Performer(s): Bobby Rydell
(Doop doop, doop doo doop doo doop)
(Ah-ooh ah-oop)
(Doop doop, doop doo doop doo doop)
(Ah-ooh ah-oop)
I've got Bonnie
Sweet sweet Bonnie
And all my lonely days are through
Now, now, now I've got Bonnie
Sweet sweet Bonnie
Made all my dreams come true
(Doop doop, doop doo doop doo doop)
(Ah-ooh ah-oop)
Once I used to cry
Nobody cared if I would live or die
But then one lucky day
I met a girl that heaven sent my way
Now I've got Bonnie
Sweet sweet Bonnie
And all my lonely days are through
Now, now, now I've got Bonnie
Sweet sweet Bonnie
Made all my dreams come true
(Doop doop, doop doo doop doo doop)
(Ah-ooh ah-oop)
I don't drive a car
I'll never be a famous movie star but
Still I wouldn't switch with someone else
If he was twice as rich
'cause I've got Bonnie
Sweet sweet Bonnie
And all my lonely days are through
Now, now, now I've got Bonnie
Sweet sweet Bonnie
Made
all my dreams come true

The Christmas Wish
The Christmas Wish
Composer(s): Dan Wheetman
Performer(s): John Denver
I don't know if you believe in Christmas
Or if you have presents underneath the Christmas tree
But if you believe in love, that will be more than enough
For you to come and celebrate with me
For I have held the precious gift that love brings
Even though I never saw a Christmas star
I know there is a light, I have felt it burn inside
And I have seen it shining from afar
Christmas is the time to come together
A time to put all differences aside
And I reach out my hand to the family of Man
To share the joy I feel at Christmas time
For the truth that binds us all together
I would like to say a simple prayer
That at this special time you will have true peace of mind
And love to last throughout the coming year
And if you believe in love
That will be more than enough
For peace to last throughout the coming year
And peace on earth will last throughout the year

God's Christmas Dilemma
God's Christmas Dilemma
Composer(s): Robin Mann
Christmas time was coming and God was wond'ring
What kind of present he could give his friends
Christmas time was coming all the shops were saying
And God didn't know what he could send
Should he give a tree for decorating
Should he give a star so clear and bright
Maybe just a single perfect diamond
Don't they say that diamonds are forever?
Christmas time was coming and God was thinking
That kind of present might be too passe
In the new millennium something technological
Would suit the information age
Should he give a fleet of brand new Porsches
Or a Bang and Olufsen hi-fi?
Then perhaps it should be something simpler
Maybe just a game for the computer
Christmas time was coming and God said
Hey, I think I've got the very thing to give right here
Modern and spectacular it may not be but
They'll appreciate it through the years.
Though it will be small, it will be special
It'll change the course of history
I'll even write a song for its arrival
I'm going to give a tiny brand new baby
And that baby will be me

I've Got A Winner In You
Composer(s): Wayland Holyfield; Don Williams
Performer(s): Don Williams
I ought to know, what it's like to lose at love
I've done it enough and I ought to know
But then you came my way and towed away the fear of pain
I won't lose again, this time I know
I've got a winner in you
No way I can lose
A love I can hold on to
I've got a winner in you
I know how it feels, when you try and try again
And then you never win; I know how it feels
Oh, but this time around, I fin'lly found what it's all about
They write songs about the way that I feel
I've got a winner in you
No way I can lose
A love I can hold on to
I've got a winner in you
I've got a winner in you
No way I can lose
A love I can hold on to
I've got a winner in you

God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen
(Traditional)
Performer(s): "Tennessee" Ernie Ford - 1958

God rest you merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy!
From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tiding of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
God rest you merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy!
"Fear not, then," said the angel
"Let nothing you affright
This day is born a Saviour
Of a pure virgin bright
To free all those who trust in him
From Satan's power and might"
God rest you merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy!
Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace
this holy tide of Christmas
Doth bring redeeming grace
God rest you merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy!
In Bethlehem, in Jewry
This blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
The which his mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

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

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

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, roll a bowl a ball
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch

Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head (and bigger)
Give them a twist a flick of the wrist

I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts

Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch (all together now)
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch (harmony)
