Shake You Down

Written by Gregory Abbott

Performed by Gregory Abbott

Girl, I've been watching you
From so far across the floor, now, baby
That's nothing new, I've watched you
So many times before, now, baby
I see that look in your eyes (look in your eyes)
And what it's telling me
And you know, ooh girl, that I'm not shy
I'm glad you picked up on my telepathy, now, baby

You read my mind (you know you did)
Girl, I wanna shake you down (oh well, oh well)
I can give you all the lovin' you need
(I'm gonna love you)
Come on, let me take you down (oh, baby)
We'll go all the way to Heaven
Ooh, I been missing you
And the way you make me feel inside
What can I do? I can tell you've got your pride now, baby
Come to me (oh well, oh well)
Let me ease your mind (oh babe)
I've got the remedy, yes I do
Now give me just a little time

I wanna rock you down
(I can give you all the lovin' you need)
I'm gonna love you
(Come on, let me take you down)
Oh well, oh well
(We'll go all the way to Heaven)

Girl, I've been missing you
And you know, it's funny
Every time I get to feelin' this way
I wish I had you near me
I wanna reach out and touch you

I can't stop thinking of the things we do
The way you call me "baby" when I'm holding you
I shake and I shiver when I know you're near
Then you whisper in my ear (oh baby, well, well)

Oh baby
(I can give you all the lovin' you need)
I'm gonna love you
(Come on, let me take you down)
Oh well, oh well
(We'll go all the way to Heaven)

Eeny-meeny-miny-mo (you read my mind)
Come on, girl, let's shock the show (girl, I wanna shake you down)
(I can give you all the lovin' you need)
Roses are red and violets are blue
I'm gonna rock this world for you
Hey baby
(We'll go all the way to Heaven)
(You read my mind)
Girl, I wanna shake you down
I can give you all the lovin' you need
Come on, let me take you down
We'll go all the way to Heaven

Sleigh Ride

Written by Leroy Anderson and Mitchell Parish

Performed by The Carpenters

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring-ting-tingling too
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling yoo-hoo
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Let's take the road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, let's go
Let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, it's grand
Just holding your hand

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like birds of a feather would be

Let's take the road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

There's a Christmas party
At the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending
Of a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs
We love to sing
Without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch
The chestnuts pop
Pop pop pop

There's a happy feeling nothing
In the world can buy
As they pass around the coffee
And the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print
By Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring-ting-tingling too
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Let's take the road before us
And sing another chorus or two
Come on it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

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

What Are You Doing New Year's Eve

Written by Frank Loesser

Performed by The Orioles

When the bells all ring and the horns all blow
And the couples we know are fondly kissing
Will I be with you or will I be among the missing?

Maybe it's much too early in the game
Ah, but I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's, New Year's eve?

Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year, New Year's Eve?

Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of the thousand invitations you received

Ah, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year's, New Year's Eve?

Ah, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year's, New Year's Eve?
Oh, what are you doing New Year's, New Year's Eve?

How Will I Know

Written by George Robert Merrill / Narada Michael Walden / Shannon Rubicam

Performed by Whitney Houston

There's a boy I know, he's the one I dream of
Looks into my eyes, takes me to the clouds above, mmm-hmm
Oh, I lose control, can't seem to get enough, uh-huh
When I wake from dreaming, tell me, is it really love?

Ooh, how will I know? (Don't trust your feelings)
How will I know?
How will I know? (Love can be deceiving)
How will I know?

How will I know if he really loves me?
I say a prayer with every heartbeat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I'm asking you 'cause you know about these things
How will I know if he's thinking of me?
I try to phone but I'm too shy (can't speak)
Falling in love is so bittersweet
This love is strong, why do I feel weak?

Oh, wake me, I'm shaking
Wish I had you near me now, uh-huh
Said there's no mistaking
What I feel is really love

Ooh, tell me how will I know? (Don't trust your feelings)
How will I know?
How will I know? (Love can be deceiving)
How will I know?

How will I know if he really loves me?
I say a prayer with every heartbeat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I'm asking you 'cause you know about these things
How will I know if he's thinking of me?
I try to phone but I'm too shy (can't speak)
Falling in love is so bittersweet
This love is strong, why do I feel weak?

If he loves me
If he loves me not
If he loves me
Ooh, if he loves me not
Hey, if he loves me
If he loves me not

Oh, how will I know, how will I know?
How will I know?
Hey, how will I know?

Ooh, how will I know if he really loves me?
I say a prayer with every heartbeat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I'm asking you 'cause you know about these things
How will I know if he's thinking of me?
I try to phone but I'm too shy (can't speak)
Falling in love is so bittersweet
This love is strong, why do I feel weak?

How will I know? (how will I know?)
How will I know?
How will I know? (I say a prayer)
How will I know?
Ooh, how will I know? (I fall in love)
How will I love, hey, how will I know? (I'm asking you)

 

I Never Walk Alone

Written by Huey Lewis and Reed Nielsen

Performed by Huey Lewis and the News

Well I remember our old neighborhood
Everyone there, well they understood
You could wind up stranded in the lost and found
So you better stick together if you want to stick around

So me and the boys got our own little plan
Somebody out there, well they'll understand
And we'll have the world in the palm of our hand

I never walk alone
I never walk alone

It ain't what you've got, it's who you know
We take that with us wherever we go
We stick together and we have our fun
You know we're taking our days one by one

And when there's trouble in my face
I'm a tired runner in the human race
I've gotta get back to a familiar face

I never walk alone
I never walk alone
And I, I'm taking care of my own
And I never walk alone

I never walk alone
And I never walk alone
And I, I'm taking care of my own
And I never walk alone

I never walk alone
I never walk alone

We stick together and we're havin' our fun
I never walk alone
Then we're taking our days one by one
I'm taking care of my own

Taking care of my own
And I never walk alone
I never walk alone

 

Let It Snow

Appropriate for first snow of the season.

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

Shake It Off

Written by Taylor Swift, Max Martin and Shellback

I stay out too late
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say, mm-mm
That's what people say, mm-mm

I go on too many dates
But I can't make 'em stay
At least that's what people say, mm-mm
That's what people say, mm-mm

It's like I got this music in my mind
Sayin' it's gonna be alright

And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off (hoo-hoo-hoo)

Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

I never miss a beat
I'm lightnin' on my feet
And that's what they don't see, mm-mm
That's what they don't see, mm-mm

I'm dancin' on my own (dancin' on my own)
I make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go)
And that's what they don't know, mm-mm
That's what they don't know, mm-mm

But I keep cruisin'
Can't stop, won't stop groovin'
It's like I got this music in my mind
Sayin' it's gonna be alright

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play

And the dirty, dirty cheats of the world
You could've been gettin' down to this sick beat

And to the fella over there with the hella good hair
Won't you come on over, baby? We can shake, shake, shake (yeah)
Yeah, oh, oh

I'm Still Standing

Written by Bernie Taupin and Elton John

Performed by Elton John

You could never know what it's like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use

And did you think this fool could never win?
Well, look at me, I'm a-coming back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away

Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did?
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
And I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah

Once I never could've hoped to win
You're starting down the road leaving me again
The threats you made were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now

You know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah

Don't you know that I'm still standing better than I ever did?
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
And I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah
