All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth

Everybody stopsand stares at meThese two teeth aregone as you can seeI don’t know just whoto blame for this catastrophe!But my one wish on Christmas Eveis as plain as it can be!

All I want for Christmasis my two front teeth,my two front teeth,see my two front teeth!

Gee, if I could onlyhave 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)

All I want for Christmasis my two front teeth,my two front teeth,see my two front teeth.Gee, if I could onlyhave my two front teeth,then I could wish you“Merry Christmas!”

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.

Blue Christmas

I’ll have a blue Christmas without you;I’ll be so blue thinking about you.Decorations of redon a green Christmas treeWon’t mean a thing ifyou’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 rightwith your Christmas of white,But I’ll have a blue, blue Christmas.

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

I saw Mommy kissing Santa ClausUnderneath the mistletoe last night.She didn’t see me creepdown the stairs to have a peep;She thought that I was tuckedup in my bedroom fast asleep.Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa ClausUnderneath his beard so snowy white;Oh, what a laugh it would have beenIf Daddy had only seen Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night.

O Little Town Of Bethlehem

O little town of Bethlehem,How still we see thee lieAbove thy deep & dreamless sleepThe silent stars go by:Yet in the dark streets shinethThe everlasting light:The hopes & fears of all the yearsAre met in thee tonight.

O Holy Child of Bethlehem,Descend to us, we pray:Cast out our sin and enter in;Be born in us today.We hear the Christmas angelsThe great glad tidings tell;Our Lord, Emmanuel.O come to us abide with us.

Frosty The Snowman

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 headhe began to dance around.O, Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be,And the children say he could laugh& play just the same as you & 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 knewthe sun was hot that day,So he said, “Let’s run andwe’ll have some funnow before I melt away.”Down to the village,with a broomstick in his hand,running here and there allaround the square saying,catch me if you can”.He led them down the streets of town right to the traf� c cop.

And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler “Stop!”For Frosty the snowmanhad 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.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,Let your heart be lightFrom now on,our troubles will be out of sightHave 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 usgather near to us once more.

Through the years we all will be togetherIf the Fates allowHang a shining star upon the highest bough.And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

It Came Upon the 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 layTo hear the angels sing.Still thru the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled;And still their heav’nly music � oats O’er all the weary world.Above it’s sad and lowly plainsThey bend on hov’ring wing,And ever o’er its Babel soundsThe blessed angels sing.For lo! the days are hast’ning on,By prophets seen of old, When with the ever circling yearsShall come the time fore told,When the new heav’n and earth shall ownThe Prince of Peace their King,And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing.

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 most wonderful time of the year.There’ll be much mistletoeingand hearts will be glowing,when loved ones are near.It’s the most wonderfultime of the year.

Silent night, holy night,Son of God, love’s pure lightRadiant beams from thy holy face,With the dawn of redeeming grace,Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

Silver Bells

City sidewalks, busy sidewalksdressed in holiday style.In the air there’sa 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 homewith 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.

White Christmas

I’m dreaming of a white ChristmasJust like the ones I used to know,Where the tree tops glisten, and children listenTo hear sleighbells in the snow.I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,With every Christmas card I writeMay your days be merry and bright,And may all your Christmases be white.

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

You know Dasher and DancerAnd Prancer and Vixen,Comet and CupidAnd Donner and Blitzen.But do you recallThe 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 it(saw it)You would even say it glows(like a � ash light)All of the other reindeer(reindeer)Used to laugh and call him names(like Pinochio)They never let poor Rudolph(Rudolph)Play in any reindeer games(like Monopoly)

Then one foggy Christmas EveSanta came to say(Ho Ho Ho)Rudolph with your nose so brightWon’t you guide my sleigh tonight?Then all the reindeer loved him(loved him)And they shouted out with glee(yippee)“Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer(reindeer)You’ll go down in history!”

Chestnuts roasting on an open � reJack Frost nipping at your noseYule-tide carols being sung by a choirAnd folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoeHelp to make the season brightTiny tots with their eyes all aglowWill � nd it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa’s on his wayHe’s loaded lots of toysand goodies on his sleighAnd every mother’s child is gonna spyTo see if reindeerreally know how to � y.

And so I’m offering this simple phraseTo kids from one to ninety-twoAlthough it’s been saidmany times, many waysMerry Christmas to you.

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,in the lane, snow is glisteningA beautiful sight,we’re happy tonight,walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird,here to stay is a new birdHe sings a love song,as we go along,walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadowwe can build a snowman,Then pretend that he is Parson BrownHe’ll say: “Are you married”?we’ll say: “No man,but you can do the jobwhen you’re in town”.

Later on, we’ll conspire,as we dream by the � reTo 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 clownWe’ll have lots of fun with mister snow-man,until the other kids knock him down.

When it snows, ain’t it thrilling,Though your nose gets a chillingWe’ll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,walking in a winter wonderland.

Walking in a winter wonderland,walking in a winter wonderland.
