The First Nowell The Angel Did Say
The First Nowell The Angel Did Say - 1833 (aka First Noel - 1910)
(Danish Version: Den Allerførste Jul - 1978)
Composer(s): William Sandys; Traditional
The first Nowell the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep
on a cold winter's night that was so deep
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
The first Nowell the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep
on a cold winter's night that was so deep
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far
To seek for a king was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went
The first Nowell the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep
on a cold winter's night that was so deep
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took it rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay
The first Nowell the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep
on a cold winter's night that was so deep
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
Then entered in those wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee
and offered there in his presence
Their gold, and myrrh, and frakincense
The first Nowell the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep
on a cold winter's night that was so deep
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made heaven and earth of naught
And with his blood mankind hath bought
The first Nowell the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields as they lay, keeping their sheep
on a cold winter's night that was so deep
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel

It Takes Too Long To Learn To Live Alone
It Takes Too Long To Learn To Live Alone
Composer(s): Robert Allen; Leon Carr
Performer(s): Peggy Lee
and multiple other artists
I leave the house
I catch the bus and go to work
The way I did before
The same routine
Most everyday except I guess
I see my folks much more
A year has passed
I thought by now that I could make
A new life of my own
But habits are
So hard to break
I think of you
And I still ache
It takes too long to learn to live alone
It's really bad
When Friday comes because I know
The weekend lies ahead
The walks we took
The football games
And when it rained
How late we stayed in bed
I've done so much to change the house
The attic's full memories I know
And yet the night
Turned out the light
I wait for you to say goodnight
It takes too long to learn to live alone
I go on dates but when I do
I'd always find
Before the night is thru
The same routine
Behind my smile
I'm sitting there
Comparing them to you
And in the end it's always you
I'm feeling even more when I get home
I thought that I was free of you
But I was wrong I never knew
It takes too long to learn to live alone

It Takes Time
It Takes Time
Composer(s): Arthur Korb
Performer(s): Doris Day
It takes time
To get your gal to see the light
It takes time
It isn't always love at sight
From the first little glance
'Til she's ready for romance
Remember, little man, it takes time
It takes time
To make the coffee percolate
It takes time
To get your gal to set the date
From the first moonlight walk
'Til you get the baby talk
Remember, little man, it takes time
Now, Rome wasn't built in a day, they say
Not to mention the Pyramids and Sphinx
It took old Rip Van Winkle all of twenty years
To squeeze the livin' daylights out of forty winks
It takes time
To turn the Winter into Spring
It takes time
To get the dough to get the ring
From the first little smile
'Til you're walkin' down the aisle
Remember, little man, it takes time
It takes time
To make the coffee percolate
It takes time
To get your gal to set the date
From the first moonlight walk
'Til you get the baby talk
Remember, little man, it takes time
Now, Rome wasn't built in a day, they say
Not to mention the Pyramids and Sphinx
It took old Rip Van Winkle all of twenty years
To squeeze the livin' daylights out of forty winks
It takes time
To turn the Winter into Spring
It takes time
To get the dough to get the ring
From the first little smile
'Til you're walkin' down the aisle
Remember, little man ........... it takes time

Angels We Have Heard On High
Angels We Have Heard On High
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Andy Williams;
and various other artists
Angels we have heard on high
Singing sweetly through the night
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brave delight
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why these songs of happy cheer?
What great brightness did you see?
What glad tiding did you hear?
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the new-born King
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
See him in a manger laid
Whom the angels praise above
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
While we raise our hearts in love
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo

I am that, thou art that, and all this is that
I am that, thou art that, all this is that
I am that, thou art that, all this is that
This is that
Oooo
Daybreak and I take a glide
Into the pool of peace inside
(Two waves travel by)
To waves and I both travel by
(And that makes all the difference to me)
Life supporting waves of bliss
Mother Divine's precious kiss
Brings with love the light of wisdom
And the gift of eternal freedom
To waves and I both travel by
(... and the nature of man...)
And that makes all the difference to me
(Krishna...)
All this is that
I am that, thou art that, all this is that
I am that, thou art that, all this is that
This is that
This is that
Dusk time the shadows fall
Into the timeless time of all
To waves and I both travel by
Golden auras glow around you
Omnipresent love surrounds you
Wisdom warming as the sun
You and I are truly one
To waves and I both travel by
And that makes all the difference to me
I am that, thou art that, all this is that
I am that, thou art that, all this is that
I am that, thou art that, all this is that
I am that, thou art that, all this is that
I am that, thou art that, all this is that
I am that, thou art that, all this is that
I am that, thou art that, all this is that

It Takes Diff'rent Strokes
From the TV shoe "Diff'rent Strokes"
Composer(s): Alan Thicke; Gloria Loring; Al Burton
Performer(s): Gene Morford
Now, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum
What might be right for you

Then along come two
They got nothing but their jeans
But they got, Diff'rent Strokes
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world
Eve rybody's got a special kind of story
Everybody finds a way to shine
It don't matter that you got not alot
So what, they'll have theirs
And you'll have yours, and I'll have mine
And together we'll be fine . . .
Because it takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world
Yes it does
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world

Angel In The Christmas Play
Angel In The Christmas Play
Performer(s): Spike Jones
Poured the goldfish bowl into daddy's hat
Then I painted stripes down the family cat
Broke two teeth only yesterday
I'm the angel in the Christmas play
In department stores, 'do it just because
Pull the whiskers off of the San-tee Claus
Bite his leg, then I get away
I'm the angel in the Chrismas play
Daddy laughs, he bends in half
When I wear angel hair
But wait until he takes a spill
On halos on the stairs
Well I gotta go before the mailman stops
And he feels that glue in the letter box
See you all when its Christmas day
I'm the angel in the Christmas play
I put on my angel gown
And oh did momma laugh
She didn't guess it was her best dress...
The one I tore in half
On the roof today, gave 'em all a scare
I put on my wings, tried to fly thru air
Hope that lump's gonna go away
I'm the angel in the Christmas play
I'm the angel in the Christmas play

It Takes a Woman
It Takes a Woman
Composer(s): Jerry Herman
Performer(s): Horace Vandergelder; David Burns; Instant Glee Club
Vandergelder:
It takes a woman all powdered and pink
To joyously clean out the drain in the sink
And it takes an angel with long golden lashes
And soft dresden fingers
For dumping the ashes
Cornelius, Barnaby, and 2 customers:
Yes it takes a woman
A dainty woman
A sweetheart, a mistress, a wife
O yes it takes a woman
A fragile woman
To bring you the sweet things in life
Vandergelder:
The frail young maiden who's constantly there
For washing and blueing and shoeing the mare
And it takes a female for setting the table
And weaving the Guernsey
And cleaning the stable
All:
O yes it takes a woman
A dainty woman
A sweetheart, a mistress, a wife
O yes it takes a woman
A fragile woman
To bring you the sweet things in life
And so she'll work until infinity
Three cheers for femininity
Rah Rah Rah...Rah Rah Rah
F. E. M. - I. T. Y
Vandergelder:
F. E. M. I. T. Y?
Get out of here!
And in the winter she'll shovel the ice
And lovingly set out the traps for the mice
She's a joy and treasure for practically speaking
To whom can you turn when the plumbing is leaking?
Vandergelder, Cornelius, and Barnaby:
To That dainty woman
That fragile woman
That sweetheart, that mistress, that wife
O yes it takes a woman
Vandergelder:
A husky woman
Vandergelder, Cornelius, & Barnaby
To bring you the sweet things in life!
All:
O Yes it takes a woman
A dainty woman
A sweetheart, a mistress, a wife
O yes it takes a woman, a fragile woman
To bring you the sweet things in life

An Old-Fashioned Christmas (The Carpenters)
An Old-Fashioned Christmas
Composer(s): John Bettis; Richard Carpenter
Performer(s): The Carpenters
How I miss that Old Fashioned Christmas!
Carols being sung by the tree,
Window's candlelight shining bright
For the whole world to see
Children's eyes of sweet expectations
Wondering what each present will hold
Lying in their beds and impatient
On long Christmas Eves of old
It used to be that all the family
Would gather for this one night
It used to be that special feeling shared together
Knowing Christmas was here one night a year
How I miss that Old Fashioned Christmas!
Memories that last through the years
Call me sentimental; Don't mind if you do
I wish an Old Fashioned Christmas to you!

It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry
(Romanian Version: E-Atît De Greu Sa Rîzi, E-Asa Usor Sa Plîngi - 1999)
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
First release by: Bob Dylan - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
Well I ride on a mailtrain baby, can't buy a thrill
Well I been up all night baby leanin' on the window sill
If I die on top of the hill
or if I don't make it, you know my baby will
Don't the moon look good shining through the trees
Don't the breakmen look good ma, flaggin' down the 'Double-E'
Don't the sun look good goin' down over the sea
but don't my gal look fine when she's coming after me
Well the wintertime is coming, the windows are filled with frost
I tried to tell everybody but I could not get across
Well I wanna be your lover babe, I don't wanna be your boss
Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost
I've just been to the baggage car where the bags been tossed
I snap out forty compasses, sure don't know what they cost
I wanna be your lover babe, I don't wanna be your boss
Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost

An Old-Fashioned Christmas (Frank Sinatra)
An Old-Fashioned Christmas
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; Fred Waring
Give me an old fashioned Christmas
An old fashioned Christmas
Family faces, wide open spaces
Covered with snow
Right now my Mom there in the kitchen
Basting the Christmas bird
You'll have to take my word
You can't find that at the automat
An old fashioned fireplace
Give me an old fashioned fireplace,
My heart remembers smouldering embers
Warming your glow
I'd trade that whole Manhattan skyline
The shimmering steel and chrome
For one old fashioned Christmas
Back home

It Takes A Little Rain With The Sunshine To Make The World Go Round
It Takes A Little Rain With The Sunshine To Make The World Go Round
Composer(s): Ballard MacDonald; Harry Carroll
A dear little girl and a dear little boy looked out at the drizzling rain
and tears filled her eyes and ran down her cheeks, like the drops on the window pane
so he said: "Don't you cry, you will see bye and bye
that a rainbow bright will shine on high
there are always rain clouds in the sky, and I'll tell you sweetheart why"
The dear little girl and the dear little boy grew up as most children do
and one summer day they went wandering away, on the road that makes one of two
she was sweet he was good, and they loved as they should
till a dark cloud came, do what they could
but she said she'd make up if he would, for she always understood
'Cause it takes a little rain with the sunshine
like the tear drops come with the smiles
but the troubles never come all at one time
just wait a little while, remember, flowers couldn't grow without rain, dear
happiness we share with the pain, dear
'cause it takes a little rain with the sunshine to make the world go around

Now listen here friends, I wanna tell you
About a brand new dance that you gotta learn to do

When you get started it's hard to stop
If you don't look out, you're gonna blow your top
When you do the oakie boogie, and do it oakie style
That mean ol' oakie boogie and let her drive you wild
Now you got the beat, I'll tell you what to do
Grab your partner and follow on through
Let's do the oakie boogie, Oklahoma style
That mean ol' oakie boogie drives everybody wild

Performer(s): Jerry Williams
In July of '62
The moment we met
My summer with you
I'll never forget
I was looking to find
Someone carin' like you
When I think of the time
Feelin' lonely and blue didn't know what to do
Ah Oh Oh
It started with a love affair
You showed me how to really care
With you I travel everywhere
If you feel the same only call my name
I'll be there
They play it now again
Our favorite song
It's still the same the refrain
Despite the years have gone
I was lucky to find
Someone carein' like you
When I think of the time
Feelin' lonely and blue didn't know what to do
It started with a love affair
You showed me how to really care
With you I travel everywhere
If you feel the same only call my name
I'll be there
I was lucky to find
Someone careing like you
When I think of the time
Feelin' lonely and blue didn't know what to do
It started with a love affair
You showed me how to really care
With you I travel everywhere
If you feel the same only call my name
I'll be there
