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 the winter wonderland
+
Later on, we'll conspire
+
As we dream by the fire
+
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
+
Walking, while we're walking
+
In a winter wonderland
+

I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm


The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing
+
But I can weather the storm!
+
What do I care how much it may storm?
+
I've got my love to keep me warm
+
I can't remember a worse December
+
Just watch those icicles form!
+
Oh, what do I care if icicles form?
+
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm
+
[Chorus]
+
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
+
I need no overcoat; I'm burning with love!
+
My heart's on fire; the flame grows higher
+
So I will weather the storm!
+
What do I care how much it may storm?
+
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm
+
The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing
+
But I can weather the storm!
+
What do I care how much it may storm?
+
I've got my love to keep me warm
+
I can't remember a worse December
+
Just watch those icicles form!
+
What do I care if icicles form?
+
I've got my love to keep me warm
+
[Chorus]
+
The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing
+
But I can weather the storm, storm, storm
+
What do I care how much it may storm?
+
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm

Zat You Santa Claus?


'Zat You, Santa Claus?
+
Gifts I'm preparing for some Christmas sharing,
+
But I pause because,
+
Hanging my stocking I can hear a knocking.
+
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
+
Sure is dark out, ain't the slightest spark out.
+
'Pon my slackened jaw!
+
Who's there? Who is it stopping for a visit?
+
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
+
Are you bringing a present for me,
+
Something pleasantly pleasant for me?
+
Then it's just what I've been waiting for.
+
Would you mind slipping it under the door?
+
Cold winds are howling, or could that be growling?
+
My legs feel like straws.
+
My my oh me my, kindly would you reply?
+
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
+
Hanging the stocking, I can hear a knocking.
+
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
+
I say, who's there, who is it? Are you stopping for a visit?
+
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
+
Oh there, Santa, you gave me a scare.
+
Now stop teasing cause I know you're there.
+
We don't believe in no goblins today,
+
But I can't explain why I'm shaking that way.
+
Bet I can see ole Santa in the keyhole.
+
I'll get to the cause.
+
One peek and I'll try there; oh oh, there's an eye there!
+
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
+
Please, please, pity my knees!
+
Say that's you, Santa Claus!

Christmas In New Orleans


Magnolia trees at night, sparkling bright
+
Fields of cotton look wintry white
+
When it's Christmas time in New Orleans
+
A barefoot choir in prayer fills the air
+
Mississippi folks gathering there
+
'Cause it's Christmas time in New Orleans
+
You'll see a Dixieland Santa Claus
+
Leading the band to a good old Creole beat
+
Golly, what a spirit, you can only hear it
+
Down on Basin Street
+
Your kids will disappear, when you hear
+
Hallelujah, St. Nicholas is here
+
When it's Christmas time in New Orleans
+
You'll see a Dixieland Santa Claus
+
A leading the band to a good, good old Creole beat
+
And golly, what a spirit and you can only hear it
+
A down on Basin Street
+
Your kids will disappear and when you hear
+
Hallelujah, old Santa is near
+
When it's Christmas time in New Orleans
+
Yes, when it's Christmas time
+
It's Christmas time in New Orleans
+

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

Baby Its Cold Outside


I really can't stay
+
(But baby, it's cold outside)
+
I've got to go away
+
(But baby, it's cold outside)
+
This evening has been
+
(Been hoping that you'd drop in)
+
So very nice
+
(I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice)
+
My mother will start to worry
+
(Beautiful, what's your hurry?)
+
My father will be pacing the floor
+
(Listen to the fireplace roar)
+
So really I'd better scurry
+
(Beautiful, please don't hurry)
+
But maybe just a half a drink more
+
(Put some records on while I pour)
+
The neighbors might think
+
(Baby, it's bad out there)
+
Say, what's in this drink?
+
(No cabs to be had out there)
+
I wish I knew how
+
(Your eyes are like starlight)
+
To break this spell
+
(I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)
+
I ought to say no, no, no, sir
+
(Mind if I move in closer?)
+
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
+
(What's the sense in hurting my pride?)
+
I really can't stay
+
(Baby, don't hold out)
+
Oh, but it's cold outside
+
I simply must go
+
(But baby, it's cold outside)
+
The answer is no
+
(But baby, it's cold outside)
+
This welcome has been
+
(How lucky that you dropped in)
+
So nice and warm
+
(Look out the window at that storm)
+
My sister will be suspicious
+
(Gosh, your lips look delicious
+
My brother will be there at the door
+
(Waves upon a tropical shore)
+
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
+
(Ooh, your lips are delicious)
+
But maybe just a cigarette more
+
(Never such a blizzard before)
+
I've got to get home
+
(But baby, you'll freeze out there)
+
Say, lend me your coat
+
(It's up to your knees out there)
+
You've really been grand
+
(I thrill when you touch my hand)
+
But don't you see
+
(How can you do this thing to me?)
+
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
+
(Think of my life long sorrow)
+
At least there will be plenty implied
+
(If you caught pneumonia and died)
+
I really can't stay
+
(Get over that hold out)
+
Oh, but it's cold outside

Moments to Remember


January to December, we'll have moments to remember
+
The New Year's Eve we did the town
+
The day we tore the goal post down
+
We'll have these moments to remember
+
The quiet walks, the noisy fun
+
The ballroom prize we almost won
+
We will have these moments to remember
+
Though summer turns to winter
+
And the present disappears
+
The laughter we were glad to share
+
Will echo through the years
+
When other nights and other days
+
May find us gone our separate ways
+
We will have these moments to remember
+
The drive in movie where we'd go
+
And somehow never watched the show
+
We will have these moments to remember
+
When other nights and other days
+
May find us gone our separate ways
+
We will have these moments to remember
+
The drive in movie where we'd go
+
And somehow never watched the show
+
We will have these moments to remember

I see trees of green

Red roses too
+
I see them bloom
+
For me and you
+
And I think to myself
+
What a wonderful world
+
I see skies of blue
+
And clouds of white
+
The bright blessed day
+
The dark sacred night
+
And I think to myself
+
What a wonderful world
+
The colors of the rainbow
+
So pretty in the sky
+
Are also on the faces
+
Of people going by
+
I see friends shaking hands
+
Saying, "How do you do?"
+
They're really saying
+
I love you
+
I hear babies cry
+
I watch them grow
+
They'll learn much more
+
Than I'll ever know
+
And I think to myself
+
What a wonderful world
+
Yes, I think to myself
+
What a wonderful world
+
Ooh, yes
+

A Visit From St. Nicholas ('Twas The Night Before Christmas)


Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
+
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
+
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
+
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there
+
The children were nestled all snug in their beds
+
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads
+
And mama in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap
+
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap
+
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
+
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter
+
Away to the window I flew like a flash
+
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash
+
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
+
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below
+
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear
+
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tinny reindeer
+
With a little old driver, so lively and quick
+
I knew in a moment it must be St Nick
+
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came
+
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!
+
"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
+
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!
+
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
+
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"
+
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly
+
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky
+
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew
+
With the sleigh full of Toys, and St Nicholas too
+
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
+
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof
+
As I drew in my head, and was turning around
+
Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound
+
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot
+
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot
+
A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back
+
And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack
+
His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
+
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
+
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow
+
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow
+
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth
+
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath
+
He had a broad face and a little round belly
+
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!
+
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf
+
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!
+
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
+
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread
+
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work
+
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk
+
And laying his finger aside of his nose
+
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!
+
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle
+
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle
+
But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of sight
+
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"
+
