AULD LANG SYNE

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne.
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

And here’s a hand, my trusty friend,
And give a hand of thine
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

AWAY IN A MANGER

Away in a manger, no crib for a 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 in 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 cradle 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.

BLUE CHRISTMAS

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 be the same dear
if you’re not here with me

And when those blue snowflakes start fallin’
That’s when those blue memories start callin’
You’ll be doin’ all right
With your Christmas of white,
But I’ll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas

THE CHIPMUNK SONG

Christmas, Christmas time is near
Time for toys and time for cheer
We’ve been good, but we can’t last
Hurry Christmas, hurry fast

Want a plane that loops the loop
Me, I want a hula hoop
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don’t be late.

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 thru the sky, shepherd boy; Do you hear what I hear?

A song, a song, high above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea; with a voice as big as 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 ev’rywhere: Listen to what I say!
Pray for peace, people ev’rywhere; 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.

FROSTY THE SNOWMAN

Thumpity thump thump, thumpity thump thump, look at Frosty go!
Thumpity thump thump, thumpity thump thump, over the hills of snow!

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul
With a corn cop pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was made out of snow
But the children know how he came to life one day

There must have been some magic in
That old silk cap 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

Down to the village with a broom stick in his hand
Runnin’ here and there all around the square
Sayin’ 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!”

But Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye sayin’ don’t you cry
I’ll be back again some day

GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER

Chorus:
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 forgot her medication
So she staggered out the door into the snow

When we found her Christmas mornin’
At the scene of the attack
She had hoof prints on her forehead
And incriminatin’ Claus marks on her back

Chorus

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?

Chorus

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 in grandmas wig

I’ve warned all my friends and neighbors
better watch out for your selves
they should never give a license
to a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS (WAR IS OVER)

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

Chorus:
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 war is so long
And so happy Christmas, for black and for white
For yellow and red ones, let’s stop all the fight

Bridge:
War is over if you want it, war is over now

And so this is Christmas, and what have we 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

HAVE A HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS

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

Bridge:
Ho 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!

HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS

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,

our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.

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

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus Lane.
Vixen, Blitzen, all his reindeer
Pulling on the reins.

Bells are ringing, children singing,
All is merry and bright.
Hang your stockings and have a cheer
‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus Lane.
He’s got a bag that’s filled with toys
For boys and girls again.

Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,
Oh what a beautiful sight.
Jump in bed and cover up your head
Because Santa Claus comes tonight.

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus Lane.

He loves you just the same.

So fill your hearts with Christmas cheer,

IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere 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 every store
But the prettiest sight to see
is the holly that will be on your own front door.

Bridge:
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
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.

IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR

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

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

Bridge:
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

JINGLE BELL ROCK

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.

Bridge:
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 rock!

JINGLE BELLS

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. Oh…

Chorus:
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh 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,
We got into a drifted bank
And there we got upsot. Oh…

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 world 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

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, and wonders, of His love.

LET IT SNOW!

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’ve bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Bridge:
When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I’ll hate going out in the storm!
But if you’ll 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!

MY FAVOURITE THINGS

Raindrops on roses,
and whiskers on kittens,
bright copper kettles,
and warm woolen mittens,
brown paper packages tied up with strings,
these are a few of my favorite things.

Cream colored ponies,
and crisp apple strudels,
door bells and sleigh bells,
and schnitzel with noodles.
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
these are a few of my favorite things.

Girls in a white dresses
with blue satin sashes,
snowflakes that stay
on my nose and eyelashes,
silver white winters that melt into springs,
these are a few of my favorite things.

Bridge:
When the dog bites,
when the bee stings,
when I’m feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
and then I don’t feel so bad.

O HOLY NIGHT

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.

A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!

Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His Gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His Name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy Name!

Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!

RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER

You know Dasher and Dancer, and Prancer and Vixen.
Comet and Cupid and Doner and Blitzen.
But do you recall, the most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer)
had a very shiny nose (like a light bulb)
And if you ever saw him (saw him)
you would even say it glows (like a light bulb)

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)

Bridge:
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)

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer)
you’ll go down in history! (like Columbus)

City 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

Blink of 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

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.

Six geese a-laying
FIVE GOLDEN RINGS
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree

On the tenth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me:
Ten Lords a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
FIVE GOLDEN RINGS
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree

On the eleventh day of Christmas
My true love gave to me:
Eleven pipers piping
Ten Lords a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
FIVE GOLDEN RINGS
Four calling birds
Three French hens
two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree

On the twelfth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me:
Twelve drummers drumming
Eleven pipers piping
Ten Lords a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
FIVE GOLDEN RINGS
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree

WHAT ARE YOU DOING NEW YEARS EVE?

Maybe it’s much too early in the game
Oh, 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

Bridge:
Maybe I’m crazy to suppose
I’d ever be the one you chose
Out of a thousand invitations
You received

Oh, 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?

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?

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 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!

WHISTLER FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Lyrics by Dana-Marie Battaglia

Oh, there’s no place like Whistler for the holidays
‘Cause no matter if you love to board or ski
If you long for the powder and a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can’t beat Whistler, BC

Bridge:
I met a man who lived in Washington
And he was looking for
Fresh tracks, deep pow, and some home brew chestnut ale
From all over folks are traveling
Right on past the North Shore
When you get to the Pacific
Gee the Sea to Sky is terrific

Oh, there’s no place like Whistler for the holidays
‘Cause no matter if you love to board or ski
If you long for the powder and a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can’t beat Whistler, BC
For the holidays you can’t beat Whistler, BC

WHITE CHRISTMAS

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

WINTER WONDERLAND

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.
