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.

Toll 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.

 

Frosty the Snowman

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

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

I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don't want a doll
No donkey tinker toy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

 

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you
He won't have to use
A dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door
That's the easy thing to do

 

I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh, a joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there

 

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles
No rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too

 

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
My mom says a hippo would eat me up but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian

 

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
There's lots of room for him
In our two-car garage
I'd feed him there
And wash him there
And give him his massage

 

I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh, a joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there

 

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles
Or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Everywhere you go

Take a look at the five and ten

It's glistening once again

With candy canes and silver lanes aglow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Toys in every store

But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be

On your own front door

A pair of hop-a-long boots and a pistol that shoots

Is the wish of Barney and Ben

Dolls that'll 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

Everywhere you go

There's a tree in the grand hotel, one in the park as well

It's 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

Jingle Bells

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

[CHORUS] Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

Joy to the World

Joy to the world! the Lord is come;

Let earth receive her King;

Let every heart prepare him room,

And heaven and nature sing,

And heaven and nature sing,

And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns;

Let men their songs employ;

While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains

Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,

Nor thorns infest the ground;

He comes to make His blessings flow

Far as the curse is found,

Far as the curse is found,

Far as, far as, the curse is found.

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.

O, Christmas Tree

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches!
Not only green in summer’s heat,
But also winter’s snow and sleet.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
Of all the trees most lovely;
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
Of all the trees most lovely.
Each year you bring to us delight
With brightly shining Christmas light!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
Of all the trees most lovely.

 

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

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

He's making a list, and checkin' it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town

 

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

 

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

 

The kids in girl and boy land
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toy land town
All around the Christmas tree

 

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

Silent Night

Silent night! Holy night!

All is calm, all is bright

round yon Virgin Mother and Child,

Holy infant so tender and mild,

sleep in Heavenly peace!

sleep in Heavenly peace!

Silent night! Holy night!

Shepherds quake at the sight;

glories stream from Heaven afar,

Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,

Christ, the Saviour, is born!

Christ, the Saviour, is born!

Silver Bells

City sidewalks,
busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there’s a
feeling of Christmas

Children laughing,
people passing
Meeting smile after smile
and on every street corner
you’ll hear

[CHORUS] Silver bells, silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
