​

1. 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!

 

He's making a list,

And checking it twice,

Gonna find out,

Who's naughty or nice.

Santa Claus is coming to town!

 

He sees you when you're sleeping,

He knows when you're awake.

He knows if you've been bad or good,

So be good for goodness sake!

 

Oh...

You better watch out,

You better not cry

You better not pout,

I'm telling you why...

Santa Claus is coming to town!

2. Winter Wonderland

 

Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin',

In the lane, snow is glistenin'

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.

 

In the meadow we can build a snowman,

And pretend that he's a circus clown

We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,

Until the other kiddies knock him down.

 

When it snows, ain't it thrillin',

Though your nose gets a chillin'

We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,

Walking in a winter wonderland.

 

Walking in a winter wonderland, Walking in a winter wonderland.

3. Frosty The Snowman

 

Frosty the Snowman

Was a jolly happy soul

With a corncob pipe and a button nose

And two eyes made 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

 

Oh, 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

 

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

 

Oh, 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

 

​

​

4. White Christmas

 

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Just like the ones I used to know

Where the treetops glisten

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 and bright

And may all your Christmases be white

 

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Just like the ones I used to know

Where the treetops glisten

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 and bright

And may all your Christmases be white

​

​

5. 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

Over the hills 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

​

​

6. Merry Christmas Everybody (Slade)

 

 

Are you hanging up your stocking on the wall?

It's the time that every Santa has a ball

 

Does he ride a red-nosed reindeer?

Does a ton-up on his sleigh?

Do the fairies keep him sober for the day?

 

So here it is, Merry Christmas, everybody’s having fun

Look to the future now, it’s only just begun

 

Are you waiting for the family to arrive?

Are you sure you got the room to spare inside?

 

Does your granny always tell ya

That the old songs are the best?

Then she's up and rock and rollin' with the rest

 

So here it is, Merry Christmas, everybody’s having fun

Look to the future now, it’s only just begun

 

What will your daddy do

When he sees your mama kissin' Santa Claus? Ah-ha

 

Are you hanging up your stocking on the wall?

Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall?

 

Do you ride on down the hillside

In a buggy you have made

And land upon your head, then you been slayed?

 

So here it is, Merry Christmas, everybody’s having fun

Look to the future now, it’s only just begun

 

IT’S CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

7. When Santa Got Stuck Up The Chimney

 

 

When Santa got stuck the chimney he began to shout

"You girls and boys won't get any toys

If you don't pull me out

 

My beard is black

There's soot in my sack

My nose is tickling too!"

 

When Santa got stuck up the chimney

A-choo, a-choo, a-choo!

8. I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday (Wizzard)

 

When the snowman brings the snow

Well he just might like to know

He's put a great big smile on somebody's face

If you jump into your bed, quickly cover up your head

Don't you lock the doors

You know that sweet Santa Claus is on the way

 

Well I wish it could be Christmas everyday

When the kids start singing and the band begins to play

Oh I wish it could be Christmas everyday

Let the bells ring out for Christmas

 

When we're skating in the park

If the storm cloud paints it dark

Then your rosy cheeks gonna light my merry way

Now the frosticles appear and they've frozen up my beard

So we'll lie by the fire till the sleep simply melts them all away

 

Well I wish it could be Christmas everyday

When the kids start singing and the band begins to play

Oh I wish it could be Christmas everyday

So let the bells ring out for Christmas

 

When the snowman brings the snow

Well he just might like to know

He's put a great big smile on somebody's face

So if Santa brings that sleigh, all along the milky way

I'll sign my name on the rooftop in the snow

Then he may decide to stay

 

Well I wish it could be Christmas everyday

When the kids start singing and the band begins to play

Oh I wish it could be Christmas everyday

So let the bells ring out for Christmas

9. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

 

 

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight

 

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yule-tide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away

 

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

 

Through the years we all will be together, if the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

 

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

 

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

10. Merry Christmas Everyone - Shakin’ Steven’s

 

Snow is falling all around me

Children playing, having fun

It's the season, love and understanding

Merry Christmas everyone

 

Time for parties and celebration

People dancing all night long

Time for presents and exchanging kisses

Time for singing Christmas songs

 

We're gonna have a party tonight

I'm gonna find that girl

Underneath the mistletoe

We'll kiss by candlelight

 

Room is swaying, records playing

All the songs, we love to hear

All I wish that everyday was Christmas

What a nice way to spend the year

 

We're gonna have a party tonight

I'm gonna find that girl

Underneath the mistletoe

We'll kiss by candlelight

 

Snow is falling all around me

Children playing, having fun

It's the season, love and understanding

Merry Christmas everyone

Merry Christmas everyone

Ooh, Merry Christmas everyone

11. Last Christmas - (Wham)

 

 

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year To save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

 

Once bitten and twice shy

I keep my distance but you still catch my eye

Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?

Well, it's been a year it doesn't surprise me

 

Merry Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it

With a note saying "I love you” I meant it

Now I know what a fool I've been

But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again

 

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

 

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes

I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice

My god, I thought you were someone to rely on

Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

 

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

A man under cover, but you tore me apart

Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

 

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

13. Rocking Around The Christmas Tree - Brenda Lee

 

 

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

At the Christmas party hop

Mistletoe hung where you can see

Every couple tries to stop

 

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

Let the Christmas spirit ring

Later, we'll have some pumpkin pie

And we'll do some caroling

 

You will get a sentimental feelin' when you hear

Voices singing "Let's be jolly"

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

 

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

Have a happy holiday

Everyone dancin' merrily in the new old-fashioned way

 

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear

Voices singing "Let's be jolly"

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

 

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

Have a happy holiday

Everyone dancin' merrily in the new old-fashioned way

14. Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer

 

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

Had a very shiny nose

And if you ever saw it

You would 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

 

​

​

15. Let It Snow

 

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 brought me some corn for popping

The lights are turned way down low

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

 

When we finally said goodnight

How I 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 ‘goodbye-ing’

But as long as you'd love me so

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

17. All I Want For Christmas Is You (Mariah Carey)

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

All I want for Christmas is you, baby…
