Rocking Around The Christmas Tree

Rocking around the Christmas tree

At the Christmas party hop

A 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 a new old fashioned way

INTERLUDE

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’s dancing merrily

In a new…old…fashioned …..waaaaaaaay!

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

Late on, we’ll conspire

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid, the plans that we made

Walking in a 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

And pretend that he’s a circus clown

We’ll have lots of fun with Mister Snowman

Yes until the kids all knock him down

And 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 - Walking in a winter wonderland

Merry Christmas Everyone (Shakin Stevens)

Snow is falling all around me

Children playing, having fun

It's the season, 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

Oh I wish that every day was Christmas

What a nice way to spend the year

INTERLUDE

We're gonna have a party tonight

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 had fun

A very Merry Christmas

And a happy new year

Walking in the Air

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

SHORT INTERLUDE

Far across the world

The villages go by like dreams

The rivers and the hills, the forests and the streams

Children gaze open mouthed

Taken by surprise

Nobody down below believes their eyes

We're surfing in the air

We’re swimming in the frozen sky

We're drifting over icy mountains floating by

SHORT INTERLUDE

Suddenly swooping low

On an ocean deep

Rousing up a mighty monster from his sleep

And walking in the air

We're dancing in the midnight sky

And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly

We're walking in the air

We're walking in the air

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 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 hate going out in the storm.

But if you really hold me tight

All the way home I’ll be warm

The fire is slowing 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.

When we finally kiss good night

How I 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 byeing

But as long as you love me so

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

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

Short break

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….Clauauuuss…..laassst….night.

Merry Christmas Everybody (Slade)

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?

It's the time that every Santa has a ball

Does he ride a red-nosed reindeer?

Does he turn-up on his sleigh?

Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?

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 the room to spare inside?

Does your granny always tell ya

That the old songs are the best?

Then she's up and rock and rollin' with the rest

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-ha

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 been slayed

So here it is Merry Christmas

Everybody's having fun

Look to the future now

It's only just begun

So here it is Merry Christmas

Everybody's having fun

Look to the future now

It's only just begun

So here it is Merry Christmas

Everybody's having fun (it's Christmas)

Look to the future now

It's only just begun

Mary’s Boy Child

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 ever more

Because of Christmas Day.

Mary’s boy child, Jesus Christ

Was born on Christmas Day

While shepherds watched their flock by

night,

They saw 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 forevermore

Because of Christmas Day.

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.

Hark now hear the angels sing,

A king was born today

And man will live forevermore

Because of Christmas Day

Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ

Was born on Christmas Day

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 just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas iiiiis youuuuuuuuuuuuu!

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 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

I won't ask for much this Christmas

I won't even wish for snow

I just wanna 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

Oh, Baby 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

I don't want a lot for Christmas

This is all I'm asking for

I just wanna 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

Baby all I want for Christmaaaaas

iiiiis yoouuuuuu!

All I want for Christmas is you, baby (repeat)

I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day

When the snowman brings the snow

Well he just might like to know

He's put a great big smile on sombody's face

If you jump into your bed

Quickly 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

So let the bells ring out for Christmas

When you're skating in the park

If the snow cloud makes it dark

Then your rosy cheeks are gonna light my merry way

Now the frosty paws appear

And they've frozen up my Beard

So we'll lie by the fire

Till the sleet simply knocks 'em all 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

So let the bells ring out for Christmas

INTERLUDE

When the snowman brings the snow

Well he just might like to know

He's put a great big smile on sombody's face

So if Santa brings that sleigh all along that milky way

I’ll sign my name in the rooftop in the snow and 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

So let the bells ring out for Christmas (Repeat)

WHY DON’T GIVE YOUR LOVE FOR CHRISTMAS!

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 sleighbells 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 treetops glisten and children listen

To hear sleighbells 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
