I've Got Sand In My Shoes
Composer(s): Arthur Resnick; Kenny Young
Performer(s): The Drifters; Greyhound



Oh, the boardwalk's deserted 
There's nobody down by the sho-o-o-o-ore 
And the ferris wheel ride isn't turning around any m-o-ore-ore-ore 
The heat wave and the crowds are just old new-ooh-ews 
But I've still got some sand in my shoes 

(Sand in my shoes) 
Brings mem'ries of the salty air 
(Sand in my shoes) 
Whoa-uh-oh-oh the blanket that we used to share 
How we fell in love down by the sea-ee 
Come back to me (back to me, back to me) with the sand in my shoes 

Whoa, oh 
When the water was cold 
You would tremble and hold me so ti-i-i-i-ight 
And we'd sit on the beach just to wait for the stars to come out at
night 
The heat wave and the crowds are just old new-ooh-ews 
But I've still got some sand in my shoes 

(Sand in my shoes) 
Oh, brings mem'ries of the salty air 
(Sand in my shoes) 
Whoa-oh-uh-oh the blanket that we used to share 
How we fell in love down by the sea-ee 
Come back to me (back to me, back to me) with the sand in my shoes 

(Sand in my shoes) 
Whoa-uh-oh-oh 
(Sand in my shoes) 
Whoa, la, la, la, la, uh-whoa 
(Sand in my shoes)

Whoa-uh-oh-oh

Grandpa Got Run Over By A Beer Truck 
Composer(s): Lynn Coffey; Jim DeCaire; Joe Potila
Performer(s): Da Yoopers



Grandpa got run over by a beer truck
Coming out of woody's christmas day
Grandma got a job out at the brewery
I never knew that she could drive that way

Grandpa was out drinking with the floozies
Spending all of grandma's hard earned dough
He didn't have enough to pay the bar tab
So woody tossed him out into the snow

Grandpa stood there frozen in the head lights
He looked just as helpless as a deer
I don't think he was afraid of dying
I think he was afraid he'd spill his beer

Grandpa got run over by a beer truck
Coming out of woody's christmas day
Grandma got a job out at the brewery
I never knew that she could drive that way

Who'd have thought he'd end up as a road kill
She flattened him right out on the center line
He could have made it to the curb if he were quicker
But she backed it up and squashed him one more time

Grandma cried and cried at grandma's funeral
Not because we peeled him off the road
All the loot she got from his insurance
Went to pay the bar tab that he owed

Grandpa got run over by a beer truck
Coming out of woody's christmas day
Grandma got a job out at the brewery
I never knew that she could drive that way

I've Got No Strings
Composer(s): Leigh Harline; Ned Washington
First recording: Buddy Clark & Orch. - 1939
Covered by multiple other artists



Pinocchio 
I've got no strings
To hold me down
To make me fret, or make me frown
I had strings
But now I'm free
There are no strings on me

Hi-ho the me-ri-o
That's the only way to go
I want the world to know
Nothing ever worries me

(One sheet music version prints the bridge as this stanza)
Hi-ho the me-ri-o
I'm as happy as can be
I want the world to know
Nothing ever worries me

I've got no strings
So I have fun
I'm not tied up to anyone
They've got strings
But you can see
There are no strings on me

Dutch puppet 
You have no strings
Your arms is free
To love me by the Zuider Zee
Ya, ya, ya
If you would woo
I'd bust my strings for you

French puppet 
You've got no strings
Comme ci comme ca
Your savoire-faire is ooh la la!
I've got strings
But entre nous
I'd cut my strings for you

Russian puppet 
Down where the Volga flows
There's a Russian rendezvous
Where me and Ivan go
But I'd rather go with you, hey!

Grandma Stuffed The Turkey (Then The Turkey Sure Stuffed Us)
Composer(s): Ronald J. Euliano



One day in late November
When the weather's cold and crisp
Our Thanksgiving Dinner at Grandma's
We won't miss
We're counting all our blessings
With that thankful attitude
Who do you think we're kidding?
We're really here for food!

Grandma stuffed the turkey
Then the turkey sure stuffed us
Brussel sprouts, turnips
And her fresh cut asparagus
Her pumpkin and apple pies
Make with her famous crust
Yea, Grandma stuffed the turkey
Then the turkey sure stuffed us

Now Grandma got her apron on
It's the only one she owns
Grandpa carves the turkey
Till there's no meat on the bones
Kids fighting for those drumsticks
And the wishbone to make a wish
With all that commotion
We keep fillin' up our dish

Grandma stuffed the turkey
Then the turkey sure stuffed us
Brussel sprouts, turnips
And her fresh cut asparagus
Her pumpkin and apple pies
Make with her famous crust
Yea, Grandma stuffed the turkey
Then the turkey sure stuffed us

Now the men are off the table
Because the football game is on
The women are in the kitchen
Yea, talking up a storm
The kids are running wild
Wrestling on the floor
The game is finally over
Yea, we can eat some more!

Grandma stuffed the turkey
Then the turkey sure stuffed us
Brussel sprouts, turnips
And her fresh cut asparagus
Her pumpkin and apple pies
Make with her famous crust
Yea, Grandma stuffed the turkey
Then the turkey sure stuffed us

Now things are always changing
But those turkeys stay the same
Our family keeps a growing
And Grandma's glad we came
Adding chairs around the table
Sometime two or three
Now with so many people
There's no leftovers left for me!

Grandma stuffed the turkey
Then the turkey sure stuffed us
Brussel sprouts, turnips
And her fresh cut asparagus
Her pumpkin and apple pies
Make with her famous crust
Yea, Grandma stuffed the turkey
Then the turkey sure stuffed us

You said before we met
That your life was awful tame
Well, I took you to a night club
And the whole band knew your name 
Oh
Well, baby, baby, baby

With your lipstick all a mess
Oh, let me say to you little mama

Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer
(Dutch Version: Bomma Is Overreeje Deur De Kerstman)
Composer(s): Randy Brooks
Performer(s): Elmo & Patsy
and multiple other artists



Grandma got run over by a reindeer 
Walking home from our house Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe

She'd been drinkin' too much egg nog
And we'd begged her not to go
But she'd left her medication 
So she stumbled out the door into the snow

When they found her Christmas mornin'
At the scene of the attack
There were hoof prints on her forehead
And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back

Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe

Now were all so proud of Grandpa
He's been takin' this so well
See him in there watchin' football
Drinkin' beer and playin' cards with cousin Mel

It's not Christmas without Grandma
All the family's dressed in black 
And we just can't help but wonder 
Should we open up her gifts or send them back?

Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe

Now the goose is on the table 
And the pudding made of fig
And a blue and silver candle
That would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig

I've warned all my friends and neighbours
Better watch out for yourselves" 
They should never give a license
To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves

Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walkin' home from our house, Christmas eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa 
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe

Good Old Fashioned Country Christmas
Composer(s): Buck Owens; Earl Ball
Performer(s): Buck Owens



We're packin' up our clothes and we're goin'
We're headin' out to some place where it's snowin'
Cause for you and for me and the kids there's gonna be
A good old fashioned country Christmas

Some folks enjoy Christmas in the city
To them downtown shopping seems all pretty
But for you and for me and the kids there's gonna be
A good old fashioned country Christmas

Well we'll chop some fire wood and pop some popcorn for the Christmas tree
We'll hang our stockings on the meadow there for ol' Saint Nick to see
And when our happy holydays have ended we'll head back to the city quite contented
With our hearts full of peace and with happy memories
Of a good old fashioned country Christmas

Well we'll chop some fire wood and pop some popcorn for the Christmas tree
We'll hang our stockings on the meadow there for ol' Saint Nick to see
And when our happy holydays have ended we'll head back to the city quite contented
With our hearts full of peace and with happy memories
Of a good old fashioned country Christmas

I love the good old fashioned country Christmas

The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm

I can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form
What do I care if icicles form
I've got my love to keep me warm

Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love

My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm
I've got my love to keep me warm

I’ve got my fingers crossed
Not that I’m superstitious
I’m afraid it’s too good to be true
I’ve got my fingers crossed
No wonder I’m suspicious
I’m so gay, and the skies are much too blue

Don’t want no trouble with Old Man Trouble
And that goes double
On account of, because I’m in love again

This thrill is so delicious
I’m afraid it’s too good to be true

Haven’t you heard what happened?
Give you my word, it happened
Like a thunderbolt it came from out of nowhere
I only know it’s heaven 
How did I throw that seven?
There’s only one thing more
Maybe it won’t last long

I’ve got my fingers crossed
Not that I’m superstitious
I’m afraid it’s too good to be true
I’ve got my fingers crossed
No wonder I’m suspicious
I’m so gay, and the skies are much too blue

Don’t want no trouble with Old Man Trouble
And that goes double
On account of, because I’m in love again

This thrill is so delicious
I’m afraid it’s too good to be true

Good King Wenceslas
(Traditional)



Good King Wenceslas looked out
on the feast of Stephen
when the snow lay round about
deep and crisp and even
Brightly shown the moon that night
though the frost was cruel
when a poor man came in sight
gathering winter fuel

Hither, page, and stand by me
If thou know it telling
yonder peasant, who is he?
Where and what his dwelling?
Sire, he lives a good league hence
underneath the mountain
right against the forest fence
by Saint Agnes fountain

Bring me flesh, and bring me wine
Bring me pine logs hither
Thou and I will see him dine
when we bear them thither
Page and monarch, forth they went
forth they went together
through the rude wind's wild lament
and the bitter weather

Sire, the night is darker now
and the wind blows stronger
Fails my heart, I know not how
I can go no longer
Mark my footsteps my good page
tread thou in them boldly
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
freeze thy blood less coldly

In his master's step he trod
where the snow lay dented
Heat was in the very sod
which the saint had printed
Therefore, Christian men, be sure
wealth or rank possessing
ye who now will bless the poor
shall yourselves find blessing

The Christmas Wish
Composer(s): Dan Wheetman
Performer(s): John Denver



I don't know if you believe in Christmas
Or if you have presents underneath the Christmas tree
But if you believe in love, that will be more than enough
For you to come and celebrate with me

For I have held the precious gift that love brings
Even though I never saw a Christmas star
I know there is a light, I have felt it burn inside
And I have seen it shining from afar

Christmas is the time to come together
A time to put all differences aside

And I reach out my hand to the family of Man

To share the joy I feel at Christmas time

For the truth that binds us all together
I would like to say a simple prayer
That at this special time you will have true peace of mind
And love to last throughout the coming year

And if you believe in love
That will be more than enough
For peace to last throughout the coming year

And peace on earth will last throughout the year

God's Christmas Dilemma
Composer(s): Robin Mann



Christmas time was coming and God was wond'ring
What kind of present he could give his friends
Christmas time was coming all the shops were saying
And God didn't know what he could send
Should he give a tree for decorating
Should he give a star so clear and bright
Maybe just a single perfect diamond
Don't they say that diamonds are forever?

Christmas time was coming and God was thinking
That kind of present might be too passe
In the new millennium something technological
Would suit the information age
Should he give a fleet of brand new Porsches
Or a Bang and Olufsen hi-fi?
Then perhaps it should be something simpler
Maybe just a game for the computer

Christmas time was coming and God said 
Hey, I think I've got the very thing to give right here
Modern and spectacular it may not be but
They'll appreciate it through the years.
Though it will be small, it will be special
It'll change the course of history
I'll even write a song for its arrival
I'm going to give a tiny brand new baby
And that baby will be me
