I’ve Gone And Lost My Little Yo-Yo
Composer(s): Fred Shuff; Walter Kemp
Performer(s): Billy Cotton



Hello old chap, you’re looking miserable

Alan:
So would you be miserable

I’m sad and disappointed
I’m as sore as I can be
When the missus finds what’s happened
She’ll be more upset than me
There’ll be no peace for me at home
It’s sure to cause some strife
I’ve lost the only thing that seemed
To charm our married life

I had it when I left the house at half past ten
I had it in my hand alright
I showed it to a woman at the corner, then
It filled her with delight
The wife will want to play with it
When I get home
But I can’t find it, oh no
It means we’ll have to part
It’s sure to break her heart
When she finds I’ve gone and lost
My little yo-yo

I did all kind of tricks with it
Could trail it on the ground
I could swing it up and swing it down
And swing it round and round
I’ll have to get another one
No matter what it costs
It may not please the missus
Like the one I’ve gone and lost

I had it when I left the house at half past ten
I had it in my hand alright
I showed it to a woman at the corner, then
It filled her with delight
The wife will want to play with it
When I get home
But I can’t find it, oh no
Sher’ll take the only course
And sue for a divorce
When she finds I’ve gone and lost
My little yo-yo

I showed it to Matilda
She’s the barmaid at the Crown
I taught her how to play with it
And swing it up and down
It fairly took her fancy
P’rhaps she’s stolen it from me
I dare not tell the wife
In case it causes jealousy

I had it when I left the house at half past ten
I had it in my hand alright
I showed it to a woman at the corner, then
It filled her with delight
The wife will want to play with it
When I get home
But I can’t find it, oh no
She’ll miss it, there’s no doubt
She’s sure to throw me out
When she finds I’ve gone and lost
My little yo-yo

Giving (Santa's Theme)
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse; Henry Mancini
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis



In this old world that we live in
There is one great joy that ev'ryone can share
The joy of giving to the
People for whom we care

If you show love in small ways
It is always there
To be giving and forgiving
Is to know the reason why we're living

What's so hard about giving?
It's a perfectly simple art
The trick is to live with love from the start
And to give with an open heart

In this old world that we live in
There is one great joy that ev'ryone can share
The joy of giving to the
People for whom we care

If you show love in small ways
It is always there
To be giving and forgiving
Is to know the reason why we're living

What's so hard about giving?
It's a perfectly simple art
The trick is to live with love from the start
And to give with an open heart

I've Found Someone Of My Own
Composer(s): Frank Robinson
Performer(s): Free Movement 
and multiple other artists



I got up this morning 
While I was having my coffee 
My woman came in, sat down by my side 
With tears in her eyes 
She said ´I´ve a confession to make´ 
I said ´Woman, speak what´s on your mind´ 

She said ´I´ve found somebody new 
To take your place´ 
´I said don´t feel so all alone 
I´ve found someone of my own´ 

´All those lonely nights 
You left me all alone 
My true love would call 
And talk to me on the phone´ 
I said ´Woman, if that´s the way it´s gotta be 
Then darlin, don´t you worry about me´ 

She said ´ I´ve found somebody new 
To take your place´ 
´I said don´t feel so all alone 
I´ve found someone of my own´ 

I got up from the table 
Reached down and wiped the tears 
From her face 
I put out my cigarette 
Turned and walked away 

She said ´I´ve found somebody new 
To take your place´ 
´I said don´t feel so all alone 
I´ve found someone of my own´

I've Found Love
Composer(s): Bill Kimber
Performer(s): Sharon Tandy



I thought that love was for the birds
Now I've found love, I can't find words
To explain how I feel
Now I know love is real
I'm in love, I'm in love
I gotta tell the world I'm in love

I found that when you came along
You proved to me that I was wrong
To have pushed love aside
Without ever havin' tried
I'm in love, I'm in love
I gotta tell the world I'm in love

Somehow I'm scared, and then again
I feel so glad that I met you

I've never, ever been so sure
Now I've got you, I don't want more
For you've changed ev'rything
With the love that you bring
I'm in love, I'm in love
I gotta tell the world I'm in love

Somehow I'm scared, and then again
I feel so glad that I met you

I've never, ever been so sure
Now I've got you, I don't want more
For you've changed ev'rything
With the love that you bring
I'm in love, I'm in love
I gotta tell the world I'm in lo-o-o-ove

Give Love On Christmas Day

Performer(s): The Jackson Five;
and various other artists



People making lists, buying special gifts
It's a time to be kind to one and all 
It's that time of year when good friends are dear 
And you wish you could give more 
Than just presents from a store 

Why don't you give love on Christmas day (on Christmas day) 
Oh even the man who has everything 
Would be so happy if you would bring 
Him love on Christmas day (on Christmas day) 
No greater gift is there than love 

People you don't know smiling out hello 
Everywhere there's an air of Christmas joy 
It's that once a year, when the world's sincere 
And you'd like to find a way 
To show the things that words can't say 

Why don't you give love on Christmas day (on Christmas day) 
The man on the street and the couple upstairs 
All need to know that there's one cares 
Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day) 
No greater gift is there than love 
What the world needs is love 
Yes the world needs your love 

Why don't you give love on Christmas day (on Christmas Day) 
Oh every little child on Santa's knee
Has room for your love underneath his tree
Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day) 
No greater gift is there than love 
What the world needs is love 
Yes the world needs your love 

Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day) ...

I've Been Working On The Railroad
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Sandhills Sixteen
and multiple other artists



I've been working on the railroad
All the livelong day
I've been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away

Can't you hear the whistle blowing
Rise up so early in the morn
Can't you hear the captain shouting
Dinah, blow your horn

Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Someone's in the kitchen I know
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Strumming on the old banjo, and singing

Fie, fi, fiddly i o
Fie, fi, fiddly i o
Fie, fi, fiddly i o
Strumming on the old banjo

First Noel
(Adapted from: The First Nowell The Angel Did Say - 1833)
(Danish Version: Den Allerførste Jul - 1978)
Composer(s): William Sandys; Traditional
First recording/First release by: Invincible Quartet - 1910
Covered by multiple other artists



The first Noel the angels did sing
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields as they lay
In fields fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the king of Israel
And to the Earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the king of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the king of Israel

I've Been This Way Before
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond; Sarah Brightman



I've seen the light 
And I've seen the flame 
And I've been this way before 
And I'm sure to be this way again 

For I've been refused 
And I've been regained 
And I've seen your eyes before 
And I'm sure to see your eyes again

For I've been released 
And I've been regained 
And I've sung my song before 
And I'm sure to sing my song again 

Some people got to laugh 
Some people got to cry 
Some people got to make it through 
By never wondering why

Some people got to sing 
Some people got to sigh 
Some people never see the light 
Until the day they die 

But I've been released 
And I've been regained 
And I've been this way before 
And I'm sure to be this way again

One more time again 
Just one more time

Gesu Bambino



When blossoms flowered 'mid the snows upon a winter night
Was born the Child the Christmas Rose 
The King of Love and Light
The angels sang, the shepherds sang 
The grateful earth rejoiced
And at His blessed birth the stars 
Their exultation voiced

O Come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord

Again the heart with rapture glows to greet the holy night
that gave the world it's Christmas Rose 
It's king of Love and Light
Let ev'ry voice acclaim His name 
The grateful chorus swell
From paradise to earth He came that we with Him might dwell

O come let us adore him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Ah! O come let us adore Him
Ah! O come let us adore Him
Ah! Adore Him, Christ, the Lord
O come, O come
O come let us adore Him
Let us adore Him
Christ, the Lord

I've Been Thinking About You
Composer(s): Jimmy Chambers; George Chandler; Haenshall; Jimmy Helms
Performer(s): Londonbeat
and multiple other artists



We must have been stone crazy
when we thought we were just friends
'Cause I miss you, baby
And I've got those feelings again
I guess I'm all confused about you
I feel so in love
Oh, baby, what can I do?
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you, shi-pow-pow!

Suddenly we're strangers
I watch you walking away
She was my one temptation
Oh, I did not want her to stay
Deep down, I'm still confused about you

I feel so in love
Oh, baby, what can I do?
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you, shi-pow-pow!

What good is being her without you?

I feel so in love
Oh, baby, what can I do?
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you, shi-pow-pow!

Gentle Mary Laid Her Child
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Gary Prim



Gentle Mary laid her Child 
Lowly in a manger
There He lay, the undefiled
To the world a Stranger
Such a Babe in such a place
Can he be the saviour? 
Ask the saved of all the race 
Who have found His favour

Angels sang about His birth
Wise men sought and found Him
Heaven's star shone brightly forth 
Glory all around Him
Shepherds saw the wondrous sight
Heard the angels singing
All the plains were lit that night
All the hills were ringing

Gentle Mary laid her Child 
Lowly in a manger
He is still the undefiled
But no more a Stranger
Son of God of humble birth
Beautiful the story
Praise His Name in all the earth
Hail! the King of Glory!

I've Been There Too
Composer(s): Alvin Lee
Performer(s): Ten Years After



There's someone somewhere who can't go on
Their life is crying, it's all gone wrong
What can I say now to help you through
Except to say that I've been there too?

Your soul is aching, you can't see it through
But time is healing each day you do
Keep looking forward, forget the past
It's up to you now, don't let it last

You got to wake up, shake up
You got a right to live
Shake up, don't break up
You've got a lot to give

You'll wake up one morning, you start to feel good
The sun in the blue sky looks like it should
'Cause time is a healer, it's strange but it's true
So, keep looking forward, the sun will come through

You got to wake up, shake up
You got a right to live
Shake up, don't break up
You've got a lot to give

Gelobet Seist Du, Jesu Christ
Composer(s): Martin Luther
Performer(s): J.S. Bach



Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ
Dass du Mensch geboren bist
Von einer Jungfrau, das ist wahr
Des freuet sich der Engel Schar
Kyrieleis! 

Den aller Welt Kreis nie beschloss
Der liegt in Marien Schoss
Er ist ein Kindlein worden klein
Der alle Ding' erhält allein
Kyrieleis! 

Der Sohn des Vaters, Gott von Art
Ein Gast in der Welt hier ward
Und führt unsaus dem Jammertal
Er macht uns Erben in sein'm Saal
Kyrieleis! 

Das ew'ge Licht geht da herein
Gibt der Welt ein'n neuen Schein
Es leucht't wohl mitten in der Nacht
Und uns des Lichtes Kinder macht
Kyrieleis! 

Das hat er alles uns getan
Sein' gross' Lieb' zu zeigen an
Des freu' sich alle Christenheit
Und dank' ihm des in Ewigkeit
Kyrieleis!

I've Been Married Just As Long As You Have
Composer(s): Dolly Parton; Porter Wagoner
Performer(s): Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton



Dolly:
Last night you went out again
With what you said was your best friend
You say you need some time away from me
The sun was high when you got in
But not as high as you had been
And I wonder how you would act
If I done just the way I pleased

I've been married just as long as you have
And I get tired of the same old things
Just the same as you have
Well let me tell you this, big boy

When you go out for a night of joy
You better start taking me along
Or you'll be singing a different song
For I've been married just as long as you have

Porter:
While I'm working hard all day
you run around and spend my pay
You entertain your friends at my expence
But you cry and carry on
When I do something on my own
And you accuse with lack of evidence

I've been married just as long as you have
And I get tired of the same old things
Just the same as you have
So let me tell you this, sweetheart
I figure I've done my part
So don't get cute and get so smart
I'll tell you this before you start
I've been married just as long as you have

Dolly:
And that's a pretty good while

Porter:
Honey, you're the cat I've spent nine lives with

Dolly:
I know you have, you ain't spent no time at home
You're running around all over town
You're here and there everywhere

Porter
And if I could stand you long enough
I might stay at home a little more

Dolly:
You move so fast a umbrella'd be in your way, honey
If it was raining

Porter:
Oh boy, now ain't that cute
If your heart was as big as your mouth
You'd give everything we owned away

Dolly:
But I love you, you little devil
So don't you ever take off and leave me now here by myself
I'll hit you right in the

Porter:
I wouldn't, I wouldn't trust you with yourself

Dolly:
I'll hit you right in the mouth, honey, and it'll go

Porter:
You will, golly!

Dolly:
Ah, but then you'll look like you've had the mumps
When I get done kissing you

Porter:
Why don't you do it now, I ain't had the mumps

Dolly:
I'm a-gonna do it, here it goes, golly
I'll get you in line, that's true

Porter:
Ho-hoo, woman you're killing me, but I love every minute of it

Performer(s): Carla Thomas



Hello there, Merry Christmas, how've you been
Gee, it's so good to talk to you again
It's been a long, long time
Can't explain why you've crossed my mind
I guess it's just to wish you a Merry Christmas

My best friend's having a party and everbody's going
I know it's gonna be alot of fun, oh, by the way, it's snowing
It's been a long, long time
Can't explain why you've crossed my mind
I guess it's just to say
Gee whiz, it's Christmas

It's funny that I never thought to call you before
And why didn't I ever see you around anymore
Another year has passed, and I can't erase
The memory of your smiling face
So I had to call you up and say
Gee whiz, it's Christmas

So don't forget the party that's just growing
The warm fire from the fireplace will be glowing
It's been a long, long time
I still can't figure out why you've crossed my mind
I guess it's just to say
Gee whiz, it's Christmas

I'm wishing you a Merry
Have a Merry, Merry Christmas
Gee whiz ...
