There's A Song In The Air
There's A Song In The Air
Composer(s): Josiah G. Holland; Karl P. Harrington
Performer(s): Cedarmont Kids;
and various other artists
There's a song in the air! There's a star in the sky!
There's a mother's deep prayer and a baby's low cry!
And the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing
For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!
There's a tumult of joy o'er the wonderful birth
For the virgin's sweet Boy is the Lord of the earth
Ay! the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing
For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!
In the light of that star lie the ages impearled
And that song from afar has swept over the world
Every hearth is aflame, and the beautiful sing
In the homes of the nations that Jesus is King!
We rejoice in the light, and we echo the song
That comes down through the night from the heavenly throng
Ay! we shout to the lovely evangel they bring
And we greet in His cradle our Saviour and King!

There's A New Kid In Town
Composer(s): Curly Putnam; Don Cook; Keith Whitley
Performer(s): George Strait
and multiple other artists
We're looking for the king
The new messiah
We're following the star
Shining brighter
Old man won't you help us if you can
He shook his head
But he pointed his hand
There's a new kid in town
And he's lying in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But he's just another baby I suppose
Heaven knows
There's a new kid in town
Here in Bethlehem
I see you've traveled far
Bearing treasures
You say these gifts are for
The new kings pleasure
I've heard that a king might come
But up till now there hasn't been
There's a new kid in town
And he's lying in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But he's just another baby I suppose
Heaven knows
There's a new kid in town
Here in Bethlehem
There's a new kid in town
And he's lying in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But he's just another baby I suppose
Heaven knows
There's a new kid in town
Here in Bethlehem

Show Biz Kids
Composer(s): Walter Carl Becker; Donald Jay Fagen
First release by: Steely Dan - 1973
While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night
After closing time
At the Guernsey Fair
I detect the El Supremo
From the room at the top of the stairs
Well I've been around the world
And I've been in the Washington Zoo
And in all my travels
As the facts unravel
I've found this to be true
While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night
They got the house on the corner
With the rug inside
They got the booze they need
All that money can buy
They got the shapely bods
They got the Steely Dan T-shirt
And for the coup-de-gras
They're outrageous
While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night
Show biz kids making movies
Of themselves you know they
Don't give a fuck about anybody else
While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night

Composer(s): Paul Francis; Johnny Robba
Performer(s): The Ames Brothers
There'll always be a Christmas
A Christmas there'll always be
There'll always be a Christmas
A Christmas for you and for me
Snowy snowflakes silently
Fall from Heaven above
While the folks sing their carols
With those who they love
When the sleighbells ging-a-ling
Blends with churchbells that ring
Then the whole world
Will join in and sing
There'll always be a Christmas
A Christmas there'll always be
There'll always be a Christmas
A Christmas for you and for me
Greet your neighbours
And your friends
Greet them at Christmas time
Let there be peace on earth
And good will t'ward mankind
Sing your Noels loud and clear
So the whole town can hear
It's the happiest time of the year
There'll always be a Christmas
A Christmas there'll always be
There'll always be a Christmas
A Christmas for you ... and ... for ... me

There Are No Lights On Our Christmas Tree
There Are No Lights On Our Christmas Tree
Performer(s): The Seekers
The time has come for festivity
For Christmas pudding and revelry
But as I passed a house the other night
I heard this little voice, so clear and bright
There are no lights on our Christmas tree
We must not spoil the tele-vee
No party games, no mistletoe
Just whistle "Wenceslas," and out you go
'Bout once a year I become a square
I love to feel the tinsel in my hair
I love to hear the songs of days gone by
But Dad and me, we don't see eye to eye
The Christmas crackers from Uncle Alf
They lie unopened upon the shelf
Dad has forbid them, but we're hoping he
Will think the bangs come from "N.Y.P.D."
There are no lights on our Christmas tree
We must not spoil the tele-vee
No party games, no mistletoe
Just whistle "Wenceslas," and out you go
Some carol singers came to our door
I've never seen Dad so mad before
He grabbed the leader by the coat
And tried to ram his lantern down his throat
When I grow up to be a man
There'll be no television in my plan
With laughter gay, my house will ring
I never want to hear my family sing…
There are no lights on our Christmas tree
We must not spoil the tele-vee
No party games, no mistletoe
Just whistle "Wenceslas," and out you go
There are no lights on our Christmas tree
We must not spoil the tele-vee
No party games, no mistletoe
Just whistle "Wenceslas," and out you go
No party games, no mistletoe
Just whistle "Wenceslas," and out you go

Performer(s): Mott The Hoople
There's trouble coming
I feel it deep in my bones
I can't avoid it, no way
Gotta face it, not gonna be long
It's got me shouting, pointing
panting, begging tonight
I need some people
To see me through it
Loving me right
Gonna pull some tarts together
Better dress them up in leather
Gonna find some kindred spirits
Gonna throw the searchlight in it
Want some volunteers!
You do and you do and you do
Get in to trouble
And maybe you do and you do and you do
Get in to luck
'cos I've been shouting, pointing, panting
And when it's done
We're gonna walk out smiling, laughing
Because we won!
Gonna pull ...
Watch out, they'll get ya
They're hiding under your nose
They'll try to dare you, scare you, snare you
Stand on your toes
'cos they'll be shouting, pointing, panting
And when it's done
We're gonna settle down a-loving, and a-howling
Because we won
Gonna pull ...

Open up your hearts to all on this holy day
The wonderful world of Christmas

The wonderful world of Christmas
Shall remain everyday in our hearts

Composer(s): Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller
First release by: The Coasters - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists
I plopped down in my easy chair and turned on Channel 2
A bad gunslinger called Salty Sam was chasin' poor Sweet Sue
He trapped her in the old sawmill and said with an evil laugh
"If you don't give me the deed to your ranch,
I'll saw you all in half!"
And then he grabbed her
And then -- he tied her up
And then -- he turned on the bandsaw
And then, and then...
And then along came Jones
Tall, thin Jones
Slow-walkin' Jones
Slow-talkin' Jones
Along came long-legged, lanky Jones
Commercial came on, so I got up to get myself a snack
You should've seen what was goin' on by the time that I got back
Down in the old, abandoned mine, Sweet Sue was a-havin' fits
That villain said, "Give me the deed to your ranch
or I'll blow you all to bits!"
And then he grabbed her
And then -- he tied her up
And then -- he lit the fuse to the dynamite
And then, and then...
And then along came Jones
Tall, thin Jones
Slow-walkin' Jones
Slow-talkin' Jones
Along came long-legged, lanky Jones
I got so bugged I turned it off and turned on another show
But there was the same old shoot-'em-up and the same old rodeo
Salty Sam was tryin' to stuff Sweet Sue in a burlap sack
He said, "If you don't give me the deed to your ranch,
I'm gonna throw you on the railroad tracks!"
And then he grabbed her
And then -- he tied her up
And then -- he threw her on the railroad tracks
And then -- a train started comin'
And then, and then...
And then along came Jones
Tall, thin Jones
Slow-walkin' Jones
Slow-talkin' Jones
