She was afraid to come out of the locker She was as nervous as she could be She was afraid to come out of the locker She was afraid that somebody would see... Two, three, four, tell the people what she wore
It was an itsy bitsy, teenie weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini That she wore for the first time today An itsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini So in the locker she wanted to stay.... Two, three, four, stick around we'll tell ya more
She was afraid to come out in the open And so a blanket around her she wore She was afraid to come out in the open And so she sat bundled up on the shore... Two, three, four, tell the people what she wore
It was an itsy bitsy, teenie weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini That she wore for the first time today An itsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini So in the blanket she wanted to stay... Two, three, four, stick around we'll tell ya more
Now she's afraid to come of the water And I wonder what she's gonna do Now she's afraid to come out of the water And the poor little girl's turnin' blue Two, three, four, tell the people what she wore...
It was an itsy bitsy, teenie weenie, yellow polka-dot bikini That she wore for the first time today An itsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini So in the water she wanted to stay
From the locker to the blanket From the blanket to the shore From the shore to the water Guess there isn't any more!
Forever Christmas Eve Composer(s): Greg Barnhill; Phil Swann Performer(s): Lee Ann Womack
It's something so magical, incomprehensible Yet it's so sensible, this you and me The snow on the street outside that catches the blue moonlight Why can't it always be forever Christmas Eve
Sparks from a midnight flame, the giggle of French champagne A kiss sends us about half way to fantasy Wait mister brand new year, why can't we stay right here Oh, how I wish it could be forever Christmas Eve
A distant bell is ringing out across the winter land It's singing out a song of things to come And though this kind of holiday is not what we had planned It's wonderful tonight
It's something so magical, incomprehensible Yet it's so sensible, this you and me The snow on the street outside that catches the blue moonlight Why can't it always be forever Christmas Eve
Sparks from a midnight flame, the giggle of French champagne A kiss sends about half way to fantasy Wait mister brand new year, why can't we stay right here Oh, how I wish it could be forever Christmas Eve
Wait mister brand new year, spare us a little cheer Why can't it always be forever Christmas Eve Forever Christmas Eve

Sur une plage il y avait une belle fille Qui avait peur d'aller prendre son bain Elle craignait de quitter sa cabine Elle tremblait de montrer au voisin Un deux trois elle tremblait de montrer quoi?
Son petit itsi bitsi tini ouini, tout petit, petit, bikini Qu'elle mettait pour la première fois Un itsi bitsi tini ouini, tout petit, petit, bikini Un bikini rouge et jaune à p'tits pois Un deux trois voilà ce qu'il arriva
Elle ne songeait qu'à quitter sa cabine Elle s'enroula dans son peignoir de bain Car elle craignait de choquer ses voisines Et même aussi de gêner ses voisins Un deux trois elle craignait de montrer quoi?
Son petit itsi bitsi tini ouini, tout petit, petit, bikini Qu'elle mettait pour la première fois Un itsi bitsi tini ouini, tout petit, petit, bikini Un bikini rouge et jaune à p'tits pois Un deux trois voilà ce qui arriva
Elle doit maintenant s'élancer hors de l'ombre Elle craint toujours les regards indiscrets C'est le moment de faire voir à tout le monde Ce qu'il la trouble et qui la fait trembler Un deux trois elle a peur de montrer quoi?
Son petit itsi bitsi tini ouini, tout petit, petit, bikini Qu'elle mettait pour la première fois Un itsi bitsi tini ouini, tout petit, petit, bikini Un bikini rouge et jaune à p'tits pois
Si cette histoire vous amuse On peut la recommencer Si c'est pas drôle on s'excuse En tout cas c'est terminé

It's Your World Composer(s): Marty Robbins Performer(s): Marty Robbins
It's your world and your smile turns on my sunshine You have all the power it takes to make me blue You control the way I feel both day and night time It's your world and I'm just passin' through
Let me live, let me live Let me live in, live in your world If only for part of the time There must be, there must be Oh sweet love, love in your world 'Cause there just isn't any in mine
It's your world and I don't belong in it Foolishly I keep pretending that I do From the start you've made it plain that you don't want me It's your world and I'm just passin' through
For Christ's Sake, It's Christmas Composer(s): Hank Cochran; Dean Dillon Performer(s): George Strait
Let there be not one stranger to away in a manger Let there be not one soul left untold Let there be not one face unknown to the face of the one Who will gather the force
For Christ's sake, it's Christmas So for Christ's sake let everyone know They all have the choice so lift up your voice Make sure they know by Christmas Eve Pray that everyone sees That we've opened the eyes that were closed For Christ's sake it's Christmas And for Christ's sake let everyone know
For Christ's sake, it's Christmas So for Christ's sake let everyone know They all have the choice so lift up your voice Make sure they know by Christmas Eve Pray that everyone sees That we've opened the eyes that were closed For Christ's sake it's Christmas And for Christ's sake let everyone know
It's Your Turn Composer(s): John Entwistle Performer(s): The Who
Up here on the ledge I'm getting pushed to the edge People line up behind me to step into my shoes Up here in the precipice I'm getting close to my nemesis People fighting each other to jump into my blues
There's a young kid inside me somewhere He stays up all night, a vampire that never dies With the blood and the moon in his eyes I hear his voice when I'm comin' down Sleep is for fools, whe never see the sunrise Who never get to live twice
I was a face in a magazine When you were still playin' with your plasticine Now you're doggin' my tail, ridin' the slipstream You can take the fans and the enemies The little girls who squeeze and tease Then pass on their social disease Go get your penicillin
I know you young and dumb I know where you're comin' from Don't know where you're goin' to But I bin there same as you You're running out of ideas And new hats to try on I know you middle age Same song, different page I know what you're goin' through Made the same mistakes as you All you want is some hope And a shoulder to cry on
There's a stranger inside me somewhere That shadow behind me, don't even look like me An echoed apology He's a wolf in sheep disguise I wake up in places I don't even recognize Pretender in paradise
It's your turn, step up and take it If you've got the guts to hang on You can make C'mon, c'mon, come on Ooooh take it!
First Christmas In Love Composer(s): Janice Kapp Perry Performer(s): The Perry Family
Are the lights a little brighter this year Is the snow a little whiter this year Is the glow from the fireplace as soft as it seems It wraps me with happiness fills me with dreams
Is my step a little quicker this year Is my heart a little bigger this year Maybe nothing has changed but it seems so because It's my first Christmas In love
There s magic in the music this year There is joy in every carol I hear And the sweet Christmas feelings the sights and the sounds Are somehow more wonderful this time around
Is my smile a little brighter this year! Is the world a little righter this year? Maybe nothing has changed but it seems so because It s my first Christmas in love
All the wonders of Christmas have been there before Bur this year it seems to mean so much more! It's our first Christmas In love
It's the best Christmas that ever was Through the years we remember This season because it was our first Christmas in love Spoken "Isn't that the misteltoe?"

First Christmas Composer(s): Stan Rogers Performer(s): Stan Rogers; The Black Family; The McCalmans
This day a year ago He was rolling in the snow With a younger brother in his father's yard Christmas break, a time for touching home The heart of all he'd known And leaving was so hard
Three thousand miles away Now he's working Christmas Day Making double time for the minding of the store Well he always said, he'd make it on his own He's spending Christmas Eve alone First Christmas away from home
She's standing by the train station Pan-handling for change Four more dollars buys a decent meal and a room Looks like the Sally Ann place after all In a crowded sleeping hall That echoes like a tomb
But it's warm and clean and free And there are worse places to be At least it means no beating from her Dad And if she cries because it's Christmas Day She hopes that it won't show First Christmas away from home
In the apartment stands a tree And it looks so small and bare Not like it was meant to be Golden angel on the top It's not that same old silver star You wanted for your own First Christmas away from home
In the morning, they get prayers Then it's crafts and tea downstairs Then another meal back in his little room Hoping maybe that "the boys" Will think to phone before the day is gone Well, it's best they do it soon
When the "old girl" passed away He fell apart more every day Each had always kept the other pretty well But the kids all said the nursing home was best Cause he couldn't live alone First Christmas away from home
In the common room they've got the biggest tree And it's huge and cold and lifeless Not like it ought to be And the lit-up flashing Santa Claus on top It's not that same old silver star You once made for your own First Christmas away from home
For Your Country And My Country Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): George Gershwin; Frances Alda; Irving Berlin
We know you love your land of liberty We know you love your U.S.A. But if you want the world to know it Now's the time to show it Your Uncle Sammy needs you one and all Answer to his call
For your country and my country With millions of real fighting men
It's your duty and my duty To speak with the sword, not a pen
If Washington were living today With sword in hand he'd stand up and say
For your country and my country I'll do it all over again
America has opened up her heart To ev'ry nationality And now she asks of ev'ry nation Their appreciation It makes no diff'rence now from where you came We are all the same
The Gift Composer(s): P. Moore; Ray Scott Performer(s): Randy Travis
He was born in Bethlehem they say There was a star to light the path to where He lay Rich or poor they came from far and near 'Cause they'd all heard the reason He was here
He was the Son God sent to one and all Put on this earth to hang there on that cross Born to die so we could live He had the birthday, we got the gift
They wrapped him up with gentle hands God hoped the world would understand Eternal life we shall receive And all that He asks in return is that we just believe
He was the Son God sent to one and all Put on this earth to hang there on that cross Born to die so we could live He had the birthday, we got the gift
There's no way in this world we could repay The miracle He gave us on that day
He was the Son God sent to one and all Put on this earth to hang there on that cross born to die so we could live He had the birthday, we got the gift
It's You, Only You Composer(s): Ferdinand Bakker; Ake Danielson; Hugo Sinzheimer; Job Tarenskeen; John Vee; Erik de Zwaan First release by: The Meteors - 1979
Let's say goodbye to our friends of the night (ni, ni, ni) There's nothing for us here Always been longing for a moment like this (oh, oh, oh) Don't want to waste it here Isn't it strange how sure you can be when you find the one you want Isn't it strange how crazy you go when you finally won the one that you want A moment like this (oh, oh, oh) Maybe baby, we can make it
It's You, It's You, Only You Well, I know what I want and I'm sure I can get it But It's You, It's You, Only You Well, I know what I want and I'm sure I can get it
I'm loosing my heart for you And I'm prepared to lose my life Ermmmm, Mein Schmertz Maybe, we can make it Maybe, maybe, we can make it
It's You, It's You, Only You Well, I know what I want and I'm sure I can get it But It's You, It's You, Only You Well, I know what I want and I'm sure I can get it
It's You, It's You, Only You It's You, It's You, Only You But It's You, It's You, Only You Well, I know what I want and I'm sure I can get it It's You, It's You Mein Schmertz ...
It's You Or No One Composer(s): Jule Styne; Sammy Cahn First performance by: Doris Day - 1948 Covered by multiple other artists
How did I know know that the warmth of the glow would last And how did I guess that the long loneliness was past? I merely looked at you, and I knew, then and there I knew
It's you or no one for me I'm sure of this each time we kiss Now and forever and when forever's done You'll find that you are still the one
So please don't say "no" to my plea 'Cause if you do, then I'm all through There's this about you: my world's an empty world without you It's you or no one for me
It's a matter of now and forever, when forever is all done You'll find that you are still the one So please don't say "no" to my plea 'Cause if you do, then I'm all through
There's this about you: my world's an empty world without you It's you or no one for me
Feels Like Christmas Composer(s): Eric Bazilian; Rob Hyman; Cyndi Lauper Performer(s): Cyndi Lauper
If you want to see me Don't break down and cry I can be your sweetie If you be a friend of mine And I won't be forsaken If you think thoughts unkind Just bring home the bacon And bring it home on time
Hey Louie, can't you see I couldn't leave you if I tried Hey Louie, listen to me We got a thing so dignified It don't matter if we lived in a shack Or in a shiny cadillac It don't matter rich or poor When love is knocking at your door
It feels like Christmas Just like Christmas It feels like Christmas with you...
Hey Louie, life is sweet I can't be bitter When you're here with me Hey Louie, no regrets Holding on to things That you ought to forget Well, it doesn't matter tit for tat 'Cause what you give You get it back It don't matter anymore When love is knocking at your door
It feels like Christmas Just like Christmas It feels like Christmas with you Everytime I see ya Everytime I hear ya Everytime I'm near ya I'd be happy Because it feels like Christmas Just like Christmas It feels like Christmas With you...

Father Christmas
Composer(s): Ray Davies
First release by: The Kinks - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists
When I was small I believed in Santa Claus Though I knew it was my dad And I would hang up my stocking at Christmas Open my presents and I'd be glad
But the last time I played Father Christmas I stood outside a department store A gang of kids came over and mugged me And knocked my reindeer to the floor
They said Father Christmas, give us some money Don't mess around with those silly toys We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over We want your bread so don't make us annoyed Give all the toys to the little rich boys
Don't give my brother a Steve Austin outfit Don't give my sister a cuddly toy We don't want a jigsaw or monopoly money We only want the real McCoy
Father Christmas, give us some money We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed Father Christmas, give us some money Don't mess around with those silly toys
But give my daddy a job 'cause he needs one He's got lots of mouths to feed But if you've got one, I'll have a machine gun So I can scare all the kids down the street
Father Christmas, give us some money We got no time for your silly toys We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over We want your bread so don't make us annoyed Give all the toys to the little rich boys
Have yourself a merry merry Christmas Have yourself a good time But remember the kids who got nothin' While you're drinkin' down your wine
Father Christmas, give us some money We got no time for your silly toys Father Christmas, please hand it over We'll beat you up, so don't make us annoyed
Father Christmas, give us some money Don't mess around with those silly toys We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over We want your bread, so don't make us annoyed Give all the toys to the little rich boys
