Idle On Parade Composer(s): Len Praverman Performer(s): Anthony Newley; Blue Cats
This is a camp that is a-mighty tough Were the marchin' men are made But I am a guy who doesn't dig that stuff And I'm idle on parade
There is a man, a Sergeant-Major Lush And he has got to be obeyed (Yeah!) And in a voice just like a little thrush He says I'm idle on parade
Now, when they gave me a rifle, well they went too far I'm much better off when I got a guitar I told the C.O. that I wanna be sent He sent me to a place where I could repent
When I was a-free, I was a crazy pup Rock-a-boogie was my trade Now Captain Burton-Bassett says I'm all shook up And I'm idle on parade
When they gave me a rifle, well they went too far I'm much better off when I got a guitar I told the C.O. that I wanna be sent He sent me to a place where I could repent
When I was a-free, I was a crazy pup Rock-a-boogie was my trade Now Captain Burton-Bassett says I'm all shook up And I'm idle on para-a-a-a-a-ade (Idle on paraa-a-a-ade)
Why am I such a misfit? I am not just a nitwit You can't fire me, I quit since I don't fit in Why am I such a misfit? I am not just a nitwit Just because my nose glows why don't I fit in?
Whos Gonna Be Your Santa Claus This Year Composer(s): Byron Baker Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
Weve spent so many Christmass together And our love filled them all with cheer But now Im spending Christmas without you So Who's Gonna Be Your Santa Claus This Year?
Whos gonna put those gifts beneath your Christmas Tree? Whos gonna pay the bills for your Christmas shopping spree? And on this Christmas Eve, whos gonna hug you close and near? Who's Gonna Be Your Santa Claus This Year?
Ah Leon
We use to sit beside the fire together And wait for the dawn of Christmas to appear But on this Christmas Eve I have to wonder Who's Gonna Be Your Santa Claus This Year?
Whos gonna put those gifts beneath your Christmas Tree? Whos gonna pay the bills for your Christmas shopping spree? And on this Christmas Eve, whos gonna hug you close and near? Honey, Who's Gonna Be Your Santa Claus This Year?
'Cause it's been so long since I held you tight When we said goodnight It's been so long, honey, can't you see What you've done to me?
I've been in a kind of daze For days and days and days Feelin' blue, missin' you In, oh, so many ways
'Cause it was so nice when we had that date Every night at eight, it was so nice Then we said goodbye, what a fool was I Let me get back in your arms where I belong

Who Says There Ain't No Santa Composer(s): Larry Boone; Kix Brooks; Paul Nelson Performer(s): Brooks & Dunn; The Wacky Redneck Hillbillies
Got a wife and two kids, all gathered around A twenty-pound turkey, snow on the ground Who says there ain't no Santa Claus
Eric wants a glove, he tears into a box His eyes are wide with wonder, I sit back and watch Who says there ain't no Santa Claus
I haven't heard a single reindeer running on my roof I just look into my children's eyes and there I see my proof And could it be that jolly old man riding in his sleigh Is really just the kid in us on every Christmas Day Who says there's no Santa Claus
Molly gets a doll, Momma's camera clicks Guess we all get the puppy, he's getting in his licks Who says there ain't no Santa Claus
I'm trying to read a card in crooked red and blue Only part that really matters is "Daddy, we love you" Who says there ain't no Santa Claus
I haven't heard a single reindeer running on my roof I just look into my children's eyes and there I see my proof And could it be that jolly old man riding in his sleigh Is really just the kid in us on every Christmas Day Who says there's no Santa Claus
Hey, I've heard there ain't no Santa Claus But I know there's got to be a Santa Claus
Who Kept The Sheep Composer(s): John R. Cash; June Carter Performer(s): Johnny Cash
The shepherds afar left their flocks by night Followed the new star by its heavenly light Did the lambs fear the wolves, did they lay down and sleep Who kept the sheep, who kept the sheep
Did robbers not steal or did they fear the light That the shepherds had followed night after night Did they not stray, did little lambs weep Who kept the sheep, who kept the sheep
Under the new star the new Saviour lay In his dim manger he lay on the hay The shepherds that came had a vigil to keep But who kept the sheep, who kept the sheep Who kept the sheep, who kept the sheep
Si J'étais Peintre Ou Maçon Composer(s): Jean Ferrat Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Si j'étais peintre ou maçon Métallo ou forgeron Que je travaille à la chaîne En écoutant ma rengaine Vous vous feriez une raison Si j'etais peintre ou maçon
Mais je gagne des millions Et combats à ma façon Votre bien-aimé système Et votre teint devient blême Quand je dis révolution Moi qui gagne des millions
Vous avez peur d'une chanson Peur de l'avenir Vous manquez d'imagination Jusqu'à en mourir
Si je sortais de prison Si je couchais sous les ponts Vous vous diriez c'est la haine Ce serait pour votre aubaine Une belle explication Si je sortais de prison
Moi qui croque vos millions Quand je chante abolissons Votre bien-aimé système Vous criez que je blasphème De vos profits le saint nom Moi qui croque vos millions
Vous avez peur d'une chanson Peur de l'avenir Vous manquez d'imagination Jusqu'à en mourir
Quand je chantais pour deux ronds Dormais sur un paillasson Vous disiez c'est la bohème Passé l'temps des cafés-crème Il changera d'opinion Quand je chantais pour deux ronds
Avec ou sans vos millions Dissippez vos illusions Vous ne m'aurez pas quand même Etre fidèle à moi-même Reste ma seule ambition Avec ou sans vos millions
Nous qui sommes des millions Vous déclarons sans façon Gardez bien votre système Car il changera quand même Que vous le vouliez ou non Nous qui sommes des millions
Who Is This Babe Composer(s): Don Potter Performer(s): The Judds
Who is this baby, where did he come from He's the son of a carpenter, the chosen one He's the hope of the ages, a gift of His love Just a child in a manger, God's only son
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Shepherds were watching out under the sky When the star over Bethlehem lit up the night He's the light in the darkness a gift from above He is held with the spirit of God's holy love
Oh Me! Oh My! (aka "Oh Me, Oh My, Oh You") Composer(s): Vincent Youmans; Ira Gershwin Performer(s): Gene Nelson & Doris Day; Kathryn Grayson
Oh me, oh my, oh my, oh me, oh you! Oh me, oh my, oh you! No other boy will do Cares would be forever ended And the world would be so splendid If you cared enough, dear, to be true Oh me, oh my, oh you (oh you) Those lips, those eyes of blue You're so handsome You're so sweet You simply lift me off my feet Oh me, oh my, oh you!
Who Is He In Yonder Stall
Composer(s): Benjamin Russell Hamby
Performer(s): Kenon D. Renfrow
Who is He in yonder stall
At whose feet the shepherds fall?
'Tis the Lord! oh wondrous story!
'Tis the Lord! the King of glory!
At His feet we humbly fall
Crown Him! crown Him, Lord of all!
Who is He in deep distress
Fasting in the wilderness?
'Tis the Lord! oh wondrous story!
'Tis the Lord! the King of glory!
At His feet we humbly fall
Crown Him! crown Him, Lord of all!
Who is He to whom they bring
All the sick and sorrowing?
'Tis the Lord! oh wondrous story!
'Tis the Lord! the King of glory!
At His feet we humbly fall
Crown Him! crown Him, Lord of all!

White Christmas Makes Me Blue Composer(s): Rich Grissom; Neil Patton Rogers Performer(s): Randy Travis
I sent out...seasons greetings To all our same old friends The tree is trimmed and in your favorite place I decked the halls with holly Built a snowman in the lane I sang jingle bells and a one horse open sleigh
But White Christmas makes me blue Every time I hear it play I think of you I remember all the good ones we knew Oh, White Christmas makes me blue
I'm trying to be happy I know you'd want me to Being sad at Christmas time aint right I'm keeping our traditions-"wishing you were here" On Christmas eve I still sing silent night
But White Christmas makes me blue Every time I hear it play I think of you I remember all the good ones we knew Oh, White Christmas makes me blue Oh, White Christmas makes me blue
Old Records Composer(s): Merle Kilgore; Arthur Goring Thomas Performer(s): Margie Singleton; Kitty Wells; Kay Starr
Old records bring back mem'ries Pictures bring back tears Do you ever think of me after all these years
I found a stack of old records that we used to listen to And there beside the records were pictures of me and you So I dusted off the records and played them one more time I listened and looked at the pictures and almost lost my mind 'Cause old records bring back...
Like the songs on the records we were a big hit of yesterday And when you held me in the pictures I didn't know I didn't know you'd fade away But old records bring back...

The sun is shining The grass is green The orange and palm trees sway I've never seen such a day In Beverly Hills LA But it's December the 24th And I am longing to be up North
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the treetops glisten And children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white
Si J'étais Elle Composer(s): Carla Bruni; Julien Clerc Performer(s): Julien Clerc
Si j'étais elle Je saurais dire tant de ces choses Tant de ces mots qu'elle ne dit pas De sa voix douce à en frémir Si j'étais elle Je ne voudrais pas de tous ces songes De tous ces drôles de mensonges Qu'elle s'invente pour s'enfuir
Mais il n'y a qu'elle Qui sait se taire ainsi Et elle se cache dans ses silences Comme une toute petite fille Mais il n'y a qu'elle Qui sait se fuir comme ça Et elle s'allonge dans son absence Tout contre moi tout contre moi
Si j'étais elle Je ne chercherais pas tellement d'excuses Paroles vaines et vains refuges Tristes armes de combat Si j'étais elle Je n'aimerais pas me voir souffrir À en crever à la maudire Pour tout ce mal qu'elle pose là
Mais il n'y a qu'elle Qui sait se taire ainsi Et elle se cache dans ses silences Comme une toute petite fille Mais il n'y a qu'elle Qui sait se fuir comme ça Et elle s'allonge dans son absence Tout contre moi tout contre moi
Si j'étais elle Je laisserais que tout se glisse Que tout se passe et très en douce C'est qu'elle est douce croyez-moi Si j'étais elle je voudrais bien juste pour voir Juste pour rien, juste comme ça, comment ça serait... Cet amour-là
Si j'étais elle Si j'étais elle Si j'étais elle Si j'étais elle
