White Christmas
Bing Crosby
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the tree-tops 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 Just like the ones I used to know Where the tree-tops 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

Frosty the Snowman
Walter "Jack" Rollins and Steve Nelson
Frosty the Snow Man was a jolly happy soul
With a corn-cob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the Snow Man 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 put it on his head
He began to dance around oh
Frosty the Snow Man as alive as he could be
And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
Frosty the Snow Man
Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said let's run and we'll have some fun
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 someday I'll be back again some day

Marshmallow World
Darlene Love
[Intro]
It's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's time for play, it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it all year round
Those 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 favourite girl
It's a sugar date, what if spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world
[kazoo]

Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer & Jingle Bells
Traditional
[Intro]
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say,
“Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?”
Then all the reindeer loved him
And they shouted out with glee,
“Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
You'll go down in history! “
[Instrumentally bit]
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.
We’re Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Across the fields we go,
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtails ring,
Making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing
song tonight.
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.

Walking in a Winter Wonderland
Dean Martin
Sleigh bells ring are you listening In the lane snow is glistening A beautiful sight we're happy to night 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 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
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

Let it Snow
Sammy Cahn
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 kiss 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.
[Instrumental Section]

Mary’s Boy Child Boney M
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 flock by night They see a bright new shining star They hear a choir sing a song The music seemed to come from a far
Hark now hear the angels sing A king was born today And man will live for evermore Because of Christmas day
Now Joseph and his wife Mary came to Bethlehem that night They found no place to bear the 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

A ray of hope flickers in the sky,
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
All the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn,
This comes to pass when a child is born.
A rosy hue settles all around,
You get 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.
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.

I Believe in Father Christmas
Greg Lake
They said there'll be snow at Christmas They said there'll be peace on earth But instead it just kept on raining A veil of tears for the virgin birth I remember one Christmas morning A winters light and a distant choir And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell And their eyes full of tinsel and fire [Instrumental Section]
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 And I believed in Father Christmas And I looked at the sky with excited eyes ‘till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn And I saw him and 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 you deserve

Mistletoe & Wine
Cliff Richard
Intro
The child is a king, the carollers sing, the old has passed, there’s a new beginning. 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.
[Instrumental Section] 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.

But the very next day you gave it away,
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,
This year to save me from tears,
I’ll give it to someone 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, 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, This year to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special.
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 under cover but you tore me apart, Oh, oh 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, 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, This year to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special.

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 sea--son of all
With those holiday greetings and gay, happy meetings
When friends come to call,
it's the hap - happiest sea--son of all
There'll be parties for hosting, marsh--mallows for toasting,
and caroling out in the snow.
There'll be scary ghost stories and tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long a- -go.
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistle--toeing, and hearts will be glowing
when loved ones are near.

Another year over, a new one just begun.
And so this is Christmas, I hope you have fun

[Intro] We’re walking in the air We're floating in the moonlit sky The people far below are sleeping as we fly I’m holding very tight I'm riding in the midnight blue I’m finding I can fly so high above with you [Instrumentally bit] Far across the world The villages go by like trees The rivers and the hills The forests and the streams Children gaze open mouthed Taken by surp-rise Nobody down below beli-eves their eyes We’re surfing in the air We're swimming in the frozen sky We’re drifting over icy Mountains floating by [Intrumentally bit] Suddenly swooping low On an ocean deep A rousing of a mighty monster from its sleep We’re walking in the air We're floating in the midnight sky And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly

Stay Another Day
East 17
Intro:
Baby if you've got to go away
I don't think I can take the pain
Won't you stay another day?
Oh, don't leave me alone like this
Don't you say it's the final kiss
Won't you stay another day?
Don't you know we’ve come too far now
Just to go and try to throw it all away
Thought I heard you say you love me
That your love was gonna be here to stay
I've only just begun to know you
All I can say is won't you stay just one
more day?
Baby if you've got to go away
I don't think I can take the pain
Won't you stay another day?
Oh, don't leave me alone like this
Don't you say it's the final kiss
Won't you stay another day?
I touch your face while you are sleeping
And hold your hand
Don't understand what's going on
Good times we had return
To haunt me
Though it's for you
All that I do seem to be wrong
Baby if you've got to go away
I don't think I can take the pain
Won't you stay another day?
Oh, don't leave me alone like this
Don't say it's the final kiss
Won't you stay another day?
Baby if you've got to go away
I don't think I can take the pain
Won't you stay another day?
Oh, don't leave me alone like this
Don't say it's the final kiss
Won't you stay another day?

Merry Christmas Everyone
Shakin’ Stevens
Snow is falling all around me
Children playing , having fun.
It's the season of love and under- -standing,
Merry Christmas everyone!
Time for parties and celeb--ration
People dancing all night long
Time for presents and ex changing kisses
Time for singing Christmas songs.
We're gonna have a party tonight,
I'm gonna find that girl,
Underneath the misteltoe, and kiss by candlelight .
Room is swaying, records playing
All the old songs, love to hear.
Oh I wish that every day was Christmas
What a nice way to spend a year.
[Instrumental Section]
We're gonna have a party tonight,
I'm gonna find that girl,
Underneath the misteltoe, and kiss by candlelight
Ooo, snow is falling all around me
Children playing, having fun.
It's the season love and under- -standing,
Merry Christmas everyone!
Merry Christmas everyone!
Oh, merry Christmas everyone!
Ooo, snow is falling all around me

It's the season love and understanding,

Do They Know it’s Christmas?
Band Aid
It's Christmas time, there’s no need to be afraid.
At Christmas time, 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 Christmas time.
But say a prayer; pray for the other ones,
At Christmas time, 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 Christmas time.
The greatest gift they’ll get this year is life. Oh Oh Oh
Where nothing ever grows, no rain nor rivers flow,
Do they know it’s Christmas time at all?
[Instrumental Section]
Here’s to you; Raise a glass for everyone.
Here’s to them; Underneath that burning sun
Do they know it’s Christmas time at all?
[Instrumental Section]
Feed the world!
Feed the world!
Feed the world! Let them know it’s Christmas time again
Feed the world! Let them know it’s Christmas time again
Feed the world! Let them know it’s Christmas time again

All I Want for Christmas Is You
Mariah Carey
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
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 don't need to hang my stocking there upon the fire place 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 baby
I won't ask for much this Christmas I don't even wish for snow 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 All I want for Christmas is you
All the lights are shining so brightly everywhere And the sound of children's laughter fills the air And everyone is singing 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 my baby standing right outside my door 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

I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday
Roy Wood
Oh when the snowman brings the snow
Oh well he just might like to know
He’s put a great big smile up- -on somebody’s face.
If you jump into your bed,
Quickly cover up your head,
Don’t you lock your door, you know that
Sweet Santa Claus is on his way.
Oh well I wish it could be Christmas every day.
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play.
Oh I wish it could be Christmas every day, So 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 gonna light my merry way.
Now the ‘frosticals’ appeared
And they’ve frozen up my beard,
So we’ll lie by the fire till the
Sleep simply melts them all away.
Oh well I wish it could be Christmas every day.
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play.
Oh I wish it could be Christmas every day So let the bells ring out for Christmas!
When the snowman brings the snow
Oh well he just might like to know
He’s put a great big smile up- -on somebody’s face.
So if Santa brings the sleigh
All along that Milky Way,
I’ll sign my name on the rooftop in the
Snow then he may decide to stay.
Oh well I wish it could be Christmas every day.
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play.
Oh I wish it could be Christmas every day So let the bells ring out for Christmas!
Why don’t you give your love for Christmas?

Fairytale of New York
The Pogues
It was Christmas Eve babe, 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 at ten 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
[Instrumental Section]
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 The boys of the NYPD choir, Were singing "Galway Bay" And the bells were ringing out, For Christmas day 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 The boys of the NYPD choir, Were singing "Galway Bay" And the bells were ringing out, For Christmas day
