3. HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Let your heart be light

Next year all our troubles, will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Make the Yuletide gay

Next year all our troubles, will be miles away

Once again, as in olden days

Happy golden days of yore

Faithful friends who are dear to us

Will be near to us once more

Someday soon we all will be together

If the fates allow

Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow

So have yourself a merry little christmas

4. BLUE CHRISTMAS

I'll have a blue Christmas without you

I'll be so blue just thinking about you

Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree

Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me

And when those blue snowflakes are falling

That's when those blue memories start calling

You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white

And I'll have a blue, blue Christmas

And when those blue snowflakes start falling

Well, that's when those blue old memories start calling

You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white

And I'll, I'll, have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas

Yes, I'll have a blue Christmas

5. THIS CHRISTMAS

Hang all the mistletoe

I'm gonna get to know you better

This Christmas

And as we trim the tree

How much fun it's gonna be together

This Christmas

The fireside is blazing bright, whoa-ah

We're caroling through the night, whoa-whoa

This Christmas will be a very special Christmas for me

Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

Ha, let's go (woo-hoo)

Presents and cards are here

My world is filled with cheer and you

This Christmas

And as I look around

Your eyes outshine the town, they do

This Christmas

The fireside is blazing bright

And we're caroling through the night

And this Christmas will be

A very special Christmas for me, yeah (huh)

Woah-oh, oh-oh

Oh, ha

Shake a hand, shake a hand now

Na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na

So special for you and me

Yes, it will be

6. STOP THE CAVALRY

Hey, Mr. Churchill comes over here

To say we're doing splendidly

But it's very cold out here in the snow

Marching to and from the enemy

Oh I say it's tough, I have had enough

Can you stop the cavalry?

I have had to fight, almost every night

Down throughout these centuries

That is when I say, oh yes yet again

Can you stop the cavalry?

Mary Bradley waits at home

In the nuclear fall-out zone

Wish I could be dancing now

In the arms of the girl I love

Dubbi dubbi-dum-dum

Dubbi dubbi-dum

Dubbi-dum dum Dubbbi Dum

Dubbi Dubbi dum

Wish I was at home for Christmas

Bang! That's another bomb on another town

While the Tsar and Jim have tea

If I get home, live to tell the tale

I'll run for all presidencies

If I get elected I'll stop, I will stop the cavalry

Dubbi dubbi-dum-dum

Dubbi dubbi-dum

Dubbi-dum dum Dubbbi Dum

Dubbi Dubbi dum

Wish I was at home for Christmas

Wish I could be dancing now

In the arms of the girl I love

Mary Bradley waits at home

She's has been waiting two years long

Wish I was at home for Christmas

7. SLEIGH RIDE

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

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
Like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you.

String Interlude

8. LITTLE SAINT NICK

Ooh

Merry Christmas Saint Nick

Christmas comes this time each year

Ooh, ooh

Well way up North where the air gets cold

There's a tale about Christmas

That you've all been told

And a real famous cat all dressed up in red

And he spends the whole year workin' out on his sled

It's the little Saint Nick (little Saint Nick)

Just a little bobsled we call the old Saint Nick

But she'll walk a toboggan with a four speed stick

She's candy apple red with a ski for a wheel

And when Santa hits the gas, man, just watch her peel

It's the little Saint Nick (little Saint Nick)

Run run reindeer

Run run reindeer (whoa)

Run run reindeer

Run run reindeer (he don't miss no one)

And haulin' through the snow at a frightening speed

With a half a dozen deer with Rudy to lead

He's got to wear his goggles 'cause the snow really flies

And he's cruisin' every path with a little surprise

It's the little Saint Nick (little Saint Nick)

Ooh

Merry Christmas Saint Nick

(Christmas comes this time each year)

Ooh

Merry Christmas Saint Nick

(Christmas comes this time each year)

Ooh

Merry Christmas Saint Nick

(Christmas comes this time each year) Repeat forever!

10. ROCKING AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

At the Christmas party hop

Mistletoe hung where you can see

Every couple tries to stop

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

Let the Christmas spirit ring

Later we'll have some pumpkin pie

And we'll do some caroling

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear

Voices singing, let's be jolly

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

Have a happy holiday

Everyone dancin' merrily

In the new old-fashioned way

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear

Voices singing, let's be jolly

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Rockin' around the Christmas tree

Have a happy holiday

Everyone dancin' merrily

In the new old-fashioned way

11. SILENT NIGHT

Silent night, holy night

All is calm, and all is bright

Round yon Virgin Mother and Child

Holy infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

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

12. IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER

In the bleak midwinter

long long ago

Earth stood hard as iron

Water like a stone

Snow had fallen

Snow on snow on snow

In the bleak midwinter

A Long, long time ago

What can I give him?

Poor as I am

If I were a shepherd

I would give a lamb

If I were a wise man

I’d duly play my part

What I can I give him

I will give my heart

13. JINGLE BELLS ROCK

14. FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK

It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the drunk tank

An old man said to me, "Won't see another one"

And then he sang a song, 'The Rare Old Mountain Dew'

I turned my face away and dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one, came in eighteen-to-one

I've got a feeling this year's for me and you

So, Happy Christmas, I love you, baby

I can see a better time when all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars, they've got rivers of gold

But the wind goes right through you, it's no place for the old

When you first took my hand on a cold Christmas Eve

You promised me Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome,

You were pretty, queen of New York City

When the band finished playing, they howled out for more

Sinatra was swinging, all the drunks, they were singing

We kissed on a corner, then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir

Were singing, "Galway Bay"

And the bells were ringing out

For Christmas Day

Instrumental

You're a bum, you're a punk, you're an old slut on junk

Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed

You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap, lousy faggot

Happy Christmas, your arse, I pray God it's our last

The boys of the NYPD choir

Still singing, "Galway Bay"

And the bells are ringing out

For Christmas Day

Instrumental

"I could have been someone" Well, so could anyone

You took my dreams from me when I first found you

I kept them with me, babe, I put them with my own

Can't make it all alone, I've built my dreams around you

The boys of the NYPD choir

Still singing, "Galway Bay"

And the bells are ringing out

For Christmas Day

15. WHITE WINTER HYMNAL

I was following the… (Repeat)

I was following the pack

All swallowed in their coats

With scarves of red tied 'round their throats

To keep their little heads

From fallin' in the snow

And I turned 'round and there you go

And, Michael, you would fall

And turn the white snow red as strawberries

In the summertime

I was following the pack

All swallowed in their coats

With scarves of red tied 'round their throats

To keep their little heads

From fallin' in the snow

And I turned 'round and there you go

And, Michael, you would fall

And turn the white snow red as strawberries

In the summertime

I was following the pack

All swallowed in their coats

With scarves of red tied 'round their throats

To keep their little heads

From fallin' in the snow

And I turned 'round and there you go

And, Michael, you would fall

And turn the white snow red as strawberries

In the summertime

16. CHRISTMAS TIME

Feigning joy and surprise

At the gifts we despise over mulled wine

With you

On the 25th day

Of the 12th month the sleigh bells of winter

Ringing true

How we cling each Noel

To that snowflake's hope in hell

That it would end

Don't let the bells end

Christmas time

Just let them ring in peace

When the weather is cruel

And the season of Yule warms the heart

But it still hurts

You've got your career

Spend the best part of life stood apart

And it still hurts

So that's why I pray

Each and every Christmas day

That it would end

Don't let the bells end

Christmas time

Just let them ring in peace

(Christmas time

Don't let the bells end

Christmas time

Don't let the bells end)

Dust underneath the mistletoe leaves

When you're not here

You went away upon boxing day

Now how the hell am I gonna make it into the New Year?

Christmas time

Don't let the bells end (don't let it end)

Christmas time

Don't let the bells end

Christmas time

Don't let the bells end

Christmas time

Just let them ring in peace

Christmas time (come on, kids)

Don't let the bells end (bells end)

Christmas time (ahh)

Don't let the bells end

17. LET IT SNOW

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 stopping

And I brought me some corn for popping

The lights are turned way down low

Let it snow! Let it snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight

How I'll hate going out in the storm

But if you'll really hold me tight

All the way home I'll be warm

And the fire is slowly dying

And, my dear, we're still goodbying

But as long as you'd love me so

Let it snow! Let it snow and snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight

How I'll hate going out in the storm

But if you really grab me tight

All the way home I'll be warm

Oh, the fire is slowly dying

And, my dear, we're still goodbying

But as long as you'd love me so

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

18. ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need

I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you

Yeah

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need (and I)

Don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking there upon the fireplace

Santa Claus won't make me happy with a toy on Christmas Day

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas

I won't even wish for snow (and I)

I'm just gonna keep on waiting underneath the mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it to the North Pole for Saint Nick

I won't even stay awake to hear those magic reindeer click

'Cause I just want you here tonight

Holding on to me so tight

What more can I do?

Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

Oh-oh, all the lights are shining so brightly everywhere (so brightly, baby)

And the sound of children's laughter fills the air (oh, oh, yeah)

And everyone is singing (oh, yeah)

I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need? (Yeah, oh)

Won't you please bring my baby to me?

Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas

This is all I'm asking for

I just wanna see my baby standing right outside my door

Oh, I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas (all I really want) is you, baby

All I want (I want) for Christmas (all I really want) is you, baby

19. LAST CHRISTMAS

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Instrumental

Once bitten and twice shy

I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye

Tell me baby, do you recognize me?

Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

Happy Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it

With a note saying "I love you", I meant it

Now I know what a fool I've been

But if you kissed me now, I know you'd 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

I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Instrumental

Ooh

Oh, oh, baby

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes

I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice

My God, I thought you were someone to rely on

Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry 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

I'll give it to someone special, special

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Special

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you mine)

A man under cover but you tore him apart

Maybe next year I'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone special

Special

So long

MERRY CHRISTMAS
