A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector Album Lyrics

White Christmas

(Darlene Love)

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, 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

The sun is shining, the grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway
There's never been such a day in whole L.A.
But it's December the twenty-fourth
And I am longing to be up north
So I can have my very own white Christmas
Oh yeah

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, be white

Frosty the Snowman

(The Ronettes)

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.

O, 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.

He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop.
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler "Stop!"

Frosty the snow man
Had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye saying,
"Don't you cry, I'll be back again some day."

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh yeah

The Bells of St. Mary

(Bob B. Soxx & The Blue Jeans)

The bells of St Mary's
Ah, hear they are calling
The young loves, the true loves
That come from the sea

And so my beloved
When red leaves are falling
The love bells shall ring out
The love bells shall ring out
For you and me

The bells of St Mary's
Ah, hear they are calling
The young loves, the true loves
That come from the sea

And so my beloved
When red leaves are falling
The love bells shall ring out, yeah, yeah
The love bells shall ring out, yeah, yeah
The love bells shall ring out
For you and me

Santa Claus Is Coming to Town

(The Crystals)

Jimmy, 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,

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

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

He's making a list and checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
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
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
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
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Sleigh Ride

(The Ronettes)

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring tingle tingling too (ring-a-ling-a ding-dong-ding!)

Marshmallow World

(Darlene Love)

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 all year round!

Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly,
In the arms of the evergreen trees;
And the sun is red like a pumpkin's head,
It's shining so your nose won't freeze!

The world is your snowball, see how it grows,
That's how it goes, whenever it snows.
The world is your snowball just for a song,
Get out and roll it along!

It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date, what if spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world

The world is your snowball, see how it grows,
That's how it goes, whenever it snows.
The world is your snowball just for a song,
Get out and roll it along!

It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts,
Take a walk with your favorite girl.
It's a sugar date, so what if spring is late,

In winter it's a marshmallow world!
In winter it's a marshmallow world!
In winter it's a marshmallow world!

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

(The Ronettes)

I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night.
She didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep;
She thought that I was tucked
Up in my bedroom fast asleep.

Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white;
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white;
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

(The Crystals)

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

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
You'll go down in history

Winter Wonderland

(Darlene Love)

Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is the new bird
He's singing our song, as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Carson 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 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 Mr.Snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down

When it snows, ain't it thrillin'
Though you know, kids are chillin'
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland (wo oh oh)
Walking in a winter wonderland (wo oh oh)
Walking in a winter wonderland (wo oh oh)
Walking in a winter wonderland (wo oh oh)
Walking in a winter wonderland (wo oh oh)
Walking in a winter wonderland

Parade of the Wooden Soldiers

(The Crystals)

The toy shop door is locked up tight
And everything is quiet for the night
When suddenly the clock strikes twelve, the fun's begun

The dolls are in their best arrayed
There's going to be a wonderful parade
Hark to the drum, "oh here they come" cries everyone

Hear them all cheering, now they are nearing
There's the captain stiff as starch
Bayonets flashing, music is crashing
As the wooden soldiers march

Sabers a-clinking, soldiers a-winking at each pretty little maid
Here they come, here they come
Here they come, here they come
Wooden soldiers on parade

The toy shop door is locked up tight
And everything is quiet for the night
When suddenly the clock strikes twelve, the fun's begun

The dolls are in their best arrayed
There's going to be a wonderful parade
Hark to the drum, oh here they come cries everyone

Hear them all cheering, now they are nearing
There's the captain stiff as starch
Bayonets flashing, music is crashing
As the wooden soldiers march

Hear them all cheering, now they are nearing
There's the captain stiff as starch
Bayonets flashing, music is crashing
As the wooden soldiers march

Hear them all cheering, now they are nearing
There's the captain stiff as starch

Christmas Baby Please Come Home

(Darlene Love)

(Christmas)
The snow's coming down
(Christmas)
I'm watching it fall
(Christmas)
Lots of people around
(Christmas)
Baby please come home

(Christmas)
The church bells in town
(Christmas)
All ringing in song
(Christmas)
Full of happy sounds
(Christmas)
Baby please come home

They're singing "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
'Cause I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

(Christmas)
Pretty lights on the tree
(Christmas)
I'm watching them shine
(Christmas)
You should be here with me
(Christmas)
Baby please come home

They're singing "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
'Cause I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

(Christmas)
If there was a way
(Christmas)
I'd hold back this tear
(Christmas)
But it's Christmas day
Please, please, please, please
Please, please, please, please
Please, please, please, please
Please, please
Baby, please come home
(Christmas)
Baby, please come home
(Christmas)
Baby, please come home
(Christmas)
Baby, please come home
(Christmas)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Christmas)
(Christmas)
Please come home
(Christmas)

Here Comes Santa Claus

(Bob B. Soxx & The Blue Jeans)

Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus Lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer pulling on the reins

Bells are ringing, children singing
All is merry and bright
Hang your stockings and say your prayers
'Cause Santa Claus is coming tonight

Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus Lane
He's got a bag that is filled with toys for the boys and girls again

Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle
What a beautiful sight
Jump in bed, cover up your head
'Cause Santa Claus is coming tonight

Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus Lane
He doesn't care if you're a rich or poor
He loves you just the same

Santa knows that we're God's children
That makes everything right
Fill your hears with Christmas cheer
'Cause Santa is coming tonight

Silent Night

(Phil Spector, Bob B. Soxx & The Blue Jeans, Darlene Love, The Crystals & The Ronettes)

Hello, this is Phil Spector, it is so difficult at this time
To say words that would express my feelings
About the album to which you have just listened
An album that has been in the planning for many, many months

First, let me thank all the people who worked so hard with me
In the production of this album and in my endeavor and desire
To bring something new and different to the music of Christmas
And to the recording industry which is so much a part of my life

Of course, the biggest thanks goes to you
For giving me the opportunity to relate my feelings
Of Christmas through the music that I love

At this moment, I am very proud of all the artists
And on behalf of all of them, The Crystals, The Ronettes
Darlene Love, Bobby Soxx and the Blue Jeans, and myself

May we wish you the very merriest of Christmases
And the happiest of New Years, and thank you so very much
For letting us spend this Christmas with you

(Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace)
