Itchycoo Park (Italian Version: Splende Il Sole Negli Occhi Tuoi - 1990) Composer(s): Ronnie Lane; Steve Marriott First release by: Small Faces - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Over bridge of sighs To rest my eyes in shades of green Under dreamin' skies To Itchycoo Park, that's where I've been
What did you do there? I got high What did you feel there? Well I cried But why the tears then? I'll tell you why It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful
Feel inclined to blow my mind Get hung up feeding ducks with a bun They all come out to groove about Be nicer than fun in the sun
Tell you what I'll do (what will you do?) I'd like to go there now with you You can miss out school (won't that be cool) While I learn about the words of fools What will we do there? We'll get high What will you touch there? Touch the sky But why the tears then? I'll tell you why
It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful
I feel inclined to blow my mind Get hung up feeding ducks with a bun They all come out to groove about Be nicer than fun in the sun
It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful It's all too beautiful Ha! It's all too beautiful
Bells will be ringing, the glad, glad news Oh, what a Christmas, to have the blues My baby's gone I have no friends To wish me greetings, once again Choirs will be singing, Silent Night Oh, Christmas Carols, by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas Please come home for Christmas If not for Christmas, by New Year's Night
Friends and relations Send salutations Just as sure as the stars shine above This is Christmas, Christmas my dear The time of year to be with the one that you love
Then will you tell me, you'll never more roam Christmas and New Year will find you home There'll be no more sorrow No grief or pain 'Cause I'll be happy that it's Christmas once again

Behold a branch is growing of lov'liest form and grace as prophets sung, foreknowing it springs from Jesse's race and bears one little flow'r in midst of coldest winter at deepest midnight hour
Isaiah hath foretold it in words of promise sure and Mary's arms enfold it a virgin meek and pure Thro' God's eternal will this child to her is given at midnight calm and still
O savior, child of Mary who felt our human woe O savior, king of glory who dost our weakness know bring us at length, we pray to the bright courts of heaven and to the endless day

Bedtime For Toys Composer(s): Ron Miller; Orlando Murden Performer(s): Stevie Wonder
Close your eyes, beddy bye tin soldier Mommy says that it's time for sleep If my folks were wiser and older They'd know kids and toys don't need sleep
Don't be bad little cotton dolly See how nice Mickey Mouse sleeps now? Even my brass drummer boy has stopped all his noise 'Cause he knows it's past bedtime for toys
Ya know, every Christmas Santa Claus goes all over the world with his reindeer sled, and a big bag of toys and he'll come to your house this year too But sometimes, just sometimes, he doesn't have enough time to see every little boy and girl because the world is so big So maybe we should sing a song for all the children that Santa didn't visit
Bless the child who has no tin soldier No brass drummer boy to put to bed He will still grow wiser and older Loving one small rag doll instead
He won't have a cotton dolly Mickey Mouse won't come to his house Hold that rag doll to your heart, nothing can destroy The beauty one shall find in one small toy

You see the clientele walk in And watch the cabaret begin It`s such a special place to be There is so much that you can see You see the lover`s deep in dreams And those who querrel making scenes You see a maestro and the clown And all the famous from the town
When it`s time to wine and dine There`s a favorite place of mine Ring the Maître D' And ask if maybe he Can have a table free at nine He`ll be there to welcome me To this crazy comedy Where the rich and famous love to be
The pretty lady who appears Is trying hard to hide the years The gigolo who walks behind Is only mindy on his mind
The movie star will always pose To get the maximum applause It`s like a circus everywhere And so exciting to be there
When it`s time to wine and dine There`s a favorite place of mine Ring the Maître D' And ask if maybe he Can have a table free at nine He`ll be there to welcome me To this crazy comedy Where the rich and famous love to be
My Italian restaurant Gives me everything I want La la la.. My Italian restaurant Won`t you come along with me To this crazy comedy Where the rich and famous love to be

Now is the time for sleigh bells to ring
Now is the time for children to sing

Because it's Christmas time
Christmas time is a comin'
Santa's not far away
You can almost hear his ho ho ho
And the jingleing of his sleigh
Italian Girls Composer(s): Rod Stewart; Ron Wood Performer(s): Rod Stewart
I've got two and more to show I was dreaming of a mobile that couldn't be mine not without lyin' Was I feeling kind a silly when I stepped in soakin' beer down the cola machine Oh, stayin' seventeen Well she claimed she was a killer and she owned a flood lit villa a little aways from the main highway Oh take me way down yonder
She was tall, thin and tarty and she drove a Maserati faster than sound I was heaven bound Although I must have looked a creep in my army surplus jeep Was I being too bold before the night could get old No, no, no, no She proved me so wrong
Oh the Italian girls sometimes hold their religious habits in front of your eyes, just to get you tied Ah but not my little Bella 'cause I did not have to tell her I'd rather you go with the morning sun, she made me so tired
She took me way, way, away down yonder till I was gone with the morning sun on my back Gotta get on back there soon as I can Take me there And I miss the girl so bad She broke my heart Gotta get on back there soon as I can I miss the girl, I miss the girl, I miss the girl so bad I was a lot better off

I could wander the byways, rewander too But it wouldn't be the same without you Those familiair old places would just make me blue 'cause it wouldn't be the same without you

Beautiful Christmas
Composer(s): Mary B. Slade - Rigdon McIntosh
O'er the hills and adown the snowy dells As the echoes ring of the Christmas bells Angel songs in our hearts resound again Singing peace on earth and good will to men
Bring pine and fir tree, weave the garlands bright Gladden the temple of the King tonight Christmas is here, fill it with cheer Make it glorious with joy and light
Bring good will to the suffering and sad Speak the tender word that shall make them glad Tell them how, o'er the hills of Bethlehem When the angels sang, 'twas good news for them
Bring pine and fir tree, weave the garlands bright Gladden the temple of the King tonight Christmas is here, fill it with cheer Make it glorious with joy and light
Peace on earth, bid all strife and tumult cease For this night again gives the Lord His peace While our hands shall His temple beautify Carol, glory be unto God most high
Bring pine and fir tree, weave the garlands bright Gladden the temple of the King tonight Christmas is here, fill it with cheer Make it glorious with joy and light
So glad hearts on this happy Christmas night Bring your gifts of love, make His altar bright Sing glad songs that shall sweetly sound as when Angels sang of peace and good will to men
Bring pine and fir tree, weave the garlands bright Gladden the temple of the King tonight Christmas is here, fill it with cheer Make it glorious with joy and light

And it won't rain always God's promises are true The sun's gonna shine in His own good time And He will see you through
