The Holly And The Ivy
The Holly And The Ivy
Composer(s): Cecil Sharp
The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir
The holly bears a blossom
As white as lily flower
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet Saviour
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir
The holly bears a berry
As red as any blood
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To do poor sinners good
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir
The holly bears a prickle
As sharp as any thorn
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
On Christmas Day in the morn
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir
The holly bears a bark
As bitter as any gall
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
For to redeem us all
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir
The holly and the ivy
Now both are full well grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir

The Eleven Hours Of Christmas
Performer(s): Jim Haynes
By the first hour of Christmas the kids are all awake
One can tell it's Christmas Day
By the second hour of Christmas the kids begin to make
Too much noise....
One can tell it's Christmas Day
By the third hour of Christmas the toys begin to break
Three broken toys, too much noise....
One can tell it's Christmas Day
By the fourth hour of Christmas your head begins to ache -
For no one enjoys, three broken toys, Too much noise.....
One can tell it's Christmas Day
By the fifth hour of Christmas you just have to take
Five aspirins please.... for no one enjoys, three broken toys, too much noise....
One can tell it's Christmas Day
By the sixth hour of Christmas you make a big mistake
Six cans of beer, five aspirins please.... for no one enjoys, three broken toys, too much noise....
One can tell it's Christmas Day
By the seventh hour of Christmas - your hands begin to shake
Seven relatives appear, six cans of beer, five aspirins please.... for no one enjoys, three broken toys, too much noise....
One can tell it's Christmas Day
By the eighth hour of Christmas dinner has been baked
Ate too much again, seven relatives appear, six cans of beer, five aspirins please....
for no one enjoys, three broken toys, too much noise....
One can tell it's Christmas Day
By the ninth hour of Christmas your stomache starts to quake
Nine hours of pain, ate too much again, seven relatives appear, six cans of beer, five aspirins please....
for no one enjoys, three broken toys, too much noise....
One can tell it's Christmas Day
By the tenth hour of Christmas you're eating Auntie's cake
Ten rows have started, nine hours of pain, ate too much again, seven relatives appear
six cans of beer, five aspirins please.... for no one enjoys, three broken toys, too much noise....
One can tell it's Christmas Day
By the eleventh hour of Christmas - go home for goodness sake -
Eleven couples parted, ten rows have started, nine hours of pain, ate too much again, seven relatives appear
six cans of beer, five aspirins please.... for no one enjoys, three broken toys, too much noise....
One can tell it's Christmas Day
If I get that old wishbone, I will make three wishes
I'd wish that I was on my own every single Christmas
I'd wish that I could disappear when relatives intruded
I'd wish with noisy toys each year...batteries weren't included!

The Hat I Got For Christmas Is Too Big
The Hat I Got For Christmas Is Too Big
Performer(s): Mel Blanc
The hat I got for Christmas is too big
It's nice, but my sombrero is too big
Is it raining, is it snowing, I can't see where I am going
`Cause the hat I got for Christmas is too big
But ring the bells and beat the drum
Ring the bells and beat the drum
I'll ring the bells to ??? for light
But if I see that Santé Claus I'm going to start a fight
The hat I got for Christmas is too big
Oh, it's nice, but my sombrero is too big
If you wonder why I shiver, I'll tell three times in the river
`Cause the hat I got for Christmas is too big
But ring the bells and beat the drum
Ring the bells and beat the drum
I'll ring the bells, but I feel sick
`Cause Mr. Santé Claus you played on me a dirty trick
The hat I got for Christmas is too big
It's nice, but my sombrero is too big
If you think it's hot in Siam, you should be in here where I am
The hat I got for Christmas is too big
The hat I got for Christmas is too big
It's nice, but my sombrero is too big
Can't tell one thing from another, I got married to my brother
The hat I got for Christmas is too big
But ring the bells and beat the drum
Ring the bells and beat the drum
I'll ring the bells and say: "Olé"
But Mr. Señor Santé Claus you spoiled my holiday
Porqué socce sombrero grande Santé Claus?

Shiver Me Timbers
Shiver Me Timbers
(German Version: Nach Mir Die Sinflut)
Composer(s): Tom Waits
First release by: Tom Waits - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists
I'm leavin' my fam'ly
Leavin' all my friends
My body's at home
But my heart's in the wind
Where the clouds are like headlines
On a new front page sky
My tears are salt water
And the moon's full and high
And I know Martin Eden's
Gonna be proud of me
And many before me
Who've been called by the sea
To be up in the crow's nest
Singin' my say
Shiver me Timbers
'Cause I'm a-sailin' away
And the fog's liftin'
And the sand's shiftin'
I'm driftin' on out
Ol' Captain Ahab
He ain't got nothin' on me, now
So swallow me, don't follow me
I'm trav'lin' alone
Blue water's my daughter
'n I'm gonna skip like a stone
So please call my missus
Gotta tell her not to cry
'Cause my goodbye is written
By the moon in the sky
Hey and nobody knows me
I can't fathom my stayin'
Shiver me timbers
'Cause I'm a-sailin' away
And the fog's liftin'
And the sand's shiftin'
I'm driftin' on out
Ol' Captain Ahab
He ain't got nothin' on me
So come and swallow me, follow me
I'm trav'lin' alone
Blue water's my daughter
'n I'm gonna skip like a stone
And I'm leavin' my family
Leavin' all my friends
My body's at home
But my heart's in the wind
Where the clouds are like headlines
Upon a new front page sky
And shiver me timbers
'Cause I'm a-sailin' away

The Happy Elf
Composer(s): Harry Connick Jr.
Performer(s): Harry Conninck Jr.
Seven days a week
Ev'ry week of the month
And ev'ry month of the year
He's got us making presents
And I'm happy
Ev'ry girl and boy
Gets their own kind of toy
We like to fill 'em with joy
We're workin' over time
To make 'em happy
Then on Christmas eve
We jump on big red's sleigh
We don't miss a chimney
On our jolly way
We won't stop until
Every kid gets a fill
Of Santa's brand of good will
The thrill of spilling cheer
Just makes us happy
So, if you've been good yourself
You might see the happy elf
Stop by your house and make
You very happy
The happy elf
I'm the happy elf
I'm the happy elf and I just might stop on by
The happy elf
I'm the happy elf
I'm the happy elf and I just might stop on by
I'm Santa's spy!

Composer(s): Tom Waits
Performer(s): Wolfgang Ambros
I loß alles lieg'n und stehn
I segel afoch fuat
Und niemand wird mit mir geh'n
mir geht's wieder guat
I verloß mei oides Leben
und alle meine Freund
Nur mit'n Wind und mit'n Wossa
mit Sunn und Mond vereint
Und i waß, da oide Hemingway
wär stolz g'wes'n auf mi
wie auf so viele andre
die eam g'folgt san, wie i
I schau obe vom Mastkorb
in die purpurrote Sonn
nach mir die Sinflut
i segel davon
Wenn ma am Ruder steht
wann si des Segel bläht
dann waß ma erst, wofür ma lebt
I bin der Kapitän
Schau zua, wie si der Nebel hebt
So haßt's mi, oba lassts mi gehn
kan Stress mehr und kann Druck
mei Ziel is der Horizont
und i komm nie mehr wieder z'ruck
So bittschön rufts mei Frau an
sie soll ned traurig sein
sie wird's ned begreifen
doch des geht boid vorbei
Hey und niemand verfolgt mi
i nimm mir jetzt mein Lohn
nach mir die Sintflut
i segel davon

Rabbit, rabbit .....
Rabbit, rabbit .....
You got a beatiful chin
You got beautiful skin
You got a beautiful face
You got taste
You got beautiful eyes
You got beautiful thighs
You got a lot, without a doubt
But I'm thinkin' bout blowin you out
Cos, you won't stop talking
Why don't you give it a rest?
You got more rabbit than Sainsbury's
It's time you got it off your chest
Now you was just the kind of girl to break my heart in two
Chorus
I knew right off when I first met my eyes on you
But how was I to know you'd break my ear holes too
With your excessive talking,
You're becoming a pest
Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit .....
Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit .....
Now you're a wonderful girl
You got a wonderful smell
You got wonderful arms
You got charms
You got wonderful hair
We make a wonderful pair
No I don't mind havin' a chat ....
But, you have to keep givin' it that

Bernard Lavilliers; S. Santa Maria
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Je vais te chanter
C'que je peux pas te dire
Encore
Je vais murmurer
C'que j'voulais t'écrire
Alors
Je viens d'arriver
Perdu seul ici
J'peux rien expliquer
Juste caresser la mélodie
De ma voix cassée
Somehow I need you
Love me love me tender
Somehow I loose you
I loose you remember
Un soleil rouillé
Sur ta peau métisse
S'endort
Nos deux sangs mêlés
Tes reins élastiques
Alors
Tout peut arriver
Ailleurs loin d'ici
Je veux plus y penser
Quelques mots d'amour au fond du lit
De ma voix cassée
Somehow I need you
Love me love me tender
Somehow I loose you
I loose you remember
Je vais te chanter
C'que j'voulais te dire
Alors
De ma voix cassée
Remember remember ...

Shirley will you be my girl?
I'll take you all around the world

Ships In The Night
Ships In The Night
Composer(s): Jack Bruce; Pete Brown
Performer(s): Jack Bruce
Ships in the night
Searching for day
Beckoning lips
So far away
Shadows adrift
Hiding from light
Ships in the night
Sometimes you feel
Then again you can't
Morning comes down
Soon after the dance
Time slowly drowns
Streets so unreal
Needing to heal
Harbours of love
Shining so calm
For beyond pain
Outside of harm
Why must we move
Into the rain
Again...
Ships in the night
Riding the waves
Yesterday slips
Into the haze
Memories ripped
Sliding from sight
Ships in the night
Maybe you win
Maybe you lose
Future seems like
Just another ruse
Sirens invite
Us to begin
Come right on in
Harbours of love
Shining so calm
Far beyond pain
Outside of harm
Why must we move
Out of the sun
Into the rain
Again...

Shipoopi
Shipoopi
Composer(s): Meredith Willson
Performer(s): Jimmy Giuffre
and multiple other artists
Well, a woman who'll kiss on the very first date
Is usually a hussy
And a woman who'll kiss on the second time out
Is anything but fussy
But a woman who'll wait till the third time around
Head in the clouds, feet on the ground
She's the girl he's glad he's found
She's his Shipoopi
Shipoopi! Shipoopi, Shipoopi
The girl who's hard to get!
Shipoopi. Shipoopi, Shipoopi
But you can win her yet.
Walk her once just to raise the curtain
Then you walk around twice and make for certain
Once more in the flower garden
She will never get sore if you beg her pardon
Do re me fa so la si
Do si la sol fa mi re do
Squeeze her once, when she isn't lookin'
If you get a squeeze back that's fancy cookin'
Once more for a pepper-upper
She will never get sore on her way to supper
Do re me fa sol la si
Do si do
Now little ol' Sal was a no-gal
As anyone could see
Lookit her now, she's a go-gal
Who only goes for me
Squeeze her once when she isn't lookin'
If you get a squeeze back, that's fancy cookin'
Once more for a pepper-upper
She will never get sore on her way to supper
Do re me fa sol la si
Do si do
Shipoopi, Shipoopi, Shipoopi
The girl who's hard to get
Shipoopi, Shipoopi, Shipoopi
But you can win her yet

Ship To Shore
Ship To Shore
Composer(s): Chris de Burgh
Performer(s): Chris de Burgh
Ship to shore, do you read me anymore
This line is bad, and fading
Ship to shore, answer my call
Send me a signal, a beacon to bring me home
I have been to see the world
Tasted life at every turn
And all the time
Your face came back to haunt me
Day by day the feeling grew
I know I'm still in love with you
The further that I go
The more I know it, I wanna show it
Ship to shore, do you read me anymore
This line is bad, and fading
Ship to shore, answer my call
Send me a signal, a beacon to bring me home
Moving fast, all systems go
You and I had time to grow
Before there was a breakdown in transmission
How I wish that we could turn
The clock back to the days when
We were lovers in the true sense
of the meaning, you must believe me
Ship to shore, do you read me anymore
This line is bad, I'm drowning
Ship to shore, answer my call
Send me a signal, a beacon to bring me home
Ship to shore,ship to shore, ship to shore ...
I cannot believe my eyes
But I think I see a light
You are everything I've always
Wanted in my life

Looking for a new a ship
Come on, people better climb on board
Come on, baby, now we're going home

People walking on the moon
