    It's Wonderful
    Composer(s): Mitchell Parish; Stuff Smith; Robert Wells
    Performer(s): Benny Goodman
    and multiple other artists



    It's wonderful to look into your eyes
    And realise you care a little bit
    It's wonderful to know that you love me

    It's glorious to feel that I'm a part of you sweetheart
    To share your happiness
    It's marvelous how lovely love can be

    Who dreamed that I'd be allowed
    Through the doorway of heaven
    I'm drifting high on a cloud
    You're an angel and this is heaven

    It's wonderful to have your lips divine combined with mine
    And dream forever more
    It's wonderful to know that you love me

    Who dreamed that I'd be allowed
    Through the doorway of heaven
    I'm drifting high, high on a cloud
    You're an angel and this is heaven

    Oh, it's wonderful to have your lips divine combined with mine
    And dream forever more
    It's wonderful to know that you love me

    It's glorious
    It's marvelous
    Oh, Darlin', it's wonderful

    Far, Far Away On Judea's Plains
    Composer(s): John Menzies MacFarlane



    Far, far away on Judea's plains
    Shepherds of old
    heard the joyous strains
    Glory to God, Glory to God
    Glory to God in the highest
    Peace on earth
    good-will to men
    Peace on earth
    good-will to men!

    Sweet are these strains
    of redeeming love
    Message of mercy from heaven above
    Glory to God, Glory to God
    Glory to God in the highest
    Peace on earth
    good-will to men
    Peace on earth

    Lord, with the angels
    we too would rejoice
    Help us to sing with
    the heart and voice
    Glory to God, Glory to God
    Glory to God in the highest
    Peace on earth
    good-will to men
    Peace on earth
    good-will to men!

    Hasten the time when
    from every clime
    Men shall unite
    in the strains sublime
    Glory to God, Glory to God
    Glory to God in the highest
    Peace on earth
    good-will to men
    Peace on earth
    good-will to men!

    It’s Too Soon To Know
    Composer(s): Chessler
    Performer(s): Pat Boone



    Does she love me? It’s too soon to know
    Can I believe her when she tells me so?
    Is she fooling? Is it all a game?
    Am I the fire or just another flame?
    A one-sided love would break my heart
    She may be just acting and playing a part

    If she won’t love me, let her tell me so
    I can’t hold her if she wants to go
    Though I’ll cry when she’s gone
    I won’t die – I’ll live on
    If it’s so, it’s too soon, way to soon, to know

    If she won’t love me, let her tell me so
    I can’t hold her if she wants to go
    Though I’ll cry when she’s gone
    I won’t die – I’ll live on
    If it’s so, it’s too soon, way to soon, to know

    Fall Softly Snow
    Composer(s): Jean Surrey
    Performer(s): Jim Ed Brown & Helen Cornelius



    Fall softly snow
    Blanket everything with purest white
    Fall softly snow
    Everything is holy here tonight
    Shepherd boy upon the hill
    Bid your flock be very still
    Fall softly snow
    A child is born tonight

    Shine brightly star
    Wisemen bringing gifts come from afar
    Oh Holy light, brightest of them all, the Eastern Star
    Herald angels from on high
    Sing a tender lullaby
    Fall softly snow
    A child is born tonight

    The time is here
    Oh Holy Night, the angels sing
    And from on high, heavenly hosts proclaim the King
    In the manger by her side
    Mary's eyes are filled with pride
    Fall softly snow
    Fall softly snow

    The Christ child has just arrived
    ..... Silent night

    It's Too Late
    Composer(s): Chuck Willis
    First release by: Chuck Willis - 1956
    Covered by multiple other artists



    It's too late, she's gone
    (Too late, too late)
    It's too late, my baby's gone
    (Too late, too late
    Doo-wop!)
    Wish I had told her she was my only one
    Lord, it's too late, she's gone

    It's a weak man that cries
    (Ooo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo)
    So, I guess I better dry my eyes
    (Ooo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo
    Doo-wop!)
    Yes, I will miss her more than anyone
    Lord, it's too late, she's gone
    (Too late)

    She's gone, oh, she's gone
    She's gone, my baby's gone
    She's gone, yes, she's gone
    Where can my baby be?

    I wonder does she know
    (Too late, too late)
    When she left me, it hurt me so?
    (Too late, too late
    Doo-wop!)
    I need your lovin'
    Please don't make me wait
    And tell me it's not too late

    I need your lovin'
    Please don't make me wait
    And tell me it's not too late
    (It's not too late)

    Fairytale Of New York Composer(s): Shane MacGowan; Jem Finer First release by: The Pogues - 1988 Covered by multiple other artists Titles In Other Languages: 1996 - Weihnachtsnaach 2003 - Nieuwjaar In Brussel



    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
    And 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 the 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

    You're a bum
    You're a punk
    You're an old slut on junk
    Living there almost dead on a drip
    In that bed

    You scum bag
    You maggot
    You cheap lousy faggot
    Happy Christmas your arse
    I pray God
    It's our last

    I could have been someone
    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

    It's Too Late
    Composer(s): Carole King; Toni Stern
    First release by: Carole King - 1970
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
    There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
    One of us is changing, or maybe we've stopped trying

    And it's too late, baby, now it's too late

    Though we really did try to make it
    Something inside has died and I can't hide
    And I just can't fake it

    It used to be so easy living here with you
    You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
    Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool

    And it's too late, baby, now it's too late

    Though we really did try to make it
    Something inside has died and I can't hide

    And I just can't fake it

    There'll be good times again for me and you
    But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too
    Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you

    But it's too late, baby, it's too late

    Though we really did try to make it
    Something inside has died and I can't hide
    And I just can't fake it

    Everybody Knows The Claus
    Composer(s): Isaac Hanson
    Performer(s): Hanson



    Don't you smell the cookies he's bakin
    Can't you see that belly, it's shakin'
    Don't you take a cookie off that pan
    You don't want to mess with this man

    You've never seen this side of him before
    You know he wont be knockin' at your door

    Here comes Santa Claus
    Doin' all those good things
    Everybody knows the Claus
    Here come Santa Claus
    You know he's a big man
    Don't mess with the boss

    Ask Rudolph and he won't steer you wrong
    Now, Santa wasn't this fat all along
    Until he started cookin' one day
    Now don't take that turkey away

    You've never seen this side of him before
    You know he won't be knockin' at your door

    Here comes Santa Claus
    Doin' all those good things
    Everybody knows the Claus
    Here comes Santa Claus
    You know he's a big man
    Don't mess with the boss

    Ridin' down the air highway in his sleigh
    Bringing all the presents for the next day
    Don't forget the donuts

    His cookies and his milk are his pride
    Or anything that can be deep fried
    Don't get me wrong now he's a nice guy
    But you don't want to get on his bad side

    You've never seen this side of him, you've never seen this side of...

    Here comes Santa Claus
    Doin' all those things
    Everybody knows the Claus
    Here comes Santa Claus
    You know he's a big man
    Don't mess with the boss

    Every Year, Every Christmas
    Composer(s): Richard Marx; Luther Vandross
    Performer(s): Luther Vandross; Patti LaBelle



    I don't know how love could do this to me
    I've waited and waited for someone I never see
    But I'm so sentimental, and I'm so hopeful you'll be there
    So, here I am every year, every Christmas

    I've wished for you in my heart and in my head
    And I got my answer that first moment that we met
    And, oh yes, I believed you as you told me, as you said
    You'd be here every year, every Christmas

    There must be a lesson for me to learn
    If you don't trust in love, you'll get nothing in return
    Why should I be lonely, don't tell me it's right
    I have my pride, but I'd rather be with you tonight

    So much emotion, it's driving me mad
    But I'll take my chances with these feelings that I have
    And I'll come back to this same corner where we met
    And I'll be here every year, every Christmas

    Mere words can't explain the pain and the fear
    'Cause oh, I wonder, yes, I wonder are you gonna leave me standing here
    Today's almost over, but I don't want to leave
    Has my heart made a fool out of me?

    My friends gather round me with holiday cheer
    They say to forget you, to let you go 'cause you're not here
    Well, I can't keep explaining what they'll never understand
    And why I'm here every year, every Christmas
    I return every year, every Christmas
    I come here every year, every Christmas

    and multiple other artists



    Mame:
    Light the candles
    Get the ice out
    Roll the rug up
    It's today
    Though it may not be anyone's birthday
    And though it's far from the first of the year
    I know that this very minute has history in it, we're here!

    All:
    It's a time for making merry
    And so I'm for making hay

    Mame:
    Tune the grand up
    Dance your shoes off
    Strike the band up
    It's today!

    All:
    And we're living
    In the world game
    So this whole game's
    What we make

    Mame:
    Call the cops out
    Raise the rockets
    Pull the stops out

    All:
    Pull out the stops
    It's today
    Light the candles
    Fill the punch bowl
    Throw confetti
    It's today

    Girls:
    Life can also be lived on a weekday
    So don't depend on a holiday date
    If you need New Year's to bubble
    Then order a double and wait
    Doo doo doo doo dah

    All:
    There's a "thank you" you can give life
    If you live life all the way
    Pull the stops out
    Hold the roof down

    Mame:
    Fellows watch out
    It's today

    All:
    It's a time for making merry
    And so I'm for making hay
    Tune the grand up
    Call the cops out
    Strike the band up
    Pull the stops out
    Hallelujah!
    It's today!



    Reprise:


    Mame:
    Light the sparklers
    Crash the cymbals
    Blow the bugle
    It's today
    Someone gave me a wonderful present
    Something I needed and yet never knew
    So start to whistling and clapping
    'Cause under the wrapping was you!

    All:
    And we'll give life
    Quite a tumble
    And we'll live life
    All the way
    Call the cops out
    Raise the rocket
    Pull the stops out
    It's today!

    Composer(s): Robert Emmerich - Buddy Bernier
    Performer(s): Tommy Dorsey



    Dorsey: Hiya fellahs, what's new?
    The Band: Not much!
    Dorsey: Not much? Well, hello Edythe, what's new with you?
    Wright: I've got a new dance. I'd like to show it to you...

    If you've got rhythm to burn
    Here's a dance that's easy to learn
    If you don't, then your name is mud
    If you don't, you're a social dud

    'Cause ev'rybody's learnin' how to do the Big Apple (The Big Apple?)
    And it isn't very hard to do the Big Apple (The Big Apple?)
    Ten can do it just as well as two, the Big Apple (The Big Apple?)
    Ev'rybody's learnin' how to do that brand new Apple dance

    They say an apple a day will keep the doctor away
    Hey-hey, it's easy to dance your cares away
    Ev'rybody's learnin' how to do the Big Apple (The Big Apple?)
    Come on, learn to do that Apple dance

    First you gather round, then you cover ground
    To a bit of this, a bit of that, and then
    Do a Fred Astaire and a ???? air
    Truck around and then you start right in again

    You must do anything that you know
    The most important thing is just to let yourself go

    Dorsey: Say, Edythe, what's that apple you're talkin' about?
    Wright: It's a new dance they're all ravin' about...

    You truck on down and Suzie Q
    Then shag a bit, and some posin' too
    A Lindy hop, you get the lot
    Put 'em all together and what've you got
    The Big Apple (The Big Apple?)
    The Big Apple (The Big Apple)
    (Well, my my, yes yes, my my!)

    Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Jule Styne
    Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
    and multiple other artists



    I can see a steeple - surrounded by people
    Oh how real it all starts to seem
    Just as the choir is singing - my alarm starts ringing
    It's the same old dream

    And then my thoughts inspire - a scene by the fire
    In a cottage close by a stream
    I know it all by heart now - we're about to part now
    It's the same old dream

    If you but knew
    How many times I pretend - that I'm with you
    I'm sure your heart would unbend - you'd see me through
    Until my dream had a happy ending

    And I can picture clearly - the things I love dearly
    In the center you reign supreme
    We kiss and I discover - I'm a lonesome lover
    It's the same old dream

    and multiple other artists



    Es kommt ein Schiff, geladen
    bis an seinen höchsten Bord
    Trägt Gottes Sohn voll Gnaden
    des Vaters ewigs Wort

    Das Schiff steht still im Triebe
    es trägt ein teure Last
    das Segel ist die Liebe
    der Heilig Geist der Mast

    Der Anker haft´auf Erden
    und das Schiff ist am Land
    Gottes Wort tut uns Fleisch werden
    der Sohn ist uns gesandt

    Zu Bethlehem geboren
    im Stall ein Kindelein
    gibt sich für uns verloren
    gelobet muß es sein

    Und wer dies Kind mit Freuden
    küssen, umfangen will
    der muß vor mit ihm leiden
    groß Pein und Marter viel

    darnach, mit ihm auch sterben
    und geistlich auferstehn
    ewigs Leben zu erben
    wie an ihm ist geschehn

    Performer(s): Saga



    Large and tall ones, short and small ones
    Working 'round a frame
    The pieces fit so perfectly
    Like some large metal game
    The time draws near, and with it fear
    All senses a new kind
    I'll not look back, on watered thoughts
    Rearranging mine
    It's time!
    This time!
    Make me now!
    It's time!
    This time!
    Change me now!
    The book has said, that all the plans
    Would be well within my reach
    And here things were
    Even larger than I'd reamed
    This metal gift, a perfect shift
    From the art of being kind
    I'll not look back, on tired thoughts
    And all those changing minds
    It's time!
    This time!
    Make me now!
    It's time!
    This time!
    Change me now!

    Es Ist Ein' Ros'
    Composer(s): Johannes Brahms
    Performer(s): Trinity College Choir, Cambridge



    Es ist ein Ros entsprungen
    aus einer Wurzel zart
    wie uns die Alten sungen
    von Jesse kam die Art
    und hat ein Blümlein bracht
    mitten im kalten Winter
    wohl zu der halben Nacht

    Das Röslein, das ich meine
    davon Jesaia sagt
    ist Maria die reine
    die uns das Blümlein bracht'
    Aus Gottes ew'gem Rat
    hat sie ein Kind geboren
    und blieb ein reine Magd

    Das Blümelein so kleine
    das duftet uns so süß
    mit seinem hellen Scheine
    vertreibt's die Finsternis
    Wahr' Mensch und wahrer Gott
    hilft uns aus allem Leide
    rettet von Sünd und Tod

    It's The Talk Of The Town
    Composer(s): Jerry Livingston; Marty Symes; Al J. Neiburg
    First release by: Glen Gray & The Casa Loma Orch. - 1933
    Covered by multiple other artists



    We were more than lovers
    We were more than sweethearts
    It's so hard to understand

    Don't know why it happened
    Don't know how it started
    Why should we be strangers
    After all we planned

    I can't show my face
    Can't go anyplace
    People stop an' stare
    It's so hard to bear
    Everybody knows you left me
    It's the talk of the town . . .

    Every time we meet
    My heart skips a beat
    We don't stop to speak
    'Though it's just a week
    Everybody knows you left me
    It's the talk of the town . . .

    We send out invitations
    To friends and relations
    Announcing our weddin' day
    Friends and our relations
    Gave congratulations
    How can you face them?
    What can you say?

    Let's make up sweetheart
    We can't stay apart
    Don't let foolish pride
    Keep you from my side
    How can love like ours be ended?
    It's the talk of the town . . .

    How can you face them?
    What can you say?

    Let's make up sweetheart
    We can't stay apart
    Don't let foolish pride
    Keep you from my side
    How can love like ours be ended?
    It's the talk of the town . . . hmm

    It's the talk of the town

    Twee Rode Rozen
    Performer(s): Tina Rosita



    Twee rode rozen en twee gebroken harten
    Ja dat is alles wat bleef van jou en mij
    Twee rode rozen en twee gebroken harten
    Want onze liefde was veel te snel voorbij

    Twee mooie jaren dat wij gelukkig waren
    Jij gaf me al jouw liefde
    Jij gaf me al je trouw
    Toen moest je strijden
    Een ver vreemd land bevrijden
    Je bent niet terug gekomen
    Slechts een brief gehuld in 't zwart
    Twee rode rozen en twee gebroken harten
    Ja onze liefde was veel te snel voorbij

    Twee rode rozen en twee gebroken harten
    Ja dat is alles wat bleef van jou en mij
    Twee rode rozen en twee gebroken harten
    Want onze liefde was veel te snel voorbij

    It's The Same The Whole World Over (aka She Was Poor, But She Was Honest)
    (Traditional)
    Performer(s): Billy Bennett



    She was poor, but she was honest
    Though she came from 'umble stock
    And an honest heart was beating
    Underneath her tattered frock

    'Eedless of 'er Mother's warning
    Up to London she 'ad gone
    Yearning for the bright lights gleaming
    'Eedless of temp-ta-shy-on

    But the rich man saw her beauty
    She knew not his base design
    And he took her to a hotel
    And bought her a small port wine

    Then the rich man took 'er ridin'
    Wrecker of poor women's souls
    But the Devil was the chauffeur
    As she rode in his Royce Rolls

    In the rich man's arms she fluttered
    Like a bird with a broken wing
    But he loved 'er and he left 'er
    Now she hasn't got no ring

    It's the same the whole world over
    It's the poor what gets the blame
    It's the rich what gets the pleasure
    Ain't it all a bloomin' shame?

    Time has flown, outcast and helpless
    In the street she stands and says
    While the snowflakes fall around 'er
    "Won't you buy my bootlaces?"

    See him riding in a carriage
    Past the gutter where she stands
    He has made a stylish marriage
    While she wrings her ringless hands

    See him there at the theatre
    In the front row with the best
    While the girl that he has ruined
    Entertains a sordid guest

    See 'er on the bridge at midnight
    She says "Farewell, blighted love"
    There's a scream, a splash......Good 'eavens!
    What is she a-doing of?

    So they dragged 'er from the river
    Water from 'er clothes they wrung
    They all thought that she was drownded
    But the corpse got up and sung

    It's the same the whole world over
    It's the poor what gets the blame
    It's the rich what gets the pleasure
    Ain't it all a bloomin' shame?

    Tu Sens La Menthe
    Composer(s): Eugène Joullot - Félix Mortreuil - Charles Borel-Clerc
    Performer(s): Dranem



    D'chez l'coiffeur sortant l'autre semaine
    Où je m'étais fait raser le menton
    Dans la rue je rencontre une ancienne
    Qui m'embrasse et me dit tu sens bon
    Moi très flatté du compliment
    Je lui réponds fort galamment

    Pétronille tu sens la menthe
    Tu sens la pastille de menthe
    Tu sens la menthe pastillée
    Entortillée dans du papier

    Papier papier papier mâché

    Le soir même de mon hyménée
    Quand l'cérémonial fut fini
    Ma femm' me dit très emballée
    Une heure avant de se mettre au lit
    Je sens que j't'adore mon gros chéri
    C'est pas ça qu' tu sens que j'y dis

    Pétronille tu sens la menthe
    Tu sens la pastille de menthe
    Tu sens la menthe pastillée
    Entortillée dans du papier

    Papier papier papier vergé

    Sous le balcon de son idole
    Guitare en mains plume au chapeau
    Plein d'une insouciance folle
    Soupirait le beau Roméo
    Le tendre amant qui s'emballait
    Comme une baleine lui gueulait

    Pétronille tu sens la menthe
    Tu sens la pastille de menthe
    Tu sens la menthe pastillée
    Entortillée dans du papier

    Papier papier papier graissé

    Ce matin j'rencontre ma cousine
    Elle avait un air tout changé
    Je lui dis tu n'as pas bonne mine
    Elle me répond je viens de me purger
    Je dois sentir les pois d'senteur
    Non j'lui réplique mon joli cœur

    Pétronille tu sens la menthe
    Tu sens la pastille de menthe
    Tu sens la menthe pastillée
    Entortillée dans du papier

    Papier papier papier percé

    It's The Same Old Song ((French Version: C'est La Même Chanson (Claude François) - 1971)) Composer(s): Lamont Dozier - Brian Holland - Eddie Holland First release by: Four Tops - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists



    You're sweet as a honey bee
    But like a honey bee stings
    You've gone and left my heart in pain
    All you left is our favourite song
    The one we danced to all night long
    It used to bring sweet memories
    Of a tender love that used to be

    Now it's the same old song
    But with a different meaning
    Since you been gone
    It's the same old song
    But with a different meaning
    Since you been gone

    A sentimental fool am I
    to hear a old love song
    And want to cry
    But the melody keeps haunting me
    Reminding me how in love we used to be
    Keep hearing the part that used to touch my heart
    Saying together forever
    Breaking up never

    It's the same old song
    But with a different meaning
    Since you been gone
    It's the same old song
    But with a different meaning
    Since you been gone

    Precious memories keep lingering on
    Every time I hear our favourite song
    Now you're gone
    Left this emptiness
    I only reminiscence
    The happiness we spent
    We used to dance on the music
    Make romance through the music

    It's the same old song
    But with a different meaning
    Since you been gone
    It's the same old song
    But with a different meaning
    Since you been gone

    It's the same old song
    But with a different meaning
    Since you been gone
    It's the same old song
    But with a different meaning
    Since you been gone
