Christmas Caroling
ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS
Chorus:
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth,
My two front teeth, see my two front teeth,
Gee if I could only have my two front teeth,
Then I could wish you “Merry Christmas!”
It seems so long since I could say,
“Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!”
Gosh, oh gee, how happy I’d be
If I could only whistle. (Chorus)
ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH
Angels we have heard on high, sweetly
singing o’er the plains, And the mountains in
reply, echoing their joyous strains.
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Shepherds, why the jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heav’nly song? (Chorus)
Come to Bethlehem and see, Him whose
Birth the angels sing. Come adore on
Bended knee, Christ the Lord,
The newborn King. (Chorus)
AWAY IN A MANGER
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
the little Lord Jesus laid down his
sweet head. The stars in the heaven
looked down where he lay. The
little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
Be near me Lord, Jesus, I ask you
to stay beside me forever, and guide
me, I pray. Bless all the dear children
in your tender care, and take us to
heaven to be with you there.
CHRISTMAS SONG
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire.
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some
mistletoe, help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow, will find
it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa’s on his way;
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his
sleigh. And every mother’s child is gonna
spy, to see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so I’m offering this simple phrase,
to kids from one to ninety-two,
although it’s been said many times,
many ways, Merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you.
DECK THE HALLS
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
‘Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient Yule tide carol,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Fast away the old year passes,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Sing we joyous, all together,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
FELIZ NAVIDAD
Feliz navidad, feliz navidad,Feliz
navidad, prospero ano y Felicidad. (Repeat)
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas (x3)
From the bottom of my heart.
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
Frosty the snowman was a jolly, happy soul,
With a corn cob pipe and a button nose,
And two eyes made out of coal. Frosty
The snowman is a fairytale, they say,
He was made of snow by 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.
Oh, 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.
Thumpety, thump, thump,
Thumpety, thump, thump,
Look at Frosty go.
Thumpety, thump, thump,
Thumpety, thump, thump,
Over the hills of snow.
Frosty the snowman knew the sun
Was hot that day. So he said,
“Let’s run and we’ll have some fun
Now before I melt away.
Down to the village, with a
Broomstick in his hand, running
Here and there all around the
Square, saying, “Catch me if you can.”
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 snowman had to
Hurry on his way, but he waved
Goodbye, saying, “Don’t you cry,
I’ll be back again some day.”
Thumpety, thump, thump…
HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS
Have a holly jolly Christmas
It’s the best time of the year.
I don’t know if there’ll be snow
But have a cup of cheer.
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And ev’ryone you meet.
Oh, ho, the mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me.
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn’t hear
Oh, by golly, have a holly jolly
Christmas – this year.
I’LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
I’ll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree.
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the lovelight gleams
I’ll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams.
JINGLE BELLS
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way;
Oh! What fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh!
JOY TO THE WORLD
Joy to the world! The Lord has come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare him room,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.
Joy to the world! The Savior reigns;
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills,
And plains, repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy. Repeat,
Repeat the sounding joy.
MY FAVORITE THINGS
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens;
Bright copper kettles and warm
Woolen mittens; brown paper packages tied
Up with strings;
These are a few of my favorite things.
Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple
Strudels; doorbells and sleigh bells and
Schnitzel with noodles; wild geese that
Fly with the moon on their wings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes.
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and
Eyelashes. Silver-white winters that melt into
Springs.
These are a few of my favorite things.
When the dog bites, when the bee stings,
When I’m feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don’t feel so bad.
O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM
O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy dep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
RUDOLPH, THE RED-NOSED REINDEER
Rudolph, the red nosed reindeer, had a
Very shiny nose! (Like a lightbulb!) And,
If you ever saw it, you would even say
It glows! (Like a flashlight!)
All of the other reindeer, used to laugh
And call him names. (Like Pinocchio!)
They never let poor Rudolph join in any
Reindeer games. (Like Monopoly!)
Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came
To say, (Ho! Ho! Ho!): “Rudolph with your
Nose so bright, won’t you guide my sleigh
Tonight?”
Then all the reindeer loved him as they
Shouted out with glee, (Yippee!):
“Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you’ll
Go down in history!” (Like George
Washington!)
SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN’ TO TOWN
You better watch out, you better not cry,
Better not pout, I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town.
He’s making a list, and checking it twice;
Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town.
He sees you when you’re sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
Oh! You better watch out, you better
Not cry, better not pout I’m telling you why.
Santa Claus is coming to town.
Santa Claus is coming to town.
SILENT NIGHT
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 (x 2).
Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heav’nly hosts sing Alleluia;
Christ the Savior is born (x2).
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 (x2).
SILVER BELLS
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style.
In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas.
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you’ll hear.
Chorus:
Silver bells, silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing.
Soon it will be Christmas day.
Strings of streetlights, even stoplights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their
Treasures. Hear the snow crunch,
See the kids bunch,
This is Santa’s big scene. And above
all this bustle you’ll hear. (Chorus)
THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS
On the first day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me:
A partridge in a pear tree.
On the second
Two turtle doves, and 1…
Three French hens, 2, 1…etc.
Four calling birds, 3, 2, 1
Five golden rings, 4, 3, 2, 1
Six geese a laying, 5…
Seven swans a swimming, 6…
Eight maids a milking, 7…
Nine ladies dancing, 8…
Ten Lords a leaping, 9…
Eleven pipers piping, 10…
Twelve drummers drumming, 11…
Lets end this…!!!
UP ON THE HOUSETOP
Up on the housetop reindeer pause,
Out jumps good old Santa Claus.
Down through the chimney with lots of toys,
All for the little ones, Christmas joys.
Ho, ho, ho. Who wouldn’t go!
Ho, ho, ho. Who wouldn’t go!
Up on the housetop, click, click, click;
Down through the chimney
With good St. Nick!
WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS
We wish you a Merry Christmas (x3)
And a Happy New Year.
Chorus:
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin;
Good tidings for Christmas and a
Happy New Year!
O, bring us some figgy pudding (x3)
And a cup of good cheer. (Chorus)
We won’t go until we get some (x3)
So bring some out here. (Chorus)
We wish you a Merry Christmas (x3)
And a Happy New Year.
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”
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 sit by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland.
