Sailing Home For Christmas Composer(s): Lewis Anderson Performer(s): Doug Stone
They looked out their windows At the ocean that surrounds them In the service of their country Sailin' to a foreign shore Tomorrow will be Christmas And they wish that they could be home Their wives and children need them But their country needs them more
But, they'll be sailin' home for Christmas Sailin' home for Christmas Where a welcome candle in the window gleams They'll be sailin' home for Christmas Sailin' home for Christmas Sailin' home for Christmas in their dreams
Tomorrow they'll serve turkey And they'll sing the Christmas carols They'll talk about their family Their mothers and their sons It's the strangest contradiction Singin' songs of peace and sharing As they man the battle weapons Hopin' war will never come
But, they'll be sailin' home for Christmas Sailin' home for Christmas Where a welcome candle in the window gleams They'll be sailin' home for Christmas Sailin' home for Christmas Sailin' home for Christmas in their dreams
Maybe someday they won't have to Be there anymore When they all start to live the things We have Christmas for
They'll be sailin' home for Christmas Sailin' home for Christmas Where a welcome candle in the window gleams They'll be sailin' home for Christmas Sailin' home for Christmas Sailin' home for Christmas in their dreams
School's Out Composer(s): Alice Cooper; Michael Bruce; Glen Buxton; Dennis Dunawa; Neal Smith First release by: Alice Cooper - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists
Well, we got no choice All the girls and boys Makin' all that noise 'Cause they found new toys Well, we can't salute ya Can't find a flag If that don't suit ya That's a drag
School's out for summer School's out forever School's been blown to pieces
No more pencils No more books No more teacher's dirty looks
Well, we got no class And we got no principles And we got no innocence We can't even think of a word that rhymes
School's out for summer School's out forever School's been blown to pieces
No more pencils No more books No more teacher's dirty looks Out for summer Out 'til fall We might not go back at all
School's out forever School's out for summer School's out with fever School's out completely
Rusty Chevrolet Composer(s): Jim DeCaire; Joe Potila Performer(s): Da Yoopers; The Deer Hunters
Dashing through the snow in my rusty Chevrolet Down the road I go, sliding all the way I need new piston rings I need some new snow tires My car is held together by a piece of chicken wire!
Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke, the door just blew away I light a match to see the dash and then I start to pray-ay The frame is bent, the muffler went, the radio's okay Oh, what fun it is to drive this rusty Chevrolet!
I went to IGA, to get some Christmas cheer I just passed up my left front tire and it's gettin' hard to steer Speeding down the highway, right past the county cops I have to drag my swampers just to get the car to stop
Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke, the door just blew away I light a match to see the dash and then I start to pray-ay The frame is bent, the muffler went, the radio's okay Oh, what fun it is to drive this rusty Chevrolet!
Bouncing through the snowdrifts in a big, blue cloud of smoke People laugh as I drive by; I wonder what's the joke! I have to get to Wal-Mart to pick up my layaway Cause Santa's comin' soon in his big, old, rusty sleigh!
Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke, the door just blew away I light a match to see the dash and then I start to pray-ay The frame is bent, the muffler went, the radio's okay Oh, what fun it is to drive this rusttttttttty Chevroooooooleeeeeet!
School Teacher Composer(s): Larry Cansler; Michael Martin Murphey Performer(s): Kenny Rogers & The First Edition
Open the windows, Virginia Let the wind blow the papers away Don't know if you've got it in ya' Just like a dunce in the eighth grade You'll soon be an old maid School teacher, rule creature, cool creature, school teacher
You're a beginner, Virginia Simple arithmetic shows a delay Do all the sums deep within 'ya Oh yes, and then assign the grade You'll soon be an old maid School teacher, rule creature, cool creature, school teacher
Your soul's in limbo, Virginia You found a formula for your mistakes God doesn't know where to send 'ya The Bible's black opaque keepsakes When your red hair's turning gray School teacher, rule creature, cool creature, school teacher

Out of all the reindeer you know you're the mastermind Run, run Rudolph, Randalph's not too far behind Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town Randalph he can hurry, he can take the freeway down And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a merry-go-round
Said Santa to a boy child "What have you been longing for?" "All I want for Christmas is a Rock and Roll electric guitar" And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a shooting star
Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town Can't you make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a merry-go-round
Said Santa to a girl child "What would you like most to get?" "I want a little baby doll that can cry, scream and wet" And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a Saber jet
Run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph, a running like a son-of-a-gun
School Love Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul; Barry Blue Performer(s): Barry Blue
School love - school love
The only thing you learn in school is ABC But all I wanna know about is you and me I went and told the teacher 'bout the thing we found But all she said to me is that you're out of bounds in
School love, school love Even though we broke the rule I only wanna be ruled in School love, school love You an' I will be together, end-of-term until forever
They never ever teach you in history And yet we seem to learn about it easily I went and wrote 'I love you' on the classroom wall I wanted ev'ry one to know the way to fall in
School love, school love Even though we broke the rule I only wanna be ruled in School love, school love You and I will be together, end-of-term until forever
After school, oh, I'll be walkin' you home Just me and you - my very own - very own

School Days (When We Were A Couple Of Kids) Composer(s): Will Cobb; Gus Edwards Performer(s): Byron G. Harlan and multiple other artists
Nothing to do, Nellie Darling Nothing to do you say Let's take a trip on memory's ship Back to the bygone days Sail to the old village school house Anchor outside the school door Look in and see, there's you and there's me A couple of kids once more
School days, school days Dear old golden rule days Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic Taught to the tune of the hickory stick You were my queen in calico I was your bashful barefoot beau And you wrote on my slate, "I love you, Joe" When we were a couple of kids
'Member the hill, Nellie Darling And the oak tree that grew on its brow They've built forty storeys upon that old hill And the oak's an old chestnut now 'Member the meadows so green, dear So fragrant with clover and maize Into new city lots and preferred bus'ness plots They've cut them up since those days
School days, school days Dear old golden rule days Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic Taught to the tune of the hickory stick You were my queen in calico I was your bashful barefoot beau And you wrote on my slate, "I love you, Joe" When we were a couple of kids
The Christmas Song
Composer(s): Mel Tormé; Robert Wells
First release by: The King Cole Trio - 1946
Covered by multiple other artists
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe Help to make the season bright Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh And every mother's child is gonna spy To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two Although it's been said many times, many ways Merry Christmas to you!

Up in the mornin' and out to school The teacher is teachin' the Golden Rule American history and practical math You study' em hard and hopin' to pass Workin' your fingers right down to the bone And the guy behind you won't leave you alone
Ring ring goes the bell The cook in the lunchroom's ready to sell You're lucky if you can find a seat You're fortunate if you have time to eat Back in the classroom open you books Gee but the teacher don't know How mean she looks
Soon as three o'clock rolls around You finally lay your burden down Close up your books, get out of your seat
Down the halls and into the street Up to the corner and 'round the bend Right to the juke joint you go in
Drop the coin right into the slot You gotta hear something that's really hot
With the one you love you're makin' romance All day long you been Wantin' to dance Feelin' the music from head to toe 'Round and 'round and 'round you go
Drop the coin right into the slot You gotta hear something that's really hot
Hail, hail rock'n'roll Deliver me from the days of old Long live rock'n'roll The beat of the drum is loud and bold Rock rock rock'n'roll The feelin' is there body and soul

Elk uur van de dag, van de avond en de nach As ik wakker word, de nacht was te kort Woarum bun i-j now zo an de gang? I-j loat mien wachten, wachten duurt lang
Wachten duurt lang, dat bleek al snel Want ow beloftes bunt alleen moar spel I-j hebt alleen moar noten op ow zang Want i-j loat mien wachten, wachten duurt lang
In de super veur de kassa Steet een grote mensen massa Stoa ik in een file Op meer dan twee wielen Op de snelweg in een auto ko-j niet an de gang In de file mo-j wachten, wachten duurt lang
As ik pissen mot as ik pissen mot Zit de deur op slot zit de deur op slot A'k met een zeer gebit a'k met een zeer gebit Op hete koalen zit op hete koalen zit Mot dat now echt zo? Ik bun zo bang Ik zit te bibberen en te wachten Wachten duurt lang
Elk uur van de dag, van de avond en de nach Elke minuut, elk kwartier, gemartel en gemier Plak die ellende achter het behang Loat die moar wachten, wachten duurt lang Loat die moar wachten, wachten duurt lang Loat die moar wachten, wachten duurt lang...

School Boy Crush Composer(s): Roger Ball; Malcolm Duncan; Steve Ferrone; Alan Gorrie; Onnie McIntyre; Hamish Stuart Performer(s): Average White Band
Meet me in the playground at a quarter to 4 Wait till everybody's long gone There must be so many things that we could explore Hey, baby, maybe I can walk you home
Now if it stars to rain (It starts to rain) we can take some shelter I'd like to hold your little hand, oh My head is spinning like a helter-skelter We'll get to know each other if we can
She said, "Hey, wait a minute" Hold on She said, "Hey, just a little bit" Hold on
Whenever I try to think of what it feels like to feel it For the first time and was it really such a thrill She said, "Look, boy, but don't you touch" That ain't much, it's only a school boy crush
Got to keep this secret, can't take no chance Don't want nobody else to know There is nothing wrong with trying to start a romance But we should take it nice and slow
If we play it cool (If we play it cool) it'll be alright Don't let the teacher see us talking, yeah But after school we can be out of sight Everybody's gonna think we just gone walking
She said, "Hey, just wait a minute" Hold on She said, "Hey, just a little bit now" Hold on
Whenever I try to think of what it feels like to feel it For the first time is it really such a thrill She said, "Look, boy, but don't you touch" That ain't much, it's only a school boy crush
She said, "Look, boy, but don't you touch" That ain't much, it's only a school boy crush She said, "Look, boy, but don't you touch" That ain't much, it's only a school boy crush
Oh, hoo
A-B-C-D-E-F-G Now that you're the one for me School boy crush Hey, hey Only a school boy crush
2-3-4-5-6-7 All good children got to heaven Only a school boy crush Ooh ooh Only a school boy crush, woo
Have yourself a rock & roll Christmas Like the good ones that used to be Put a shoo bop de bop and an ooh wah baby Under the Christmas tree
And a shoobee doo wah And let's get together singin' Four part harmony Just remember Santa Claus He likes rock & roll Just like you and me
Have yourself a rock & roll Christmas Do all the dances we used to do You can start the motion with the loco-motion Do the twist and the boogaloo
Do the mashed potato and the watusi You can dance until you wear out your shoes Put your troubles away for this holiday Don't let Santa catch you singin' the blues
Have yourself a rock & roll Christmas Keep the music goin' all night long Dance the night away until Santa's sleigh Brings you more of your favorite songs
There'll be rockin' and boppin' There'll be no stoppin' Just the way life used to be Just remember Santa Claus He likes rock & roll Just like you and me
Have yourself a rock & roll Christmas Have yourself a rock & roll Christmas Have yourself a rock & roll Christmas
School Composer(s): Rick Davies; Roger Hodgson Performer(s): Supertramp
I can see you in the morning when you go to school Don't forget your books, you know you've got to learn the golden rule Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work And be like Johnnie - too-good, well don't you know he never shirks - he's coming along!
After School is over you're playing in the park Don't be out too late, don't let it get too dark They tell you not to hang around and learn what life's about And grow up just like them - won't you let it work it out - and you're full of doubt
Don't do this and don't do that What are they trying to do? Make a good boy of you Do they know where it's at? Don't criticise, they're old and wise Do as they tell you to Don't want the devil to Come out and put your eyes
Maybe I'm mistaken expecting you to fight Or maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know wrong from right But while I am still living, I've just got this to say It's always up to you if you want to be that want to see that want to see that way you're coming along!
River
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
First release by: Joni Mitchell - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on But it don't snow here It stays pretty green I'm going to make a lot of money Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Oh I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly Oh I wish I had a river I made my baby cry
He tried hard to help me He put me at ease Lord, he loved me so naughty Made me weak in the knees I wish I had a river I could skate away on I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish and I'm sad Now I've gone and lost the best baby That I ever had I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Oh I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly Oh I wish I had a river I made my baby say goodbye
It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace I wish I had a river I could skate away on
