Run Run Rudolph
Out of all the reindeers
You know you’re the mastermind
Run, run Rudolph
Randolph ain’t too far behind
Run, run Rudolph
Santa’s got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry
Tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph
‘Cause I’m reelin’ like a merry go round
Said Santa to a boy child
What have you been longing for?
All I want for Christmas is a
Rock and roll electric guitar
And then away went Rudolph
Whizzin’ like a shootin’ star, yeah
Said Santa to a girl child
What would you like most to get?
A little baby doll that can cry, sleep, drink and wet
And then away went Rudolph
Whizzin’ like a Saber jet
Angels We Have Heard on High
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?
Angels! Sweetly singing o’er the plains!
Jingle Bells
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O’er 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
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled
Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
Christ by highest heaven adored
Christ the everlasting Lord
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of a Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased with us in flesh to dwell
Jesus our Emmanuel
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
Hail the heavenly Prince of Peace
Hail the Son of Righteousness
Light and life to all He brings
Risen with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch
You’re a mean one Mister Grinch!
You really are a heel
You’re as cuddly as a cactus
You’re as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch!
You’re a bad banana
With a greasy black peel
You’re a monster, Mr. Grinch!
Your heart’s an empty hole
Your brain is full of spiders
You’ve got garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch!
I wouldn’t touch you with a
39-and-a-half foot pole!
You’re a foul one, Mr. Grinch!
You’re a nasty-wasty skunk!
Your heart is full of unwashed socks
Your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch!
The three words that best describe you
Are as follows, and I quote:
“Stink! Stank! Stunk!”
You’re a vile one, Mr. Grinch!
You have termites in your smile
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch!
And given the choice between the two of you
I’d take the seasick crocodile!
You’re a rotter, Mr. Grinch!
You’re the king of sinful sots
Your heart’s a dead tomato
Splotched with moldy, purple spots, Mr. Grinch...
Your soul is an appalling dump heap
Overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of
Deplorable rubbish imaginable mangled up in
Tangled-up knots
You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch!
With a nauseous super naus
You’re a crooked jerky jockey
And you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch!
You’re a three-decker sauerkraut
And toadstool sandwich
With arsenic sauce
Oh Come, All Ye Faithful
Oh come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant
Oh come ye Oh come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him born the King of angels
O come let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him Christ the Lord
Sing choirs of angels sing in exaltation
Oh sing all ye citizens of Heaven above
Glory to God, glory in the highest
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
He’s making a list,
He’s checking it twice,
He’s gonna find out who’s naughty or nice
He sees you when you’re sleeping
And he knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
You better be good for goodness sake
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout, I’m telling you why
‘Cause Santa Claus is coming to town
Oh let’s go!
He sees you when you’re sleeping
And he knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
You better watch out!
You better not cry
You better not pout, I’m telling you why
Christmas Wrapping
“Bah, humbug” no, that’s too strong
‘Cause it is my favorite holiday
But all this year's been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush
Just cause it's 'tis the season
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left from
Last year, ski shop
Encounter, most interesting
Had his number but never the time
Most of '81 passed along those lines
So deck those halls, trim those trees
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer
I just need to catch my breath
Christmas by myself this year
Calendar picture, frozen landscape
Chilled this room for twenty-four days
Evergreens, sparkling snow
Get this winter over with
Flashback to springtime, saw him again
Would've been good to go for lunch
Couldn't agree when we were both free
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch
Didn't, of course, 'til summertime
Out to the beach to his boat, could I join him?
No, this time it was me
Sunburn in the third degree
Now the calendar’s just one page
And, of course, I am excited
Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind
Not to do too much about it
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
But I think, I'll miss this one this year
Hardly dashing through the snow
'Cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute have to do
A few cards a few calls
'Cause it's "RSVP"
No thanks, no party lights
It's Christmas eve, gonna relax
Turned down all of my invites
Last fall I had a night to myself
Same guy called, Halloween party
Waited all night for him to show
This time his car wouldn't go
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late
Trudge on home to celebrate
In a quiet way, unwind
Doing Christmas right this time
A&P has provided me
With the world's smallest turkey
Already in the oven, nice and hot
Oh man! Guess what I forgot?
So on, with the boots, back out in the snow
To the only all-night grocery
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year
"I'm spending this one alone," he said
"Need a break, this year's been crazy"
I said, "Me too, but why are you?
You mean you forgot cranberries too?"
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
Caught on to what was happening
That Christmas magic's brought this tale
To a very happy ending
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
Go Tell It on the Mountain
While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light
(Oh) (So) I say go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo above the Earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth
Down in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
On that blessed Christmas morn
I was a lonely seeker
I sought both night and day
I asked the Lord to help me
And he showed me the way
He made me a watchman
Upon a city wall
And if I am a Christian
I am the least of all
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 is you
Yeah
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need (and 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
You, baby
Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow (and I)
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?
Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
Oh-oh, all the lights are shining so brightly everywhere (so brightly, baby)
And the sound of children's laughter fills the air (oh, oh, yeah)
And everyone is singing (oh, yeah)
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need? (Yeah, oh)
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 wanna see my baby standing right outside my door
Oh, I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
Merry Christmas Baby
Merry Christmas baby
You surely treat me nice
Merry Christmas baby
You surely treat me nice
Bought me a diamond ring
For Christmas
Got me feeling
Like paradise
Well I'm feeling mighty fine y'all
Got music on my radio
I'm feeling mighty fine y'all
Got music on my radio
I'm gonna hug and kiss you baby
Standing beneath that mistletoe
Santa came down the chimney
'Bout half past three
Left all those pretty presents
For my baby and me
Merry Christmas baby
Sure you're good
To me
And I'll always love you baby
I'm as happy
As I can be
Santa came down the chimney
And half past three
Left all those pretty present
For my honey and me
Merry Christmas baby
You surely treat me nice
Bought me a diamond ring
For Christmas
Got me feeling
Like paradise
And I just wanna say
Merry Christmas baby
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas baby
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
In Bethlehem in Jewry
This blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
The which His mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn
From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
Fear not then said the angel
Let nothing you affright
This day is born a Saviour
Of a pure virgin bright
To free all those who trust in Him
From Satan's pow'r and might
The shepherds at those tidings
Rejoiced much in mind
And left their flocks afeeding
In tempest storm and wind
And went to Bethlehem straightway
The blessed Babe to find
And when they came to Bethlehem
Where our dear Saviour lay
They found Him in a manger
Where oxen feed on hay
His mother Mary kneeling down
Unto the Lord did pray
Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christmas
All others doth deface
Joy to the World (Unspeakable Joy)
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 heav'n and nature sing
Joy to the earth the Savior reigns
Let all their songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat repeat the sounding joy
Joy unspeakable joy
An overflowing well
No tongue can tell
Joy unspeakable joy
It rises in my soul
Never lets me go
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 wonders of His love
