A Star Is Born Composer(s): Paul Brandt Performer(s): Paul Brandt
Christmas time again The perfect end To a not-so-perfect year At last it's here Hustle bustle to and fro From store to store, to get one more Of whatever is in style this year
On the marquis sign at 5 and 9 The latest movie shows, and it starts to snow Children look into the sky To see if reindeer really fly, who knows But when it comes down to this season Above it all there's still a reason To just look up
A star is born tonight Come to make things right Angels singing, anthems ringing Glory to the King A star is born tonite
Silent holy night, Heaven's sacred light Shines all around and joy resounds In manger hay the baby Jesus came to seek And save the lost until they're found Peace on earth, a new beginning He's the gift that keeps on giving To all of us
A star is born tonight Come to make things right Angels singing, anthems ringing Glory to the King A star is born tonite
Glory hallelujah, glory to the King of Kings Merry Christmas to you all the joy the season brings Angels singing, anthems ringing Glory to the King A star is born tonight

A Spaceman Came Travelling Composer(s): Chris de Burgh Performer(s): Chris de Burgh and multiple other artists
A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar 'twas light years of time since his mission did start And over a village he halted his craft And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star... He followed a light and came down to a shed Where a mother and a child were lying there on a bed A bright light of silver shone round his head And he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid...
Then the stranger spoke, he said 'Do not fear I come from a planet a long way from here And I bring a message for mankind to hear' And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air...
And it went la, la... Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child...
This lovely music went trembling through the ground And many were wakened on hearing that sound And travellers on the road, the village they found By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all round...
And just before dawn at the paling of the sky The stranger returned and said 'Now I must fly When two thousand years of your time has gone by This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry...'
And it went la la... This song will begin once again to a baby's cry... And it goes la la... Peace and goodwill to all men and love for the child... Oh the whole world is waiting, waiting to hear that song again There are thousands standing on the edge of the world And a star is moving somewhere, the time is nearly here This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry...
I'm Tired Composer(s): Buck Peddy; Ray Price; Mel Tillis Performer(s): Webb Pierce and multiple other artists
Oh Lord, I'm tired Tired of living this old way
Standing on the corner of a busy street I'm looking for your face in every crowd I see Checking every honky tonk in this town I'm trying to find the places that you hang around
Oh Lord, I'm tired Tired of living this old way
I've been waiting on you baby night and day I'm wondering if your love will ever come my way My times running out and I'm slowing down I'm tired of being just another hang around
Oh Lord, I'm tired Tired of living this old way
There ain't no happiness in anything I do I find myself so lonely when I'm not with you What makes you just the kind of girl a guy will love You got so many others that your thinking of

I'm Tired Composer(s): Chris Youlden Performer(s): Savoy Brown
I'm tired of being a fool And my mind going from hot to cool And trying to conform to others ideas And someone else's rules
The life I'm living ain't mine I'm supposed to feel that's fine I didn't make the world I'm living in And I ain't gonna toe the line
I'm tired of trying to be something I know ain't me I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be You know some people are different Now ain't that a crying shame Now wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same
And I'm not going to try to please Eyes that just don't see If I get myself together You'll have the blues not me
I'm tired of trying to be something I know ain't me I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be You know some people are different Now ain't that a crying shame Now wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same
And I'm not going to try to please Eyes that just don't see If I get myself together You'll have the blues not me
A Sailor's Christmas Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett; Roger Guth Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett
Sail on the horizons gotta landfall rendezvous Captain steers a well-known course, he steers straight and true As he trims the sheets, he sings a song He learned on boats and bars Sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour 'neath the stars
He's traveled through the doldrums, typhoons and hurricanes He's logged a million soggy miles with water on his brain But Christmas is the season better suited for dry land
He'll tell some lies, meet some spies And dance barefoot in the sand
(Chorus) The sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour on the hook Caye con les, no work today, let's shell the ol' log book The waterfront is reveling, the season has begun The sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour having fun
There's a party down at Le Selecte, music, rum and cheers Faces in the shadows, God, I haven't seen for years A mast and shroud fill with lights 'Neath the waning of the moon They're an airy celebration in the realm of King Neptune
(Chorus)
Jesus was a fisherman who walked upon the sea The North Pole is ocean's remote frozen balcony The continents keep drifting but the children sing and play 'Cause nothing really matters, after all it's Christmas day
The sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour on the hook Vaye con les, no work today, he read it in a book The waterfront is reveling, the season has begun A sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour having fun A sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour having fun Havin' fun... havin' fun...havin' fun
Im Tiefen Keller Composer(s): Ludwig Fischer; Karl Müchler Performer(s): Ivan Rebroff; Letzenbergstare
Im tiefen Keller sitz' ich hier Bei einem Faß voll Reben Bin frohen Mut's und lasse mir Vom Allerbesten geben Der Küfer holt mir gleich 'ne neue Flasche vor Gehorsam meinem Winke Füllt mir das Glas Ich hielt's empor Und trinke, trinke, trinke
Mich plagt ein Dämon, Durst genannt Und um ihn zu verscheuchen Neh'm ich mein großes Glas zur Hand Und lass mir Wodka reichen Die ganze Welt, na ja, erscheint mir nun In rosaroter Schminke Ich könnte keinem böses tun Wenn ich trinke, trinke, trinke!
We're havin' a redneck christmas
With traditional possum stew (yee-haw)
We're havin' a redneck christmas
Hope Santa brings a little rabbit too (yum yum)
Got Paw new chaw redman
Maw a brand new spit cup (phtoeey)
And I got my wife a brand new set
Of re-treads for my pickup truck
(Ain't he the sweetest thang)
Oh we ain't nevr seen ther raindeer
But we painted the bulls nose red (moo)
Put runners under the outhouse
And we're usin' it fer a sled
(Darn fool idiots what're doin?
Sorry didn't know you was in there grandpaw
Merry Christmas now ya hear?
Well, I got yer merry christmas right here
Come back with thet catalog)
We're havin' a redneck christmas
TP'd the whole front yard
Put big red bows on the hound dogs
Turned the lights on all the cars (howls)
I love a redneck christmas
It's a simple kinda life
You buy one gift and that takes care
Of yer cousin and yer wife
I went downtown to see Santy Claus
Gave a dollar to one of them legs
(Here you go shorty)
So Santa'd bring a man for daughter
After all she's near bout' twelve
(Poor thing she'll be a spinster soon)
We're havin' a redneck christmas
Hung our stockings on the stove
On the stove (sizzle)
Hope Santa brings us big stuff
'Cause the little stuff falls thru the toes, falls thru the toes
We's havin' a redneck christmas
With homemade moonshine eggnog (glug glug)
I took a little swig
Thought it needed more kick
Throwed in a little toe de frog
(burp, hic, ribbit, hic, ribbit)
(Hic)
I'm Through With Love Composer(s): Fud Livingston; Matty Malneck; Gus Kahn Performer(s): Marilyn Monroe and multiple other artists
I have given you my true love But you love a new love What am I supposed to do now With you now, you're through? You'll be on your merry way And there's only this to say
I'm through with love I'll never fall again Said adieu to love Don't ever call again For I must have you or no one Because I'm through with love
I've locked my heart I'll keep my feelings there I have stocked my heart With an icy, Frigidaire For I mean to care for no one Because I'm through with love
Why did you lead me to think you could care? You didn't need me for you had your share of slaves around you to hound you and swear with deep emotion, devotion to you
Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me It could never bring the things that used to be For I must have you or no one So I am through with love
Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me It can never bring the thing that used to be For I must have you or no one Because I'm through with love
I'm The Urban Spaceman Composer(s): Neil Innes Performer(s): The Bonzo Dog Band
I'm the urban spaceman baby, I've got speed I've got everything I need I'm the urban spaceman baby, I can fly I'm a supersonic guy
I don't need pleasure I don't feel pain If you were to knock me down I'd just get up again I'm the urban spaceman babe and I'm making out I'm all about
I wake up every morning with a smile upon my face My natural exuberance spills out all over the place I'm the urban spaceman I'm intelligent and clean Know what I mean?
I'm the urban spaceman, as a lover second to none It's a lot of fun
I never let my friends down I've never made a boob I'm a glossy magazine an advert in the tube I'm the urban spaceman babe, but here comes the twist I don't exist
It was the night before Christmas, when all through the abode
Only one creature was stirring, and she was cleaning the commode
The children were finally sleeping, all snug in their beds
While visions of Nintendo and Barbie, flipped through their heads
The dad was snoring in front of the TV
With a half-constructed bicycle on his knee
So only the mom heard the reindeer hooves clatter
Which made her sigh, "Now what's the matter?"
With toilet bowl brush still clutched in her hand
She descended the stairs, and saw the old man
He was covered with ashes and soot, which fell with a shrug
"Oh great!!" muttered the mom
"Now I have to clean the rug"
"Ho-Ho-Ho!!" cried Santa
"I'm glad you're awake
Your gift was especially difficult to make"
"Thanks, Santa, but all I want is some time alone"
"Exactly!!" he chuckled
"I've made you a clone"
"A clone?" she asked
"What good is that?
Run along, Santa
I've no time for chit-chat"
It was the mother's twin
Same hair, same eyes, same double chin
"She'll cook, she'll dust, she'll mop every mess
You'll relax, take it easy, watch the Young and the Restless"
"Fantastic!!" the mom cheered
"My dream come true!
I'll shop
I'll read
I'll sleep a whole night through!"
From the room above, the youngest began to fret
"Mommy?!? I'm scared, and I'm wet"
The clone replied "I'm coming, sweetheart"
"Hey," the mom smiled "She knows her part"
The clone changed the small one, and hummed a tune
As she bundled the child, in a blanket cocoon
"You're the best mommy ever
I really love you"
The clone smiled and sighed "I love you, too"
The mom frowned and said "Sorry, Santa, no deal
That's my child's love that she's trying to steal"
Smiling wisely Santa said
"To me it is clear
Only one loving mother is needed here"
The mom kissed her child, and tucked her into bed
"Thank you, Santa, for clearing my head
I sometimes forget it won't be very long
When they'll be too old, for my cradle-song"
The clock on the mantle began to chime
Santa whispered to the clone
"It works every time"
With the clone by his side, Santa said "Good night
Merry Christmas, Mom
You'll be alright"
I'm The Toughest Composer(s): Peter Tosh Performer(s): Peter Tosh; Bunny Wailer
Anything you can do I can do it better I'm the toughest I'm the toughest And I can do what you can't do You'll never try to do what I do I'm the toughest I'm the toughest
Stop from doing wrongs Change your foolish plans Stop from doing wrongs Just live up like a man
I'm the toughest I'm the toughest
Now my little brothers You've got to be good Do what's right Don't be bad-minded Just take what's yours And there'll be no fuss or fight
Stop from doing wrongs Change your foolish plan Stop from doing wrongs Just live up like a man
I'm the toughest I'm the toughest
Now my brothers You've got to be good Just do what you know is right Don't be bad minded Just take what's yours And there'll be no fuss or fight
I said I love my brothers I said I love my sisters I don't covet my neighbor And I love my neighbor
A Merry Christmas At Grandmother's (Traditional) Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters
Over the river and through the woods To Grandmother's house we go The horses await to carry the sleigh Through the white and drifting snow
Over the river and through the woods Oh how the wind does blow It stings the toes and bites the nose As over the ground we go
Oh, over the river and through the woods Now Grandmother's cap I spy Hurrah for the fun, is the pudding done Hurrah for the pumpkin pie
Over the river and through the woods And straight to the farmyard gate Spring over the ground like a hunting hound For this is Christmas day
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Hark the bells are ringing Hear the children singing Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Merry, Merry Christmas and a Glad New Year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Hark the bells are ringing Hear the children singing Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Merry, Merry Christmas and a Glad New Year
Oh, over the river and through the woods We must hurry, we mustn't be late We seem to be going extremely slow It is so hard to wait
Over the river and through the woods Oh, how the wind does blow Hurrah for the fun, is the pudding done For this is Christmas day
Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas Hark, all the bells are ringing Hear the children singing
Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas Merry, Merry Christmas and a Glad New Year
Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas And a Glad New Year
