    It's Just A Matter Of Time
    Composer(s): Clyde Otis; Brook Benton; Belford Hendricks
    First release by: Brook Benton - 1959
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Someday, some way, you'll realize that you've been blind
    Yes, darling, you're going to need me again
    It's just a matter of time

    Go on, go on, until you reach the end of the line
    But I know you'll pass my way again
    It's just a matter of time

    After I gave you everything I had
    You laughed and called me a clown
    Remember, in your search for fortune and fame
    What goes up must come down

    I know, I know that one day you'll wake up and find
    That my love was a true love
    It's just a matter of time

    Christmas Song Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan First release by: Gilbert O'Sullivan - 1974



    I'm not dreaming of a white Christmas
    I'm not dreaming of a white Christmas
    All I'm dreaming of the whole day long
    Is a peaceful one (peaceful one)

    Merry Christmas, Happy New Year
    To those of you who live in fear
    And let us hope that very soon
    The peace you seek will then resume

    I'm not dreaming of a white Christmas
    I'm not dreaming of a white Christmas
    All I'm dreaming of the whole day long
    Is a peaceful one (peaceful one)

    I'm not dreaming of a white Christmas
    I'm not dreaming of a white Christmas
    All I'm dreaming of the whole day long
    Is a peaceful one (peaceful one)

    Merry Christmas, Happy New Year
    To those of you who live in fear
    And let us hope that very soon
    The peace you seek will then resume

    It's In The Book
    Composer(s): Johnny Standley; Art Thorsen
    Performer(s): Johnny Standley



    I have a message for you, a very sad message!
    My subject for this evening will be Little Bo Peep

    It says here, "Little Bo Peep", who was a little girl
    "has lost her sheep, and doesn't know where to find them"
    Now that's reasonable, isn't it?
    It's, it's reasonable to assume if Little Bo Peep had lost her sheep
    it's only natural that she wouldn't know where to find them
    That, that basically is reasonable, but, uh, "leave them alone"
    Now that overwhelms me … completely overwhelms me
    The man said she lost her sheep, turns right around and boldly states
    "She doesn't know where to find them"
    And then has the stupid audacity to say, "Leave them alone!"
    Now! Now, now think for a moment! Think!
    If the sheep were lost, and you couldn't find them
    you'd have to leave them alone, wouldn't you?
    So, "Leave them alone"
    "Leave them alone"
    It's in the book!

    "Leave them alone and they", they being the sheep, "they will come home"
    Ah yes, they'll come home
    Oh, there'll be a brighter day tomorrow, they will come home!
    It's in the book

    "They will come home a-waggin' their tails"
    Pray tell me what else could they wag?
    "They will come home a-waggin' their tails behind them, behind them!"
    Did we think they'd wag them in front?
    Of course, they might have come home in reverse
    They could have done that, I really don't know
    But, none the less, it's in the book

    So now if you will, kindly pick up your books, and turn to page 222
    We'll ask you all to sing
    You'll find your books on the backs of your seats
    Are we ready?

    Everyone, 222
    Let's really enjoy ourselves, let's live it up
    All together

    Do you remember grandma's lye soap?
    Good for everything in the home
    And the secret was in the scrubbing
    It wouldn't suds and couldn't foam

    Then let us sing right out for grandma's, for grandma's lye soap
    Used for, for everything, everything on the place
    For pots and kettles, the dirty dishes
    And for your hands and for your face

    So we'll now sing the second verse
    Let's get it with great exuberance, let's live it up
    It's not raining inside tonight
    Everyone, let's have a happy time
    Are we ready?
    All together, the second verse

    Little Herman and brother Thurman
    Had an aversion to washing their ears
    Grandma scrubbed them with the lye soap
    And they haven't heard a word in years

    Then let us sing right out for grandma's, for grandma's lye soap
    Sing all out, all over the place
    For pots and kettles, the dirty dishes
    And for your hands and for your face

    Well, let's sing what's left of the last verse
    Let's have a happy time, everyone
    The last verse, all together
    Everyone!

    Mrs. O'Malley, out in the valley
    Suffered from Ulcers, I understand
    She swallowed a cake of grandma's lye soap
    Has the cleanest ulcers in the land

    Then let us sing right out for grandma's, for grandma's lye soap
    Sing right out, all over the place
    The pots and, the pots and pans, oh dirty dishes
    And for your hands and for your face

    Christmas Serenade
    Performer(s): Johnny Maestro



    I walk along the city streets, as it's nearing Christmas day
    And the falling snow is music to my ears
    In the rumble of the subways, in the shoppers hustling by
    There's a melody in everything I hear

    It's like a Christmas serenade
    Street musicians and the horse drawn sleigh
    Coloured street lights watch the world at play
    A Christmas serenade

    From the Santas on the corner, to the skaters in the park
    Every sound's another symphony to me
    I can hear the Christmas carols, from the children in the square
    Singing songs in perfect harmony

    It's like a Christmas serenade
    Street musicians and the horse drawn sleigh
    Coloured street lights watch the world at play
    A Christmas serenade

    Deep in my heart I can hear a song
    Wish the feeling lasted all year long

    It's like a Christmas serenade
    Street musicians and the horse drawn sleigh
    Coloured street lights watch the world at play
    A Christmas serenade

    It's like a Christmas serenade
    Street musicians and the horse drawn sleigh
    Coloured street lights watch the world at play
    A Christmas serenade

    There’s great excitement here and there

    Zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, high and low
    Zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo, here we go

    It’s in the air
    I feel so smart and debonair
    And I must warn each lady fair
    Beware, look out and have a care
    It’s in the air

    It’s in the air
    This funny feeling everywhere
    The sun is shining everywhere
    And spring makes everybody sing

    And I must warn each lady fair

    Christmas Shopping Composer(s): Buck Owens - Charles H. Anderson Performer(s): Buck Owens



    I got ten toy soldiers for Billy Joe I got coloring book for Sue
    I got a little toy train for Danny boy and a cowboy suit for Loui
    I got a talkin' baby doll for Cindy I got a pair o'roller skates for Jane
    And baby if we ever have any more kiss Christmas shoppin's gonna drive me insane

    Gonna go this Christmas shopping well I wonder if I'll ever get through
    I tried to get everybody somethin' that they wanted
    But I didn't know what to get you
    I read the kids letters to Santa Claus I read 'em over one by one
    And I surely like to get my hands on the fella that said Christmas shoppin's fun
    I got ten toy soldiers...

    Well I must've walked a hundred miles or more I went to every store in town
    My feet started swellin' and my head started achin'
    And I couldn't find a place to sit down
    But to tell you the truth well I really don't mind it I could even walk another mile
    Cause on Christmas mornin' when they open up the presents
    Well it's worth it just to see them smile
    I got ten toy soldiers...

    Does he love me; I wanna know

    and you're not listening to all I say

    Christmas Present Composer(s): Rick Braun - Nick Lane Performer(s): Rick Braun



    Christmas present, Christmas tree
    Children's eyes are wide to see
    Santa's present 'neath the tree
    All day asked for on his knee

    Christmas present, Christmas past
    From the presents, which one's last
    Christmas future sure to be
    Looking underneath the tree

    For the present, look high, not low
    Christmas was a gift itself many years ago
    Christmas presents at the start
    Was a gift from someone's heart

    Christ is Christmas, that day is His
    That's what Christmas presents is

    (Adapted from: Somos Novios - 1970)
    Composer(s): Sid Wayne; Armando Manzanero
    Performer(s): Perry Como - 1970
    and multiple other artists



    It's impossible to tell the sun to leave the sky
    It's just impossible
    It's impossible to ask a baby not to cry
    It's just impossible
    Can I hold you closer to me
    And not feel you going through me
    But the second that I never think of you
    Oh, how impossible

    Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore
    It's just impossible
    If I had you could I ever ask for more
    It's just impossible
    And tomorrow, should you ask me for the world
    Somehow I'd get it, I would sell my very soul
    And not regret it for to live without your love
    Is just impossible

    Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore
    It's just impossible
    If I had you could I ever ask for more
    It's just impossible
    And tomorrow, should you ask me for the world
    Somehow I'd get it, I would sell my very soul
    And not regret it for to live without your love
    Is just impossible
    Oh impossible
    Impossible

    Boxes stacked up to the ceiling
    All wrapped up in Christmas feeling
    Golden bells caress the mistletoe
    The colors glow-red, silver, green and blue
    And this I know this rainbow came from you trimmed with dew
    Tho my heart is overflowing
    Loving all the love you're showing
    What I'd value most would be your call
    To tell me when you'll be home in my arms again
    The loveliest Christmas present of them all
    What I'd value most would be your call
    To tell me when you'll be home in my arms again
    The loveliest Christmas present of them all

    When you turn to the subject of Harry
    That's a horse from a different safari
    He can box like a fox, he's as dumb as an ox
    But it's Harry I'm planning to marry

    (Yes, it's Harry she's plannin' to marry)

    My heart's twined around his suspenders
    He's the one that I truly adore
    I'm numb, I succumb when he renders
    The face on the bar room floor

    When he flexes his muscles, I flutter
    Like a butterfly caught in a shutter
    When he calls me his mate
    I just disintegrate

    Since the world first began (Since the world first began)
    Never been such a man (Never been such a man)
    Who could love like he can
    So it's Harry I'm planning to marry!

    I'll be your girl - of Christmas Past
    I'll be your girl - of Christmas Present
    I'll be your girl - for Christmas Future
    'Cause you make me wanna say
    Back when we were ten, we were the best of friends
    But who knew back then, that this love would never end?
    It was Christmas Day, now I heard you say
    That we'd be together, and we'd take it all the way
    Now that we are grown, I never feel alone
    On this Christmas Eve, by your side I wanna be
    Snow is falling down, cheer is all around
    Makes me wanna say, I will be right here
    I'll be your Christmas past, present and future, baby
    Your yesterday, everyday, tomorrow too
    I'll be your Christmas past, present and future, baby
    I will be right here
    (I'm gonna be there for you)
    My heartg goes jing-a-ling, each time those sleigh bells ring
    We'll forever be together, you're my everything
    I know that this is real, I like the way it feels
    When we're hangin' by the fireside, cuddling
    Under the mistletoe, I'll show you what I know
    You'll be my present, baby, and I'll never let you go
    'Cause at this Christmastime, so gla that you are mine
    Makes me wanna say, I will be right here
    I'll be your Christmas past, present and future, baby
    Your yesterday, everyday, tomorrow too
    I'll be your Christmas past, present and future, baby
    I will be right here
    (You know I'm gonna be here)
    Not just a Christmas thing
    Year 'round, the joy you bring
    It just makes my heart sing
    When I'm with you
    So at this Christmastime
    With your lips kissing mine
    I'm gonna celebrate
    This love we share
    I'll be your Christmas past, present and future, baby

    It's Hard To Kiss The Lips At Night That Chew Your Ass Out All Day Long
    Composer(s): Rodney Crowell; Vince Gill
    Performer(s): The Notorious Cherry Bombs



    She used to call me baby
    I thought she was such a lady
    But my, how things have changed
    Since times moved on

    I gave her my last dollar
    And now all she'll do is holler
    Oh, my life has become
    A country song

    I've learned she can resist me
    By the way she always disses me
    And comes to bed at night
    With that cold cream on

    Sometimes I might feel frisky
    But these days it's just too risky

    It's hard to kiss the lips at night
    That chew your ass out all day long
    All day long
    It goes on and on

    If a tree fell in the forest, she didn't hear it
    Would I still be wrong?
    I guess I should admit it
    She ain't never gonna quit it

    It's hard to kiss the lips at night
    That chew your ass out all day long

    Man I remember when her eyes
    Used to be so blue and shiny
    God you oughta see
    What's happened to her hiney
    (Her what?) her hiney

    Man that thing is big enough
    To land a small plane on
    (Small plane?) I'm tellin' ya
    I used to roll her in the clover (Mmm, hmm)
    But thank God those days are over (Halleluiah!)

    It's hard to kiss the lips at night
    That chew your ass out all day long
    All day long
    She goes all day long

    If some day they drop the big one
    I'd say sweet Jesus
    She's gonna finally leave me alone

    It's alright if we say it
    'Cause the radio won't play it

    It's hard to kiss the lips at night
    That chew your ass out all day long
    It's hard to kiss the lips at night
    That chew your ass out all day long...

    (Jack) Come on now ev'ry coal black Joe
    You just lead me t'the mistletoe
    With a kiss and a hi-de-ho
    Christmas night in Harlem
    (Johnny) Hee Hee, man, Dog, what'd Santa Claus leave in your stockin'?
    (Jack) Let me see, there's an orange, a jar of Kink-Out and Man, look at this slide trombone
    (Johnny) Yeah, but it might not sound so pretty, let me hear you tune it
    (Jack) Mr Mercer, I'm glad to be
    Back in this festivity
    (Johnny) Ah, you said it Mr T
    It's Christmas night in Harlem
    (Jack) Well it's Christmas night in Harlem
    Man, you drew the pitful

    It's Hard To Be Humble
    Composer(s): MacDavis
    Performer(s): MacDavis



    Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
    When you're perfect in every way
    I can't wait to look in the mirror
    'cause I get better looking each day
    To know me is to love me
    I must be a hell of a man
    Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
    But I'm doing the best that I can

    I used to have a girlfriend
    But I guess she just couldn't compete
    With all of these love-starved women
    Who keep clamouring at my feet
    Well, I probably could find me another
    But I guess they're all in awe of me
    Who cares--I never get lonesome
    'cause I treasure my own company

    Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
    When you're perfect in every way
    I can't wait to look in the mirror
    'cause I get better looking each day
    To know me is to love me
    I must be a hell of a man
    Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
    But I'm doing the best that I can

    I guess you could say I'm a loner
    A cowboy outlaw tough and proud
    Oh I could have lots of friends if I want 'em
    But then I wouldn't stand out in a crowd
    Some folks say that I'm egotistical
    Hell, I don't even know what that means
    But I think it has something to do with the way
    That I fill out my skin-tight blue-jeans

    Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
    When you're perfect in every way
    I can't wait to look in the mirror
    'cause I get better looking each day
    To know me is to love me
    I must be a hell of a man
    Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
    But I'm doing the best that I can

    Christmas Memories
    Composer(s): Joey Miskulin
    Performer(s): Frankie Yankovic



    Hello, this is 'Weird Al' Yankovic
    You know, some of my favorite memories
    are those of Christmastime
    I still remember when I was a little boy, just waiting for the big day
    Mom would be cooking up a mess of boysenberry
    and tunafish burritos for our big Christmas dinner
    and dad would be decorating the tree with little bits of Spam
    And then, the big day would finally arrive
    I'd stay up all night and wait for Santa
    a-a-and when he finally showed up
    we'd all hold his hands down in the waffle maker
    until he promised to give us everything we wanted
    Ah, yeah, those were the days
    Well, Merry Christmas everybody, and, let's do lunch

    It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City
    Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
    First release by: Bruce Springsteen - 1973



    I had skin like leather and the diamond-hard look of a cobra
    I was born blue and weathered but I burst just like a supernova
    I could walk like Brando right into the sun, then dance just like a Casanova
    With my blackjack and jacket and hair slicked sweet
    Silver star studs on my duds, just like a Harley in heat
    When I strut down the street, I could feel its heart beat
    The sisters fell back and said, "Don't that man look pretty"
    The cripple on the corner cried out, "Nickels for your pity"
    Them gasoline boys downtown sure talk gritty
    It's so hard to be a saint in the city

    I was the king of the alley, Mama, I could talk some trash
    I was the prince of the paupers, crowned downtown at the beggar's bash
    I was the pimp's main prophet, I kept everything cool
    Just a backstreet gambler with the luck to lose
    And when the heat came down it was left on the ground
    The devil appeared like Jesus through the steam in the street
    Showin' me a hand I knew even the cops couldn't beat
    I felt his hot breath on my neck as I dove into the heat
    It's so hard to be a saint when you're just a boy out on the street

    And the sages of the subway sit just like the living dead
    As the tracks clack out the rhythm, their eyes fixed straight ahead
    They ride the line of balance and hold on by just a thread
    But it's too hot in these tunnels, you can get hit up by the heat
    You get up to get out at your next stop, but they push you back in your seat
    Your heart starts beatin' faster as you struggle to your feet
    Then you're outa that hole and back up on the street

    And them South Side sisters sure look pretty
    The cripple on the corner cries out, "Nickels for your pity"
    And them downtown boys sure talk gritty
    It's so hard to be a saint in the city

    Christmas Memories
    Composer(s): Alan Bergman - Marilyn Bergman - Don Costa
    Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
    and multiple other artists



    Singing carols, stringing popcorn
    Making footprints in the snow
    Memories, Christmas memories
    They're the sweetest ones I know

    Cookies baking in the kitchen
    Carols in rhythm everywhere
    Precious, Christmas memories
    Float like snowflakes in the air

    Oh the joy of waking Christmas morning
    The family 'round the tree
    We had a way of making Christmas morning
    As merry as can be

    I close my eyes and see shining faces
    Of all the children who now have children of their own
    Funny, but comes December
    And I remember every Christmas I've known

    It's Happening To You
    Composer(s): John Prine; John Burns
    Performer(s): John Prine; Chris Hillman



    Well it's the same old song
    Boy meets girl
    And girl meets boy
    They carry on
    They close their eyes
    And kiss until the world is gone
    Oh yes it's true
    It's happening to you

    You know what they say
    They pledge their love forever
    Then they add a day
    They hold their hands so tight
    In the fear
    That one might stray
    Oh yes it's true
    It's happening to you

    I loved her
    She loved me too
    We had a lot of love
    Now it's all through

    And for a while
    Their hearts beat one
    As they match each other
    Smile for smile
    They dance away the night
    As they praise
    The others style
    Oh yes it's true
    It's happening to you

    Christmas Memories Composer(s): Randy Albright - John Greenebaum - Becky Hobbs Performer(s): Alabama; Groovegrass Boyz; Eddie Kamae



    There's a blanket of snow coverin' up the old road
    To the house where I was raised
    Through the window I see the lights on the tree
    And a glow from the old fireplace
    Though it all looks the same, so much has changed
    From the way it used to be

    Christmas memories of happy years gone by
    They come back to me and keep me warm inside
    Still those memories make me cry

    Now the stockings are filled, the oldhouse is still
    And the kids are dreamin' away
    There's that old easy chair, me and Daddy sat there
    Waiting for Santa's sleigh
    Now Daddy's gone, but we'll carry on
    'Cause the little ones still need

    Christmas memories of happy years gone by
    They come back to me and keep me warm inside
    Still those Christmas memories
    Oh, they mean so much to me
    Woh, those Christmas memories make me cry
