Oh Christmas Tree


Oh Christmas Tree (French, German, & Italian Versions: Mon Beau Sapin; O Tannenbaum; L'albero Di Natale) (Traditional)



O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree!
How are thy leaves so verdant!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
How are thy leaves so verdant!

Not only in the summertime
But even in winter is thy prime
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
How are thy leaves so verdant!

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Much pleasure doth thou bring me!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Much pleasure doth thou bring me!

For every year the Christmas tree
Brings to us all both joy and glee
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Much pleasure doth thou bring me!

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Thy candles shine out brightly!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Thy candles shine out brightly!

Each bough doth hold its tiny light
That makes each toy to sparkle bright
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Thy candles shine out brightly!

Say Goodnight (Brahm's Lullaby)


Say Goodnight (Brahm's Lullaby)
Performer(s): Eddy Arnold



Say goodnight, little one
Save some fun for tomorrow
Wave a bye-bye to your light
For your light is sleepy too

For your toys are in bed
Now they're resting and dreaming
Snuggle tight, say goodnight
For it's time you should be dreaming too

Say goodnight to the Moon
For it soon will be leaving
Say goodnight to the stars
They are twinkling just for you

For your toys are in bed
Now they're resting and dreaming
Snuggle tight, say goodnight
For it's time you should be dreaming too
Goodnight baby

Say Goodbye To Hollywood


Say Goodbye To Hollywood
(German Version: So Ist Eben Hollywood - 1979)
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel - 1976
and multiple other artists



Bobby's driving through the city tonight
Through the lights
In a hot new rent-a-car
He joins the lover in his heavy machine
It's a scene down on Sunset Boulevard

Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby

Johnny's taking care of things for a while
And his style is so right for troubadors
They got him sitting with his back to the door
Now he won't be my fast gun anymore

Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby

Moving on is a chance that you take everytime you try to stay together
Say a word out of line and you find that the friends you had are gone
Forever...forever
So many faces in and out of my life
Some will last, some will just be now and then
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again

Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye my baby

Moving on is a chance that you take everytime you try to stay together
Say a word out of line and you find that the friends you had are gone
Forever...forever
So many faces in and out of my life
Some will last, some will just be now and then
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again

O Rejoice, Ye Christians, Loudly


O Rejoice, Ye Christians, Loudly
Composer(s): Christian Keimann



Hallelujah

Oh rejoice, ye Christians, loudly
For your joy is now begun
Wondrous things our God hath done
Tell abroad His goodness proudly
Who our race hath honour'd thus
That he deigns to dwell with us

Joy, O joy, beyond all gladness
Christ hath done away with sadness
Hence, all sorrow and repining
For the Son of grace is shining

See, my soul, thy Saviour chooses
Weakness here and poverty
In such love He comes to thee
Nor the hardest couch refuses
All He suffers for thy good
To redeem thee by His blood

Joy, then, joy beyond all gladness
Christ hath done away with sadness
Hence, all sorrow and repining
For the Sun of grace is shining

Lord, how thall I thank Thee rightly
I acknowledge that from Thee
Every blessing flows to me
Let me not forget it lightly
But to Thee through all things cleave
So shall heart and mind receive

Joy, yea, joy beyond all gladness
Christ hath done away with sadness
Hence, all sorrow, all repining
For the Sun of grace is shining

Jesu, guard and guide Thy members
Fill Thy brethren with Thy grace
Hear their prayers in every place
Quicken now life's faintest embers
Grant all Christians, far and near
Holy peace, a glad New Year

Joy, O joy, beyond all gladness
Christ hath done away with sadness
Hence, all sorrow, all repining
For the Sun of grace is shining

Say a prayer for me tonight
I'll need every prayer that you can spare
To get me by

She's much too young to die

On to your Waterloo, whispers my heart
Pray I'll be Wellington, not Bonaparte

Oh, say a prayer for me this evening
Bow your head and please
Stay on your knees tonight

O Little Town Of Bethlehem


O Little Town Of Bethlehem
Composer(s): Phillips Brooks; Lewis H. Redner
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists



O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on earth

How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven
No ear may hear his coming
But in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive him, still
The dear Christ enters in

Where children pure and happy
Pray to the blessed Child
Where misery cries out to thee
Son of the mother mild
Where charity stands watching
And faith holds wide the door
The dark night wakes, the glory breaks
And Christmas comes once more

O holy Child of Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel!

Say "Si, Si"


Say "Si, Si"
(Spanish Version: Para Vigo Me Voy)
Composer(s): Ernesto Lecuona; Francia Luban; Al Stillman
and multiple other artists



In Spain they say "Si, Si"
In France you'll hear "Oui, Oui"
Ev'ry little Dutch girl says "Ya, Ya"
Ev'ry little Russian says "Da, Da"

But, Sweetheart, tell me why
No matter how I try
You won't listen to my plea
Won't say "Yes" in any language to me
When will you say "Si, Si"

"Si, Si", "Si, Si"
"Si, Si", "Si, Si"
Ev'ry little Dutch girl says "Ya, Ya", ya-ya-ya
Ev'ry little Russian says "Da, Da"

But, Sweetheart, oh, why won't you tell me why
No matter how m-m-much I try, please tell me why
La-la-la-la-da, won't listen to my plea
Won't say "Yes" on any language to me
Oh-woh, and when you say "Si, Si", say "Si, Si"

La la la la la la la da da da da
La da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da daaa

If you could only say "Si, Si", "Oui, Oui", "Ya, Ya", "Da, Da,"
Da da da la da
And all my life would be a song,
Nothing could go wrong, go wrong, go wrong

If you give in, I'll win
I won't give up, give up
Darling, if you give in
I must hear you say "Si, Si"

Oh, won't you listen to my plea
Please say "Yes" in any language to me
Won't you say "Si, Si", say "Si, Si"

O Holy Night


O Holy Night ((Adapted from: Minuit, Chrétiens - 1847 (aka Cantique De Noël)) Composer(s): Adolphe-Charles Adam; Placide Cappeau; John Sullivan Dwight Performer(s): Johnny Mathis - 1958 and multiple other artists



O holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming
Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friends
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!

Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother
And in his name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
With all our hearts we praise His holy name
Christ is the Lord!
Then ever, ever praise we
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!

Say, have you ever been down, wished you had just a fin?
Say, have you seen the ground, wonder where you've been?
Say, I betcha don't know, I can tell your kind

You ride a little, hide a little, close your eyes and sigh a little
Guard your mind and hide a little
Say, can'tcha hear me say?

Say, can you see the light bleedin' through the shade?

You're lookin' like you ought to be
You ride a little, hide a little, close your eyes and sigh a little
Guard your mind and hide a little

Savoy Truffle


Savoy Truffle
Composer(s): George Harrison
First release by: The Beatles - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists



Creme tangerine and montelimar
a ginger sling with a pineapple heart
a coffee dessert yes you know it's good news
But you'll have to have them all pull out
after the Savoy truffle

Cool cherry cream and a nice apple tart
I feel you taste all the time we're apart
Coconut fudge really blows down those blues
But you'll have to have them all pull out
after the Savoy truffle

You might not feel it now
but when the pain cuts through
you're gonna know and how
The sweat is gonna fill you head
when it becomes too much, you'll shout aloud

But you'll have to have them all pull out
after the Savoy truffle

You know that what you eat you are
but what is sweet now turns so sour
We all know ob-bla-di-bla-da
but can you show me where you are

Creme tangerine and montelimar
a ginger sling with a pineapple heart
a coffee dessert yes you know it's good news
But you'll have to have them all pull out
after the Savoy truffle
Yes, you'll have to have them all pull out
after the Savoy truffle

She's A Lady
((Adapted from: She's A Lady (by Tom Jones) - 1971))
Composer(s): Paul Anka; Jan De Vuyst
Performer(s): Doran - 1998



Ook al ben ik nog zo boos
Toch maakt zij me machteloos
Met haar ogen (met haar ogen)

Hoe ze 't doet ik weet het niet
Maar ze zingt het hoogste lied
Zonder woorden (zonder woorden)

She's a lady, wowowoh
She's a lady
Ik wil alleen that little lady
Ja, ze heeft me in haar macht

Heel de wereld draait om haar
Alles krijgt ze voor mekaar
Met haar schoonheid (met haar schoonheid)

Als we uitgaan, ik betaal
Ja, dat vindt ze heel normaal
Da's haar wereld (da's haar wereld)

She's a lady, wowowoh
She's a lady
Ik wil alleen that little lady
Ja, ze heeft me in haar macht

Ik bemin haar helemaal
Alles kan ze krijgen
Heel m'n ziel en heel m'n hart
Niets kan ik haar weigeren

En elke nacht sta ik klaar
'k Wil haar niet verliezen
Overal waarheen ze gaat
Wil ik met haar mee

She's a lady, wowowoh
She's a lady
Ik wil alleen that little lady
Ja, ze heeft me in haar macht

Wowowowoh
Wohoh

En gebeurt het dat ze schreeuwt
Dat ze met haar spullen gooit
'k Zal haar troosten

Als ze wil ik maak me klein
Is ze blij dan is er wijn
We zullen toasten

She's a lady, wowowoh
She's a lady
Ik wil alleen that little lady
Ja, ze heeft me in haar macht

She's a lady, wowowoh
She's a lady
Ik wil alleen that little lady
Ja, ze heeft me in haar macht
Yeahyeahyeah, she's a lady

Savoir Vivre


Savoir Vivre
Composer(s): Michel Berger
Performer(s): France Gall



C'est une fête, ce moment de rien du tout
Ces couleurs, cette pluie qui nous tombe dessus
Et toi qui souris
Juste parce que c'est toi
Juste parce que c'est moi
Parce que c'est la vie
C'est une fête d'être là
Loin des grands champs de bataille
Un détail
C'est l'amour qui remplace la haine
Et qui change tous nos problème
Et qui change tout
L'important c'est sans doute
De s'en rendre compte, et de

Savoir vivre, savoir vivre
Savoir maîtriser cet instant qui passe
Savoir mépriser le temps et l'espace
Savoir vivre, savoir vivre

Comme c'est bien cette musique
Qui nous fait tenir debout
Sur des fils électriques sur lesquels on danse
Et qui nous emmènent
Dans un monde meilleur
Et qu'elle passe, qu'elle s'efface
Qu'elle ne laisse rien du tout
Qu'est-ce que ça peut faire
Quelle affaire
Si demain tout est perdu
Du moment qu'on a vécu
Le secret c'est sans doute
De s'en rendre compte, et de

Savoir vivre, savoir vivre
Puisque le présent est déjà passé
Faire un pied de nez à l'éternité
Savoir vivre, savoir vivre
Se serrer très fort avant de se quitter
S'étreindre avant de s'éteindre
Savoir vivre, savoir vivre
Savoir vivre, savoir vivre
Oublier tout, tout, tout
Savoir vivre

I'm Saving Up For Sally


I'm Saving Up For Sally
Composer(s): Eric Maschwitz; George Posford
Performer(s): George Formby



I may be rather careful, a little slow to spend
Don't often push the boat out and I haven't cash to lend
It's not that I'm a meanie or spending comes amiss
I'll tell you confidentially folks the reason for it is

I'm saving up for Sally, I'm saving for a rainy day
I save what I can spare, a penny here and there
And just to keep us off the rocks I pop it in my money box
Oh! I'm not the lad to dally, of Sally I'm as proud as I can be
It's a lovely thing to be her beau but all the same I'd like to know
If Sally's saving up a bit for me

I haven't popped the question or asked her to be mine
But Sally's such a darling I'll have to draw the line
It may be any minute, I hope she'll say I will
But till I've plucked my courage up I'll keep on saving still

'Cause I'm saving up for Sally, I'm saving for a honeymoon
I've got to buy a ring, a mattress with a spring
There's one thing that I have to get, a nice new shiny bassinette
Oh! I'm not the lad to dally, of Sally I'm as proud as I can be
But before I go to that expense I'd like to know in self defence
If Sally's saving up a bit for me

I'm not the lad to dally, of Sally I'm as proud as I can be
It's a lovely thing to be her beau but all the same I'd like to know
If Sally's saving up a bit for me
