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.
_______________________________________________________
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.
CHRISTMAS SONG
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose.
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like eskimoes.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe,
Helps to make a season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all a glow,
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way.
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh,
And every mother's child is going to spy,
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
To kids from one to ninety two.
Although it's been said, may times, many ways;
Merry Christmas to you!
[repeat]
IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK ALOT LIKE CHRISTMAS
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.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go;
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel,
One in the park as well,
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.
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.
THE FIRST NOEL
1) The first Nowell, the angels 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. [CHORUS]
_______________________________________________________
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell,
born is the King of Israel.
_______________________________________________________
2) They looked above 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. [CHORUS]
_______________________________________________________
3) And by the light of that same star
three sages came from country far;
To seek for a king was their intent,
and to follow the star wherever it went. [CHORUS]
_______________________________________________________
4) This star shone bright in the northwest,
o'er Bethlehem it seemed to rest,
And there it did both stop and stay,
right over the place where Jesus lay. [CHORUS]
_______________________________________________________
5) Then entered in those magi three,
and bending low upon their knees,
They offered there, in great reverence,
their gold and myrrh and frankincense. [CHORUS]

JINGLE BELLS
1) Dashing through the snow,
In a one-horse open sleigh,
O'er 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]
_______________________________________________________
CHORUS:
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, O
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
*******************************************************
2) 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,
We ran into a drifted bank,
And there we got upsot. [chorus]
*******************************************************
3) Now the ground is white,
Go it while you're young,
Take the girls along,
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]
