The Angels Listened In
The Angels Listened In
Composer(s): Sid Faust - Billy Dawn Smith
Performer(s): The Crests
The angels listened in, when they heard me praying
The angels listened in, when they heard me saying
"Please send me someone to love"
"Send the one I'm thinking of"
My darling, the angels sent you
The angels listened in, when they heard me crying
The angels listened in, there's no denying
They sent one with lovers charms
One who really thrills my arms
My darling, when the angels sent you
I searched everywhere
Just to find someone who cares
They came down to interrupt
Just as I had given up
The angels listened in and brought you near me
The angels listened in, I love them dearly
They gave me the whole wide world
Wrapped up in one little girl
My darling, when the angels sent you
Oh-woh-woh-woh-woh
Oh-woh-ooh-ooh...

It's Diff'rent Now
It's Diff'rent Now
Composer(s): Clive Westlake
Performer(s): Elvis Presley
I look at you and tell myself
How wonderful you are
You're so different now
To me you're much more wonderful, more wonderful by far
Yes, you're different now
There's more to love than holding hands and stealing kisses
When there's no-one else around
There's the good times and the bad
There's the ups and downs we've had
But it's different now,
I'm so glad I still have you
There's always something new to see
I look at you, you look at me
And we're so different now
Love gets better every day 'n in some peculiar way
It's always different now
If we ever say goodbye, you'd be lost
And so would I, what's the difference now
Between us
Love just for a day
And a love that's here to stay
That's the difference now, the difference now
Lah lah lah, lah lah lah lah ...

Christmas In My Soul
Christmas In My Soul
Composer(s): Laura Nyro
Performer(s): Laura Nyro
Come young braves
Come young children
Come to the book of love with me
Respect your brothers and your sisters
Come to the book of love
I know it ain't easy
But we're gonna look for a better day
Come young braves
Come young children
I love my country as it dies
In war and pain before my eyes
I walk the streets where disrespect has been
The sins of politics, the politics of sin
The heartlessness that darkens my soul
On Christmas
Red and silver on the leaves
Fallen white snow runs softly through the trees
Madonnas weep for wars of hell
They blow out the candles and haunt Noel
The missing love that rings through the work
On Christmas
Black panther brothers bound in jail
Chicago seven and the justice scale
Homeless Indian on Manhattan Isle
All God's sons have gone to trial
And all God's love is out of style
On Christmas
Christmas in my soul
Christmas in my soul
Christmas in my soul

It's De-Lovely
It's De-Lovely
Composer(s): Cole Porter
First performance by: Ethel Merman & Bob Hope - 1936
Covered by multiple other artists
Billy:
The night is young, the skies are clear
So if you want to go walking, dear
It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely
I understand the reason why
You're sentimental, 'cause so am I
It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely
You can tell at a glance
What a swell night this is for romance
You can hear dear Mother Nature
Murmuring low
"Let yourself go!"
So please be sweet, my chickadee
And when I kiss you, just say to me
"It's delightful, it's delicious
It's delectable, it's delirious
It's dilemma, it's delimit, it's deluxe
It's de-lovely"
Hope:
I feel a sudden urge to sing
The kind of ditty that invokes the spring
Billy:
I'll control my desire to curse
While you crucify the verse
Hope:
This verse I started seems to me
The Tin-Pantithesis of a melody
Billy:
So spare us all the pain
Just skip the darn thing and sing the refrain...
Hope:
Mi, mi, mi, mi
Re, re, re, re
Do, sol, mi, do, la, si
The night is young, the skies are clear
So if you want to go walking, dear
It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely
I understand the reason why
You're sentimental, 'cause so am I
It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely
You can tell at a glance
What a swell night this is for romance
You can hear dear Mother Nature
Murmuring low
"Let yourself go!"
Billy:
So please be sweet, my chickadee
And when I kiss you, just say to me
"It's delightful, it's delicious
It's...It's de-lovely"

Christmas In Killarney
Christmas In Killarney
Composer(s): James Cavanaugh - John Redmond - Frank Weldon
Performer(s): Dennis Day
and multiple other artists
The holly green, the ivy green
The prettiest picture you've ever seen
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home
It's nice, you know, to kiss your beau
While cuddling under the mistletoe
And Santa Claus you know, of course
Is one of the boys from home
The door is always open
The neighbors pay a call
And Father John before he's gone
Will bless the house and all
How grand it feels to click your heels
And join in the fun of the jigs and reels
I'm handing you no blarney
The likes you've never known
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home

It's Dark On Observatory Hill
It's Dark On Observatory Hill
Composer(s): Johnny Burke; Harold Spina
Performer(s): Ray Conniff
and multiple other artists
It's dark on observatory hill
Come on, let's pretend we're Jack and Jill
We'll stroll to the hilltop where college sweethearts go
And look at the lights on the campus down below
We'll learn what astronomy is for
We'll learn what the stars can have in store
We'll know in advance the moon may mean romance
When it's dark on observatory hill
And I'd like to recite you a poem that I wrote
It tells why I think you're wonderful
Then from afar we can hear a sweet guitar
While voices are harmonizing
We don't have to know arithmetic
To figure why you and I would click
My heart tells me this: your lips were meant to kiss
When it's dark on observatory hill

Christmas In July
Christmas In July
Composer(s): Jen Leigh - Jeffrey Barnes
Performer(s): Brave Combo
The president was passing laws
Gave a call to Santa Claus
He said, "Get that toy machine on high
Economy is in a slump
I know what could pick it up
This year let's have Christmas in July"
Oh, we'll have a Christmas, a summer Christmas
We'll have one fine fun-time unwinding
In the sunshine Christmas
Oh, we'll spend yuletide, down by the poolside
This year let's have Christmas in July
I'm dreamin' of a hot Christmas
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells on the ice cream truck
Rudolf, the sunburned reindeer
Have yourself a very steamy Christmas
Who says Christ was a Capricorn?
Maybe He perhaps was born
On the hottest Sunday of the year
His birthday might have been the time to be
On the beach at Galilee
Watching him change water into beer
They'd have a Christmas, a summer Christmas
You'd see the Lord could surf
Without a surfboard Christmas
Could it be possible? Check out the gospel
This year let's have Christmas in July

Our glasses brim with love and joy and cheer
To all a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
There’s thetree to trim

Christmas In Jamaica
Christmas In Jamaica
Composer(s): Toni Braxton - O. Burrell - Dave Kelly - Keri Lewis - Craig Love - Donnie Scantz
Performer(s): Toni Braxton; Shaggy
We'll be having fun
Under the golden sun
Christmas in Jamaica here we come...
We'll just sail on, just sail...
Lovers frolickin'
Playin' in the sand
Got my coppertone
Getting on my tan
Exotic setting for a
Lady and her man
A perfect little holiday
Sounds like a plan
We can stay in bed all afternoon
We can make out to some cool reggae tunes
We can sail under the light of the moon
Wish we could freeze this moment
Then it wouldn't end so soon...
We'll be having fun
Under the golden sun
Christmas in Jamaica here we come...
We'll just sail on, just sail...
Unplug the phones, y'all
Don't need no calls
No callin' home
Take a break from it all...
'Cause we're both grown
And we can do whatever, see?
Baby, it's just you and me
Let's live out a fantasy
Hiking in the mountains, romantic rendez-vous
Bathing in the fountains, stop, let me look at you...
Just in case you're doubtin', let me paint a view
Picture you're in heaven, everything is true

A Boy Like That/I Have A Love
A Boy Like That/I Have A Love
Composer(s): Leonard Bernstein - Stephen Sondheim
Performer(s): Betty Wand
and multiple other artists
Maria's Bedroom - 11:30 p.m.
(Anita knocks at Maria's locked door
After agreeing with Maria to meet at the drugstore, Tony scrambles out the window
Maria opens the door for Anita, who looks at the bed and turns to her accusingly)
Anita (bitterly):
A boy like that who'd kill your brother
Forget that boy and find another
One of your own kind!
Stick to your own kind!
A boy like that will give you sorrow
You'll meet another boy tomorrow
One of your own kind!
Stick to your own kind!
A boy who kills cannot love
A boy who kills has no heart
And he's the boy who gets your love
And gets your heart
Very smart, Maria, very smart!
A boy like that wants one thing only
And when he's done he'll leave you lonely
He'll murder your love; he murdered mine
Just wait and see
Just wait, Maria
Just wait and see!
Maria:
Oh, no, Anita, no!
Anita, no!
It isn't true, not for me
I hear your words
And in my head
I know they're smart
But my heart knows they're wrong
And my heart is too strong
For I belong to him alone, to him alone
One thing I know: I am his
I don't care what he is
I don't know why it's so
I don't want to know
Anita:
A boy like that who'd kill your brother
Forget that boy and find another
One of your own kind!
Stick to your own kind!
A boy like that will give you sorrow
You'll meet another boy tomorrow
One of your own kind!
Stick to your own kind!
A boy who kills cannot love
A boy who kills has no heart
And he's the boy who gets your love
And gets your heart
Very smart, Maria, very smart!
Maria:
Oh, no, Anita, no!
Anita, no!
You should know better!
You were in love - or so you said
You should know better...
I have a love, and it's all that I have
Right or wrong, what else can I do?
I love him; I'm his
And ev'rything he is
I am too
I have a love and it is all that I need
Right or wrong, and he needs me too
I love him, we're one
There's nothing to be done
Not a thing I can do
But hold him
Hold him forever
Be with him now tomorrow
And all of my life!
Both:
When love comes so strong
There is no right or wrong
Your love is your life!
(A policeman comes in to question Maria, who sends Anita to tell Tony)

Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen
It's truly a real honourable experience to be here this evening
A wonderful and warm and emotional moment for all of us
And I'd like to sing a song for all of you...
It's Christmas in Heaven
All the children sing

But it's nice and warm, and everyone
Looks smart and wears a tie

There's gifts for all the family
There's toiletries and trains

There's Sony Walkman Headphone sets
And the latest video games
Everyone:
It's Christmas!

Hip hip hip hip hip hooray!
Every single day

It's Christmas in Heaven!
Hip hip hip hip hip hooray!
Every single day
Is Christmas day!

It's Breaking Me Up
It's Breaking Me Up
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull; Blodwyn Pig
So many long days
In so many ways
I try to get through to what lies deep inside of you
Oh, baby. I said, you're breaking me up, woman
Yeah, you're breaking me down
You're lying in little pieces
scattered all around
You're doing your worst to see me get hurt
You're waiting to see the tears running out of me
But, oh, baby, I said you're breaking me up, woman
You're breaking me down
You're lying in little pieces
scattered all around
My teares have run dry and you wonder why
I've found a new woman who don't do the things you can
Oh, baby, I said you're breaking me up, woman
You're breaking me down
You're lying in little pieces
scattered all around

Performer(s): Alabama
and multiple other artists
By now in New York City, there's snow on the ground
And out in California, the sunshine's falling down
And, maybe down in Memphis, Graceland's all in lights
And in Atlanta, Georgia, there's peace on earth tonight
Christmas in Dixie, it's snowin' in the pines
Merry Christmas from Dixie, to everyone tonight
It's windy in Chicago
The kids are out of school
There's magic in Motown
The city's on the move
In Jackson, Mississippi, to Charlotte, Caroline
And all across the nation, it's the peaceful Christmas time
Christmas in Dixie, it's snowin' in the pines
Merry Christmas from Dixie, to everyone tonight
And from Fort Payne, Alabama
God bless y'all...
We love ya...
Happy New Year...
Good night
Merry Christmas...
Merry Christmas tonight

It's Been So Long, Darlin'
Since I had to go away
It's Been So Long, Darlin'

You cried that whole day long

But now I'm comin' home

Since I gazed into your eyes
It's Been So Long, Darlin'
Do you really realize
That the thought of seein' you
It scares me thru and thru
It's Been So Long, Darlin'
Since I had a kiss from you
It's Been So Long, Darlin'
But it won't be long now
It's Been So Long, Darlin'
But I've kept ev'ry vow
I pray that you'll be waiting
As you did in days gone by
It's Been So Long, Darlin'
Please don't blame me if I cry
It's Been So Long, Darlin'
Since I gazed into your eyes
It's Been So Long, Darlin'
Do you really realize
That the thought of seein' you
It scares me thru and thru
It's Been So Long, Darlin'
Since I had a kiss from you

Christmas Hymn
Christmas Hymn
Composer(s): Amy Grant - Michael W. Smith
Performer(s): Amy Grant
Praise to God whose love was shown
Who sent his Son to earth
Jesus left his rightful throne
Became a man by birth
The virgin's baby son
All creation praised Him
God incarnate come
Come to Bethlehem
Still a higher call had He
Deliverance from our sins
Come to set all people free
>From Satan's hold within
For by the sin of man we fell
By the Son of God
He crushed the power of Hell
Death we fear no more
Now we stand with strength, with power
The sons of God on earth
Faithful to the final hour
Christ's righteousness our worth
And now all praise is given
For the babe, the Son
The Savior King is risen
Christ is Lord indeed
For the babe, the Son
The Savior King is risen
Christ is Lord indeed

and multiple other artists
Kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again

I've dreamed about you
Or just how empty they all seemed without you
So kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long, long time
Ah, kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long time
Haven't felt like this my dear
Since I can't remember when
It's been a long, long time

Christmas For Cowboys
Christmas For Cowboys
Composer(s): Steve Weisberg
Performer(s): John Denver
and multiple other artists
Tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day
Drivin' the cattle on the snow-covered plains
All of the good gifts given today
Ours is the sky and the wide open range
Back in the cities, they have diff'rent ways
Football and eggnog and Christmas parades
I'll take the blanket, I'll take the reins
Christmas for cowboys and the wide open plains
A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night
The stars overhead are the Christmas-tree lights
The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray
Christmas for cowboys and the wide open range
It's tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day
Drivin' the cattle on the snow-covered plains
So many gifts have been opened today
Ours is the sky and the wide open range
It's Christmas for cowboys and wide open plains

It's Anybody's Spring
It’s Anybody’s Spring
Composer(s): Johnny Burke; James Van Heusen
Performer(s): Jack Lemmon
and multiple other artists
You think that money is everything
And yet it’s anybody’s Spring
Go make a fortune, become a king
And still it’s anybody’s Spring
And if you flash a bank roll
Do you suppose the brook would care?
Or that a rose would say
“There goes a millionaire!”
It’s more than diamonds around a ring
Because it’s anybody’s Spring
You may be born with the silver spoon
And yet it’s anybody’s moon
You couldn’t buy a ticket
To hear the first robin sing
It’s free because
It’s anybody’s Spring
You couldn’t buy a ticket
To hear the first robin sing
It’s free because
It’s anybody’s Spring
