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

Home For The Holidays

Written by Robert S. Nevil and Matthew Gerrard
Performed by Perry Como


Oh! there's no place like home for the holidays,
Because no matter how far away you roam,
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze,
For the holidays you can't beat home sweet home!

I met a man who lives in Tennessee, he was heading for,
Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie!
From Pennsylvania folks are travellin'
Down the Dixie sunny shore,
From Atlantic to pacific,
Gee the traffic is terrific!

Oh! there's no place like home for the holidays,
Because no matter how far away you roam,
If you wanna be happy in a million ways,
For the holidays you can't beat home sweet home!

Take a bus, take a train, go and hop an aeroplane,
Put the wife an' kiddies in the family car!
For the pleasure that you bring when you make that doorbell ring,
No trip could be too far!

I met a man who lives in Tennessee, he was headin' for,
Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie!
( some homemade pumpkin pie! )
From Pennsylvania folks are travellin'
Down the Dixie sunny shore,
From Atlantic to pacific,
Gee the traffic is terrific!

Oh! there's no place like home for the holidays,
Because no matter how far away you roam,
If you wanna be happy in a million ways,
For the holidays you can't beat home sweet home!

For the holidays you can't beat home sweet home!

This Town

Written by Lee Hazelwood
Performed by Frank Sinatra


This town is a lonely town
Not the only town like-a this town
This town is a make-you town
Or a break-you-town and bring-you-down town

This town is a quiet town
Or a riot town like this town
This town is a love-you town
And a shove-you-down and push-you-'round town

[instrumental]

This town is an all-right town
For an uptight town like-a this town
This town, it's a use-you town
An abuse-you town until-you're-down town

This town is a losin' town
It's a miserable town
It's a nowhere town
And I am leavin' this town
You better believe that I'm leavin' this town
Man, it could never be uptown
It's bound to be downtown

[Fade]

This town, bye-bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye-bye

I'm Gonna Miss Her

Same as yesterday.

Written by Brad Paisley and Frank Rogers
Performed by Brad Paisley

Well I love her
But I love to fish
I spend all day out on this lake
And hell is all I catch
Today she met me at the door
Said I would have to choose
If I hit that fishin' hole today
She'd be packin' all her things
And she'd be gone by noon

Well I'm gonna miss her
When I get home
But right now I'm on this lakeshore
And I'm sittin' in the sun
I'm sure it'll hit me
When I walk through that door tonight
That I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite

Now there's a chance that if I hurry
I could beg her to stay
But that water's right
And the weather's perfect
No tellin' what I might catch today

Well I'm gonna miss her
When I get home
But right now I'm on this lakeshore
And I'm sittin' in the sun
I'm sure it'll hit me
When I walk through that door tonight
That I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite

Yeah, I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite

I Love This Bar

Written by Toby Keith and Scott Emerick
Performed by Toby Keith


We got winners, we got losers
Chain smokers and boozers
And we got yuppies, we got bikers
We got thirsty hitchhikers
And the girls next door dress up like movie stars

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

We got cowboys, we got truckers
Broken-hearted fools and suckers
And we got hustlers, we got fighters
Early birds and all-nighters
And the veterans talk about their battle scars

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

[Chorus:]
I love this bar
It's my kind of place
Just walkin' through the front door
Puts a big smile on my face
It ain't too far, come as you are
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

I've seen short skirts, we got high-techs
Blue-collar boys and rednecks
And we got lovers, lots of lookers
And I've even seen dancing girls and hookers
And we like to drink our beer from a mason jar

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
Yes I do

I like my truck (I like my truck)
I like my girlfriend (I like my girlfriend)
I like to take her out to dinner
I like a movie now and then

But I love this bar
It's my kind of place
Just trollin' around the dance floor
Puts a big smile on my face
No cover charge, come as you are
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar

We got divorcees and a big bouncer man
An old jukebox and a real bad band
We got waitresses and we got barflies
A dumb-ass and a wise-guy
If you get too drunk just sleep out in your car

Reason number 672 why

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
Play it on out boys
Beer-thirty's over
Got to take it on home

Hmm, hmm, hmm I love this bar
I just love it

Summer of Love

Written by Fred Scheider, Rick Wilson, Cynthia Wilson, Keith Strickland, and Kate Pierson
Performed by The B-52s


Summer of love
Summer of love

I've been waiting for the man
Just buzzin' around downtown
Waiting for that very special
Comes in to see what I got
Orange Popsicles and lemonade

It's the summer of love, love, love
I'm in love with love, love, love
For everyone transcends here
I'm thinking of you, boy

Love energy is giving us a shove
Making this the summer of love
I said, "I see no clouds ahead"
Summer of love
Summer of love

I'm standing in the rain
Just feeling the nitty-gritty of the whole thing
Everything is very special
Look in and see what I got
Orange Popsicles and lemonade

It's the summer of love, love, love
I'm in love with love, love, love
For everyone transcends here
I'm thinking of you, boy
Love energy is giving us a shove
Making this the summer of love
Summer of love
Summer of love
Summer of love

It's the summer of love, love, love
I'm in love with love, love, love
(For everyone)

It's the summer of love, love, love
I'm in love with love, love, love
(For everyone)

It's the summer of love, love, love
I'm in love with love, love, love
(For everyone)

It's the summer of love, love, love
I'm in love with love, love, love
(For everyone)

It's the summer of love, love, love
I'm in love with love, love, love
(For everyone)


For everyone, for everyone, for everyone
For everyone, for everyone, for everyone
For everyone, for everyone
One, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one

Amazing Grace

Written by John Newton


Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.
