Jingle Bells
James Pierpont - 1857
Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go, laughing all the way;
Bells on bob-tail ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight


Chorus
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh


A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright, was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot;
He got into a drifted bank and we got upsot
(Chorus)


A day or two ago, the story I must tell
I went out on the snow, and on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by, in a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed as there I sprawling lie but quickly drove away
(Chorus)

Now the ground is white, go it while you're young
Take the girls tonight, and sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bob-tailed bay, two-forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! you'll take the lead
(Chorus)

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
~ 1953 Version | 1959 Version |
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose,
and if you ever saw it,
you could 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 how the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
You'll go down in history."

< instrumental break >

You know Dasher an' Dancer,
an' Prancer an' Vixen,
Comet an' Cupid, an' Donner an' Blitzen,
but do you recall
the most famous reindeer of all?

< instrumental break >

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say:
"Why, Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
You'll go down, down, down, down, down,
in history."

Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town
1946 Version | 1959 Version |

You better watch out, better not cry
better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town!

He's makin' a list an' checkin' it twice
gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town!

He sees you when you're sleepin'
he knows when you're awake
he knows if you've been bad or good
so be good for goodness sake!

So, you better watch out, you better not cry
better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town!

Say Perry,
somebody's ringin' the front doorbell,
shall I answer it?
Oh tell em to go away Helen
we've got to decorate this Christmas tree!
Where do I connect the lights Perry?
Artie, all you have to do is put the thing in a plug!
Say Perry, I can't find a train switch,
know where it is?
Bobby, the train switch is always
where it's always been!
Hey Perry, what do ya want for Christmas?
Now wait a minute, where are you going?
Oh I'm going out to give a few haircuts,
you kids go ahead and sing
I'll be right back!

You better watch out, better not cry
better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Oh! Santa Claus is comin' to town!

He's makin' a list an' checkin' it twice
gonna find out who's naughty an' nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town!

He sees you when you're sleepin'
he knows when you're awake
he knows if you've been bad or good
so be good for goodness sake!

So, you better watch out, you better not cry
better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town!

Santa Claus is comin'
to town!

Silent Night
Silent Night ~ 1946 Version
Silent night Holy night
All is calm all is bright
'Round yon virgin Mother an' Child
Holy infant so tender an' mild
Sleep in heav'nly peace
Sleep in heav'nly peace

Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heav'nly hosts sing Alleluia ( Alleluia! )
Christ the Saviour is born;
Christ the Saviour is born.

Christ the Saviour . . .
is born ( Alleluia! )

Silent night ( silent night! ) holy night ( holy night! )
Son of God, love's pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth;
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

White Christmas
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 car I write.
May your days be merry an' bright
and may all your Christmas's 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 ( 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 an' bright
and may all your Christmas's be white!

( . . . may all your Christmas's be white! )

Words and Music by
Irving Berlin

I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
I saw Mommy tickle 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.
