(Lyrics to the Full Album on one page)

Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree

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 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

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

Papa Noel

Hey Beau, let's go and get pirogue and push-pole down the bayou,
I want to see the Christmas Tree, dance o- fais dodo
Have a big time and cut a shine, where all will be gay-o
Oh, Santa Claus will come tonight, down on the bayou
Papa Noel will bring the bells and all will be gay-o
I'm gonna be at the Christmas tree with my ma chère ami-o
So ring the chimes, it's Christmas time and pick the old banjo
Oh, Santa Claus will come tonight, down on the bayou

See ma Nannan and ma Parrain, I know they'll all be there-o,
See Ol' Quelqu'un and Mamoun, Bébé and Jo-Jo,
See Jolivet oh my sweet pet and get me some sugar,
Oh, Santa Claus will come tonight, down on the bayou

So roll the rug, let's kiss and hug and let's all be gay-o,
A merry Christmas to you all and a happy bonne année-o
I'm gonna dance all through the night, 'til daylight with my babe-o,

So ring the chimes, it's Christmas time and pick the old banjo
Oh, Santa Claus will come tonight, down on the bayou

This Time Of The Year

Little girls and little boys
Dream of worlds full of toys
This time of the year
When Christmas is near

Oh, evergreens are snowy white
Sleigh bells ring through the night
This time of the year
When Christmas is near

And somewhere near a steeple
People kneel and pray
And choirs sing carols
Of Christmas Day

Yes, Santa Claus is on his way
With loads of joy on his sleigh
This time of the year
When Christmas is near

Santa Claus is on his way
With loads of joy on his sleigh
This time of the year
When Christmas is near

Jingle Bell Rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in jingle bell square
In the frosty air

What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one horse sleigh

Giddy up, jingle horse pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and mingle in a jinglin' beat
That's the jingle bell rock

Jing, jing, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in jingle bell square
In the frosty air

What a bright time, it's the right time
We're gonna rock the night away
Jingle bell time, it's a swell time
To go glidin' in a one horse sleigh, hey

Giddy up, jingle horse pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and mingle in a jinglin' beat
That's the jingle bell, that's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell rock

Christy Christmas (Single Version)

Santa's got a brand new helper, you're the first one to be told.
He wears a hat that's trimmed with fur and his boots are made of gold.
His name is Christy Christmas, he's cute as he can be.
He's made of wood cause Santa carved him from a Christmas tree

Christy Christmas is loading Santa's sleigh
He'll hitch up all the reindeer and will soon be on their way
Christy Christmas is Santa's pride and joy
He picks out all the presents fro each little girl and boy

Perhaps you'll get a toyland playground full of skates and kiddy cars
it has a great big slide for you to ride and swings that hang from stars
Christy Christmas will make your dreams come true
And you'll love Christy Christmas just as much as he loves you

Christy Christmas will bring you pretty toys
like talkin dolls for little girls and choo choo trains for boys
Christy Christmas will serve good things to eat
He'll give your little tummy tum a cake and candy treat.

Before you go to bed this Christmas
better leave a snack or two
There will be someone else with Santa
when he comes to visit you
Christy Christmas they'll make into a toy
and all you children soon can play with Santa's little boy.

I'm Gonna Lasso Santa Claus (Single Version)

I'm gonna lasso Santa Claus
And I know just why because
I'm gonna pull, pull, pull, on his beard
Pull, pull, to see if it's real

I'm gonna tick, tick, tickle him on the tummy
Because he laughs so funny
He's so jolly and so fine
When he comes around on Christmas time

I'm gonna lasso Santa Claus
And the reason is because
I know a boy and girl he never goes see
He never brings 'em toys like he does for me

I'm gonna pop, pop Santa Claus
With my water pistol gun
And then I'll take his bags of toys and run
And bring to all the kids who don't have none

I'm gonna lasso Santa Claus
And I know just why because
I'm gonna pull, pull, pull, on his beard
Pull, pull, to see if it's real

I'm gonna tick, tick, tickle him on the tummy
Because he laughs so funny
He's so jolly and so fine
When he comes around on Christmas time

I'm gonna lasso Santa Claus
And the reason is because
I know a boy and girl he never goes see
He never brings 'em toys like he does for me

I'm gonna pop, pop Santa Claus
With my water pistol gun
And then I'll take his bags of toys and run
And bring to all the kids who don't have none

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
We'll pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are you married?"
We'll say, "No, man but you can do the job
While you're in town"

Later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire
We'll face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland

Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
We'll 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
We'll face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland

Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland

Silver Bells

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

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 hear

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

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

I just came back from a lovely trip along the Milky Way
Stopped off at the North Pole to spend a holiday
I called on dear old Santa Claus
To see what I could see
He took me to his workshop
And told his plans to me, so

[Chorus]
You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's making a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He sees you when you're sleepin'
He knows when you're a wake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Oh! You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town
And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas tree
So! You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town

Now Santa is a busy man, He has no time to play
He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas day
You'd better write your letter now
And mail it right away
Because he's getting ready
His reindeer's and his sleigh. So

[Chorus]

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town
And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas tree
So! You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town

The Angel And The Little Blue Bell

(MacRae)

At Christmas time in the steeple high
The bells would proudly ring
To tell the world of the joy and cheer
That Christmas day would bring
But one little bell in the steeple high
Could only pain alone and cry
No matter hard he try and try
Poor little thing he couldn't ring at all

All the other bells in the steeple high
Saw all his lonely tears
And watched him tried his best to ring
Each Christmas through the years
But the little blue bell in the steeple tower
Just cry for Christmas pain to call
For like I said inspite of all
Poor little thing he couldn't ring at all

One Christmas eve in the steeple high
An angel did appear
She smiled and said to the little blue bell
I've come to dry yours tears and on that night
So the story's told, she changed the little blue bell
To the purest gold with the richest tone
To hold and hold
Proud little thing
Just hear him ring

Frosty The Snowman

Frosty the snowman
Was a jolly, happy soul
With the corn cup hat and 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 all around

Oh, frosty the snowman
Was as alive as he could be
And the children say, he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me

Frosty the snowman
Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said, "Let's run and have some fun
Before I melt away"

Down to the village
With the broom-stick in his hand
Running here and there all around that square
Saying, "Catch me if you can"

He led them down the street of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him howler, "Stop"

For Frosty the snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye, saying, "Please don't cry
I'll be back again someday"

Thumpdy, thump, thump, thumpdy, thump, thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpdy, thump, thump, thumpdy, thump, thump
Over the hills of snow

Christmas Will Be Just Another Lonely Day

It's Christmas Eve, and snow is on the ground
Mistletoe and holly all around
Yes, all the world is happy, but since you went away
My Christmas will be just another lonely day
Yeah, another lonely day, yeah

My tree is trimmed with pretty colored lights
And at the top, the Christmas star shines bright
Yes, everything around me is very bright and gay
But Christmas will be just another lonely day
Yeah, another lonely day, yeah

I had a lonely September, October, November, too
But December is twice as lonely without you

For soon it will be time for Santa Claus
And surely he will bring you back, because
Without you here beside me, my world will be so gray
And Christmas will be just another lonely day
Yeah, another lonely day, yeah
Another lonely day, yeah
Another lonely day, yeah

Blue Christmas

I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of gray on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing, dear
If you're not here with me

I'll have a blue Christmas that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be do with alright with your Christmas of white
But I have a blue, blue Christmas

(I'll have a blue Christmas that's certain)
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be do with alright with your Christmas of white
But I have a blue, blue Christmas

A Marshmallow World

[Chorus]
It's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year around

Now those marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the ever green trees
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose won't freeze

Oh, the world is your snowball, see how it grows
That's how it grows whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for our soul
So get up and roll it along

It's a yum yummy world, made for sweet hearts
Take a walk with your favorite guy
It's a sugar date, what a spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world

[Chorus]

Those marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the ever-green-trees
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose won't freeze

Oh, the world is your snowball, see how it grows
That's how it grows whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for our soul
You better get up and roll it along

Oh, it's a yumm yummy world, made for sweet hearts
Take a walk with your favorite guy
It's a sugar date, what a spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world

It's a marshmallow world
It's a snow covered world
It's yummy, yummy world
It's a marshmallow world

Strawberry Snow

Sleep with your spoon in your pillow
Don't be the witch that bends the Willow
No matter how old you are
Morning may bring, Strawberry Snow

Little boys and girls make raindrops turn to Lemon
Then, little boys and girls turn into men and women
Those that are happy are those that still know
That morning may bring, Strawberry Snow

Smile though your heart has no reason

Drink everyday that's the season
Ask little children, they know
Morning may bring, Stawberry Snow

[Music]

Ask little children, they know
Morning may bring, Strawberry Snow

White Christmas (Album Version)

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
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
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

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

May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

And may all your Christmases be white (all your Christmases be white)
And may all your Christmases be white (all your Christmases be white)
And may all your Christmases be
(All your Christmases be white)
(All your Christmases be white)

Jingle Bells (Album Version)

I love those J-I-N-G-L-E bells
Those holiday J-I-N-G-L-E bells
Those happy J-I-N-G-L-E B-E, double-L-S
I love those J-I-N-G-L-E bells

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

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
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way

Bells on bob-tail ring
Making our spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight

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

I love those J-I-N-G-L-E bells
Those holiday J-I-N-G-L-E bells
Those happy J-I-N-G-L-E B-E, double-L-S
I love those jingle bells all the way

Silent Night (Album Version)

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 Hallelujah

Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born

(Silent night holy night)
(Son of God, Love's pure light)
Radiant beams from thy holy faith
With the dawn of redeeming grace

Jesus Lord at thy birth
Jesus Lord at thy birth
