Christy Christmas
Composer(s): Tony Starr - Marty Symes
Performer(s): Brenda Lee



Santa's got a brand new helper
You're the first one to be told
He wears a hat that's trimmed with fur
And his boots are made of gold

His name is Christy Christmas
He's cute as he can be
He's made of wood
`Cause Santa carved him from a Christmas Tree

Christy Christmas 
Is loading Santa's Sleigh
He'll hook up all the reindeer 
And they'll soon be on their way

Christy Christmas
Is Santa's pride and joy
He picks out all the presents
For each little girl and boy

Perhaps you'll get a toyland playground
Full of skates and kiddie car
It has a great big slide bar you can ride
And swing that hanging star

Christy Christmas
Will make your dreams come true
And you'll love Christy Christmas
Just as much as he loves you

Christy Christmas
Will bring you pretty toys
Like talking dolls for little girls
And choo choo trains for boys

Christy Christmas
Will serve good things to eat
He'll give your little tummy tum
A cake and candy treat

Before you go to bed this Christmas
Better leave a snack or two
They'll be someone else with Santa
When he comes to visit you

Christy Christmas
They'll make into a toy
And all you children soon can play
With Santa's little boy

Shiruetto ya kage ga kakumei o miteiru
Mo tengoku no giyu no kaidan wa nai2

Silhouettes and shadows
watch the revolution
No more free steps to heaven
It's no game

Ore genjitsu kara shime dasare
Nani ga okkote irunoka wakara nai
Doko ni kyokun wa arunoka
Hitobito wa yubi o orareteiru
Konna dokusaisha ni iyashime rareru nowa kanashii

I am barred from the event
I really don't understand the situation
And it's no game

Documentaries on refugees
Couples 'gainst the target
You throw a rock against the road
And it breaks into pieces
Draw the blinds on yesterday
and it's all so much scarier
Put a bullet in my brain
and it makes all the papers 2

Nammin no kiroku eiga
Hyoteki o se ni shita koibito tachi
Michi ni ishi o nage reba
Kona gona ni kudake
Kino ni huta o sureba
Kyohu wa masu
Ore no atama ni tama o buchi kome ba
Shinbun wa kaki tateru

So where's the moral
when people have their fingers broken2
To be insulted by these fascists
it's so degrading
And it's no game

Shut up! Shutu...




Part 2:

Silhouettes and shadows
watch the revolution
No more free steps to heaven
Just walkie-talkie - heaven or hearth
Just big heads and drums - full speed and pagan
And it's no game

I am barred from the event
I really don't understand the situation
So where's the moral
People have their fingers broken
To be insulted by these fascists it's so degrading
And it's no game

Documentaries on refugees
couples 'gainst the target
Throw a rock against the road
and it breaks into pieces
Draw the blinds on yesterday
and it's all so much scarier
Put a bullet in my brain
and it makes all the papers

And it's no game

Children round the world
put camel shit on the walls

They're making carpets on treadmills
or garbage sorting

And it's no game

Christmas Without You
Composer(s): Dolly Parton - Steve Goldstein
First release by: Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers - 1984



Christmas without you
White Christmas and I'm blue
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you
The fireplace keeps burning and my thoughts keep turning
The pages of memories of time spent with you
Old Christmas songs we knew and used to make love to
Make it hard to get used to
Christmas without you

Christmas without you
White Christmas and I'm blue
I love you I miss you
So sad but so true
Christmas without you
Like a mystery with no clues
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you

The sweetest gift I know would be if the new snow
Could fall on your footsteps on this Christmas Eve
The most joyous Christmas if luck could be with us
Would be if Saint Nicholas brought you home to me

Christmas without you
White Christmas and I'm blue
I love you I miss you I need you
So sad but so true
Like a mystery with no clues
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you 

It's Nice To Go Trav'ling
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Jimmy Van Heusen
Frank Sinatra; David Newton; Si Zentner & His Orch.



It's very nice to go trav'lin'
To Paris, London, and Rome
It's oh, so nice to go trav'lin'
But it's so much nicer
Yes, it's so much nicer to come home

It's very nice to just wander
The camel route to Iraq
It's oh, so nice to just wander
But it's so much nicer
Yes it's oh, so nice to wander back

The mam'selles and frauleins
And the senoritas are sweet
But they can't compete
'Cause they just don't have
What the models have on Madison Ave.

It's very nice to be footloose
With just a toothbrush and comb
It's oh, so nice to be footloose
But your heart starts singin'
When you're homeward wingin' 'cross the foam

And you know your fate is
Where the Empire State is
All you contemplate is the view
From Miss Liberty's dome
It's very nice to go trav'lin'
But it's oh, so nice to come home

You will find the maedchen
And the gay muchachas are rare
But they can't compare with that sexy line
That parades each day at Sunset and Vine

It's quite the life to play gypsy
And roam as Gypsies will roam
It's quite the life to play gypsy
But your heart starts singin'
When you're homeward wingin' 'cross the foam

And the Hudson River
Makes you start to quiver
Like the latest flivver
That's simply drippin' with chrome
It's very nice to go trav'ling
But it's oh, so nice to come home

No more Customs
Burn the passport
No more packin'
And unpackin'
Light the home fires
Get my slippers
Make a pizza

Christmas Without Daddy
Composer(s): Jay Lee Webb
Performer(s): Loretta Lynn



Christmas Day is getting closer 
But there's sadness mixed with joy
Every day a few more questions 
From our little girl and boy
Not alone, but they'll be lonely 
For their Daddy won't be here
And just like the air at Christmas 
There'll be a chill upon the chill

Christmas without Daddy 
Will be such a lonesome day
We'll send a prayer and
All our love to you so far away
Your son just wrote to Santa 
Asked him to send you home
Yes Christmas without Daddy 
We'll be blue and all alone

Christmas without Daddy 
I don't know what we're gonna do
On the present from your baby 
She wrote, "Daddy, I love you"
Your son just wrote to Santa 
Asked him to send you home
Yes Christmas without daddy 
We'll be blue and all alone

It's Never Too Late To Be Sorry
Composer(s): James E. Dempsey; Joseph A. Burke



I watched a sweet rose droop and die 
for want of rain and wondered why
the rain drops, when at last, they came
could not restore its bloom again
you're like the rose, I'm like the rain
you wanted me and called in vain
perhaps you wondered why I'm here
I've come to say I'm sorry dear

I know on God's unerring slate the charge against me must be great 
and every sinful move I've made is entered as a debt unpaid
but in the book we all know of I've found these tender words of love 
"When tears of sweet contrition flow then scarlet sins are made as snow"

It's never too late to be sorry 
I'm sorry I taught you to care
I wish I could lift from your shoulders the cross I have made you bear 
I can't mend a heart I have broken there isn't a thing I can do 
but its never too late to be sorry and God knows I'm for you

Christmas Will Be Just Another Lonely Day
Composer(s): Lee Jackson - Pat Seymour
Performer(s): Brenda Lee



It's Christmas Eve, and snow is on the ground
Mistletoe and holly all around
Yes, all the world is happy, but since you went away
My Christmas will be just another lonely day
Yeah, another lonely day, yeah 

My tree is trimmed with pretty colored lights
And at the top, the Christmas star shines bright
Yes, everything around me is very bright and gay
But Christmas will be just another lonely day
Yeah, another lonely day, yeah 

I had a lonely September, October, November, too
But December is twice as lonely without you 

For soon it will be time for Santa Claus
And surely he will bring you back, because
Without you here beside me, my world will be so gray
And Christmas will be just another lonely day
Yeah, another lonely day, yeah
Another lonely day, yeah
Another lonely day, yeah

Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone
Judy left the same time
Why was he holding her hand
When he's supposed to be mine 

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to 
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to 
You would cry too if it happened to you 

Playing my records, keep dancing all night
Leave me alone for a while
'Till Johnny's dancing with me
I've got no reason to smile 

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to 
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to 
You would cry too if it happened to you

Judy and Johnny just walked through the door
Like a queen with her king
Oh what a birthday surprise
Judy's wearing his ring 

It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to 
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to 
You would cry too if it happened to you

C'est ma fête
Je fais ce qui me plaît
Ce qui me plaît
Ce qui me plaît
J'ai décidé
Ce soir de m'amuser

Il y a juste une année aujourd'hui
Que nous nous sommes quittés
Je vais passer cette nuit
À boire et à danser

C'est ma fête
Je fais ce qui me plaît
Ce qui me plaît
Ce qui me plaît
J'ai décidé
Ce soir de m'amuser

Sur le passé j'ai tracé une croix
J'ai déchiré tes photos
J'ai l'intention d'être heureux malgré toi
Et cela au plus tôt

C'est ma fête
Je fais ce qui me plaît
Ce qui me plaît
Ce qui me plaît
J'ai décidé
Ce soir de m'amuser

Eh les amis allons-y tous en chœur
Car tout va pour le mieux
Ne croyez pas que je pleure
Ou que je sois malheureux

C'est ma fête
Je fais ce qui me plaît
Ce qui me plaît
Ce qui me plaît
J'ai décidé
Ce soir de t'oublier

C'est ma fête
Je fais ce qui me plaît
Ce qui me plaît
Ce qui me plaît
J'ai décidé
Ce soir de m'amuser

Christmas To Christmas
Composer(s): Ron Hellard - Alan Rhody
Performer(s): Toby Keith; Lee Greenwood; Tanya Tucker



Seems like only yesterday
We put our Christmas things away
Now here's another Christmas Day with you
When you're in love, how time does fly
And this year that's just flown by
Had been one happy holiday for two

Christmas to Christmas
Wrapped in your arms
Love's always in season
And always so warm
Till my days on Earth are through
I will spend Christmas to Christmas lovin' you

Yes, the givin' season's here again
Time to love your fellow man
Yuletide smiles are in demand, it's true
The love we share is for all time
We'll feel its glow right through July
To melt the cold when winter flies anew

Christmas to Christmas
Wrapped in your arms
Love's always in season
And always so warm
Till my days on earth are through
I will spend Christmas to Christmas lovin' you

Till my days on earth are through
I will spend Christmas to Christmas lovin' you

It's My Life
(Danish Version: Se Nu Ham Der - 1991)
Composer(s): Carl D'Errico; Roger Atkins
First release by: The Animals - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



It's a hard world to get a break in
All the good things have been taken
But girl there are ways
To make certain things pay
Though I'm dressed in these rags
I'll wear sable some day
Hear what I say
I'm gonna ride the serpent
No more time spent sweatin' rent
Hear my command
I'm breakin' loose, it ain't no use
Holdin' me down, stick around

And baby, baby
Remember, remember
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think like I want
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
But some day I'll treat you real fine

There'll be women and their fortunes
Who just want to mother orphans
Are you gonna cry
While I'm squeezin' them dry
Takin' all I can get, no regrets
When I, openly lie
And live on their money
Believe me honey, that money
Can you believe, I ain't no saint
No complaints
So girl throw out
Any doubt

And baby (baby)
Remember (remember)
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think like I want
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
But some day I'll treat you real fine

(It's my life and I'll do what I want) Don't push me
(It's my mind and I'll think like I want) It's my life
(It's my life and I'll do what I want) And I can do what I want
(It's my mind and I'll think like I want) You can't tell me
(It's my life and I'll do what I want)

Christmas Time's A-Coming

Performer(s): Bill Anderson;
and various other artists



Christmas time's a-comin', Christmas time's a-comin'
Christmas time's a-comin' and I know I'm going home

Snowflakes are falling, my old home's a calling
Tall pines are humming, Christmas time's a-coming
Can't you hear them bells ringing, ringing joy, joy hear them singing
When it's snowing I'll be going back to my country home
Christmas time's a-comin', Christmas time's a-comin'
Christmas time's a-comin' and I know I'm going home

Holly's in the window, home's where the wind blows
Can't walk for running, Christmas time's a-comin'
Can't you hear them bells ringing, ringing joy, joy hear them singing
When it's snowing I'll be going back to my country home
Christmas time's a-comin', Christmas time's a-comin'
Christmas time's a-comin' and I know I'm going home

White candles burning, my old heart's a yearning
For the folks at home when Christmas time's a-coming
Can't you hear them bells ringing, ringing joy, joy hear them singing
When it's snowing I'll be going back to my country home
Christmas time's a-comin', Christmas time's a-comin'
Christmas time's a-comin' and I know I'm going home

It's My Job
Composer(s): Mac McAnally
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett
and multiple other artists



In the middle of late last night, I was sittin' on a curb
Didn't know what about but something had me quite disturbed
Street sweeper comes whistling by and he's bouncing every step
Seems strange how good he felt so I asked him while he swept

He said it's my job to be cleaning up this mess
And that's the best reason to go for me
It's my job to be better than the rest
And that makes the day for me

Got an uncle that owns a bank, he's a self made millionaire
Never had anyone to thank, never had no one to care
He always seemed kind of sad to me so I asked him why that was
And he told me it's because in my contract there's a clause

That says it's my job to be worried half to death
And that's the thing people respect in me
It's my job and without it I'd be less
Than what I expect to be

I've been lazy most all my life, singing songs and sleeping late
Any manual labor I've done is purely by mistake
If street sweepers can smile then I got no right to feel upset
But sometimes I still forget till the lights come on and the stage is set
And the song hits home and you feel that sweat

It's my job to be different from the rest
And that's the best reason to go for me
It's my job to be better than the rest
And that's a tough break for me

It's my job to be cleaning up this mess
And that's the best reason to go for me
It's my job to be different from the rest
And that makes the day for me

It's Movin' Day
Composer(s): Andrew B. Sterling; Harry Von Tilzer
Charlie Poole & the North Carolina Ramblers



Landlord said this morning to me
'Give me your key, this lot ain't free
I can't get no rent out of you
Pack up your act and skidoo, you'
'I've been waiting till my Bill comes home
He's my honey from the honeycomb
He'll have money for he told me so this morning'

Because it's moving day, moving day
I rip the carpet up off the floor
Load your oil stove and out the door
Because it's moving day
Pack your bed quilts and get away
If you spend every cent you can live out in a tent
It's moving day

Moving day, moving day
I rip the carpet up off the floor
Load your oil stove and out the door
Because it's moving day
Pack your bed quilts and get away
If you spend every cent you can live out in a tent
It's moving day

Christmas-Time Seems Years And Years Away
Composer(s): Ted Snyder - Irving Berlin



In a garden fair, sat a happy pair
'Neath a shady maple tree
She had promised him
"We'll be married, Jim
To the chimes of Trinity
"Tis the month of May, but next Christmas Day
I will be your blushing bride
Don't you worry dear
It will soon be here"
But he looked at her and sighed

"Christmas chimes mean happy times, for you and me, sweetheart
Winter time means you'll be mine, and never more to part
Honeymoon can't shine too soon, I wish it were today
Girlie mine, don't Christmas time seem years and years away?" 

"There is nothing, dear, that I have to fear
If I can't afford the ring
Santa Claus is kind 
And I'm sure he'll find
Just a plain gold band to bring
It's been just a year since I met you, dear
But it seems like just a day
If I only could, girlie dear, I would
Turn December into May" 

"Christmas chimes mean happy times, for you and me, sweetheart
Winter time means you'll be mine, and never more to part
Honeymoon can't shine too soon, I wish it were today
Girlie mine, don't Christmas time seem years and years away?"

It's Midnight And I'm Not Famous Yet 
Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett; Steve Goodman 
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett



Catch the elevator from the penthouse suite
And take it down to the casino
The god-almighty sound of money movin' round
Can be heard all the way to Reno

Well it's midnight and I'm not famous yet
Tryin' to win it all with one more bet
Nothin' can stop my thirty-two hop
Or my ten dollar yo yo yo
It's midnight, I'm just gettin' ready to roll

(Midnight)
Now Lester Polyester signs another marker
Like the high rollers do
Seven come eleven
His brand new baby needs Gucci shoes

Well it's midnight she's not famous yet
Tryin' to break the bank with one more bet
Nothin' can stop my thirty-two hop
Or my ten dollar yo yo yo
It's midnight, Lester's gettin' ready to roll

Midnight (midnight)
Midnight

(Midnight)
They're pagin' someone we know, Lester hits a keno
He's not leavin' yet
Vacuum cleaners hummin' lounge act still is strummin'
It's their twenty-fourth set
Well it's midnight they're not famous yet
Tryin' to win it all with one more bet
Nothin' can stop my thirty-two hop
Or my ten dollar yo yo yo
It's midnight, got nowhere to go (Oh oh)

Midnight (midnight)
(Oh oh oh)
Midnight (midnight)

(Oh oh oh, Midnight)
(Oh oh oh, Midnight)
(Oh oh oh, Midnight)
(Oh oh oh)

Snow flakes falling on the ground 
Mistletoe hangs all around
Last minute shoppers everywhere 
Christmas spirit fills the air
Happy little girls and boys 
Wndows filled with Christmas toys
It's that special time of youth 
O Christmas time is near

Kiddys being extra nice 
Take their moms and dads advice 
Bcause ifthey're good the way they should 
They'll get an extra gift from Santa Claus
Sleigh bells ringing here and there 
Christmas carols everywehere
It's that special time of youth 
O Christmas time is near

Kiddies being extra nice...
Oh Christmas time is near

Maybe it's too late 
I sometimes even hate myself for loving you
Trying to be strong, then night time comes along and I start loving you
Wanting you 
Where is all my self control 
I'm burning way down in my soul
And needing you, wishing I could be the man 
I try to hating me for wanting to be with you 
knowing you don't love me like you used to
But it's midnight 
Ohh and I miss you

It's getting late and I know that's when I am weak
Funny how things have a way of looking so much brighter in the daylight
I ought to go to bed to try and straighten out my head and just forget you
Oh but it's midnight, and I miss you 

It's getting late and I know that's when I am weak
Funny how things have a way of looking so much brighter in the daylight
I ought to go to bed to try and straighten out my head and just forget you
Oh but it's midnight and I miss you 

It's midnight and I miss you
