She's Gonna Win Your Heart Composer(s): Billy Burnette; Hank Williams Performer(s): Eddy Raven
I know just how you feel When you see my baby dance across the floor And I know you'd like to steal her love I know I've been there before
I can see the way she's lookin' at you I'm runnin' out of time I used to feel the same way too When I was tryin' to make her mine
She's gonna win your heart She always gets her way She knew right from the start How to play her part She's gonna win your heart
She can be so very nice Melt you down like ice With all her charms Pick you up to paradise I've been there once or twice in her arms
When my baby's running free Takes a stronger man than me To hold her down Maybe you've got what she needs So it's your turn to try and stop her runnin' round
She's gonna win your heart She always gets her way She knew right from the start How to play her part She's gonna win your heart
If I thought the time was right I would try with all my might To make her stay But I won't put up a fight 'Cause I know she don't love me anyway
And I know ...
And I know she's gonna win your heart She always gets her way She knew right from the start How to play her part She's gonna win your heart
Yes I know she's gonna win your heart She knows just what to say
She knew right from the start How to play her part
Scary Voices Composer(s): Andy Summers Performer(s): Andy Summers
I have tried to succeed everything I do is scaring me To possess to have won everything that's underneath the sun Scary voices echo in my head I can see I am blind everyone I love I leave behind Hold on and take control hold on and save your soul be sure before you rise hold on it's in your eyes I have tried to succeed everything I do is scaring me
Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) Composer(s): David Bowie First release by: David Bowie - 1980 Covered by multiple other artists
She had an horror of rooms she was tired you can't hide beat When I looked in her eyes they were blue but nobody home
She could've been a killer if she didn't walk the way she do and she do She opened strange doors that we'd never close again
She began to wail jealousies scream Waiting at the light know what I mean
Scary monsters, super creeps Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters, super creeps Keep me running, running scared
She asked me to stay and I stole her room She asked for my love and I gave her a dangerous mind Now she's stupid in the street and she can't socialise Well I love the little girl and I'll love her till the day she dies
She wails Jimmy's guitar sound jealousies scream Waiting at the light know what I mean
Scary monsters, super creeps Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters, super creeps Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters, super creeps Keep me running, running scared
Scary monsters, super creeps Keep me running, running scared

Please Daddy, dont get drunk this Christmas I dont wanna see my Mumma cry Please Daddy, dont get drunk this Christmas I dont wanna see my Mumma cry No, I dont wanna see my Mumma cry

Pine Cones And Holly Berries Composer(s): Meredith Willson Performer(s): Hank Jones; The Osmonds
Pine cones and Holly Berries Popcorn for you, apples for me Red striped candy, nut cracker handy Kettle a-bubbleing hot as can be Snow clouds hang low and threatening Maybe it won't, praying it may The brightest fireplace glows in every face Waiting for Christmas day
There'll be walk-a-round songs And talk-a-round songs Songs of the inn and stable There'll be morning time songs And evening time songs And grace at every table And Jingle bells will jingle all the way all day
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Everywhere you go There's a tree in the Grand Hotel One in the park as well The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Soon the bells will start And the thing that will make them ring Is the carol that you sing Right within your heart
Petite Étoile De Noël Composer(s): Raymond Legrand; J. Daniel Norman; G. Diamant Performer(s): Tino Rossi
Au pas lent de leurs chevaux Qui sont chargés de cadeaux Quittant leurs palais et les rois mages Vont dans un tout petit village Perdu dans la nuit bleue Qui leur a dit? Qui les conduit? En cette nuit
Petite étoile de Noël Tu luis d'un éclat surnaturel Eclairant la petite étable Où l'enfant Dieu est né pour nous Petite étoile de Noël Montre-nous dans le bleu du ciel L'humble toit, la petite étable Où l'enfant Roi est venu jusqu'à nous Marie au regard si doux Et les bergers à genoux Le regardent sourire aux anges Le gros buf taché de roux L'agneau blanc, l'âne debout Nous attendent au rendez-vous Entend dans la nuit de Noël Jésus ton grand amour éternel Et suivons la petite étoile Petite étoile de Noël

Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green) Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme (Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground) Without no seams nor needlework (Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains) Then she'll be a true love of mine (Sleeps unaware of the clarion call) Tell her to find me an acre of land
(On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves) Parsley, sage, rosemary, & thyme (Washed is the ground with so many tears) Between the salt water and the sea strand (A soldier cleans and polishes a gun) Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
(War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions) Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme (Generals order their soldiers to kill) And to gather it all in a bunch of heather (And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten) Then she'll be a true love of mine
Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine
Petit Pasqua Noël Composer(s): Martiney; Girardot Performer(s): Chanson Plus Bifluorée
C'est la belle nuit de Noël Dans le fourgon, c'est l'allégresse Les casques pointés vers le ciel Emus les petits CRS Avant de fermer leurs visières Font une dernière prière
Petit Pasqua Noël Quand tu descendras du ciel Avec des matraques dorées N'oublie pas ton traîneau blindé Car avant de partir Il faudra bien te couvrir Les gens sont si durs Avec toi Oh mon pauvre petit Pasqua
Il me tarde tant que le jour se lève Pour voir si nous pouvons charger Et puis matraquer tous ces jeunes en grève Que nous t'avions commandés
Petit Pasqua Noël Quand tu descendras du ciel Avec des matraques dorées N'oublie pas ton traîneau blindé Petit Pasqua Noël

Se tu vai alla fiera del perdono Giu' al paese torroni e collane Se incontri chi e' stato il mio amore Dille che ora non posso venire Dille ricami su un pezzo di seta Due gabbiani fra nuvole rosa Ma non con filo di tanti colori Ma con il crine dei suoi capelli Dille che trovi un pezzo di terra Fra gli ulivi e i ruscelli di vetro Allora potro' tornare da lei E la vendemmia ci trovera' insieme La montagna ride col vento Giu' al paese torroni e collane E quando grido il tuo nome di neve Fugge un cerbiatto lungo il sentiero Se tu vai alla fiera del perdono Giu' al paese torroni e collane Se incontri chi e' stato il mio amore Dille che ora non posso venire

Performer(s): Tino Rossi - 1946
C'est la belle nuit de Noël La neige étend son manteau blanc Et les yeux levés vers le ciel À genoux, les petits enfants Avant de fermer les paupières Font une dernière prière
Petit Papa Noël Quand tu descendras du ciel Avec des jouets par milliers N'oublie pas mon petit soulier Mais avant de partir Il faudra bien te couvrir Dehors tu dois avoir si froid C'est un peu à cause de moi
Il me tarde tant que le jour se lève Pour voir si tu m'as apporté Tous les beaux joujoux que je vois en rêves Et que je t'ai commandés
Petit Papa Noël When you sail down from the sky Bringing toys, so shiny and so bright Please don't pass my little stocking by Before you leave your home Wear your bright red coat so warm Understand it still a winter night How I'd wait you see my candlelight
Petit Papa Noël Quand tu descendras du ciel Apportant des jouets, si brillants et si éclatants S'il-te-plaît, ne passes pas à côté de mon petit bas Avant de partir de chez-toi Mets ton manteau rouge vif si chaud Comprends que c'est une autre nuit d'hiver J'attendrai tellement que tu vois la lumière de ma chandelle
I can't hardly sleep Cause my heart is singing Listening to a new Christmas song I can't wait to see What the morning's bringing Oh I can't wait so long
J'ai de la difficulté à m'endormir Parce que mon coeur chante En écoutant une nouvelle chanson de Noël Je ne peux attendre pour voir Ce que le matin apporte Oh je ne peux attendre si longtemps
Petit Papa Noël Quand tu descendras du ciel Avec des jouets par milliers N'oublies pas mon petit soulier Petit Papa Noël

Dans son manteau rouge et blanc Sur un traîneau porté par le vent Il descendra par la cheminée Petit garçon, il est l'heure d'aller se coucher
Tes yeux se voilent Ecoute les étoiles Tout est calme, reposé Entends-tu les clochettes tintinnabuler?
Et demain matin petit garçon Tu trouveras dans tes chaussons Tous les jouets dont tu as rêvé Petit garçon il est l'heure d'aller se coucher
Tes yeux se voilent Ecoute les étoiles Tout est calme, reposé Entends-tu les clochettes tintinnabuler?

Percy, The Puny Pointsettia Performer(s): Elmo & Patsy
Percy The Puny Pointsettia Hanging his gloom in dismay If they had just kept him wetta He'd be a houseplant today Homes like the other pointsettias Now he's alone on the shelf Even a plant with no uncles or aunts Shouldn't spend Christmas day by himself!!
Holiday shoppers who stop at the counter And picked out a plant to take home One at a time all of his friends Where adopted til' Percy was left all alone!
Percy the Puny Pointsettia Hanging his gloom in dismay If they had just kept him wetta He'd be a housplant today Homes like the other pointsettias Now he's alone on the shelf Even a houseplant with no uncles or aunts Shouldn't spend Christmas day by himself!!
Then into the shop on the day before Christmas Came a poor little girl who was crying But when she saw Percy Her eyes opened wide and she said "Can I please make him mine?"
Now Percy The Puny Pointsettia Is standing beside Mr. Tree His leaves have never been redda He's as proud as a flower can be Somebody made him feel betta Rescued him off the shelf
Even a plant with no uncles or aunts Should spend Christmas day by himself!! Even a plant with no uncles or aunts Should spend Christmas day by himself!!
Tu N'as Pas Très Bon Caractère (Italian Version: Scapricciatiello) Composer(s): Ferdinando Albano; Pacifico Vento; F. Bonifay Performer(s): Dalida
Tu n'as pas très bon caractère Après tout qu'es ce que ça peut faire Je t'aime avec tous tes défauts Tu en as pourtant de bien gros Pour un rien tu as des colères Qui me crispent et qui m'exaspèrent Mais tu as des petits à cotés Qui m'obligent à te pardonner
Depuis toujours j'avais rêvé d'un ange Mais avec toi vraiment cela me change Et lorsque je suis prête à te maudire Tu prétends que je pourrais trouver pire Alors je n'ai plus rien, plus rien à dire
Tu n'as pas très bon caractère Après tout qu'es ce que sa peut faire Maintenant je suis résigné Tu peux tranquillement tout casser Je dois faire tes petits caprices Ou subir les pires injustices Cependant c'est plus fort que moi Je m'ennuie quand tu n'es pas là
Lorsque tu fais parfois trop de tapage Je deviens la risée du voisinage Au lieu de me dire bonjour quand je m'avance Tous les voisins ricanent en silence Hé! hé! ça fait toujours plaisir quand on y pense
Tu n'as pas très bon caractère Après tout qu'es ce que sa peut faire Maintenant je suis habitué et j'arrive à te supporter Et d'ailleurs quand je me désole Je l'avoue ce qui me console C'est qu'avec ce caractère là De petites fleurs te résistent pas
Peaceful The Wondrous Night Composer(s): Eliza E. Hewitt; E.G. Snelling
Peaceful the wondrous night, peaceful and holy Under the silv'ry light, gleaming afar Faithfully watching there, shepherds so lowly Over the hills so fair, saw glory's star
Hail to the starry night, sparkling with glory Angels on wings of light thronging the sky Hail to that starry night, wondrous its story Jesus the Prince of Light came from above
Come with that shepherd band, come to the manger Join in the chorus grand, Glory to God! Worship the holy Child, wonderful stranger Give to the undefiled, glory and laud
Hail to the starry night, sparkling with glory Angels on wings of light thronging the sky Hail to that starry night, wondrous its story Jesus the Prince of Light came from above
Sweet favour, thus to bow, love's treasure bringing Gratefully yielding now, life's joyful praise Hear from the heavenly height, glad echoes ringing Blessing and power and might, through endless days
Hail to the starry night, sparkling with glory Angels on wings of light thronging the sky Hail to that starry night, wondrous its story Jesus the Prince of Light came from above
