It's You I Love
Composer(s): Dave Bartholomew; Fats Domino
Performer(s): Fats Domino
and multiple other artists
You know I love you, want you to love me too
let's get together, like old folks used to do
we'll get married, go to Paris
come here, it's me, it's you I love
I'll be your little boy, you'll be my little girl
we'd go round and round, round this crazy world
even in the rain, we'll go hand in hand
come here, it's me, it's you I love
No matter what the people say, we'll do things our way
we'd be together, each and every day
when you are blue, I'd be there with you
come here, it's me, it's you I love
You know I love you, want you to love me too
let's get together, like old folks used to do
we'll get married, go to Paris
come here, it's me, it's you I love
I'll be your little boy, you'll be my little girl
we'd go round and round, round this crazy world
even in the rain, we'll go hand in hand
come here, it's me, it's you I love

Father Christmas (The Kinks)
Father Christmas
Composer(s): Ray Davies
First release by: The Kinks - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists
When I was small I believed in Santa Claus
Though I knew it was my dad
And I would hang up my stocking at Christmas
Open my presents and I'd be glad
But the last time I played Father Christmas
I stood outside a department store
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
And knocked my reindeer to the floor
They said
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys
Don't give my brother a Steve Austin outfit
Don't give my sister a cuddly toy
We don't want a jigsaw or monopoly money
We only want the real McCoy
Father Christmas, give us some money
We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys
But give my daddy a job 'cause he needs one
He's got lots of mouths to feed
But if you've got one, I'll have a machine gun
So I can scare all the kids down the street
Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys
Have yourself a merry merry Christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothin'
While you're drinkin' down your wine
Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
Father Christmas, please hand it over
We'll beat you up, so don't make us annoyed
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread, so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

There must be a word that says how much I love you
One fulfilling word that shows how much I care
Wonderful, to be the word

So much pride is what I felt inside
When from the hope of heights ??? you reach for me
Then I saw my life change when you became
The girl that walks with me, the one that talks to me
And I, I walk with my ???
??? people can be ??? as ???

It’s wonderful to be needed by you
Wonderful, I’ve got this feeling
So wonderful, there’s no concealing (?)
That it’s wonderful to be loved by you

Empty, is how life was for me
Until you took your love (?) and filled it up
And then so suddenly my heart came alive

And I accept the greatest joy a man can possess
Thank you for giving me, all this happiness
Cause it’s wonderful to be loved by you
So wonderful baby, to be needed by you

Makes me feel so good to be needed by you
It’s wonderful to be loved by you

Father Christmas
Father Christmas
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Father Christmas
Father Christmas
He’s the meanest man in the whole wide world
In the whole wide world, you can feel it
He’s a miser
He’s a skinflint
He’s a stingy lout
Leave your stocking out
For your Christmas gift and he’ll steal it
It’s a shame
He’s a villain
What a game
For a villain to play on Christmas day
Father Christmas
Father Christmas
Will be just as mean
As he’s ever been
And I’m here to say
We should all send Father Christmas
On his merry Christmas way
Father Christmas
Father Christmas
He’s the rottenest man in the universe
And there’s no one worse, you can tell it
He’s a rascal
He’s a bandit
He’s a crafty one
Leave your door undone
He’ll move in your house and sell it
It’s a crime
It’s a scandal
What a game
For a vandal to play on Christmas day
If you distrust
Father Christmas
It’s as well to know
That I told you so
‘Cause I’m here to say
We should all send Father Christmas
Father Christmas, Father Christmas
Father Christmas, Father Christmas
On his merry Christmas way
Reprise
Father Christmas
Father Christmas
He’s the greatest man in the whole wide world
In the whole wide world and he knows it
Every Christmas
Father Christmas
Puts a great big sack
On his dear old back
‘Cause he loves us all
And he shows it
And he goes for a sleighride
In the snow and he may ride all night
And that’s all right
In the morning
Christmas morning
If you lift your eyes
There’s a big surprise
Underneath the tree
It’s a gift from Father Christmas
From Father Christmas
That’s how Christmas will appear

It's Wonderful
Composer(s): Mitchell Parish; Stuff Smith; Robert Wells
Performer(s): Benny Goodman
and multiple other artists
It's wonderful to look into your eyes
And realise you care a little bit
It's wonderful to know that you love me
It's glorious to feel that I'm a part of you sweetheart
To share your happiness
It's marvelous how lovely love can be
Who dreamed that I'd be allowed
Through the doorway of heaven
I'm drifting high on a cloud
You're an angel and this is heaven
It's wonderful to have your lips divine combined with mine
And dream forever more
It's wonderful to know that you love me
Who dreamed that I'd be allowed
Through the doorway of heaven
I'm drifting high, high on a cloud
You're an angel and this is heaven
Oh, it's wonderful to have your lips divine combined with mine
And dream forever more
It's wonderful to know that you love me
It's glorious
It's marvelous
Oh, Darlin', it's wonderful

It's Too Soon To Know
It’s Too Soon To Know
Composer(s): Chessler
Performer(s): Pat Boone
Does she love me? It’s too soon to know
Can I believe her when she tells me so?
Is she fooling? Is it all a game?
Am I the fire or just another flame?
A one-sided love would break my heart
She may be just acting and playing a part
If she won’t love me, let her tell me so
I can’t hold her if she wants to go
Though I’ll cry when she’s gone
I won’t die – I’ll live on
If it’s so, it’s too soon, way to soon, to know
If she won’t love me, let her tell me so
I can’t hold her if she wants to go
Though I’ll cry when she’s gone
I won’t die – I’ll live on
If it’s so, it’s too soon, way to soon, to know

Fall Softly Snow
Fall Softly Snow
Composer(s): Jean Surrey
Performer(s): Jim Ed Brown & Helen Cornelius
Fall softly snow
Blanket everything with purest white
Fall softly snow
Everything is holy here tonight
Shepherd boy upon the hill
Bid your flock be very still
Fall softly snow
A child is born tonight
Shine brightly star
Wisemen bringing gifts come from afar
Oh Holy light, brightest of them all, the Eastern Star
Herald angels from on high
Sing a tender lullaby
Fall softly snow
A child is born tonight
The time is here
Oh Holy Night, the angels sing
And from on high, heavenly hosts proclaim the King
In the manger by her side
Mary's eyes are filled with pride
Fall softly snow
Fall softly snow
The Christ child has just arrived
..... Silent night

It's too late, my baby's gone

First release by: The Pogues - 1988
Covered by multiple other artists
Titles In Other Languages:
1996 - Weihnachtsnaach
2003 - Nieuwjaar In Brussel
It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
And I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true
They've got cars
Big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on the corner
Then danced through the night
The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing 'Galway Bay'
And the bells were ringing
Out for Christmas day
You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Living there almost dead on a drip
In that bed
You scum bag
You maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God
It's our last
I could have been someone
So could anyone
You took my dreams
From me when I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

It's Too Late (Carole King)
It's Too Late
Composer(s): Carole King; Toni Stern
First release by: Carole King - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing, or maybe we've stopped trying
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you
But it's too late, baby, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

Everybody Knows The Claus
Everybody Knows The Claus
Composer(s): Isaac Hanson
Performer(s): Hanson
Don't you smell the cookies he's bakin
Can't you see that belly, it's shakin'
Don't you take a cookie off that pan
You don't want to mess with this man
You've never seen this side of him before
You know he wont be knockin' at your door
Here comes Santa Claus
Doin' all those good things
Everybody knows the Claus
Here come Santa Claus
You know he's a big man
Don't mess with the boss
Ask Rudolph and he won't steer you wrong
Now, Santa wasn't this fat all along
Until he started cookin' one day
Now don't take that turkey away
You've never seen this side of him before
You know he won't be knockin' at your door
Here comes Santa Claus
Doin' all those good things
Everybody knows the Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
You know he's a big man
Don't mess with the boss
Ridin' down the air highway in his sleigh
Bringing all the presents for the next day
Don't forget the donuts
His cookies and his milk are his pride
Or anything that can be deep fried
Don't get me wrong now he's a nice guy
But you don't want to get on his bad side
You've never seen this side of him, you've never seen this side of...
Here comes Santa Claus
Doin' all those things
Everybody knows the Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
You know he's a big man
Don't mess with the boss

Every Year, Every Christmas
Every Year, Every Christmas
Composer(s): Richard Marx; Luther Vandross
Performer(s): Luther Vandross; Patti LaBelle
I don't know how love could do this to me
I've waited and waited for someone I never see
But I'm so sentimental, and I'm so hopeful you'll be there
So, here I am every year, every Christmas
I've wished for you in my heart and in my head
And I got my answer that first moment that we met
And, oh yes, I believed you as you told me, as you said
You'd be here every year, every Christmas
There must be a lesson for me to learn
If you don't trust in love, you'll get nothing in return
Why should I be lonely, don't tell me it's right
I have my pride, but I'd rather be with you tonight
So much emotion, it's driving me mad
But I'll take my chances with these feelings that I have
And I'll come back to this same corner where we met
And I'll be here every year, every Christmas
Mere words can't explain the pain and the fear
'Cause oh, I wonder, yes, I wonder are you gonna leave me standing here
Today's almost over, but I don't want to leave
Has my heart made a fool out of me?
My friends gather round me with holiday cheer
They say to forget you, to let you go 'cause you're not here
Well, I can't keep explaining what they'll never understand
And why I'm here every year, every Christmas
I return every year, every Christmas
I come here every year, every Christmas

Light the candles
Get the ice out
Roll the rug up
It's today

And so I'm for making hay

In the world game
So this whole game's

Raise the rockets
Pull the stops out

Light the candles
Fill the punch bowl
Throw confetti

Girls:
Life can also be lived on a weekday
So don't depend on a holiday date
If you need New Year's to bubble
Then order a double and wait
Doo doo doo doo dah

There's a "thank you" you can give life
If you live life all the way
Pull the stops out
Hold the roof down

Crash the cymbals
Blow the bugle

Something I needed and yet never knew
So start to whistling and clapping
'Cause under the wrapping was you!
All:
And we'll give life
Quite a tumble
And we'll live life
All the way
Call the cops out
Raise the rocket
Pull the stops out
It's today!

The Big Apple
Composer(s): Robert Emmerich - Buddy Bernier
Performer(s): Tommy Dorsey
Dorsey: Hiya fellahs, what's new?
The Band: Not much!
Dorsey: Not much? Well, hello Edythe, what's new with you?
Wright: I've got a new dance. I'd like to show it to you...
If you've got rhythm to burn
Here's a dance that's easy to learn
If you don't, then your name is mud
If you don't, you're a social dud
'Cause ev'rybody's learnin' how to do the Big Apple (The Big Apple?)
And it isn't very hard to do the Big Apple (The Big Apple?)
Ten can do it just as well as two, the Big Apple (The Big Apple?)
Ev'rybody's learnin' how to do that brand new Apple dance
They say an apple a day will keep the doctor away
Hey-hey, it's easy to dance your cares away
Ev'rybody's learnin' how to do the Big Apple (The Big Apple?)
Come on, learn to do that Apple dance
First you gather round, then you cover ground
To a bit of this, a bit of that, and then
Do a Fred Astaire and a ???? air
Truck around and then you start right in again
You must do anything that you know
The most important thing is just to let yourself go
Dorsey: Say, Edythe, what's that apple you're talkin' about?
Wright: It's a new dance they're all ravin' about...
You truck on down and Suzie Q
Then shag a bit, and some posin' too
A Lindy hop, you get the lot
Put 'em all together and what've you got
The Big Apple (The Big Apple?)
The Big Apple (The Big Apple)
(Well, my my, yes yes, my my!)

It's The Same Old Dream
It's The Same Old Dream
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Jule Styne
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists
I can see a steeple - surrounded by people
Oh how real it all starts to seem
Just as the choir is singing - my alarm starts ringing
It's the same old dream
And then my thoughts inspire - a scene by the fire
In a cottage close by a stream
I know it all by heart now - we're about to part now
It's the same old dream
If you but knew
How many times I pretend - that I'm with you
I'm sure your heart would unbend - you'd see me through
Until my dream had a happy ending
And I can picture clearly - the things I love dearly
In the center you reign supreme
We kiss and I discover - I'm a lonesome lover
It's the same old dream

Es Kommt Ein Schiff Geladen
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Prinzen
and multiple other artists
Es kommt ein Schiff, geladen
bis an seinen höchsten Bord
Trägt Gottes Sohn voll Gnaden
des Vaters ewigs Wort
Das Schiff steht still im Triebe
es trägt ein teure Last
das Segel ist die Liebe
der Heilig Geist der Mast
Der Anker haft´auf Erden
und das Schiff ist am Land
Gottes Wort tut uns Fleisch werden
der Sohn ist uns gesandt
Zu Bethlehem geboren
im Stall ein Kindelein
gibt sich für uns verloren
gelobet muß es sein
Und wer dies Kind mit Freuden
küssen, umfangen will
der muß vor mit ihm leiden
groß Pein und Marter viel
darnach, mit ihm auch sterben
und geistlich auferstehn
ewigs Leben zu erben
wie an ihm ist geschehn

It's Time
Composer(s): G. Chadd; Jim Crichton; Ian Crichton; Steve Negus; Michael Sadler
Performer(s): Saga
Large and tall ones, short and small ones
Working 'round a frame
The pieces fit so perfectly
Like some large metal game
The time draws near, and with it fear
All senses a new kind
I'll not look back, on watered thoughts
Rearranging mine
It's time!
This time!
Make me now!
It's time!
This time!
Change me now!
The book has said, that all the plans
Would be well within my reach
And here things were
Even larger than I'd reamed
This metal gift, a perfect shift
From the art of being kind
I'll not look back, on tired thoughts
And all those changing minds
It's time!
This time!
Make me now!
It's time!
This time!
Change me now!
