Shores Of Old California
Composer(s): Ralph D. Tompkins



Golden Gate 
I have been dreaming of you
Of your wondrous land
Of your silver sand
Golden Gate
You're like an old friend that's true
I miss your dear old shores
I will miss your open doors

Golden Gate
I miss your mountains so green
All your wondrous scenes
I see in my dreams
Golden Gate
You bring back scenes of childhood
Oh, how I long for you
You make me feel so blue

Shores of old California 
How I miss you
Miss your waves of blue
And your roses too
Flowers sweet don't surround me
As in days of yore
Southern shores of old California 
I'm coming back once more

The Night Santa Went Crazy
Composer(s): "Weird Al" Yankovic
Performer(s): "Weird Al" Yankovic



Down in the workshop all the elves were makin' toys
For the good Gentile girls and the good Gentile boys
When the boss busted in, nearly scared 'em half to death
Had a rifle in his hands and cheap whiskey on his breath
From his beard to his boots he was covered with ammo
Like a big fat drunk disgruntled Yuletide Rambo
And he smiled as he said with a twinkle in his eye
"Merry Christmas to all - now you're all gonna die!"

The night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nick went insane
Realized he'd been gettin' a raw deal
Something finally must have snapped in his brain

Well, the workshop is gone now, he decided to bomb it
Everywhere you'll find pieces of Cupid and Comet
And he tied up his helpers and he held the elves hostage
And he ground up poor Rudolph into reindeer sausage
He got Dancer and Prancer with an old German Luger
And he slashed up Dasher just like Freddy Krueger
And he picked up a flamethrower and he barbequed Blitzen
And he took a big bite and said, "It tastes just like chicken!"

The night Santa went crazy
The night Kris Kringle went nuts
Now you can't hardly walk around the North Pole
Without steppin' in reindeer guts

There's the National Guard and the F.B.I.
There's a van from the Eyewitness News
And helicopters circlin' 'round in the sky
And the bullets are flyin', the body count's risin'
And everyone's dyin' to know, oh Santa, why?
My my my my my my
You used to be such a jolly guy

Yes, Virginia, now Santa's doin' time
In a federal prison for his infamous crime
Hey, little friend, now don't you cry no more tears
He'll be out with good behavior in 700 more years
But now Vixen's in therapy and Donner's still nervous
And the elves all got jobs working for the postal service
And they say Mrs. Clause, she's on the phone every night
With her lawyer negotiating the movie rights

They're talkin' bout - the night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nicholas flipped
Broke his back for some milk and cookies
Sounds to me like he was tired of gettin' gypped

Wo, the night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nick went insane
Realized he's gettin' a raw deal
Something finally must have snapped in his brain
Wo, something finally must have snapped in his brain
Tell ya, something finally must have snapped... in his brain

Shopping
Composer(s): Paul Weller
Performer(s): The Jam



High town, high street connection
With clothes at the top of my list
You could steal things from the jewellery department
But you can't take kind or steal a kiss 

As I flit from shop window to window
I'm trying to pick up a friendly bargain
But it's not like the adverts all make out
And there's no one to greet you as a friend 

I dress myself for the part
I smile but it just don't work
Something about my face, must just be the wrong shape
I better try another brand pretty quick 

I dress myself for the part
I smile but it just don't work
Something about my face, must just be the wrong shape
I better try another brand pretty quick 

I'm haunted by the colours and hoardings a reminder that I must be inadequate
High town, high street connection
With clothes at the top of my list

The Night Is Christmas Eve
Composer(s): L. Cuatros
Performer(s): The Brothers Four



Esta noche Nochebuena y mañana Navidad
Cantarle con la guitarra, empecemos a cantar
Una pandereta buena y no sé por dónde irá
Camina para Belén, más arriba la alborada

En el portal de Belén ayer se vio sol y luna
La Virgen y don José y el Niño está en la cuna
La mula regruñe, se vuelve, patea
Y el niño de Dios dormido se queda

Claveles y rosas la cuna adornan
Y ¿en tanto? su nombre diciéndole está

I was shopping for a suit the other day
And walked into the department store
I stepped on the elevator and told the girl
"Dry goods floor"

When I got off I saw a salesman was coming to me
He said "Now, what can I do for you"
I said "Well go in there and show me all the sport's clothes
Like you're supposed to"

He said, "Well, sure, come on in buddy
Dig these fabrics we got laid out on the shelf"
He said "Pick yourself out one
Try it on, stand in the mirror and dig yourself"

Ohhhhhh...That suit's pure herringbone
Ohhhhhh...Yeah, that's a suit I'd like to own
Ohhhhhh...Buddy, that suit is you
Ohhhhhh...Yeah, I believe it too

I see for the business man you feature the natural shoulder
That retail, wholesale indeed
It's got the custom cuffs and the walking short
He said "And I'm gonna let you have at a steal"

And for the playboy you have the latest in tweed
With the cut-away flap over twice
It's a box-back, two button western model
He said, "Now ain't that nice"

Ohhhhhh...Them buttons are solid gold
Ohhhhhh...You made a deal, sold
Ohhhhhh...That collar's pure camel hair
Ohhhhhh...Well, you can just set it down right in that chair

Now you go back there and you get that paper and let me sign on the dotted line
And I'll make sure I get all my payments in right on time
Hey wait a minute buddy, let me go back there and do a little checking on you
Then the man come back, he said "I'm sorry my man but your credit didn't go through"
Why, what you mean

Ohhhhhh...Ain't this a shame
Ohhhhhh...My heart's in pain
Ohhhhhh...Pure, pure herringbone
Ohhhhhh...That's a suit you'll never own
Oh, Lord have mercy

The Night Before Christmas

Performer(s): Alabama



Ribbons and paper cover the floor
It's been a great Christmas, with presents galore
Everyone's happy and I'm happy too
Oh, what a night (Oh, what a night)
Oh, what a night (Oh, what a night)
The night before Christmas I had with you

Frost on the window, snow on the ground
Holiday spirit, holiday sounds
Everyone's thankful and I'm thankful too
Oh, what a night (Oh, what a night)
Oh, what a night (Oh, what a night)
The night before Christmas I had with you

It all started underneath that mistletoe
While we were waiting up just to help old Santa Claus
We were making merry in ways we'd never thought of
When we heard those sleigh bells and old Santa almost caught us

We didn't take no pictures, but I still remember
One very special twenty-fourth day of December
Oh, what a night (Oh, what a night)
Oh, what a night (Oh, what a night)
The night before Christmas I had with you

It all started underneath that mistletoe
While we were waiting up just to help old Santa Claus
We were making merry in ways we'd never thought of
When we heard those sleigh bells and old Santa almost caught us

If we don't do this next year, Honey, I'm sure gonna miss it
Why don't we make it a new Yuletide tradition
Oh, what a night (Oh, what a night)
Oh, what a night (Oh, what a night)
The night before Christmas I had with you
Oh, what a night (Oh, what a night)
Oh, what a night (Oh, what a night)
The night before Christmas I had with you

Oh, Merry Christmas, Baby, I love you so much
(What a night) Oh, what a night
(What a night) Ummm, what a night
(What a night) Oh, what a night
(What a night) The night before Christmas
(What a night) I spent it with you
(What a night) Oh, what a night
(What a night) The night before......

Just because you've become a young woman now
There's still some things that you don't understand now
Before you ask some guy for his hand now
Keep your freedom for as long as you can now
My mama told me
You better shop around

There's some things that I want you to know now
Just as sure as the wind's gonna blow now
The men will come and the men are gonna go now
Before you tell 'em that you love 'em so now
My mama told me
You better shop around

Try to get yourself a bargain, girl
Don't be sold on the very first one
Good-looking guys come a dime a dozen
Try to find you one who's gonna give you true loving

Before you take a man and say I do now 
Make sure he's in love with you now
Make sure that his love is true now
I hate to see you feeling sad and blue now
My mama told me
You better shop around

Shooting Star
Composer(s): Elton John; Gary Osborne
Performer(s): Elton John



I'm still in love with you oh shooting star
And when I start to wonder where you are
There you are, there you are, shooting star

You may have seen me at the early show
I sat and watched you from the second row
Oh you were mine long ago way back when
Even then we both knew you'd go far oh shooting star

And with the spotlight shining in your eyes
It's sometimes hard to find your way
But maybe some night you might
Think of me, shooting star

And when that moment comes at last
And you remember who you are
Here I'll be, shooting star, shooting star
Here I'll be, shooting star, shooting star, shooting star

A packful of toys means a sackful of joys
For millions of girls and for millions of boys

A jack in the box waits for children to shout,
"Wake up, don't you know that it's time to come out!"
When Christmas Day is here
The most wonderful day of the year! 

Toys galore
Scattered on the floor
There's no room for more
And it's all because of Santa Claus!

The kind that will even say "How do you do"

The most wonderful day of the year

Johnny was a schoolboy
When he heard his first Beatles song
Love Me Do, I think it was
And from then it didn't take him long
Got himself a guitar
Used to play every night
Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit
And everything's alright
Don't you know?

Johnny told his Mama
"Hey, Mama, I'm goin' away
Gonna hit the big time
Gonna be a big star someday"
Mama came to the door
With a teardrop in her eye
Johnny said, "Don't cry, Mama
Smile and wave goodbye"
Don't you know?

Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are

Johnny made a record
Went straight up to number one
Suddenly everyone loved
To hear him sing the song
Watchin' the world go by
Surprisin' it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him and said
"Well, I made the big-time at last"
Don't you know?
Don't you know?

Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are
A shooting star

Johnny died one night, died in his bed
bottle of whiskey, sleepin' tabletts by his head
His life passed him by like a warm summer day
if you listen to the wind, you can still har him play

Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are

The Merry Hula
Performer(s): Hap Palmer



When it's Christmas day in Hawaii
All the little elves do the hula
Their work is done and it's time for fun
In the tropical island sun
When it's Christmas day in Hawaii
They dance and play their tiny ukuleles
They've made the toys for the girls and boys
Now they sing of Yuletide joys, and they sing

Ho ho ho and a ha ha ha
Ooo we love to do the Merry Hula
Tee hee hee and a tra la la
Ooo we love to do the Merry Hula
The gifts are spread beneath the tree
Little children jump with glee
Ho ho ho and a ha ha ha
Ooo we love to do the Merry Hula

When it's Christmas day in Hawaii
Santa takes a break to do some surfin'
He looks real cute in his swimming' suit
And waterproof rubber boots
When it's Christmas day in Hawaii
And all the gifts for kids have been delivered
He lands his sleigh for a holiday
Where the palm trees swing and sway, and he sings

Ho ho ho and a ha ha ha
Ooo we love to do the Merry Hula
Tee hee hee and a tra la la
Ooo we love to do the Merry Hula
The gifts are spread beneath the tree
Little children jump with glee
Ho ho ho and a ha ha ha
Ooo we love to do the Merry Hula

The Man From Galilee
Composer(s): Holloway
Performer(s): Christy Lane; Connie Smith



It was Christmas Eve in a little Texas town
The snow was falling softly to the ground
Outside a little chapel stood a man
With sightless eyes a candle in his hand
 
Oh Lord if you're there help me in
I need to light a candle for a friend
He came from a land across the sea
They call Him the Man from Galilee
 
And no one seemed to hear his lonely cry
They laughed with Christmas cheer and walked on by
Inside they watched a clock upon the wall
Put silver in the box and left the hall

Oh Lord if you're there help me in
I need to light a candle for a friend
He came from a land across the sea
They call Him the Man from Galilee
 
Soon the church was quiet in the night
And one-by-one the candles lost their light
In darkness now the old man knelt to pray
Forgive them Lord they must have lost their way

Oh Lord if you're there hear my prayer
Let the message of Your birthday fill the air
Let the lesson of your life help us see
That Christmas is the Man from Galilee

Oh Lord if you're there help me in
I need to light a candle for a friend
He came from a land across the sea
They call Him the Man from Galilee

Hear sleigh-bells ringing' everybody's singing
Dancing the Christmas polka
Christmas trees and holly make everyone so jolly
