Same Old Lang Syne
Same Old Lang Syne
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg; Mari L. McCarthy; Jim Wilson
Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling, Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve
She didn't recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried
We took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totalled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation dragged
We went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't find an open bar
We bought a sixpack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how
She said she'd married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would have liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie
I said the years had been a friend to her
And that her eyes were still as blue
But in those eyes I wasn't sure
If I saw doubt or gratitude
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to time
Reliving in our eloquence
Another 'auld lang syne'...
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
And running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I watched her drive away
Just for a moment I was back at school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home
The snow turned into rain
The snow turned into rain

Michael Rennie was ill
The Day the Earth Stood Still
But he told us where we stand
And Flash Gordon was there in silver underwear
Claude Rains was The Invisible Man
Then something went wrong for Fay Wray and King Kong
They got caught in a celluloid jam
Then at a deadly pace, It Came From Outer Space
And this is how the message ran.....
Science fiction (Ooh-ooh-ooh) double feature
Doctor X (Ooh-ooh-ooh) will build a creature
See androids fighting (Ooh-ooh-ooh) Brad and Janet

At the late night, double feature, picture show
I knew Leo G. Carroll was over a barrel
When Tarantula took to the hills
And I really got hot when I saw Janette Scott
Fight a Triffid that spits poison and kills
Dana Andrews said prunes gave him the runes
And passing them used lots of skills
But When Worlds Collide said George Pal to his bride
I'm gonna give you some terrible thrills
Like a.....

Same Old Christmas
Same Old Christmas
Composer(s): C. Midnight; M. Swersky
Performer(s): Hilary Duff
Rows of angels in the snow
Hugs and kisses by the mistletoe
Sugarplum fairies everywhere
Must be that time of year
Stars that shine on christmas trees
Smoke that curls from chim-i-neys
Rednose reindeer taking flight
And choirs singing O Holy Night
It's the same old, same old Christmas Eve
It's the same old Christmas Day
It's the same old, same old Christmas
But I like it, I like it that way
Another snowman with a button nose
Presents all wrapped up in bows
Friends and neighbors knockin' at my door
Like every Christmas that's come before
It's the same old, same old Christmas Eve
It's the same old Christmas Day
It's the same old, same old Christmas
But I like it, I like it that way
Seasons keep on changin'
The snow will melt away
But everything will be the same again
Next year on Christmas Day
And I like it, I like it that way
Rows of angels in the snow
Hugs and kisses by the mistletoe
Friends and neighbors knockin' at my door
Like every christmas that's come before
It's the same old, same old Christmas Eve
It's the same old Christmas Day
It's the same old, same old Christmas
But I like it, I like it that way
It's the same old, same old Christmas Eve
It's the same old Christmas Day
It's the same old, same old Christmas
But I like it, I like it that way
It's the same old, same old Christmas Eve
It's the same old Christmas Day
It's the same old, same old Christmas
But I like it, I like it that way
It's the same old ..........

Schreeuw In De Nacht
Schreeuw In De Nacht
Performer(s): Liliane Saint-Pierre
Er klinkt een schreeuw in de nacht
Een kreet zo heel onverwacht
Geen venster dat opengaat
Niets beweegt, er is niets hier meer op straat
Het donker grijpt om me heen
M'n lichaam is als versteend
En heel de wereld vergaat
Als ik in m'n hart de angst binnenlaat
Akelige dingen
Zijn me aan 't beklimmen
Ik weet niet eens
Waarom ik hier loop
Harde koude woorden
Als valse akkoorden
Ik weet niet eens
Wat ik nu ontloop
Ik voel een schreeuw in m'n lijf
Een daarmee weet ik geen blijf
Zo onbeholpen en klein
Want ik had zo graag bij jou willen zijn
Laat mij de wijn doen
Dingen die pijn doen
Ik kan het niet
Ik kan het niet aan
De vertrouwde woorden
Vaak m'n toevlucht hoorde
Nu dynamiet
In rook opgegaan
Er klinkt een schreeuw in de nacht
Een kreet zo heel onverwacht
Die komt gewoon uit m'n lijf
Waarin ik verscheurd en dood achterblijf
Er klinkt een schreeuw in de nacht
Een kreet zo heel onverwacht
Die komt gewoon uit m'n lijf
Waarin ik verscheurd en dood achterblijf
Oooh, er klinkt een schreeuw in de nacht
Een kreet zo heel onverwacht
Oooh, die komt gewoon uit m'n lijf
Waarin ik verscheurd en dood achterblijf
Er klinkt een schreeuw in de nacht
Er klinkt een schreeuw in de nacht

Sailing Home For Christmas
Sailing Home For Christmas
Composer(s): Lewis Anderson
Performer(s): Doug Stone
They looked out their windows
At the ocean that surrounds them
In the service of their country
Sailin' to a foreign shore
Tomorrow will be Christmas
And they wish that they could be home
Their wives and children need them
But their country needs them more
But, they'll be sailin' home for Christmas
Sailin' home for Christmas
Where a welcome candle in the window gleams
They'll be sailin' home for Christmas
Sailin' home for Christmas
Sailin' home for Christmas in their dreams
Tomorrow they'll serve turkey
And they'll sing the Christmas carols
They'll talk about their family
Their mothers and their sons
It's the strangest contradiction
Singin' songs of peace and sharing
As they man the battle weapons
Hopin' war will never come
But, they'll be sailin' home for Christmas
Sailin' home for Christmas
Where a welcome candle in the window gleams
They'll be sailin' home for Christmas
Sailin' home for Christmas
Sailin' home for Christmas in their dreams
Maybe someday they won't have to
Be there anymore
When they all start to live the things
We have Christmas for
They'll be sailin' home for Christmas
Sailin' home for Christmas
Where a welcome candle in the window gleams
They'll be sailin' home for Christmas
Sailin' home for Christmas
Sailin' home for Christmas in their dreams

First release by: Alice Cooper - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists
Well, we got no choice
All the girls and boys
Makin' all that noise
'Cause they found new toys
Well, we can't salute ya
Can't find a flag
If that don't suit ya
That's a drag
School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces
No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks
Well, we got no class
And we got no principles
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes
School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces
No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks
Out for summer
Out 'til fall
We might not go back at all
School's out forever
School's out for summer
School's out with fever
School's out completely

Rusty Chevrolet
Rusty Chevrolet
Composer(s): Jim DeCaire; Joe Potila
Performer(s): Da Yoopers; The Deer Hunters
Dashing through the snow in my rusty Chevrolet
Down the road I go, sliding all the way
I need new piston rings
I need some new snow tires
My car is held together by a piece of chicken wire!
Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke, the door just blew away
I light a match to see the dash and then I start to pray-ay
The frame is bent, the muffler went, the radio's okay
Oh, what fun it is to drive this rusty Chevrolet!
I went to IGA, to get some Christmas cheer
I just passed up my left front tire and it's gettin' hard to steer
Speeding down the highway, right past the county cops
I have to drag my swampers just to get the car to stop
Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke, the door just blew away
I light a match to see the dash and then I start to pray-ay
The frame is bent, the muffler went, the radio's okay
Oh, what fun it is to drive this rusty Chevrolet!
Bouncing through the snowdrifts in a big, blue cloud of smoke
People laugh as I drive by; I wonder what's the joke!
I have to get to Wal-Mart to pick up my layaway
Cause Santa's comin' soon in his big, old, rusty sleigh!
Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke, the door just blew away
I light a match to see the dash and then I start to pray-ay
The frame is bent, the muffler went, the radio's okay
Oh, what fun it is to drive this rusttttttttty Chevroooooooleeeeeet!

School Teacher
School Teacher
Composer(s): Larry Cansler; Michael Martin Murphey
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers & The First Edition
Open the windows, Virginia
Let the wind blow the papers away
Don't know if you've got it in ya'
Just like a dunce in the eighth grade
You'll soon be an old maid
School teacher, rule creature, cool creature, school teacher
You're a beginner, Virginia
Simple arithmetic shows a delay
Do all the sums deep within 'ya
Oh yes, and then assign the grade
You'll soon be an old maid
School teacher, rule creature, cool creature, school teacher
Your soul's in limbo, Virginia
You found a formula for your mistakes
God doesn't know where to send 'ya
The Bible's black opaque keepsakes
When your red hair's turning gray
School teacher, rule creature, cool creature, school teacher

Composer(s): Johnny Marks; Marvin Lee Broadie
First release by: Chuck Berry - 1958
Covered by multiple other artists
Out of all the reindeer you know you're the mastermind
Run, run Rudolph, Randalph's not too far behind
Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town
Randalph he can hurry, he can take the freeway down
And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a merry-go-round
Said Santa to a boy child "What have you been longing for?"
"All I want for Christmas is a Rock and Roll electric guitar"
And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a shooting star
Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town
Can't you make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a merry-go-round
Said Santa to a girl child "What would you like most to get?"
"I want a little baby doll that can cry, scream and wet"
And away went Rudolph a whizzing like a Saber jet
Run, run Rudolph, run, run Rudolph, a running like a son-of-a-gun

School Love
School Love
Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul; Barry Blue
Performer(s): Barry Blue
School love - school love
The only thing you learn in school is ABC
But all I wanna know about is you and me
I went and told the teacher 'bout the thing we found
But all she said to me is that you're out of bounds in
School love, school love
Even though we broke the rule
I only wanna be ruled in
School love, school love
You an' I will be together, end-of-term until forever
They never ever teach you in history
And yet we seem to learn about it easily
I went and wrote 'I love you' on the classroom wall
I wanted ev'ry one to know the way to fall in
School love, school love
Even though we broke the rule
I only wanna be ruled in
School love, school love
You and I will be together, end-of-term until forever
After school, oh, I'll be walkin' you home
Just me and you - my very own - very own
School love, school love ....
Yeah!...

Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer
Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer
Composer(s): Johnny Marks
First release by: Gene Autry & The Pinafores - 1949
Covered by multiple other artists
You know Dasher and Dancer
And Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid
And Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw him
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Play in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then all the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history!

Round and round the Christmas tree
Presents hanging there for you and me
Lights all shining merrily
Christmas a week away
A-ring around the Christmas tree
Children making up a melody
Grown-ups laughing happily

Turkey and dressing, after the blessing
And there's just a night to wait
Round and round the Christmas tree
Opening presents with the family
One for you and two for me
Oh what a Christmas Day

Performer(s): Byron G. Harlan
and multiple other artists
Nothing to do, Nellie Darling
Nothing to do you say
Let's take a trip on memory's ship
Back to the bygone days
Sail to the old village school house
Anchor outside the school door
Look in and see, there's you and there's me
A couple of kids once more
School days, school days
Dear old golden rule days
Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hickory stick
You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful barefoot beau
And you wrote on my slate, "I love you, Joe"
When we were a couple of kids
'Member the hill, Nellie Darling
And the oak tree that grew on its brow
They've built forty storeys upon that old hill
And the oak's an old chestnut now
'Member the meadows so green, dear
So fragrant with clover and maize
Into new city lots and preferred bus'ness plots
They've cut them up since those days
School days, school days
Dear old golden rule days
Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hickory stick
You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful barefoot beau
And you wrote on my slate, "I love you, Joe"
When we were a couple of kids

First release by: The King Cole Trio - 1946
Covered by multiple other artists
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you!

Up in the mornin' and out to school
The teacher is teachin' the Golden Rule
American history and practical math
You study' em hard and hopin' to pass
Workin' your fingers right down to the bone
And the guy behind you won't leave you alone
Ring ring goes the bell
The cook in the lunchroom's ready to sell
You're lucky if you can find a seat
You're fortunate if you have time to eat
Back in the classroom open you books
Gee but the teacher don't know
How mean she looks
Soon as three o'clock rolls around
You finally lay your burden down
Close up your books, get out of your seat
Down the halls and into the street
Up to the corner and 'round the bend
Right to the juke joint you go in
Drop the coin right into the slot
You gotta hear something that's really hot
With the one you love you're makin' romance
All day long you been
Wantin' to dance
Feelin' the music from head to toe
'Round and 'round and 'round you go
Drop the coin right into the slot
You gotta hear something that's really hot
Hail, hail rock'n'roll
Deliver me from the days of old
Long live rock'n'roll
The beat of the drum is loud and bold
Rock rock rock'n'roll
The feelin' is there body and soul

Wachten duurt lang, dat bleek al snel
Want ow beloftes bunt alleen moar spel

Want i-j loat mien wachten, wachten duurt lang

Op de snelweg in een auto ko-j niet an de gang
In de file mo-j wachten, wachten duurt lang
As ik pissen mot as ik pissen mot
Zit de deur op slot zit de deur op slot
A'k met een zeer gebit a'k met een zeer gebit
Op hete koalen zit op hete koalen zit
Mot dat now echt zo?
Ik bun zo bang
Ik zit te bibberen en te wachten
Wachten duurt lang
Elk uur van de dag, van de avond en de nach
Elke minuut, elk kwartier, gemartel en gemier
Plak die ellende achter het behang
Loat die moar wachten, wachten duurt lang
Loat die moar wachten, wachten duurt lang
Loat die moar wachten, wachten duurt lang...
