I've Got A Story
I've Got A Story
Composer(s): Marvin Gaye; Mickey Stevenson; Henry Cosby
Performer(s): Mary Wells
I've got a story (story)
I've got a story that I wanna tell you
I've got a story about a boy I know
Who gave all his love to a girl I know
& said that she wouldn't have to worry
No more (no more) no more (no more)
Now he was so faithful (faithful)
Really faithful to his love you see ee
But she was so ungrateful
When she took his love & went out every night
With some other guy; she knew that wasn't right
Now she's sorry
But it's too late, oh it's much too late (too late)
(x2):
When he left her she cried
Tears fell from her eyes
Had she known she loved him so
She never would have let him go
Now it was me (me)
It was me who lost a real true lover
So you see
If you've got a love that's really true to you
From my story, you know just what to do
You'd better love him or treat him good or treat him right
Hold him tight, talk to him right, all day & night ...

The Friendly Beasts
The Friendly Beasts
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Burl Ives;
and various other artists
Jesus our brother, kind and good
Was humbly born in a stable rude
And the friendly beasts around Him stood
Jesus our brother, kind and good
"I," said the donkey, shaggy and brown
"I carried His mother up hill and down
I carried her safely to Bethlehem town"
"I," said the donkey, shaggy and brown
"I," said the cow, all white and red
"I gave Him my manger for a bed
I gave Him my hay to pillow His head"
"I," said the cow, all white and red
"I," said the sheep with curly horn
"I gave Him my wool for His blanket warm
He wore my coat on Christmas morn"
"I," said the sheep with curly horn
"I," said the dove from the rafters high
"Cooed Him to sleep that He should not cry
We cooed Him to sleep, my mate and I"
"I," said the dove from the rafters high
"I," said the camel, yellow and black
"Over the desert, upon my back
I brought Him a gift in the Wise Men's pack"
"I," said the camel, yellow and black
Thus every beast by some good spell
In the stable dark was glad to tell
Of the gift he gave Emmanuel
The gift he gave Emmanuel

I've Got A Lovely Bunch Of Coconuts
Composer(s): Fred Heatherton
Performer(s): Danny Kaye
and multiple other artists
Down at an english fair one evening I was there
When I heard a showman shouting underneath the flair
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts
There they are all standing in a row
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head
Give them a twist a flick of the wrist
That’s what the showman said
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts
Every ball you throw will make me rich
There stands my wife, the idol of me life
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball, roll a bowl a ball
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts (they’re lovely)
There they are all standing in a row (one, two, three, four)
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head (and bigger)
Give them a twist a flick of the wrist
That’s what the showman said
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts
Every ball you throw will make me rich
There stands my wife, the idol of me life
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch (all together now)
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch (harmony)
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball, roll a bowl a ball
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch aa

For Christ this time was born
Who did from death deliver us
When we were left forlorn
For the Saviour of all people
Upon this time was born
Who did from death deliver us
When we were left forlorn

Our bread it is white and our ale it is brown
Our bowl, it is made of the good maple tree

And we hope your soul in Heaven may rest
But if you do bring us a bowl of the small

Come trip to the door and pull back the pin
And let us jolly wassailers in

Gloria Tibi Domine
Gloria Tibi Domine
There is a Child born of our blessed Virgin
I heard a Maid lullaby to sing
Peace, my dear Child, of thy weeping
For thou shalt be our Heavenly King
Now sing we, and now sing we
To the Gloria tibi Domine
O Mother! O Mother! your wishes are nought
It is not for me such carols are wrought
Such carols were never by woman thought
To the Gloria tibi Domine
Now sing we, and now sing we
To the Gloria tibi Domine
O my dear Son, why sayest thou so?
Thou art my Son, I have no moe
When Gabriel begot thee, full of grace
Thou needest not tell me of this case
Now sing we, and now sing we
To the Gloria tibi Domine
O they will thrust, Mother, my head from my hair
With a crown of thorns they will me not spare
And with the sharp spears my heart will tear
To the Gloria tibi Domine
Now sing we, and now sing we
To the Gloria tibi Domine
O come you here, Mother, and you shall see
My hands and my feet nailed to the rood tree
And my feet, Mother, are fastned thereby
A vile sight, Mother for you to see
Now sing we, and now sing we
To the Gloria tibi Domine
And now sing we more or less
And welcome be this merry Christmas

Covered by multiple other artists
How glad the many millions of Annabelles and Lillians
Would be to capture me
But you had such persistence, you wore down my resistance
I fell and it was swell
I'm your big and brave and handsome Romeo
How I won you I shall never, never know
It's not that you're attractive
But, oh, my heart grew active
When you came into view
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and night-time give me sign
I never had the least notion that
I could fall with so much emotion
Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
'Cause I have got a crush on you
Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage
That we could share
The world will pardon my mush
'Cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you

Natt över Judaland, natt över Sion
Borta vid västerrand slocknar Orion
Herden som sover trött, barnet som slumrar sött
vakna vid underbar korus av röster
skåda en härligt klar stjärna i öster
Gånga från lamm och hem, sökande Eden
stjärnan från Betlehem visar dem leden
Stjärnan från Betlehem leder ej bort men hem
Barnen och herdarna följa dig gärna
strålande stjärna, strålande stjärna

I’ve Gone And Lost My Little Yo-Yo
Composer(s): Fred Shuff; Walter Kemp
Performer(s): Billy Cotton
Hello old chap, you’re looking miserable
Alan:
So would you be miserable
I’m sad and disappointed
I’m as sore as I can be
When the missus finds what’s happened
She’ll be more upset than me
There’ll be no peace for me at home
It’s sure to cause some strife
I’ve lost the only thing that seemed
To charm our married life
I had it when I left the house at half past ten
I had it in my hand alright
I showed it to a woman at the corner, then
It filled her with delight
The wife will want to play with it
When I get home
But I can’t find it, oh no
It means we’ll have to part
It’s sure to break her heart
When she finds I’ve gone and lost
My little yo-yo
I did all kind of tricks with it
Could trail it on the ground
I could swing it up and swing it down
And swing it round and round
I’ll have to get another one
No matter what it costs
It may not please the missus
Like the one I’ve gone and lost
I had it when I left the house at half past ten
I had it in my hand alright
I showed it to a woman at the corner, then
It filled her with delight
The wife will want to play with it
When I get home
But I can’t find it, oh no
Sher’ll take the only course
And sue for a divorce
When she finds I’ve gone and lost
My little yo-yo
I showed it to Matilda
She’s the barmaid at the Crown
I taught her how to play with it
And swing it up and down
It fairly took her fancy
P’rhaps she’s stolen it from me
I dare not tell the wife
In case it causes jealousy
I had it when I left the house at half past ten
I had it in my hand alright
I showed it to a woman at the corner, then
It filled her with delight
The wife will want to play with it
When I get home
But I can’t find it, oh no
She’ll miss it, there’s no doubt
She’s sure to throw me out
When she finds I’ve gone and lost
My little yo-yo

Giving (Santa's Theme)
Giving (Santa's Theme)
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse; Henry Mancini
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis
In this old world that we live in
There is one great joy that ev'ryone can share
The joy of giving to the
People for whom we care
If you show love in small ways
It is always there
To be giving and forgiving
Is to know the reason why we're living
What's so hard about giving?
It's a perfectly simple art
The trick is to live with love from the start
And to give with an open heart
In this old world that we live in
There is one great joy that ev'ryone can share
The joy of giving to the
People for whom we care
If you show love in small ways
It is always there
To be giving and forgiving
Is to know the reason why we're living
What's so hard about giving?
It's a perfectly simple art
The trick is to live with love from the start
And to give with an open heart
