Happy Birthday Jesus (I'll Open This One For You) (Traditional) Performer(s): Reba McEntire
Now kids hang on just a second before we start You know there's a reason we are all here in front of Grandma and Grandpa's Christmas tree And if Trevor and E.P. would quit fighting long enough and be real quiet This little song might help ya understand
Long ago in a stable there was a baby being born His parents were Joseph and Mary And Joseph's big ole heart was torn Cause he couldn't find a decent place for Mary to have her child But Mary said it just seemed just right and she blessed it with her smile
'Cause what made it special was the baby in her arms God sent Him down to give the world a second chance for you and I That's why we have Christmas at this time each year It's the baby's birthday party that brings us so much cheer
Now kids the presents that all of you exchange on Christmas Represents the gifts that baby Jesus received the night he was born He got all his presents from three wise men Who followed a star And walked a long long way to the stable So everytime you tear open one of your presents Think about that baby and say Happy birthday Jesus I'll open this one for you
Cause what made it special was the baby in her arms God sent Him down to give the world a second chance for you and I That's why we have Christmas at this time each year It's the baby's birthday party that brings us so much cheer
OK all together now Happy Birthday Jesus I'll open this one just for you
I've Never Been To Me Composer(s): Ken Hirsh; Ron Miller First release by: Charlene - 1976 Covered by multiple other artists
Hey lady, you lady, cursin' at your life You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife I've no doubt you dream about the things you never do But I wish someone had'a talked to me like I wanna talk to you
Ooooh, I've been to Georgia and California And anywhere I could run Took the hand of a preacher man And we made love in the sun But I ran out of places and friendly faces Because I had to be free I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away 'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today I can see so much of me still living in your eyes Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived a million lies
Ooh, I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece While I sipped champagne on a yacht I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo And showed 'em what I've got I've been undressed by kings And I've seen some things That a woman ain't s'pose to see I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie A fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be But you know what truth is? It's that little baby you're holding And it's that man you fought with this morning The same one you're going to make love with tonight That's truth, that's love
Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children That might have made me complete But I, I took the sweet life I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet I spent my life exploring the subtle whoreing That cost too much to be free Hey lady, I've been to paradise But I've never been to meeeeeeeeeeeeee.... I've been to paradise, never been to me Been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run I've been to paradise, never been to me Been to Nice and the isle of Greece While I sipped champagne on a yacht I've been to paradise ...
I've Never Been In Love Before Composer(s): Frank Loesser First performance by: Robert Alda & Isabel Bigley - 1950 Covered by multiple other artists
I've never been in love before Now all at once it's you it's you forever more...
I've never been in love before I thought my heart was safe I thought I knew the score
But this is wine that's all too strange and strong I'm full of foolish song and now my song must pour so please forgive this helpless haze I'm in I've really never been in love before
But this is wine that's all too strange and strong I'm full of foolish song and now my song must pour so please forgive this helpless haze I'm in I've really never been in love before
Hang Up The Baby's Stocking Composer(s): Emily Huntington Miller; Hiram Murray Higgins
Hang up the baby's stocking Be sure you don't forget! The dear little dimpled darling She never saw Christmas yet! But I've told her all about it And she opened her big blue eyes And I'm sure she understood it She looked so funny and wise
Dear, what a tiny stocking! It doesn't take much to hold Such little pink toe's as baby's Away from the frost and the cold But then, for the baby's Christmas It will never do at all Why! Santa wouldn't be looking For anything half so small
I know what I will do for the baby I've thought of the very best plan I'll borrow a stocking of Grandma's The longest that ever I can And you'll hang it by mine, dear mother Right here in the corner so! And leave a letter to Santa And fasten it in the toe
Write-this is the baby's stocking That hangs in the corner here You never have seen her, Santa For she only came this year But she's just the blessed'st baby And now before you go Just cram her stocking with goodies From the top clean down to the toe!

Carolina Virginia California to Maine... I've loved you all over the world sweet girl
Hamburger Concerto: Well Done Composer(s): Thijs Van Leer Performer(s): Focus
O kerstnacht, schoner dan de dagen Hoe kan Herodes het licht verdragen Dat in uw duisternisse blinkt En wordt gevierd en aangebeden Zijn hoogmoed luistert naar geen reden Hoe schel die in zijn oren klinkt Hij tracht d'onozelen te vernielen Door 't doden van onnozele zielen En wekt een stad en landgeschrei In Bethlehem en op de akker En maakt de geest van Rachel wakker Die waren gaat door beemd en hei
I've Loved These Days Composer(s): Billy Joel Performer(s): Billy Joel
Now we take our time, so nonchalant And spend our nights so bon vivant We dress our days in silken robes The money comes The money goes We know it's all a passing phase We light our lamps for atmosphere And hang out hopes on chandeliers We're going wrong, we're gaining weight We're sleeping long and far too late And so it's time to change our ways But I've loved these days Now as we indulge in things refined We hide our hearts from harder times A string of pearls, a foreign car Oh we can only go so far On caviar and cabernet We drown our doubts in dry champagne And soothe our souls with fine cocaine I don't know why I even care We get so high and get nowhere We'll have to change our jaded ways But I've loved these days So before we end and then begin We'll drink a toast to how it's been A few more hours to be complete A few more nights on satin sheets A few more times that I can say I've loved these days

I've Got Tears In My Ears (From Lyin' On My Back In My Bed While I Cry Over You) Performer(s): Harold Barlow
I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back In my bed while I cry over you And the tears in my ears, they're off the beaten track Since you said "It's goodbye, we are through" So if I should get water on the brain You will know you're the one who is to blame I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back In my bed while I cry over you
I've got tears in my ears from lyin'on my back In my bed while I cry over you I've been cryin' these tears and soakin' in my sack Since the day I found you were untrue And if I don't get up pretty soon I'll turn into a sleepy lagoon I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back In my bed while I cry over you
I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back In my bed while I cry over you It's been so many years, my sacroiliac Feels as though it's been soaked through and through Oh, you lied when you said we'd take the plunge Now I know how it feels to be a sponge I've got tears in my ears from lyin' on my back In my bed while I cry over you

Grown-Up Christmas List
Composer(s): David Foster; Linda Thompson-Jenner
Performer(s): Amy Grant
and multiple other artists
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well, I'm all grown up now
But still need help somehow
I'm not a chile but my heart still can dream
So here's my lifelong wish
My grown-up christmas list
Not for myself, but for a world in need
No more lives torn apart
And wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
Ev'ry one would have a friend
That right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up christmas list...
As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely wrapped beneash the tree
Well, heaven surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal a hurting human soul
No more lives torn apart
And wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
Ev'ry one would have a friend
That right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up christmas list...
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth!
There'd be...
No more lives torn apart
And wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
Ev'ry one would have a friend
That right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up christmas list
This is my only lifelong wish
This is my Grown-up Christmas List!
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)
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

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

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
