There is a Child born of our blessed Virgin
I heard a Maid lullaby to sing
Peace, my dear Child, of thy weeping
For thou shalt be our Heavenly King
Now sing we, and now sing we
To the Gloria tibi Domine
O Mother! O Mother! your wishes are nought
It is not for me such carols are wrought
Such carols were never by woman thought
To the Gloria tibi Domine
Now sing we, and now sing we
To the Gloria tibi Domine
O my dear Son, why sayest thou so?
Thou art my Son, I have no moe
When Gabriel begot thee, full of grace
Thou needest not tell me of this case
Now sing we, and now sing we
To the Gloria tibi Domine
O they will thrust, Mother, my head from my hair
With a crown of thorns they will me not spare
And with the sharp spears my heart will tear
To the Gloria tibi Domine
Now sing we, and now sing we
To the Gloria tibi Domine
O come you here, Mother, and you shall see
My hands and my feet nailed to the rood tree
And my feet, Mother, are fastned thereby
A vile sight, Mother for you to see
Now sing we, and now sing we
To the Gloria tibi Domine
And now sing we more or less
And welcome be this merry Christmas
(I've Got A) Crush On You Composer(s): George Gershwin; Ira Gershwin) First performance/First recording by: Mary Hay & Clifton Webb/Lee Wiley & Max Kaminsky's Orch. - 1928/1939 Covered by multiple other artists
How glad the many millions of Annabelles and Lillians Would be to capture me But you had such persistence, you wore down my resistance I fell and it was swell
I'm your big and brave and handsome Romeo How I won you I shall never, never know It's not that you're attractive But, oh, my heart grew active When you came into view
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie All the day and night-time give me sign I never had the least notion that I could fall with so much emotion
Could you coo, could you care For a cunning cottage we could share The world will pardon my mush 'Cause I have got a crush on you
Could you coo, could you care For a cunning cottage That we could share The world will pardon my mush 'Cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you

I got up this morning While I was having my coffee My woman came in, sat down by my side With tears in her eyes She said ´I´ve a confession to make´ I said ´Woman, speak what´s on your mind´
She said ´I´ve found somebody new To take your place´ ´I said don´t feel so all alone I´ve found someone of my own´
´All those lonely nights You left me all alone My true love would call And talk to me on the phone´ I said ´Woman, if that´s the way it´s gotta be Then darlin, don´t you worry about me´
She said ´ I´ve found somebody new To take your place´ ´I said don´t feel so all alone I´ve found someone of my own´
I got up from the table Reached down and wiped the tears From her face I put out my cigarette Turned and walked away
She said ´I´ve found somebody new To take your place´ ´I said don´t feel so all alone I´ve found someone of my own´

People making lists, buying special gifts It's a time to be kind to one and all It's that time of year when good friends are dear And you wish you could give more Than just presents from a store
Why don't you give love on Christmas day (on Christmas day) Oh even the man who has everything Would be so happy if you would bring Him love on Christmas day (on Christmas day) No greater gift is there than love
People you don't know smiling out hello Everywhere there's an air of Christmas joy It's that once a year, when the world's sincere And you'd like to find a way To show the things that words can't say
Why don't you give love on Christmas day (on Christmas day) The man on the street and the couple upstairs All need to know that there's one cares Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day) No greater gift is there than love What the world needs is love Yes the world needs your love
Why don't you give love on Christmas day (on Christmas Day) Oh every little child on Santa's knee Has room for your love underneath his tree Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day) No greater gift is there than love What the world needs is love Yes the world needs your love

The first Noel the angels did sing
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields as they lay
In fields fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the king of Israel
And to the Earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the king of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the king of Israel
When blossoms flowered 'mid the snows upon a winter night Was born the Child the Christmas Rose The King of Love and Light The angels sang, the shepherds sang The grateful earth rejoiced And at His blessed birth the stars Their exultation voiced
O Come let us adore Him O come let us adore Him O come let us adore Him Christ the Lord
Again the heart with rapture glows to greet the holy night that gave the world it's Christmas Rose It's king of Love and Light Let ev'ry voice acclaim His name The grateful chorus swell From paradise to earth He came that we with Him might dwell
O come let us adore him O come let us adore Him O come let us adore Him Christ the Lord Ah! O come let us adore Him Ah! O come let us adore Him Ah! Adore Him, Christ, the Lord O come, O come O come let us adore Him Let us adore Him Christ, the Lord

We must have been stone crazy when we thought we were just friends 'Cause I miss you, baby And I've got those feelings again I guess I'm all confused about you I feel so in love Oh, baby, what can I do? I've been thinking about you I've been thinking about you I've been thinking about you I've been thinking about you, shi-pow-pow!
Suddenly we're strangers I watch you walking away She was my one temptation Oh, I did not want her to stay Deep down, I'm still confused about you
I feel so in love Oh, baby, what can I do? I've been thinking about you I've been thinking about you I've been thinking about you I've been thinking about you, shi-pow-pow!
What good is being her without you?
I feel so in love Oh, baby, what can I do? I've been thinking about you I've been thinking about you I've been thinking about you I've been thinking about you, shi-pow-pow! (repeat)

Gentle Mary laid her Child Lowly in a manger There He lay, the undefiled To the world a Stranger Such a Babe in such a place Can he be the saviour? Ask the saved of all the race Who have found His favour
Angels sang about His birth Wise men sought and found Him Heaven's star shone brightly forth Glory all around Him Shepherds saw the wondrous sight Heard the angels singing All the plains were lit that night All the hills were ringing
Gentle Mary laid her Child Lowly in a manger He is still the undefiled But no more a Stranger Son of God of humble birth Beautiful the story Praise His Name in all the earth Hail! the King of Glory!

I've been married just as long as you have And I get tired of the same old things Just the same as you have Well let me tell you this, big boy
When you go out for a night of joy You better start taking me along Or you'll be singing a different song For I've been married just as long as you have
Porter: While I'm working hard all day you run around and spend my pay You entertain your friends at my expence But you cry and carry on When I do something on my own And you accuse with lack of evidence
I've been married just as long as you have And I get tired of the same old things Just the same as you have So let me tell you this, sweetheart I figure I've done my part So don't get cute and get so smart I'll tell you this before you start I've been married just as long as you have
Dolly: And that's a pretty good while
Porter: Honey, you're the cat I've spent nine lives with
Dolly: I know you have, you ain't spent no time at home You're running around all over town You're here and there everywhere
Porter And if I could stand you long enough I might stay at home a little more
Dolly: You move so fast a umbrella'd be in your way, honey If it was raining
Porter: Oh boy, now ain't that cute If your heart was as big as your mouth You'd give everything we owned away
Dolly: But I love you, you little devil So don't you ever take off and leave me now here by myself I'll hit you right in the
Porter: I wouldn't, I wouldn't trust you with yourself
Dolly: I'll hit you right in the mouth, honey, and it'll go
Porter: You will, golly!
Dolly: Ah, but then you'll look like you've had the mumps When I get done kissing you
Porter: Why don't you do it now, I ain't had the mumps
Dolly: I'm a-gonna do it, here it goes, golly I'll get you in line, that's true
