I never move that slow
There's too much I could miss
'Cause a western girl
Can't be still
And a silent night
Is not for me
Roll back the rug
So we can two step 'round
The Christmas tree.
Roll back the rug
So we can two step 'round
The Christmas tree.
Was there any rare expectation
Like there was some kind of somethin' in store?
Did the sky have to hold back the thunder?
Did the moon find new reasons to glow?
Could the children somehow sense the wonder
2000 Decembers ago?
Were the sheep as amazed as the shepherds
At the new star that light up the sky?
Did the willow trees whisper excitement
To the rivers and streams passing by?
Did the joy ricochet off the mountains
'Til it filled up the valleys below?
Did all the world sense love abounding
2000 Decembers ago?
Was anyone able to look at the stable
And not see a Child but a King?
I wish I could hear back over the years
As heaven and nature sing
Heaven and nature sing.
Did the walls of the barn start to tremble
With a glory they could not contain?
Did anyone wake with the feeling
Of peace that they could not explain?
Oh the love must have been overwhelming
As it warmed everyone in its flow
For all of the earth is still telling
Of 2000 Decembers ago.
Was anyone able to look at the stable
And not see a Child but a king?
I wish I could hear back over the years
As heaven and nature sing
Heaven and nature sing.
Oh the love must have been overwhelming
2000 Decembers ago.
Out jumps good old Santa Claus
Down through the chimney with lots of toys
All for the little ones
Christmas joys.
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn't go!
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn't go!
Up on the housetop
Click, click, click
Down through the chimney
With good Saint Nick.
First comes the stocking
Of little Nell
Oh, dear Santa
Fill it well
Give her a dolly
That laughs and cries
One that will open
And shut her eyes.
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn't go!
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn't go!
Up on the housetop
Click, click, click
Down through the chimney
With good Saint Nick.
Next comes the stocking
Of little Will
Oh, just see what
A glorious fill
Here is a hammer
And lots of tacks
Also a ball
And a whip that cracks.
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn't go!
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn't go!
Up on the housetop
Click, click, click
Down through the chimney
With good Saint Nick.
The watchmen on the heights are crying:
Awake, Jerusalem, at last!
Midnight hears the welcome voices
And at the thrilling cry rejoices;
Come forth, ye virgins, night is past;
The Bridegroom comes, awake;
Your lamps with gladness take;
Alleluia! And for His marriage feast prepare
For ye must go and meet Him there.
Zion hears the watchmen singing,
And all her heart with joy is springing;
She wakes, she rises from her gloom;
For her Lord comes down all glorious,
The strong in grace, in truth victorious.
Her Star is risen, her Light is come.
Ah come, Thou blessed One, God's own beloved Son:
Alleluia! We follow till the halls we see
Where Thou hast bid us sup with Thee.
Now let all the heavens adore Thee,
And saints and angels sing before Thee,
With harp and cymbal's clearest tone;
Of one pearl each shining portal,
Where we are with the choir immortal
Of angels round Thy dazzling throne;
Nor eye hath seen, nor ear hath yet attained to hear
What there is ours, but we rejoice and sing to Thee
Our hymn of joy eternally.
It's the warm and fuzzy time of year.
Snow flakes fall the temp is dropping
Families out together shopping
It's the warm and fuzzy time of year.
Elves are working overtime
Making all our toys
Reindeer hooves on all the roofs
Of good little girls and boys.
Big old cups of steaming cider
Fall asleep by a cozy fire
It's the warm and fuzzy time of year.
Elves are working overtime

What its signs of promise are?
Traveler, o'er yon mountain's height
See that glory beaming star.
Watchman, does its beauteous ray
Aught of joy or hope foretell?
Traveler, yes, it brings the day
Promised day of Israel.
Watchman, tell us of the night
Higher yet that star ascends.
Traveler, blessedness and light
Peace and truth its course portends.
Watchman, will its beams alone
Gild the spot that gave them birth?
Traveler, ages are its own
See, it bursts o'er all the earth.
Watchman, tell us of the night
For the morning seems to dawn.
Traveler, darkness takes its flight
Doubt and terror are withdrawn.
Watchman, let thy wanderings cease
Hie thee to thy quiet home.
Traveler, lo! the Prince of Peace
Lo! the Son of God is come!
Ho ho ho
We are Santa's elves.
We are Santa's elves
Filling Santa's shelves
With a toy
For each girl and boy.
Oh, we are Santa's elves
We work hard all day
But our work is play
Dolls we try out
See if they cry out.
We are Santa's elves
We've a special job each year
We don't like to brag
Christmas Eve we always
Fill Santa's bag.
Santa knows who's good
Do the things you should
And we bet you
He won't forget you.
We are Santa's elves
Ho ho ho. Ho ho ho
We are Santa's elves
Ho Ho!
Put up the tree
Before my spirit falls again
Fill up the stocking
I may be rushing things
But deck the halls again now.
For we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute
Candles in the window
Carols at the spinet.
Yes, we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute
It hasn't snowed a single flurry
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry!
So, climb down the chimney
Turn on the brightest string of light
I've ever seen
Slice up the fruitcake
It's time we hung some tinsel
On that evergreen bough.
For I've grown a little leaner
Grown a little colder
Grown a little sadder
Grown a little older
And I need a little angel
Sitting on my shoulder
Need a little Christmas now!
For we need a little music
Need a little laughter
Need a little singing
Ringing through the rafter
And we need a little snappy
Happy ever after
Need a little Christmas now!
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star.
O star of wonder, star of light
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light.
Born a King on Bethlehem's plain
Gold I bring, to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign.
O star of wonder, star of light
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light.
Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising, voices raising
Worshiping God on high.
O star of wonder, star of light
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light.
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in the stone cold tomb.
O star of wonder, star of light
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light.
Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and Sacrifice
Alleluia, Alleluia
Sounds through the earth and skies.
O star of wonder, star of light
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light.

Christmas day.
Good people all, this Christmas time
Consider well and bear in mind
What our good God for us has done
In sending His beloved Son.
With thankful heart we should pray
To God with love this Christmas day
In Bethlehem upon that morn
There was a blessed Messiah born!
The night before that happy tide
The noble virgin and her guide
Were long time seeking up and down
To find a lodging in the town.
But mark how all things came to pass
From every door repelled, alas!
As long foretold, their refuge all
Was but an humble oxen's stall.
There were three wise men from afar
Directed by a glorious star
And on they wandered night and day
Until they came where Jesus lay.
And when they came unto that place
Where our beloved Messiah was
They humbly cast them at His feet
With gifts of gold and incense sweet.
Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep
Their flocks of lambs and feeding sheep
To whom God's angels did appear
Which put the shepherds in great fear.
"Prepare and go", the angels said
"To Bethlehem, be not afraid
For there you'll find, this happy morn
A princely babe, sweet Jesus born".
With happy heart and joyful mind
The shepherds went the babe to find
And as God's angel had foretold
They did our Saviour Christ behold.
Within a manger He was laid
And by His side the virgin maid
Attending on the Lord of life
Who came on earth to end all strife.
Will I be with you or will I be among the missing?
Maybe it's much too early in the game
Ooh, but I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's eve?
Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year
New Year's eve?
Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of a thousand invitations
You received.
Ooh, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance:
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's Eve?
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?
Chorus:
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
Why lies he in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
The silent World is pleading.
Chorus:
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through
The cross be borne for me, for you
Hail, hail the Word made flesh
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant, king to own Him
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Chorus:
Raise, raise a song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby.
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
Lots of mistletoe
Lots of snow and ice
Everywhere we go
Choirs singin' carols
Right outside my door.
All these things and more
(All these things and more)
That's what Christmas means to me, my love
(That's what Christmas means to me, my love)
Oh yeah,
Oh yeah yeah.
And ya know what I mean
I see your smilin' face
Like I never seen before
Even though I love ya madly
It seems I love you more
And little though you give me
Will touch my heart for sure.
All these things and more, darling
(All these things and more)
Whoah!
That's what Christmas means to me, my love
Oh Yeah, aaah
(That's what Christmas means to me, my love)
Oh yeah ha ha
I feel like runnin' wild
Those angels and a little child
Greet you 'neath the mistletoe
Kiss you once and then some more
And wish you a Merry Christmas, baby
(Wish you a Merry Christmas, baby)
Oohh
And such happiness in the comin' year
Oh, baby
Let's deck the halls with holly
Sing sweet silent night
Fill the trees with angel hair
And pretty, pretty lights
Go to sleep and wake up
Just before daylight.
All these things and more, baby
(All these things and more)
Whoah!
That's what Christmas means to me, my love
(Christmas means to me, my love)
Oh baby baby!
That's what Christmas means to me, my love
Yeah, yeah yeah, oh yeah
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Oh yeah
Merry Christmas, yeah
Oh yes!
The yuletide carol doesn't make it better
Knowing that we won't be together.
A silent night
I know it's gonna be
Joy to the world
But it's gonna be sad for me.
What do the lonely do
At Christmas?
Oh, oh, what do the lonely do
At Christmas time?
The children can play with their new toys
While their little hearts burst open with joy
And lovers can kiss beneath the mistletoe
The choirs can sing those glorious songs of old.
But what is left
Oh, for me to do?
Now that it's Christmas
And I don't have you.
What do the lonely do
At Christmas?
Oh, oh, what do the lonely do
At Christmas time.
Oh, oh, what do the lonely do
At Christmas?
What do the lonely do
At Christmas?
Oh, what do they do, what do they do
At Christmas?
Ooh, what do they do, what do they do
At Christmas?
Oh, oh, what do the lonely do
At Christmas?
What do the lonely do
At Christmas.
Oh, ho, what do they do
What do they do
At Christmas?
Searchin' for light
In the darkness of insanity oohh
I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain
And hatred, and misery?
Each time I feel like this inside
There's one thing I wanna know
What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding? Ohhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding?
And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so
Downhearted sometimes
Where are the strong
Who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.
'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away
Just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
Where are the strong
Who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.
'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away
Just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
What you gonna call yo' pretty little baby
What you gonna call yo' pretty little baby?
Born, born in Bethlehem.
Some say one thing, I'll say Immanuel
Born, born in Bethlehem.
What you gonna call yo' pretty little baby
What you gonna call yo' pretty little baby
What you gonna call yo' pretty little baby?
Born, born in Bethlehem.
Some call him one thing, I'll call him Jesus
Born, born in Bethlehem.
What you gonna call yo' pretty little baby
What you gonna call yo' pretty little baby
What you gonna call yo' pretty little baby
Born, born in Bethlehem.
Sweet little baby, born in a manger
Born, born in Bethlehem.
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a Child is born.
A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn
This comes to pass, when a Child is born.
A rosy hue settles all around
You got the feel, you're on solid ground
For a spell or two no one seems forlorn
This comes to pass, when a Child is born.
Spoken part:
And all of this happens because the world is waiting
Waiting for one Child
Black, white, yellow, no-one knows
But a Child that will grow up and turn tears to laughter
Hate to love, war to peace and everyone to everyone's neighbor
And misery and suffering will be words to be forgotten, forever.
It's all a dream, an illusion now
It must come true, sometime soon somehow
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a Child is born.
Hymns and carols, choirs are forming
Everywhere that you go
Père Noël, Père Noël
Angels for every boy and girl
Nobody cries or tells any lies
The night that children rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world.
Doves and kings and shepherds and wisemen
Came together, followed the star
They all gathered down in the manger
They came from so very far
Midnight is clear, the spirits are here
Angels that guard each boy and girl
No hunger or thirst, the last will be first
The night that children rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world.
All the greatest wishes are granted
Let us sing, let innocence reign
All the prayers are finally answered
Blessed and free of all pain
Towers of fire, rise ever higher
Magical flags will be unfurled
The power of song, the young are the strong
The night that children rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world
Père Noël, Père Noël
Angels for every boy and girl
The demons are gone, the young are the strong
The night that children rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world.
Père Noël, Père Noël
Angels for every boy and girl
The demons are gone, the young are the so strong
The night when the children rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world
When the children rule the world
Tonight! When the children rule the world.
When the children Oh
When the children
When the children They rule the world
When the children Ooh, ooh, yeah
When the children Rule the world
When the children Rule the world
When the children) Rule the world.
That even though it's far
He'll find me Christmas Eve
I guess that Santa's busy
Cause he's never come around
I think of him
When Christmas comes to town.
The best time of the year
When everyone comes home
With all this Christmas cheer
It's hard to be alone
Putting up the Christmas tree
With friends who come around
It's so much fun
When Christmas comes to town.
Presents for the children
Wrapped in red and green
All the things I've heard about
But never really seen
No one will be sleeping
On the night of Christmas Eve
Hoping Santa's on his way.
When Santa's sleigh bells ring
I listen all around
The herald angels sing
I never hear a sound
And all the dreams of children
Once lost will all be found
That's all I want
When Christmas comes to town.
That's all I want
When Christmas comes to town.
When it's Christmas time in Texas
It's a very special time for me
In Texas we'll be swingin' 'round the Christmas tree
Dancin' to a Christmas melody.
When it's Christmas time in Texas
It might look just like a Summer day
There may not be snow in San Antonio
But it's a Texas Christmas to me.
When Santa crosses over the border
He'll sound a little diff'rent when he sings
He'll hear those twin fiddles playin'
Christmas songs with a touch of western swing
There may not be snow in San Antonio
But it's a Texas Christmas to me.
When it's Christmas time in Texas
I love to hear those Christmas carolers sing
People on the go, children's faces all aglow
Wond'rin' what Santa's gonna bring.
Grandpa's been chasin' Grandma around
Tryin' to catch her 'neath the mistletoe
Everything is right, the Lone Star's shinin' bright
And it's a Texas Christmas to me.
When Santa crosses over the border
He'll sound a little diff'rent when he sings
He'll hear those twin fiddles playin'
Christmas songs with a touch of western swing
There may not be snow in San Antonio
But it's a Texas Christmas to me.
And we're wishing you all a Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas from Texas and me.
"Have you been good the way you should
On ev'ry single day?"
When Santa gets your letter
To ask for Christmas toys
He'll take a look in his good book
He keeps for girls and boys.
He'll stroke his beard, his eyes will glow
And at your name he'll peer
It takes a little time, you know
To check back one whole year!
When Santa Claus gets your letter
I really do believe
You'll head his list, you won't be missed
By Santa on Christmas Eve.
Except for kids who weren't that nice
He filled their socks with ice.
Always in a jolly mood
Christmas cookies were his favorite food
His cheeks were rosy
And his eyes were bright
Especially on Christmassy nights.
Santa Claus, Oh Santa Claus
What a funny boy he was
No one could quite understand
Till Santa was a man.
He liked winter more than spring
He loved to laugh and loved to sing
Christmas carols were his favorite songs
He sang them all year long
Fa la la la!
He wasn't all that great in school
But in geography he ruled
He could name every home
From the North Pole to Rome.
Santa Claus, Oh Santa Claus
What a funny boy he was
No one could quite understand
Till Santa was a man.
After school he liked to play
On his papa's winter sleigh
He was sure reindeer
If someone would let them try.
He always wore (pum pum) red suits
He always wore (pum pum) black boots
Even at the summer beach
He kept them within reach.
Santa Claus, Oh Santa Claus
What a funny boy he was
No one could quite understand
Till Santa was a man.
He spent his weekends with the elves
Making toys all by themselves
They learned to make such wondrous things
While they'd laugh and sing
Fa la la la la!
Lots of kids thought he was strange
But they liked him just the same
His joyful heart and merry way
Brightened every day
Fa la la la la!
Santa Claus, Oh Santa Claus
What a funny boy he was
No one could quite understand
Till Santa was a man.
Santa Claus, Oh Santa Claus
What a funny boy he was
No one could quite understand
Till Santa was a man.
No one could quite understand
Till Santa was a man.
Why can't I find you?
Why have you gone away?
Where is the laughter
You used to bring me?
Why can't I hear music play?
My world is changing
I'm rearranging
Does that mean Christmas changes too?
Where are you, Christmas?
Do you remember
The one you used to know?
I'm not the same one
See what the time's done?
Is that why you have let me go?
Christmas is here
Everywhere, oh
Christmas is here
If you care, oh.
If there is love in your heart
And your mind
You will feel like Christmas
All the time.
I feel you, Christmas
I know I've found you
You never fade away
The joy of Christmas
Stays here inside us
Fills each and every heart with love.
Where are you, Christmas?
Fill your heart with love.
Glad tidings brought an angel bright:

Then shall my heart be filled with joy!
Refrain:

Joy, joy joy
Joy, joy joy
Praise we the Lord in heaven on high
Praise we the Lord in heaven on high.

Ein Engel mir die Botschaft bracht.

All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around
And glory shone around.
"Fear not!" said he, for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind
To you and all mankind."
"To you, in David's town, this day
Is born of David's line
A Savior, who is Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign
And this shall be the sign."
"The heavenly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands
And in a manger laid
And in a manger laid."
Thus spake the seraph and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God on high
Who thus addressed their song
Who thus addressed their song:
"All glory be to God on high
And to the Earth be peace
Goodwill henceforth from Heaven to men
Begin and never cease
Begin and never cease!
Breathing a lesson unheard
Hope with a gentle persuasion
Whispers her comforting word
Wait till the darkness is over
Wait till the tempest is done
Hope for the sunshine tomorrow
After the shower is gone.
Whispering hope
Oh, how welcome thy voice
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.
If, in the dusk of the twilight
Dim be the region afar
Will not the deepening darkness
Brighten the glimmering star?
Then when the night is upon us
Why should the heart sink away?
When the dark midnight is over
Watch for the breaking of day.
Whispering hope
Oh, how welcome thy voice
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.
Hope, as an anchor so steadfast
Rends the dark veil for the soul
Whither the Master has entered
Robbing the grave of its goal
Come then, O come, glad fruition
Come to my sad weary heart
Come, O Thou blest hope of glory
Never, O never depart.
Whispering hope
Oh, how welcome thy voice
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.
Have you seen the bright blue star?
It fills your heart with wishes.
Have you seen the candlelight?
It shines from every window;
Have you seen the moon above?
It lights the sky in silver.
Green is in the mistletoe
And red is in the holly
Silver in the stars above
That shine on everybody;
Gold is in the candlelight
And crimson in the embers
White is in the winter night
That everyone remembers.
Have you heard the boys outside?
When all the girls are skating;
Have you heard their sweet hearts cry?
For all this time they're waiting.
Green is in the mistletoe
And red is in the holly
Silver in the stars above
That shine on everybody;
Gold is in the candlelight
And crimson in the embers
White is in the winter night
That everyone remembers.
Have you seen the children playing?
Tiny hands are frozen;
Have you seen them hurry home?
When suddenly it's snowing.
Green is in the mistletoe
And red is in the holly
Silver in the stars above
That shine on everybody;
Gold is in the candlelight
And crimson in the embers
White is in the winter night
That everyone remembers.
Have you heard that bells are ringing?
Ringing at their story;
Have you heard the choir singing?
Glory! Glory! Glory!
But I just really like it
I am hardly religious
I'd rather break bread with Dawkins
Than Desmond Tutu, to be honest.
And yes, I have all of the usual objections to consumerism
The commercialization of an ancient religion
And the westernization of a dead Palestinian
Press-ganged into selling Playstations and beer
But I still really like it!
I, I really like Christmas
Though I'm not expecting a visit from Jesus.
I'll be seeing my dad
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun
I'll be seeing my dad
My sisters and brother, my gran and my mum
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun.
I don't go for ancient wisdom
I don't believe just 'cos ideas are tenacious
It means they are worthy
I get freaked out by churches
Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords
But the lyrics are dodgy.
And yes I have all of the usual objections to the mis-education
Of children forced into a cult institution
And taught to externalize blame
And to feel ashamed and to judge things as plain right and wrong
But I quite like the songs.
I'm not expecting great presents
The old combination of socks, jocks and chocolate
Is just fine by me.
Cos I'll be seeing my dad
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun
I'll be seeing my dad
My sisters and brother, my gran and my mum
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun.
And you, my baby girl
My jet lagged infant daughter
You'll be handed round the room
Like a puppy at a primary school
And you're too young to know
But you will learn yourself one day
That wherever you are and whatever you face
These are the people who'll make you feel safe in this world
My sweet blue-eyed girl.
And if, my baby girl
When you're twenty-one or thirty-one
And Christmas comes around
And you find yourself nine thousand miles from home
You'll know what ever comes
Your brother and sister and me and your mum
Will be waiting for you in the sun.
Girl, when Christmas comes
Your brothers and sisters, your aunts and your uncles
Your grandparents, cousins and me and your mum
Will be drinking white wine in the sun
We'll be waiting for you in the sun
Baby whenever you come
We'll be waiting for you in the sun
Waiting...
I, I really like Christmas
It's sentimental, I know.
At Whose feet the shepherds fall?
Who is He in deep distress
Fasting in the wilderness?
'Tis the Lord! O wondrous story!
'Tis the Lord! the King of glory!
At His feet we humbly fall,
Crown Him! crown Him, Lord of all!
Who is He the people bless
For His words of gentleness?
Who is He to Whom they bring
All the sick and sorrowing?
'Tis the Lord! O wondrous story!
'Tis the Lord! the King of glory!
At His feet we humbly fall,
Crown Him! crown Him, Lord of all!
Who is He that stands and weeps
At the grave where Lazarus sleeps?
Who is He the gathering throng
Greet with loud triumphant song?
'Tis the Lord! O wondrous story!
'Tis the Lord! the King of glory!
At His feet we humbly fall,
Crown Him! crown Him, Lord of all!
Lo! at midnight, who is He
Prays in dark Gethsemane?
Who is He on yonder tree
Dies in grief and agony?
'Tis the Lord! O wondrous story!
'Tis the Lord! the King of glory!
At His feet we humbly fall,
Crown Him! crown Him, Lord of all!
Who is He that from the grave
Comes to heal and help and save?
Who is He that from His throne
Rules through all the world alone?
'Tis the Lord! O wondrous story!
'Tis the Lord! the King of glory!
At His feet we humbly fall,
Crown Him! crown Him, Lord of all!
I bought you Donna
Ralph Lauren and Prada
I know I made you leave
Got a brotha beggin' please
Got a brotha on his knees
I bought you a two way
I even left Shantae
I won't cheat again
I need you, my friend
All a brotha want for Christmas
Is to have you back right in my life.
Why'd you leave me?
Why'd you leave me?
On this Christmas
Why'd you have to go?
Why'd you leave me?
Why'd you leave me?
On this Christmas
Why'd you have to go?
Why'd you leave me?
Why'd you leave me?
On this Christmas
Why'd you have to go?
Why'd you leave me?
Why'd you leave me?
On this Christmas
Why'd you have to go?
See a man can never
Can do what I do for you
See I'm so confused
Got me stuck on you
My mama say
Why do I deal with you?
Said I'm a crazy fool
And stay away from you
I dissed my family
Just to get next to you
I bought you a cell phone
Can't even talk to you
All a brotha want for Christmas
Is to have you right back in my life.
Why'd you leave me?
Why'd you leave me?
On this Christmas
Why'd you have to go?
Why'd you leave me?
Why'd you leave me?
On this Christmas
Why'd you have to go?
Why'd you leave me?
Why'd you leave me?
On this Christmas
Why'd you have to go?
Why'd you leave me?
Why'd you leave me?
On this Christmas
Why'd you have to go?
J-boog:
I mean why
Why'd you have to leave?
I put the gifts under the tree
And dissed my family
I mean why?
Baby I had the mistletoe under the doorway
Waiting for you
Why'd you have to go?
Please come back
I don't know what to do
Aw if I had one wish for Christmas
It'd be to have you
Right back in my life.
Why'd you leave me?
Why'd you leave me?
On this Christmas
Why'd you have to go?
Omarion and J-boog:
Had to get you the DKNY purse
Iced out wrist shopping sprees
I damn near did everything
For you.
Followed the new star
By its heavenly light
Did the lambs fear the wolves?
Did they lay down and sleep?
Who kept the sheep?
Who kept the sheep?
Did robbers not steal?
Or did they fear the light
That the shepherds had followed
Night after night?
Did they not stray?
Did little lambs weep?
Who kept the sheep?
Who kept the sheep?
Under the new star
The new Saviour lay
In his dim manger
He lay on the hay
The shepherds that came
Had a vigil to keep
But who kept the sheep?
Who kept the sheep?
Who kept the sheep?
Who kept the sheep?
He sends His pure sweet love
A sign from above
On the wings of a dove.
When troubles surround us
When evils come
The body grows weak
The spirit grows numb
When these things beset us
He doesn't forget us
He sends down His love
On the wings of a dove.
On the wings of a snow white dove
He sends His pure sweet love
A sign from above
On the wings of a dove.
When Noah had drifted
On the flood many days
He searched for land
In various ways
Troubles he had some
But wasn't forgotten
He sent him His love
On the wings of a dove.
On the wings of a snow white dove
He sends His pure sweet love
A sign from above
On the wings of a dove.
When Jesus went down
Through the river that day
He was baptized in the usual way
And when it was done
God blessed His son
He sent him His love
On the wings of a dove.
On the wings of a snow white dove
He sends His pure sweet love
A sign from above
On the wings of a dove.
On the wings of a snow white dove
He sends His pure sweet love
A sign from above
On the wings of a dove.
On the wings of a dove
On the wings of a dove
On the wings of a dove.
Bum bum bum bum bum bum.
This is my winter song to you
The storm is coming soon
It rolls in from the sea.
My voice, a beacon in the night
My words will be your light
To carry you to me.
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love?
They say that, things just cannot grow
Beneath the winter snow
Or so I have been told.
They say we're buried far
Just like a distant star
I simply cannot hold.
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
This is my winter song
December never felt so wrong
Cause you're not where you belong;
Inside my arms.
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum.
I still believe in summer days
The seasons always change
And life will find a way.
I'll be your harvester of light
And send it out tonight
So we can start again.
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
This is my winter song
December never felt so wrong
Cause you're not where you belong
Inside my arms.
This is my winter song to you
The storm is coming soon
It rolls in from the sea.
My love a beacon in the night
My words will be your light
To carry you to me.
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Lies a mantel of white
A heaven of diamonds
Shine down through the night
Two hearts are thrilling
In spite of the chilling
Weather.
Love knows no season
Love knows no crime
Romance can happen
Any old time
Here in the open
We're walking
And hoping together.
Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening?
In the lane
Snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
As we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown.
He'll say, "Are you married?"
We'll say "No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town?".
Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman
Until the other kids knock him down.
When it snows, ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Walking, just a walking
Walking, just a walking
In a winter wonderland
Ooh, ooh, ooh!
Dancing in the sky above
Just for us
It's Christmas day
Something to believe in
I believe the love
That we feel for each other
Is His gift to us
And nothing will
Keep us apart
If we love
With a Christmas heart.
It's Christmas now
This is when the eyes of our children
Search into these eyes of ours
How sweet they are
What kind of world
Are we gonna leave them?
What we couldn't learn from each other
We still can learn from God
What a way to live
What a place to start
Bless us, please
With a Christmas heart.
Trim the tree and wrap the presents
Turn the Christmas music on
This Christmas I'll be home
With bells on.
I've traveled around this country
Crossed the waters deep and wide
Made lots of friends and memories
Brought joy to other's lives
It's Christmas time again
Another year has come and gone
And I can't keep from wonderin'
How the old folks are at home.
I'll be home with bells on
I'll be home with bells on
Trim the tree and wrap the presents
Turn the Christmas music on
This Christmas I'll be home
With bells on.
When the snow is on the meadow
And the sleigh bells jingle bright
And the kids are singing jingle bells
Around the Christmas lights
As daddy stokes the fire
And mama puts the turkey on
There ain't nothing going to slow me down
This Christmas I'll be home.
I'll be home with bells on
I'll be home with bells on
Trim the tree and wrap the presents
Turn the Christmas music on
This Christmas I'll be home with bells on.
The spirit's up
We're here tonight
And that's enough
Simply having
A wonderful Christmastime
Simply having
A wonderful Christmastime.
The party's on
The feeling's here
That only comes
This time of year
Simply having
A wonderful Christmastime
Simply having
A wonderful Christmastime.
The choir of children
Sing their song
They practiced
All year long
Ding-dong, ding-dong
Ding-dong, ding
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Simply having
A wonderful Christmastime
Simply having
A wonderful Christmastime.
The world is out
About the town
To lift a glass
Oh, don't look down
Simply having
A wonderful Christmastime.
The choir of children
Sing their song
They practiced
All year long
Ding-dong, ding-dong
Ding-dong, ding
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
The party's on
The feeling's here
That only comes
This time of year
Simply having
A wonderful Christmastime
Simply having
A wonderful Christmastime.
You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch
You really are a heel
You're as cuddly as a cactus
You're as charming as an eel
Mr. Grinch.
You're a bad banana
With a greasy black peel.
You're a monster, Mr. Grinch
Your heart's an empty hole
Your brain is full of spiders
You've got garlic in your soul
Mr. Grinch.
I wouldn't touch you
With a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole.
You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch
You have termites in your smile
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile.
Mr. Grinch.
Given the choice between the two of you
I'd take the seasick crocodile.
You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch
You're a nasty, wasty skunk
Your heart is full of unwashed socks
Your soul is full of gunk.
Mr. Grinch.
The three words that best describe you
Are as follows
And I quote: "Stink. Stank. Stunk."
You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch
You're the king of sinful sots
Your heart's a dead tomato splot
With moldy purple spots
Mr. Grinch.
Your soul is an appalling dump heap
Overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment
Of deplorable rubbish imaginable
Mangled up in tangled up knots.
You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch
With a nauseous super-naus
You're a crooked jerky jockey
And you drive a crooked horse
Mr. Grinch.
You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich.
With arsenic sauce.
I used to see heaven in your eyes
Now angels are falling from your skies.
The things we said were so wrong
And I haven't held you for so long
My foolish pride turns me inside
Why did we tell all those lies?
If you can reach for the phone
You don't have to be alone.
Outside the winter seems so cold (cold)
Your heart is frozen like the snow (snow)
And there's no one home to keep you safe and warm
Your eyes are red because you've cried (cried)
You fell asleep by the fireside (fireside)
But there's one thing you should know
On this Christmas, baby, you don't have to be alone.
And I had only one wish on my list
For me, you would be the perfect gift (yeah)
There's nothing colder than an empty home (oh)
And holidays were never meant to be alone (to be alone).
The smiles we gave when our hearts were saved
By each other's love and warmth
That subsided now, no happiness around
If I could only find a way to your heart.
You don't have to be alone
You don't have to be (no no) all alone
You don't have to be alone
(You don't have to be alone).
Sounds of forever
Still around.
Lovers in love
Just like we were
Cos being apart's a lonely sound.
When people ask how we stay together
I say you never let me down
Yeah, you make it feel like Christmas
Even when things go wrong
I hear the sound of Christmas
In your song
All year long.
Look at the sun
Shining on me
Nowhere could be a better place.
Lovers in love
Yeah, that's what we'll be
When you're with me
It's Christmas day.
Cos you make it feel like Christmas
Even when things go wrong
I hear the sound of Christmas
In your song
All year long
That's how you know that it's true, babe.
Just look at us now
Part of it all
Inspite of it all
We're still around.
So wake up the kids
Put on some tea
Let's light up the tree
It's Christmas day.
And you make it feel like Christmas
Even when things go wrong
Say it now
I hear the sound of Christmas in your song
All year long
Yes, you know that I do
All year long.
Each day is just like Christmas
Anytime that I am with you.
You're all I want for Christmas
And if all my dreams come true
Then I'll awake on Christmas morning
And find my stocking filled with you.
You're all I want for Christmas
All I want my whole life through
Each day is just like Christmas
Anytime that I am with you.
You're all I want for Christmas
And if all my dreams come true
Then I'll awake on Christmas morning
And find my stocking filled with you
And find my stocking filled with you.
The fireplace is aglow
And outside quiet streets
Are all covered with snow
So darling, let me tell you
On this day of days
Baby, you're my Christmas present
My Christmas past
My Christmas always.
In the night, church bells ring
Their message, a cheer
And somewhere canvassing
Soon Santa will be here;
And this I swear
As into your warm eyes I gaze
Baby, you're my Christmas present
My Christmas past
My Christmas always.
So, on this silent night
Let me hold you tight
And make you know
Just how good love can be
There's no gift of hope
And no treasure untold
That's as precious
As you are to me.
The stars twinkle on high
Our world is so fine
And I wish you Merry Christmas
And as you pour the wine
For you, this toast, my darling
As my glass I raise
Baby, you're my Christmas present
My Christmas past
My Christmas always
You're my Christmas always.
You never wanted the nice boys anyway
And I'm of good cheer
'Cause I've been checking my list
The gifts you're receiving from me
Will be:
One - awkward silence
And two - hopes you cry yourself to sleep
Staying up, waiting by the phone
And all I want this year is for you
To dedicate your last breath to me
Before you bury yourself alive.
Don't come home for Christmas
You're the last thing I wanna see
Underneath the tree
Merry Christmas
I could care less.
Happy New Years, baby
You owe me
The best gift I will ever ask for
Don't call me up
When the snow comes down
Its the only thing I want this year.
One - awkward silence
And two - hopes you cry yourself to sleep
Staying up, waiting by the phone
And all I want this year is for you
To dedicate your last breath to me
Before you bury yourself alive.
So, don't come home for Christmas
You're the last thing I wanna see
Underneath the tree
Merry Christmas
I could care less.
Don't come home for Christmas
You're the last thing I wanna see
Underneath the tree
Merry Christmas
I could care less.
Don't come home for Christmas
You're the last thing I wanna see
Underneath the tree
Merry Christmas
I could care less.
Patrick, in a lisp:
Sweet! They've recorded a Christmas song!
They must've spent a lot of money on this
But this one time, this one Christmas I got this -
Beeps 'Deck the Halls'
For some Christmas sharin'
But I pause because
Hangin' my stockin'
I can hear a knockin'
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
Sure is dark out
Not the slighest spark out
Pardon my clackin' jaws
Uh, who there?
Who is it?
Uh, stoppin' for a visit
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
Are you bringin' a present for me
Something pleasantly pleasant for me
That's what I've been waitin' for
Would you mind slippin' it under the door?
Four winds are howlin'
Or maybe that be growlin'
My legs feel like straws
Oh my, my, my, my
Kindly would you reply
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
Yeah!
Oh hangin' my stockin'
I can hear a knockin'
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
Yeah, say now
Hey there, who is it
Stoppin' for a visit
'Zat you, Santa Claus?>
Whoa there Santa, you gave me a scare
Now stop teasin' 'cause I know you're there
We don't believe in no goblins today
But I can't explain why I'm shakin' this way.
Well, I see old Santa in the keyhole
I'll give to the cause
One peek and I'll try there
Uh-oh there's an eye there
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
Please, please
I pity my knees
Say that's you Santa Claus.
That's him alright!!
In a cradle in the manger lies the Holy Boy.
Zion's daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the Christ Child, resting for awhile.
Now the world is waiting, people want to hear
What in Bethlehem had happened,
That has brought the Saviour near
Now high hope starts rising for another day
With eternal love and justice finally on the way.
Zion's daughter, now your heart is full of joy
In a cradle in the manger lies the Holy Boy.
Zion's daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the Christ Child, resting for awhile.
Zion's daughter, now your heart is full of joy
In a cradle in the manger lies the Holy Boy.
Zion's daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the Christ Child, resting for awhile.
That's the way it happened many years ago
With the sky above now shining in a wondrous glow.
Now the world is waiting, people want to hear
What in Bethlehem had happened, that all will say you're near.
Zion's daughter, now your heart is full of joy
In a cradle in the manger lies the Holy Boy.
Zion's daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the Christ Child, resting for awhile.

Leave your toys
Make no noise
Kneel at his crib and worship him
At thy shrine
Child divine
We are thine
Our Savior's here.
Chorus:
"Hallelujah" the church bells ring
"Hallelujah" the angels sing
"Hallelujah" from everything
All must draw near.
On that day
Far away
Jesus lay
Angels were watching 'round his head
Holy Child
Mother mild
Undefiled
We sing thy praise.
Chorus:
"Hallelujah" the church bells ring
"Hallelujah" the angels sing
"Hallelujah" from everything
Our hearts we raise.
Shepherds came
At the fame
Of thy name
Angels their guide to Bethlehem
In that place
Filled with grace
Saw thy face
Stood at the door.
Chorus:
"Hallelujah" the church bells ring
"Hallelujah" the angels sing
"Hallelujah" from everything
Love evermore.
Wise men too
Haste to do
Homage new
Gold, myrrh and frankincense they bring
As 'twas said
Starlight led
To thy bed
Bending their knee.
Chorus:
"Hallelujah" the church bells ring
"Hallelujah" the angels sing
"Hallelujah" from everything
Worshiping thee.
Oh, that we
All might be
Good as He
Spotless, with God in unity
Savior dear
Ever near
With us here
Since life began.

"Hallelujah" the church bells ring
"Hallelujah" the angels sing
"Hallelujah" from everything
God head made Man.
Cherubim
Seraphim
Worship him
Sun, moon and stars proclaim his power
Every day
On our way
We shall say
Hallelujah.
Chorus:
"Hallelujah" the church bells ring
"Hallelujah" the angels sing
"Hallelujah" from everything
Hallelujah.
