Songs
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.
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
fit us for heaven, to live with thee there.
Deck The Halls
Deck
the halls with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la,
la-la-la-la
'Tis
the season to be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la,
la-la-la-la
Don
we now our gay apparel
Fa-la-la,
la-la-la, la-la-la.
Troll
the ancient Yule-tide carol
Fa-la-la-la-la,
la-la-la-la.
See
the blazing Yule before us.
Fa-la-la-la-la,
la-la-la-la
Strike
the harp and join the chorus.
Fa-la-la-la-la,
la-la-la-la
Follow
me in merry measure.
Fa-la-la-la-la,
la-la-la-la
While
I tell of Yule-tide treasure.
Fa-la-la-la-la,
la-la-la-la
Fast
away the old year passes.
Fa-la-la-la-la,
la-la-la-la
Hail
the new year, lads and lasses
Fa-la-la-la-la,
la-la-la-la
Sing
we joyous, all together.
Fa-la-la-la-la,
la-la-la-la
heedless
of the wind and weather.
Fa-la-la-la-la,

Frosty the
Snow Man
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 head
he
began to dance around
Ohhhhh
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
Thumpetty
thump thump
thumpety
thump thump
Look
at Frosty go
Thumpetty
thump thump
thumpety
thump thump
Over
the hills of snow
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!"
For
Frosty the snow man
had
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
Here Comes
Santa Claus
Here
comes Santa Claus!
Here
comes Santa Claus!
Right
down Santa Claus Lane!
Vixen
and Blitzen and all his reindeer
are
pulling on the reins.
Bells
are ringing, children singing;
All
is merry and bright.
Hang
your stockings and say your prayers,
'Cause
Santa Claus comes tonight.
Here
comes Santa Claus!
Here
comes Santa Claus!
Right
down Santa Claus Lane!
He's
got a bag that is filled with toys
for
the boys and girls again.
Hear
those sleigh bells jingle jangle,
What
a beautiful sight.
Jump
in bed, cover up your head,
'Cause
Santa Claus comes tonight.
Holly Jolly
Christmas
Have
a holly, jolly Christmas;
It's
the best time of the year
I don't
know if there'll be snow
but
have a cup of cheer
Have
a holly, jolly Christmas;
And
when you walk down the street
Say
Hello to friends you know
and
everyone you meet
Oh!
ho! the mistletoe
hung
where you can see;
Somebody
waits for you;
Kiss
her once for me
Have
a holly jolly Christmas
and
in case you didn't hear
Oh
by golly
have
a holly jolly Christmas this year
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
Let It Snow!
Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
< font color="#FF6600"> 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've bought some corn for popping
The
lights are turned way down low
Let
It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
When
we finally kiss goodnight
How
I'll hate going out in the storm!
But
if you'll really hold me tight
All
the way home I'll be warm
The
fire is slowly dying
And,
my dear, we're still goodbying
But
as long as you love me so
Let
It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Grandma Got
Run Over By A Reindeer
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 drinkin' too much egg nog,
And
we'd begged her not to go.
But
she'd left her medication,
So
she stumbled out the door into the snow.
When
they found her Christmas mornin',
At
the scene of the attack.
There
were hoof prints on her forehead,
And
incriminatin' Claus marks on her back.
Grandma
go run over by a reindeer,
Walkin'
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 takin' this so well.
See
him in there watchin' football,
Drinkin'
beer and playin' cards with cousin Belle.
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,
Walkin'
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 pig.
And
a blue and silver candle,
That
would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig.
I've
warned all my friends and neighbours.
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,
Walkin'
home from our house, Christmas eve.
You
can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But
as for me and Grandpa, we believe.
