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 
Soon it will be Christmas day

A French Carol 

Angels we have heard on high, 
Singing sweetly o'er the plains, 
And the mountains in reply 
Echoing their joyous strain. 

Glorrrrr..........ia
In excelsis Deo. 

Glorrrrr..........ia
In excelsis Deo. 

Shepherds, why this jubilee? 
Why your joyous strains prolong? 
What the gladsome tidings be? 
Which inspire your heav'nly song. 

Glorrrrr..........ia
In excelsis Deo. 

Glorrrrr..........ia
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. 

Glorrrrr..........ia
In excelsis Deo. 

Glorrrrr..........ia
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. 

Glorrrrr..........ia

FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
Back to Top

Intro

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 fairytale 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

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 Snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye
Saying don't you cry 
I'll be back again some day

Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow



WHITE CHRISTMAS

With every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.

Peace on earth, and mercy mild

Born that man no more may die. 
Born to raise the sons of earth;
Born to give them second birth.

WINTER WONDERLAND
Back to Top

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' 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
Walkin' 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 made
Walkin' 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"

As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid

UNCLE SANTA
Back to Top
R Van Gorder

My childhood's great ambition
Was frustrated because
I couldn't get Aunt Mary
To marry Santa Claus. 

With Santa for an uncle, 
I reckoned to become
The envy of all other kids
Throughout all Christendom. 

A story-telling maiden aunt
And dearly loved was she--
A perfect mate for Santa,
But she she thought differently! 

She said, "He simply will not do.
His beard would make a mess
When he ate soup; and I will not 
Endure such sloppiness; 

And furthermore, if you don't stop
This wearisome pursuit,
I'll booby-trap the chimney--
I"ll fix that darned old coot!" 

So Santa's not my uncle
In fact, as I recall,
He's never shown himself to be
Much kin to me at all, 

But for the youngsters of today
I have some sound advice:
This coming crop of aunties
Think beards are very nice 

So one of you might snag him
For an uncle, if you try,
And I sincerely hope that you
Have better luck than I!

'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight. 

Here comes Santa Claus!

Right down Santa Claus Lane!

Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,
What a beautiful sight.
Jump in bed, cover up your head,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

At the fireplace while we watch

THERE'S A SONG IN THE AIR

Holland - Harrington 

Intro
There's a song in the air
There's a star in the sky
There's a mother's deep prayer
And a Baby's low cry
And the star rains it's 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.
Aye! the star rains it's fire 
While the beautiful sing 
For the manger of Bethlemen 
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 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 thur the night
From the heavenly throng
Aye! we shout to the 
Lovely evangel they bring
And we greet in His cradle
Your Savior and King

THE BIRTHDAY OF A KING

Intro

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

'Twas a 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 wil a holy light. 
'Twas the birthday of a King






WHAT BETTER TIME THAN CHRISTMAS

What better time than Christmas
to have all the friends and neighbors over
for a rousing good time.

Oscar Kat brought his banjo and Mr T, his guitar. 

Everyone has egged them on, 
so they are going to have a contest to see which is the best.

The Reverend Mr Goodbody is here to judge
the contest between Oscar Kat and Mr T 

Billie Ray and Junie just can't resist dancing and
Grandma is here to cheer. 

And Rufus doesn't care! 




ELVES
Back to Top

Did you ever see a pixie
Or a jolly little elf?
They're Santa's little helpers;
He told me so himself. 

Their suits are green as holly
With small peaked caps of red;
Their boots are tied with jingle bells
At least I've heard it said.
Now these happy little pixies
Think their work is just like play
When they're busy making toys
To give on Christmas Day.

They dress each doll with loving care
And comb and brush her curls,
Put polka dots on drums and sleds
For all good boys and girls. 

They paint red stripes on candy canes
And make cookies by the score;
Then they gather sprigs of mistletoe
To hang outside the door.

When at last it's Christmas Eve
And the ground is white with snow,
Santa's house is a merry place
As in and out they go.

They feed and groom the reindeer
And fill up Santa's sleigh;
They tuck him in real snugly
To speed him on his way. 

When you awake on Christmas morn
And you can hardly wait to see
All the toys that Santa's left you 
Underneath the tree, 

Would you like to see a pixie?
Then remember what I say
They'll be peeking in your window
On this happy Christmas Day. 





I HEARD THE BELLS ON CHRISTMAS DAY
Back to Top

Intro
I heard the bells on Christmas day.
Their old familiar carols play
And mild 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.

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."





BLUE CHRISTMAS

Intro

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, Dear, if
You're not here with me.

I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain;
And when that blue, blue heartache starts hurting,
You'll be doing all right
With your Christmas of white,
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas.

Again.....

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, Dear, if
You're not here with me.

I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain;
And when that blue, blue heartache starts hurting,
You'll be doing all right
With your Christmas of white,
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas.





OH HOLY NIGHT
Back to Top


O holy night! The stars are brightly shining 
It is the night of the dear Saviors birth 

Long lay the world in sin and error pining 
Till He appeared and the soul felt it’s 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, O night - when Christ was born 
O night divine, O night - when Christ was born 

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming 
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand 

So, led by light of a star sweetly gleaming 
Here came the wise men from the Orient land

The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend 

He knows our need, to our weakness no stranger 
Behold your King, before Him lowly bend
Behold your King, your King, before Him lowly bend 

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 we raise.
Let all within us praise His holy Name 

Christ is the Lord, then ever, ever praise we
His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim 
His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim

The lame will leap, the dumb will speak 
the praises of The Lamb? 

Did you know that your baby boy 
is the Lord of all creation? 

Mary did you know that your baby boy

And the sleeping Child you're holding

THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS - ORIGINS
Back to Top

From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics. It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality which the children could remember. 

The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ. 

Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments.

Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love. 

The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. 

The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament. 

The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation. 

Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit: Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy. 

The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes. 

Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness Gentleness, and Self Control. 

The ten lords a-leaping were the ten commandments. 

The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithfu disciples. 

The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve point of belief in the Apostles' Creed.

AWAY IN A MANGER 2
Back to Top

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus, lays down his sweet head.
The stars in the 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 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. 





I SAW MOMMY KISSING SANTA CLAUS
Back to Top


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.

THE FIRST NOEL
Back to Top
Traditional
First appeared in print 1883 

Intro
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 

This star drew nigh to the northwest,
O'er Bethlem 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





GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER
Back to Top
by Elmo & Patsy

Intro

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 hoofprints on her forehead
And incrimimating 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 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? 

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 in 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

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! 





IT'S A MARSHMELLOW WORLD
Back to Top

It's a marshmellow world in the winter, 
When the snow comes a tumblin' down, 
It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day 
I wait for it the whole year 'round. 

Those are marshmellow 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 marshmellow world. 

If you love snow, as I do,
Sing it again 

It's a marshmellow world in the winter, 
When the snow comes a tumblin' down, 
It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day 
I wait for it the whole year 'round. 

Those are marshmellow 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 marshmellow world.

Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let ev'ry heart, prepare Him room,
And Heav'n and nature sing,

Joy to the earth! the Savior reigns;
Let men their songs employ; 
While fields and flood, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sound joy,

Short instrumental 

No more let sins and sorrow 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 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 of His love

Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let ev'ry heart, prepare Him room,
And Heav'n and nature sing,
And Heav'n and nature sing,
And Heav'n and nature sing,

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS
Back to Top

Intro 
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.
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait
for school to start again. 

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
Within your heart. 




OH LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM
Back to Top

Intro
Oh, little town of Bethlehem, 
How still we see thee lie.
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by.
Yet in they dark streets shineth,
The everlasting Light.
The hope and fears of all the years 
Are met in thee tonight.


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 wonderous gift is giv'n 
So God imparts to human hearts 
The blessings of His heav'n
No ear may hear His coming
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him still, 
The dear Christ enters in. 

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 angels 
The great glad tiding tell, 
O come to us, abide with us, 
Our Lord Emmanuel 






JINGLE BELL ROCK

Bobby Helms 

Intro 
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' 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 glidin' in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' 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 glidin' in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell rock
