Socko The Smallest Snowball Composer(s): Freddie Morgan; Dave Myers Performer(s): The Bell Sisters
You've all heard of Alice In Wonderland Well, we have a little story We hope you'll understand It's about a little snowball We met the other day He actually spoke to us! And this is what he had to say
I'm Socko the smallest snowball But I never get a chance to play What fun for the other snowballs To be thrown back and forth all day
The kids all built a great big fort With snowballs big and round But when the battle finished I was still there on the ground
Oh, if they would only try me I'm small but I'm so fully packed I'm sure if I hit a window That window would be all cracked
The sun will soon be here they say And then I guess I'll melt away So please somebody come and play With Socko the smallest snowball
Oh, how I wish that I could be On top of some big hill Then I would roll right off and start To roll and roll until I'd get so big that all the kids Would point at me and stare And say I was the biggest, biggest Snowball anywhere
But, I'm, Socko the smallest snowball And it seems I never have much fun I'll bet if somebody would throw me I could make all the other kids run
One day a man chased all the kids He was so big and fat Oh, how the children laughed When I knocked off his big silk hat
Oh, why must I be so little? I wish I was real big instead Then if they built a snowman I might even be the head
With two big eyes A great big smile I'd make the kiddies Laugh all the while
Please somebody, give a trial To Socko the smallest snowball
Sea Of Love Composer(s): Paul Brady Performer(s): Paul Brady
Something in this mad town thrills me so Just one taste, and the juices flow Sure, I'd get crazy here before too long But right now, girl, I feel the tap is turned on Lately I've been fading away Like a old torn photograph, fingered and grey Losing myself inside this thing we share (Boom! Boom!)Babe, I'm coming up for air!
Dancing to the beat of the city at night No use in pretending that it won't feel right The power, the passion, the hunger in the eyes Something in this child's still in love with those lies We're together and you know it's true All I ever wanted was to be with you But sometimes I wonder how this dream can last When the best part of me keeps sinking so fast (feels like)
Drowning in a sea of love Going down for the third time, Baby Drowning in a sea of love Tumbling down And I'm praying to the stars above `Take me up to where my soul don't cry!' Cos I'm drowning in a sea of love Tumbling down, tumbling down
Now, I know darlin' it's a weakness in me Nothing that you do says I can't be free I dip in my foot till the toe gets wet Then I run home crying `Is this all I get?' Frightened to go, frightened to stay Frightened that our lovelight's fading away Somebody tell me how a man survives With his body and soul livin' separate lives (cos I'm)
Drowning in a sea of love Going down for the third time, Baby Drowning in a sea of love Tumbling down And I'm praying to the stars above `Take me up to where my soul don't cry!' Cos I'm drowning in a sea of love Tumbling down, tumbling down Tumbling down, tumbling down
Sea Of Joy (Italian Version: Al Ristorante - 1970) Composer(s): Steve Winwood First release by: Blind Faith - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists
Following the shadows of the skies Or are they only figments of my eyes? And I'm feeling close to when the race is run Waiting in our boats to set sail Sea of joy
Once the door swings open into space And I'm already waiting in disguise Is it just a thorn between my eyes? Waiting in our boats to set sail Sea of joy
Having trouble coming through Through this concrete blocks my view And it's all because of you
Oh, is it just a thorn between my eyes? Waiting in our boats to set sail Sea of joy
Snow Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Bing Crosby
Snow, snow, snow, snow, snow It won't be long before we'll all be there with snow Snow, snow, I wanna wash my hands
my face and hair with snow Snow...I long to clear a path, and lift a spade of snow Snow, oh, to see a great big man entirely made of snow
Snow, where it's snowing all winter through That's where I want to be Snowball throwing, that's what I'll do How I'm longing to ski through the Snow, snow, snow, snow, snow
Those glist'ning houses that seem to be built of snow Snow, oh, to see a mountain covered with a quilt of snow What is Christmas with no snow? No white Christmas with no snow Snow...
I'll soon be there with snow, I'll wash my hair with snow And with a spade of snow, I'll build a man that's made of snow I'd like to stay up with you, but I recommend a little shut-eye Go to sleep, and dream of snow, snow, snow, snow
Sea Of Heartbreak (Danish Version: To Blå Øjne - 1969) Composer(s): Paul Hamilton; Hal David First release by: Don Gibson - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists
The lights in the harbour, don't shine for me I'm like a lost ship, adrift on the sea
The sea of heartbreak Lost love and loneliness Memories of your caress So divine, how I wish You were mine, again my dear I'm on this sea of tears Sea of heartbreak
How did I lose you? Oh, where did I fail? Why did you leave me? Always to sail
This sea of heartbreak Lost love and loneliness Memories of your caress So divine, how I wish You were mine, again my dear I'm on this sea of tears Sea of heartbreak
Oh, what I'd give to sail back to shore Back to your arms once more Come to my rescue Come here to me Take me and keep me Away from the sea
The sea of heartbreak Lost love and loneliness Memories of your caress So divine, how I wish You were mine, again my dear I'm on the sea of tears Sea of heartbreak Sea of heartbreak Sea of heartbreak
Snoopy's Christmas
Composer(s): Luigi Creatore; Hugo Peretti; George David Weiss
Performer(s): The Royal Guardsmen; Mike Andes
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum [Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree] du kannst mir sehr gefallen! [Of all the trees most lovely]
The news had come out in the First World War The bloody Red Baron was flying once more The Allied command ignored all of its men And called on Snoopy to do it again
Twas the night before Christmas, 40 below When Snoopy went up in search of his foe He spied the Red Baron, fiercely they fought With ice on his wings Snoopy knew he was caught
Christmas bells those Christmas bells Ring out from the land Asking peace of all the world And good will to man
The Baron had Snoopy dead in his sights He reached for the trigger to pull it up tight Why he didn't shoot, well, we'll never know Or was it the bells from the village below
Christmas bells those Christmas bells Ringing through the land Bringing peace to all the world And good will to man
The Baron made Snoopy fly to the Rhine And forced him to land behind the enemy lines Snoopy was certain that this was the end When the Baron cried out, "Merry Christmas, my friend"
The Baron then offered a holiday toast And Snoopy, our hero, saluted his host And then with a roar they were both on their way Each knowing they'd meet on some other day
Christmas bells those Christmas bells Ringing through the land Bringing peace to all the world And good will to man
Christmas bells those Christmas bells Ringing through the land Bringing peace to all the world And good will to man

All The Way From America Composer(s): Joan Armatrading Performer(s): Joan Armatrading
You called all the way from America and said "Hang on to love, Girl" But the weeks and the months and the tears passed by And my eyes couldn't stand the strain Of that promised love All the way from America
You called all the way from America and said "I'll soon be home, Girl" But the years and the tears and the fears passed by And my heart couldn't stand the pain Of that promised love All the way from America All the way from America
I stayed all alone and I waited `round For you to knock at my door But the knock never came, and no ring at all And now I sit and wonder why You made that first call All the way from America
I don't believe I'll stay here I don't think I want to wait here anymore And if you search for me, Baby Better bring some more love Than you declared All the way from America

On va faire un tour sur le boulevard du rock'n'roll À cinq dans la TR3, il faudra que ça décolle Et le rictus d'Elvis sera mon seul sourire Pour faire la croisière de mes souvenirs
Oh oui! Souvenirs Oh oui! Souvenirs Oh oui! Souvenirs Partons en croisière sur mes souvenirs Ressors ton vieux jeans et ton blouson noir Un clin d'il à Jim et be bop a lula
Sors le transistor au bord d'un terrain vague Rallume une Lucky et regarde ma bague La tête de mort aux yeux qui brillent C'est ça la croisière de mes souvenirs
Oh oui! Souvenirs Oh oui! Souvenirs Oh oui! Souvenirs Partons en croisière sur mes souvenirs Ressors ton vieux jeans et ton blouson noir Un clin d'il à Jim et be bop a lula
On va faire un tour sur le boulevard du rock'n'roll Accompagné de Little Richard et des folles Et de Jerry Lee et Buddy Holly Pour faire la croisière de mes souvenirs
Oh oui! Souvenirs Oh oui! Souvenirs Oh oui! Souvenirs Partons en croisière sur mes souvenirs Ressors ton vieux jeans et ton blouson noir Un clin d'il à Jim et be bop a lula
Ouais Be bop a lula she's my baby Be bop a lula I don't mean maybe Be bop a lula she's my baby Partons en croisière sur nos souvenirs
Be bop a lula she's my baby Be bop a lula she's my baby
Partons en croisière sur nos souvenirs Souvenirs, ouais, souvenirs Je t'attendrai là, là, jusqu'à minuit
Slow As Christmas Composer(s): Clint Black; Hayden Nicholas Performer(s): Clint Black
You're as slow as Christmas, I was up before the dawn Up so fast I missed it, or is that old saying wrong Ev'ry Christmas Day makes ev'ry other day seem long What seemed would never get here has so quickly come and gone
I've heard old sayin's, old clichés, and most o' them make sense But we're wiser in our younger days, not easily convinced There's no way to look ahead with the wool over your eyes It seems that Santa's sled isn't the only thing that flies
You're as slow as Christmas, I was up before the dawn Up so fast I missed it, or is that old saying wrong Ev'ry Christmas Day makes ev'ry other day seem long What seemed would never get here has so quickly come and gone
We're bringin' in another year, let's throw that old one back A fine new train, I'll be the engineer and hurry down the track While I know that time is standin' still, I hear that old cliché And I'm more convinced it does until that one December day
When I'm as slow as Christmas, I'll be up before the dawn I'm not gonna miss this, I know that old saying's wrong Ev'ry Christmas Day makes ev'ry other day seem long What seemed would never get here has so quickly come and gone Come and gone
Sleepy Head Composer(s): Walter Donaldson; Gus Kahn Performer(s): The Mills Brothers
Sleepy Head, come on, get out of bed Ain't you heard the rooster crow? Must've been a week ago Good-for-nothing Sleepy Head
Sleepy Head, see the sun so bright and red? He's been up and ridin' high, but you just let the time go by Good-for-nothing Sleepy Head
Sleepy Head, I'd take away that bed But you're such a lazy pup, you'd be sleeping standing up Good-for-nothing Sleepy Head
Sleepy Head, underworked and over fed Gonna sleep the day away, "But this is such a sleepy day "I wanna be a Sleepy Head"
Sleepy Head, got to get you out of bed "You just stand around and shout until you get me tuckered out I'm bound to be a Sleepy Head"
Big boy, don't you know today is Sunday? That's no day to lay around and doze "Sunday is the day I sleep til Monday That's the way I save my go-to-meetin' clothes"
Sleepy Head, you're gonna be a long time dead Gabriel's gonna blow his horn, but you won't hear it if it's morn Good-for-nothing Sleepy Head
Sea Child Composer(s): Jorma Kaukonen Performer(s): Hot Tuna
Daily things fall off like water falling down like summer rain We see each other in confusion Wonder why we came today Sittin' lonely in our prison lookin' out for ways to sail What we'd be without confusion in our less uncommon way Through your hair across my eyes the twilight shafts in soft surprise Reminds me once again how nice it is to be with you
Sleigh Bell Serenade Composer(s): Sonny Burke; Paul Francis Webster Performer(s): Bing Crosby
When your nose is all a tingle And you're glidin' down the glade Can't you hear the jolly jingle Of the sleigh bell serenade
Every tree's a frozen statue In a winter masquerade And the moon is winking at you 'Tis a sleigh bell serenade
In the summer on a hay ride, night or day ride You can pass the cider jug But in the winter, every sleigh ride is a gay ride You can sneak a hug `neath the old bear rug
All the world's a wide umbrella For a fella and his mate What a lovely night to tell her 'Tis a sleigh bell serenade
(When your nose is all a tingle) (And you're glidin' down the glade) Can't you hear the jolly tingle Of the sleigh bell serenade
Every tree's a frozen statue In a winter masquerade And the moon is winking at you 'Tis a sleigh bell serenade
(In the dunder on a hay ride, night or day ride) (You can pass the cider jug) Ah, but in the winter, every sleigh ride is a gay ride You can sneak a hug `neath the old bear rug
(All the world's a wide umbrella) For a fella and his mate What a lovely night to tell her 'Tis a sleigh bell serenade
I saw a sweet, a seemly sight A blissful burd, a blossom bright That morning made and mirth among A maiden mother meek and mild In cradle keep a knave child That softly slept; she sat and sung Lullay, lulla balow My bairn, sleep softly now
