Woman

Written by John Lennon
Performed by John Lennon

Woman
I can hardly express
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness
After all, I'm forever in your debt

And woman
I will try to express
My inner feelings and thankfulness
For showing me the meaning of success

Ooh-ooh, well-well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooh-ooh, well-well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Woman
I know you understand
The little child inside the man
Please remember, my life is in your hands

And woman
Hold me close to your heart
However distant, don't keep us apart
After all, it is written in the stars

Ooh-ooh, well-well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooh-ooh, well-well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

woman
Please let me explain
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain
So let me tell you again and again and again

I love you, yeah-yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah-yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah-yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah-yeah
Now and forever

I Believe

Written by Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne
Performed by Frank Sinatra

I believe, I believe,
I believe in wishing wells,
But I also believe in a lot of things,
things the daisy tells,
I believe, I believe that a four-leaf clover brings,
Lots of luck, lots of joy, lots of happiness,
I believe those things.

And when it's Christmas time I believe in Santa Claus,
Why do I believe, I guess that I believe because
I believe, I believe,
I believe that dreams come true,
If you wish for a dream by a wishing well,
Don't tell your wish or you'll break the spell,
It may sound naive, but that's what I believe.

And when it's Christmas, I try to believe in Santa Claus,
Why do I believe, I guess that I believe because
I believe, I believe,
I do believe that dreams come true,
And if you wish for a dream by the wishing well,
Don't you tell the wish or you'll break the spell,
It may sound naive, but that's what I happen to believe.

I gave you my heart

To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby

Well
If it's been a year
It doesn't surprise me

I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you"

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

And your soul of ice
My god I thought you were
Someone to rely on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Oh oh
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

Wasted Time

Written by Don Henley, Glenn Frey, and Jim Ed Norman
Performed by The Eagles


Well baby, there you stand
With your little head down in your hand
Oh my God, you can't believe it's happening again
Your baby's gone and you're all alone
And it looks like the end

Back out on the street
And you're trying to remember, oh
How do you start it over
You don't know if you can
You don't care much for a stranger's touch
But you can't hold your man

You never thought you'd be alone
This far down the line
But I know what's been on your mind
You're afraid it's all been wasted time

The autumn leaves have got you thinking
About the first time that you fell, fell
You didn't love the boy too much
No, no you just loved the boy too well, yeah

So you live from day to day
And you dream about tomorrow
And the hours go by like minutes
And the shadows come to stay
So you take a little something to make them go away

And I could have done so many things, baby
If I could only stop my mind
From wondering what I left behind
And from worrying about this wasted time

The love has come and gone
The years keep rushing on
I remember what you told me
Before you went out on your own
Sometimes to keep it together
You got to leave it alone

So you can get on with your search, baby
And I can get on with mine
Maybe someday we will find
That it wasn't really wasted time

Magic Man

Cold, late night so long ago
When I was not so strong you know
A pretty man came to me
I never seen eyes so blue
You know, I could not run away it seemed
We'd seen each other in a dream
Seemed like he knew me, he looked right through me, yeah

"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"You don't have to love me yet, let's get high awhile
But try to understand, try to understand
Try, try, try to understand, I'm a magic man"

Winter nights we sang in tune
Played inside the months of moon
"Never think of never let this spell last forever"
Well, summer lover passed to fall
Tried to realize it all
Mama says she's worried, growing up in a hurry

"Come on home, girl" Mama cried on the phone
"Too soon to lose my baby yet, my girl should be at home"
But try to understand, try to understand
Try, try, try to understand, he's a magic man, Mama, ah
He's a magic man

"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"I cast my spell of love on you, a woman from a child"
But try to understand, try to understand
Oh, oh, try, try, try to understand,
He's a magic man, oh, he's got the magic hands

Oh's over top

"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"You don't have to love me yet, let's get high awhile"
But try to understand, try to understand
Try, try, try to understand, he's a magic man, yeah, oh

Let there be not one stranger to away in a manger<
Let there be not one soul left untold
Let there be not one face unknown to the face of the one
Who will gather the foe

For Christ's sake, it's Christmas
So for Christ sake, let everyone know
They all have the choice, so lift up your voice

Christmas Time

Written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance
Performed by Bryan Adams


We waited all through the year
For the day to appear
When we could be together in harmony

You know the time will come
Peace on earth for everyone
And we can live forever in a world where we are free
Let it shine for you and me

There's something about Christmas time
Something about Christmas time
Makes you wish it was Christmas everyday
To see the joy in the children's eyes
The way that the old folks smile
Says that Christmas will never go away

We're all as one tonight
Makes no difference if you're black or white
'Cause we can sing together in harmony
I know it's not too late
The world would be a better place
If we could keep the spirit more than one day in the year
Send a message loud and clear

There's something about Christmas time
Something about Christmas time
That makes you wish it was Christmas every day
To see the joy in the children's eyes
The way that the old folks smile
Says that Christmas will never go away

It's the time of year everyone's together
And celebrate here on Christmas day
When the ones you love are there
You can feel the magic in the air, you know it's everywhere

There's something about Christmas time
There's something about Christmas time

There's something about Christmas time
Something about Christmas time
Makes you wish it was Christmas every day
To see the joy in the children's eyes
The way that the old folks smile
Says that Christmas will never go away

There's something about Christmas time
Something about Christmas time
Makes you wish it was Christmas every day
To see the joy in the children's eyes
The way that the old folks smile
Says that Christmas will never go away

Please tell me Christmas will never go away

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

Writtten by Charles Wesley, George Whitefield
Performed by Nat King Cole

Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King:
peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!"
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
join the triumph of the skies;
with th'angelic hosts proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"

Refrain:
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King"

Christ, by highest heaven adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord,
late in time behold him come,
offspring of the Virgin's womb:
veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
hail th'incarnate Deity,
pleased with us in flesh to dwell,
Jesus, our Immanuel. [Refrain]

Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!

risen with healing in his wings.
Mild he lays his glory by,
born that we no more may die,
born to raise us from the earth,
born to give us second birth. [Refrain]

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,

 Silent night, holy night,
shepherds quake at the sight;
glories stream from heaven afar,
heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
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 face
with the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

Silent night, holy night,
wondrous star, lend thy light;
with the angels let us sing,
Alleluia to our King;
Christ the Savior is born,

Witchcraft (That Old Christmas Standard)

Written by Pearl King and Dave Bartholomew
Performed by Frank Sinatra

Those fingers in my hair
That sly come hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It's Witchcraft

And I've got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do?

'Cause it's Witchcraft
Wicked Witchcraft
And although I know it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what you're leading me to

It's such an ancient pitch
But one I wouldn't switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you

'Cause it's Witchcraft
That crazy Witchcraft
And although I know it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what your leading me to

It's such an ancient pitch
But one that I would never switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you

Christmas in Killarney

Written by Frank Weldon, James Cavanaugh and John Redmond
Performed by Bing Crosby

The holly green, the ivy green
The prettiest picture you've ever seen
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home

It's nice, you know, to kiss your beau
While cuddling under the mistletoe
And Santa Claus you know, of course
Is one of the boys from home

The door is always open
The neighbors pay a call
And Father John before he's gone
Will bless the house and all

How grand it feels to click your heels
And join in the fun of the jigs and reels
I'm handing you no blarney
The likes you've never known
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home

Christmas Wrapping

Written by Chris Butler
Performed by The Waitresses

Bah Humbug; now that's too strong!

'Cause it’s my favorite holiday.

But all this year's been a busy blur

Don't think I have the energy

To add to my already mad rush

Just 'cause it's 'tis the season.

The perfect gift for me would be

Completions and connections left from last year.

Ski shop encounter most interesting.

Had his number but never the time,

Most of '81 passed along those lines.

So deck those halls. Trim those trees.

Raise up cups of Christmas cheer.

I just need to catch my breath;

Christmas by myself this year

 

Calendar picture. Frozen landscape,

Chill this room for twenty-four days.

Evergreens. Sparkling snow.

Get this winter over with!

Flash back to spring time saw him again

Would have been good to go for lunch.

Couldn't agree when we were both free.

We tried, we said we'd keep in touch.

Didn't of course 'till summer time,

Out to the beach to his boat.

Could I join him?

No. This time it was me;

Sunburn in the third degree.

Now the calendar's just one page

Of course I am excited.

Tonight's the night I've set my mind

Not to do too much about it.

 

Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas

But I think I'll miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas

But I think I'll miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas

But I think I'll miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas

But I think I'll miss this one this year.

 

Hardly dashing through the snow

'Cause I bundled up too tight.

Last minute have-to-dos:

A few cards, a few calls

Because it's RSVP.

No, thanks. No party lights.

It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax,

Turn down all of my invites.

Last fall I had a night to myself

Same guy called; Halloween party.

Waited all night for him to show.

This time his car wouldn't go.

Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late.

Trudge on home to celebrate.

In a quiet way unwind.

Doing Christmas right this time.

 

And he has provided me

With the world's smallest turkey.

Already in the oven, nice and hot.

Oh damn! Guess what I forgot.

So on with the boots

Back out in the snow

To the only all night grocery.

When what to my wondering eyes should appear

In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year.

'Spending this one alone,' he said.

'Give me a break, this year's been crazy.'

I said 'Me too, but why are you..

You mean you forgot cranberries too?'

Then suddenly we laughed and laughed.

Caught on to what was happening.

That Christmas magic's brought this tale

To a very happy ending.

 

Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas

Couldn't miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas

Couldn't miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas

Couldn't miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas

Couldn't miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas

Couldn't miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas

Couldn't miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas

Couldn't miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas

Couldn't miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas

Couldn't miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas

Couldn't miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas

Couldn't miss this one this year.

It's a Marshmallow World

Written by Carl Sigman and Peter De Rose
Performed by Brenda Lee

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

Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen 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 goes, whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out and roll it along

Oh, 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

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

(Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen 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 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

I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
I'm really breaking away this time
A full tank of gas and a '69 Tempest
Taking me to that Nashville sign

No turning back, I've come too far
I'm headed down 40 with my old guitar
This ain't Graceland that's a fact
And I ain't driving a pink Cadillac

I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
Gonna bronze these blue suede shoes
These cowboy boots are gettin' kinda restless
They ain't gotta single thing to lose

I've had this dream from a tender age
Calling my name from the Opry stage
I can hear it sing loud and clear
200 miles and I'll be there

I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
I'm really breaking away this time
A full tank of gas and a '69 Tempest
Taking me to that Nashville sign

Yes,

I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
Gonna bronze these blue suede shoes
These cowboy boots are gettin' kinda restless
They ain't gotta single thing to lose

Whoa,

Yeah,
(I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis)
I got the cowboy boots, and a rhinestone suit
(I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis)
Oh yeah,
Full tank of gas and a 69 Tempest
Taking me to that Nashville sign

Let It Snow

Written by Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn
Performed by Dean Martin

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

Man it doesn't show signs of stoppin'
And I brought me some corn for poppin'
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss good-night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

And the fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing
But as long as you'd love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, and snow

When we finally kiss good-night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you'd really grab me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

Oh 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

It's a Small World

Written by Robert and Richard Sherman

It's a world of laughter
A world of tears
It's a world of hopes
And a world of fears
There's so much that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all

It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world

There is just one moon
And one golden sun
And a smile means
Friendship to ev'ryone
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all

It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world

Not Even the Trees

Written by Darius Rucker, Dean Felber, Jim Sonefeld and Mark Bryan
Performed by Hootie and the Blowfish

Alone as I sit and watch the trees
Won't you tell me if I scream
Will they bend down and listen to me
And it makes me wonder
If I know the words will you come
Or will you laugh at me or will I run

Little boy says to me
Where you goin' now son
I said, I don't know where I'm goin' boy
I only know where I'm from
And it makes me wonder
If the stars shine when my eyes close
Or does my brothers heart cry
I don't know

I'm a stranger in my home
Now that everybody's gone
Someone please talk to me
'Cause I feel you cry
And you're sitting with him
And I know I'll never see you again

Lying down in Charleston under the Carolina sky
You see I'm tired of feeling this pain
I'm tired of living my own little lie
And it makes me wonder
When I see you in my dreams
Does it mean anything
Are you trying to talk to me

I'm a stranger in my home
Tell me are you feeling alone
Someone tell me what to do
'Cause I'm feeling strong
And I wonder how you feel
Do you realize my pain is for real

I see you in my dreams
And I wonder if you're looking down at me
And smiling right now
I wanna know if it's true
When he looks at me
Won't you tell me
Does he realize he came down here
He took you too soon

And now my days are short and my nights are long
I lay down with memories of you
That keep me going on, going on
And it makes me wonder as I sit and stare
Will I see your face again, tell me, do you care

I'm a stranger in my home
Living life on my own
Right now I just can't see
'Cause I'm feeling weak
And my soul begins to bleed
And no one is listening to me, not even the trees
Oh no no no no no no no

(There's No Place Like ) Home for the Holidays

Written by Robert Nevil and Matthew Gerrard
Performed by Perry Como


Oh, theres no place like home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
For the holidays, you cant beat home, sweet home

I met a man who lives in Tennessee and he was headin for
Pennsylvania and some home made pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks are travelin down to Dixies sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee, the traffic is terrific

Oh there's no place like home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
If you want to be happy in a million ways
For the holidays, you cant beat home, sweet home

From Pennsylvania folks are travelin down to Dixies sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, oh, The traffic is terrific

Oh there's no place like home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
If you want to be happy in a million ways
For the holidays, you cant beat home, sweet home

Home, sweet home, home, sweet home
I'm goin' home
Hey, mama make that pumpkin pie
I'll have a little pot of chicken in the sky
There's somethin' in my eye
Mama please keep me dry
Oh.... (fade)

Touch and Go

Written by Ric Ocasek
Performed by The Cars

All I need is what you've got
All I'll tell is what you're not
All you know is what you hear
I get this way when you come near

Then I know it's gone too far
Uh oh, I touched your star
And it felt so right
Just like the hush of midnight
And then you said
With me it's touch and go
It's touch and go

All I need is you tonight
I'm flying like a cement kite
In your headlock on the floor
Who could ever ask for more

And I know it's gone too far
Uh-oh, I touched your star
And it felt so right
Just like the hush of midnight
And then you said
With me it's touch and go uh oh
It's touch and go, oh oh oh

All I want is you tonight
I guess that dress does fit you tight, yeah
You know that look does make me shake
It almost looks too good to fake

And I know it's gone too far
Uh oh, I touched your star
And it felt so right
Just like the hush of midnight
And then you said
With me it's touch and go uh oh
Touch and go uh oh oh

It's touch and go uh oh oh
Touch and go uh oh oh

It's touch and go u hoh oh
Touch and go, touch and go

Oh, it's touch and go
Oh oh oh (Touch and go) touch and go

All I need is what you've got

Written by Dave Matthews
Performed by Dave Matthews Band

Spring sweet rhythm dance in my head
Slip into my lovers hands
Kiss me wont you kiss me now
And sleep I would inside your mouth
Dont be us too shy
Knowing its no big surprise
That I will wait for you

Oh please lover lay down
Spend this time with me
Together share this smile
Lover lay down

And you were so much younger
Hard to explain that we are stronger
A million reasons life to deny

Chasing me all around
Leading me all around
Leading me all around in circles

White Christmas

Written by Irving Berlin
Performed by The Drifters


I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops 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 tree tops 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
May all your Christmases
May all your Christmases
May all your Christmases be white

Indiana Christmas

Written by Daniel Ponce
Performed by Straight No Chaser

The moonlight shines on a sycamore
And now they are calling to me
In the city its snowing
The sidewalks blowing

But there's somewhere I'd rather be
Thousands of people all walking by
But somehow I'm still alone
I'm gonna spend winter my way
Again on the highway
I'm ready to find a way home

Indiana, thats where I'm going
This time of year you know how I feel
Indiana, thats where I'm going
Where Christmas will always be real

We'll build up the fire tell a story or two
With good friends we always invite
The old and the young come together as one
And we sing into the night

Indiana, thats where I'm going
This time of year you know how I feel
Indiana, thats where I'm going
Where Christmas will always be real

And I remember those who are gone
Looking down on my home from above
Deep in December its where I belong
Sharing the days with the ones who I love

Indiana Indiana Indiana
Indiana Indiana Indiana
Indiana Indiana Indiana

Where Christmas will always be real

The moonlight shines on a sycamore
And now they are calling to me

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Written by Meredith Wilson
Performed by Johnny Matthis

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 that glow

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 Hopalong 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'll make 'em ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart

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

Sure, it's Christmas once more

Cozy Little Christmas

Written by Ferras Alqaisi, Katy Perry and Greg Wells 
Performed by Katy Perry


Everybody's in a hurry, in a flurry
Shopping 'til they're droppin' in the snow
Kids are cryin', dogs are barkin'
Catching up with folks we barely know
Sure it's madness, but it's magic
As soon as you hang up the mistletoe
'Cause you're the reason for the season
No, we don't need to keep up with the Jones

Our love is something priceless

I don't need diamonds, no sparkly things (no, oh, oh, oh, oh)
'Cause you can't buy this a-feeling (no, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Nothing lights my fire or wraps me up, baby, like you do
Just want a cozy, a cozy little Christmas here with you

So, Mr. Santa (Mr. Santa)
Take the day off (take the day off)
Get a massage (get a massage)
'Cause we've got this one all under control
A little whiskey (a little whiskey)
We're getting frisky (ooh!)
And slow dancing to Nat King Cole
No, we ain't stressin' (we ain't stressin')
Just caressin' (mm-hmm)
Warming up our popsicle toes
Nothing's missin' (nothing's missin')
'Cause you're a blessin' ('cause you're the blessin')
Yet, you're the only one I'm wishing for
Our love is something priceless

I don't need diamonds, no sparkly things (No, oh, oh, oh, oh)
'Cause you can't buy this a-feeling (No, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Nothing lights my fire or wraps me up, baby, like you do
Just want a cozy, a cozy little Christmas here with you

I don't need anything
Take back all the Cartier, and the Tiffany's and the Chanel
Well, can I keep that Chanel? Please?

No, no, no, no
I don't need diamonds, no sparkly things (No, oh, oh, oh, oh)
'Cause you can't buy this a-feeling (No, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Nothing lights my fire or wraps me up, baby, like you do
Just want a cozy, a cozy little Christmas here with you

Just you and me, under a tree
(Fa la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la la)
A cozy little Christmas here with you

Ho Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rhum

Written by Jimmy Buffett, Peter Mayer, Roger Guth and Russ Kunkel
Performed by Jimmy Buffett

Santa's stressed out as the holiday season draws near,
He's been doing the same job now going on two thousand years,
He's got pains in his brain and chimney scars cover his buns,
He hates to admit it, but Christmas is more work than fun

He needs a vacation from bad decorations and snow,
Mr. Claus has escape plans, a secret that only he knows,
Beaches and palm trees appear night and day in his dreams,
A break from his wife, his half frozen life, the elves and that damn reindeer team.

Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rhum
Santa's run off to the Caribbean
He thinks about boat drinks and fun in the sun
Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rhum

Plastic creations and crass exploitations aren't good,
He wants to go back to simple toys made out of wood,
Just for the week-end he'd like to be Peter Pan
Get out of his long johns and dance with a sword in the sand

Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rhum
Santa's run off to the Caribbean
Marimbas, calimbas, he's playing steel drums
Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rhum

Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rhum
Santa's run off to the Caribbean
Marimbas, calimbas, he's playing steel drums
Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rhum

Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rhum
Santa's run off to the Caribbean
A week in the tropics and he'll be all right
Sporting a tan as he rides out of sight

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night

O Holy Night

Lyrics by Placide Cappeau, Tune by Aolphe Adam
Performed by Aaron Neville

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and ever pining
'Til he appeared and the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn'
Fall on your knees, o hear the angels' voices
O night divine, o night when Christ was born
O night divine, o night, o night divine

Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
With all within, let us praise His holy name

Christ is the Lord, His Name forever praise we
Noel, Noel, o night, o night divine
Noel, noel
O night, o holy night

Beauty School Dropout

Written by Richard Finch and Harry Casey
Performed by Frank Avalon

Your story sad to tell
A teenage ne'er do well
Most mixed up non-delinquent on the block

Your future's so unclear now
What's left of your career now?
Can't even get a trade in on your smile
Beauty school dropout
No graduation day for you
Beauty school dropout
Missed your mid-terms and flunked shampoo
Well at least you could have taken time
To wash and clean your clothes up
After spending all that dough
To have the doctor fix your nose up

Baby get movin'
(Better get movin')
Why keep your feeble hopes alive?
What are you provin'?
(What are you provin')
You've got the dream but not the drive

If you go for your diploma you could join the steno pool
Turn in your teasin' comb and go back to high school

Beauty school dropout
(Beauty school dropout)
Hanging around the corner store
Beauty school dropout
(Beauty school dropout)
It's about time you knew the score

Well they couldn't teach you anything
You think you're such a looker
But no customer will go to you
Unless she was a hooker

Baby don't sweat it
(Don't sweat it)
You're not cut out to hold a job
Better forget it
(Forget it)
Who wants their hair done by a slob?

Now your bangs are curled
Your lashes twirled
But still the world is cruel
Wipe off that angel face and go back to high school

Baby don't blow it
Don't put my good advice to shame
Baby you know it
Even dear Abby'd say the same

Now I've called the shot
Get off the pot
I really gotta fly
Gotta be going to that malt shop in the sky

Beauty school dropout
(Beauty school dropout)
Go back to high school
Beauty school dropout
(Beauty school dropout)
Go back to high school
Beauty school dropout
(Beauty school dropout)
Go back to high school

Mary's Boy Child/Oh My Lord

Written by Fred Jay, Frank Farian and Jester Hairston
Performed by Boney M.

Mary's boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day
And man will live for evermore because of Christmas Day

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible said
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today
And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day

While shepherds watch their flocks by night
They see a bright new shining star
They hear a choir sing a song, the music seemed to come from afar

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today
And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day

For a moment the world was aglow, all the bells rang out
There were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted
"Let everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace"

Oh my Lord
You sent Your son to save us
Oh my Lord
Your very self You gave us
Oh my Lord
That sin may not enslave us
And love may reign once more

Oh my Lord
When in the crib they found Him
Oh my Lord
A golden halo crowned Him
Oh my Lord
They gathered all around Him
To see Him and adore (this day will live forever)

Oh my Lord (so praise the Lord)
They had become to doubt You
Oh my Lord (He is the truth forever)
What did they know about You?
Oh my Lord (so praise the Lord)
But they were lost without You
They needed You so bad (His light is shining on us)

Oh my Lord (so praise the Lord)
With the child's adoration
Oh my lord (He is a personation)
There came great jubilation
Oh my Lord (so praise the Lord)
And full of admiration
They realized what they had (until the sun falls from the sky)

Oh my Lord (oh praise the Lord)
You sent Your son to save us
Oh my Lord (this day will live forever)
Your very self You gave us
Oh my Lord (so praise the Lord)

Hey You

Written by Roger Waters
Performed by Pink Floyd

Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight

Hey you out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home

But it was only fantasy
The wall was too high
As you can see
No matter how he tried
He could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain

Hey you, out there on the road
Always doing what you're told
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall
Can you help me?
Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall

Silent Night

Written by Joseph Mohr and Franz Gruber

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 Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born!

Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love's pure light;
radiant beams from thy holy face
with the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

Silent night, holy night,
wondrous star, lend thy light;
with the angels let us sing,
Alleluia to our King;
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born!

Childrens' eyes are wide

So Feliz Navidad

This means a very Merry Christmas
Christmas, Christmas

Noel: Christmas Eve 1913

Written by Lee Holdridge
Performed by John Denver and The Muppets

A frosty Christmas Eve
when the stars were shining
I travelled for the home
where westward falls the hill
And for many, many a village
in the darkness of the valley
Distant music reached me
peels of bells were ringing

Then spread my thoughts to olden times
to that first of Christmases
When shepherds who were watching
heard music in the fields
And they sat there and they marvelled
and they knew they could not tell
Whether it were angels or the bright stars a-singing

But to me heard afar
it was starry music
The singing of the angels
the comfort of our Lord
Words of old that come a travelling by the riches of the times
And I softly listened as I stood upon the hill
And I softly listened as I stood upon the hill

Open up your mind, and let me step inside
Rest your weary head, and let your heart decide

It's so easy when you know the rules
It's so easy, all you have to do is fall in love

Everybody, play the game of love, ooh, yeah

My game of love has just begun
Love runs from my head down to my toes
My love is pumping through my veins (Play the game)
Driving me insane (Come, come, come, come)
Come play the game, play the game, play the game
Play the game

Everybody, play the game of love
This is your life, don't play hard to get
It's a free world (free world), all you have to do is fall in love

Play the game, yeah
Everybody, play the game of love
Your life, don't play hard to get
It's a free world (free world), all you have to do is fall in love
Play the game
Everybody play the game of love

Your Smiling Face

Written by James Taylor
Performed by James Taylor

Whenever I see your smiling face
I have to smile myself
Because I love you, yes, I do
And when you give me that pretty little pout
It turns me inside out
a something about you, baby
I don't know

Isn't it amazing a man like me
Can feel this way
Tell me how much longer
It could grow stronger every day
Oh, how much longer?

I thought I was in love a couple of times
Before with the girl next door
But that was long before I met you
Now I'm sure that I won't forget you
And I thank my lucky stars
That you are who you are
And not just another lovely lady
Set out to break my heart

Isn't it amazing a man like me
Can feel this way
Tell me how much longer
It could grow stronger every day
How much longer?

No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today, whenever I see you smile at me
No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today
Whenever I see your smiling face my way
No one can tell me that I'm doing it wrong today
No one can tell me that I'm doing it wrong today, no, no, darling
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye

Radio Ga Ga

Written by Roger Taylor and Roger Aitken
Performed by Queen

I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio

You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly

So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know, or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there

You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (radio)

All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you

We watch the shows, we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years

Let's hope you never leave, old friend
Like all good things, on you we depend
So stick around, 'cause we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual

You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (radio)

All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Someone still loves you

You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (radio)

Maniac

Written by Dennis Matkosky and Michael Sembello
Performed by Michael Sembello

Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night
Lookin' for the fight of her life
In the real-time world no one sees her at all
They all say she's crazy

Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart
Changing movement into light
She has danced into the danger zone
When the dancer becomes the dance

It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire
On a wire between will and what will be

She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

On the ice-blue line of insanity is a place most never see
It's a hard-won place of mystery touch it, but can't hold it
You work all your life for that
Moment in time, it could come or pass you by
It's a push-shove world, but there's always a chance
If the hunger stays the night

There's a cold kinetic heat, struggling, stretching for the beat
Never stopping with her head against the wind

She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire
On a wire between will and what will be

She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know (I sure know)
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
Maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know (I sure know)
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

Luka

Written by Suzanne Vega
Performed by Suzanne Vega

My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was

I think it's because I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud

They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore

Yes I think I'm okay
I walked into the door again
If you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway

I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am

My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was

They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore

Abracadabra

Written by Steve Miller
Performed by The Steve Miller Band

I heat up, I can't cool down
You got me spinning
'Round and 'round
'Round and 'round and 'round it goes
Where it stops nobody knows

Every time you call my name
I heat up like a burning flame
Burning flame full of desire
Kiss me baby, let the fire get higher

Abra abracadabra
I wanna reach out and grab ya
Abracadabra
Abracadabra

You make me hot, you make me sigh
You make me laugh, you make me cry
Keep me burning for your love
With the touch of a velvet glove

Abra abracadabra
I wanna reach out and grab ya
Abracadabra
Abracadabra

I feel the magic in your caress
I feel magic when I touch your dress
Silk and satin, leather and lace
Black panties with an angel's face

I see magic in your eyes
I hear the magic in your sighs
Just when I think I'm gonna get away
I hear those words that you always say

Abra abracadabra
I wanna reach out and grab ya
Abracadabra
Abracadabra

Every time you call my name
I heat up like a burning flame
Burning flame full of desire
Kiss me baby, let the fire get higher

I heat up, I can't cool down
My situation goes 'round and 'round
I heat up, I can't cool down
My situation goes 'round and 'round
I heat up, I can't cool down
My situation goes 'round and 'round
