Si j'avais un marteau
Je cognerais le jour
Je cognerais la nuit
J'y mettrais tout mon cœur
Je bâtirais une ferme
Une grange et une barrière
Et j'y mettrais mon père
Ma mère, mes frères et mes sœurs
Oh oh, ce serait le bonheur
Si j'avais une cloche
Je sonnerais le jour
Je sonnerais la nuit
J'y mettrais tout mon cœur,
Pour le travail à l'aube
Et le soir pour la soupe
J'appellerais mon père
Ma mère, mes frères et mes sœurs
Oh oh, ce serait le bonheur
Si j'avais une chanson
J'la chanterais le jour
J'la chanterais la nuit
J'y mettrais tout mon cœur
En retournant la terre
Pour alléger nos peines
J'la chanterais à mon père
Ma mère, mes frères et mes sœurs
Oh oh, ce serait le bonheur
Si j'avais un marteau
Et si j'avais une cloche
Puis si j'avais une chanson à chanter
Je serais le plus heureux
Je ne voudrais rien d'autre
Qu'un marteau, une cloche et une chanson
Pour l'amour de mon père
Ma mère, mes frères et mes sœurs
Oh oh, ce serait le bonheur
C'est le marteau du courage
C'est la cloche de la liberté
Mais la chanson c'est pour mon père
Ma mère, mes frères et mes sœurs
Oh oh, pour moi c'est le bonheur
C'est ça le vrai bonheur
Si j'avais un marteau
Si j'avais un marteau

We Three Kings
We Three Kings
Composer(s): John Hopkins Jr.
Performer(s): "Tennessee" Ernie Ford - 1958
and multiple other artists
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star
O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
Born a King on Bethlehem's plain
Gold I bring to crown him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign
O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising, all men raising
Worship Him, God on high
O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorr'wing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb
O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and Sacrifice
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Earth to heav'n replies
O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

Where The Blue And Lonely Go
Where The Blue And Lonely Go
Composer(s): Jimmy Warren; Alvaro Verissimo; Bill Silva; Charles Sagle
Performer(s): Roy Drusky; Dean Martin
Where the blue and lonely go
Where the music's loud and clear
It's the only place I know
Where the blue and lonely go
The street lights serve to light my way as I make my way downtown
To one of many nightspots I know where they're all found
Yes I'm back again to the lonely life a life that many know
Soon I'll be there with a glass of wine where the blue and lonely go
Where the blue and lonely go...
There was a time when I had love and I tried so to be free
From the life that I was used to it was just too hard for me
Now as I try to keep my heart from letting mem'ries show
I pretend that I'm so happy here where the blue and lonely go
Where the blue and lonely go...

We Need God For Christmas
We Need God For Christmas
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb; Alma Donaldson
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
Though Christmas is the time of year to be happy and gay
Many hearts will be sad this Christmas Day
For loved ones who are far away across the deep blue sea
Loved ones who belong to you and me
Let’s go to church this Christmas, get on our knees and pray
For God too protect us and the good old U.S.A.
Let’s do our part with all our hearts this Christmas next year
No empty chair will sadden Christmas cheer
We Need God For Christmas and all the whole year too
If we believe He’ll surely see us through
His precious love, His mighty hand, will help us one and all
Let’s turn to God before our country falls
Let’s go to church this Christmas, get on our knees and pray
For God too protect us and the good old U.S.A.
Let’s do our part with all our hearts, then Christmas next year
No empty chair will sadden Christmas cheer

Si J'avais Des Millions
Si J'avais Des Millions
(Adapted from: If I Were A Rich Man - 1964)
Composer(s): Jerry Bock; Sheldon M. Harnick; Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Dalida - 1968
Si j'avais des millions
Tchiribiribiribiribiribiriboum
Tout le jour à Bidibidiboum
Ah! si j'étais cousu d'or
Je travaillerais moins fort
Tchiribiribiribiribiribiriboum
Si j'avais quelques mini-millions
Tchiribiribiribiriboum
Je bâtirais en pleine ville une maison haute
Avec des chambres sans compter
Avec un toit de tuiles et des vrais parquets
Un escalier fait pour monter
L'autre pour descendre un troisième encore
Rien que pour agrémenter le décor
Je me vois d'ici très à l'aise en femme de riche
Essayant de tendre le cou
Relevant un menton qu'empèse, un poids de bijoux
Goûtant les plats surveillant tout
Houspillant les bonnes
Fière comme un paon
Dirigeant la maison tambour battant
Ha!
Si j'avais des millions
Tchiribiribiribiribiribiriboum
Tout le jour à Bidibidiboum
Ah si j'étais cousu d'or
Aïe! Aïe! Aïe!
Je travaillerais moins fort
Tchiribiribiribiribiribiriboum
Dieu Puissant toi qui es éternel
Tu pourrais faire un petit effort
Ça changerait quoi du haut du ciel
Qu'enfin je sois cousu d'or

We Need A Little Christmas
We Need A Little Christmas
Composer(s): Jerry Herman
Performer(s): Julius LaRosa - 1966
Haul out the holly
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again
Fill up the stocking
I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now
For we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute
Candles in the window
Carols at the spinet
Yes, we need a little Christmas
Right this very minute
It hasn't snowed a single flurry
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry!
So climb down the chimney
Turn on the brightest string of light I've ever seen
Slice up the fruitcake
It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough
For I've grown a little leaner
Grown a little colder
Grown a little sadder
Grown a little older
And I need a little angel
Sitting on my shoulder
Need a little Christmas now!
For we need a little music
Need a little laughter
Need a little singing
Ringing through the rafter
And we need a little snappy
"Happy ever after"
Need a little Christmas now!

Wish I Was In Nashville
Wish I Was In Nashville
Composer(s): Bob McDill
Performer(s): Don Williams; Mel McDaniel
I went to see my honeydew, she lived just down the way
I got stuck and the truck froze up and I only got half way
Sittin’ here on the muddy road, stuck here all alone
The rain won’t stop it’s a beatin’ on the top and I should have stayed at home
I wish I was in Nashville, guitar on my back
Maybe someday I will ride in the back of a big Cadillac
Must have been a half a day, before I got back home
The roads all mud the creeks gonna flood and I’m here all alone
Sure feels good a gettin’ back to my old shack again
But I’m all soaked and the radios broke and the rain keeps pouring in.
I wish I was in Nashville, guitar on my back
Maybe someday I will ride in the back of a big Cadillac
I wish I was in Nashville, guitar on my back
Maybe someday I will ride in the back of a big Cadillac

We Are The Shepherds
We Are The Shepherds
Composer(s): John R. Cash
Performer(s): Johnny Cash
So here is the stable and there is the manger
The new Saviour sleeps on his first earthly night
The wise men brought riches, but we brought a candle
It's all that we have but it gives a good light
We are the shepherds, we walked cross the mountains
We left our flocks when the new star appeared
Oh, the beautiful singing of heavenly choir
We had to come see him, we had to come here
We beg you forgive us for such a small offering
But our sheep are out there with wolves in the night
We bring you this candle it's all we have with us
But with it the new Saviour has his first light
We are the shepherds, we walked cross the mountains
We left our flocks when the new star appeared
Oh, the beautiful singing of heavenly choir
We had to come see him, we had to come here
We thank thee kind Joseph for bidding us enter
Please take our gift for the new babe of thine
'Tis only one candle but it is our symbol
Of how we believe that his great life will shine
We are the shepherds, we walked cross the mountains
We left our flocks when the new star appeared
Oh, the beautiful singing of heavenly choir
We had to come see him, we had to come here

Si Jamais
Si Jamais
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Si jamais en un jour de cafard
Il te prenait soudain l'envie de me revoir
Si jamais le regret te prend la main
Suis-le n'hésite pas s'il te conduit vers moi
Moi j'oublierais
Le mal que tu m'as fait
Je me tairais
Pourvu que tu reviennes
Si jamais
Si jamais
Tu pouvais comprendre
Si jamais
Que je reste à t'attendre
Si jamais
Viens-tu serais ma reine
Si dans le souvenir de mes caresses
Tu trouvais la tendresse qui te manque aujourd'hui
N'oublie pas qu'au bout d'une rue déserte
Ma porte te reste ouverte viens chasser mon ennuie
Moi j'oublierais
Le mal que tu m'as fait
Je me tairais
Pourvu que tu reviennes
Si jamais
Si jamais
Tu pouvais comprendre
Si jamais
Que je reste à t'attendre
Si jamais
Viens-tu serais ma reine
Si jamais
Si jamais
La, la, la, la, la
Si jamais
Si jamais
La, la, la, la, la

Ho ho ho
Ho ho ho
We are Santa's elves
We are Santa's elves
Filling Santa's shelves

But our work is play
Dolls we try out

We are Santa's elves
We've a special job each year
We don't like to brag
Christmas Eve we always
Fill Santa's bag
Santa knows who's good
Do the things you should
And we bet you
He won't forget you
We are Santa's elves
Ho ho ho
Ho ho ho
We are Santa's elves
Ho Ho!

Woman You Should Be In Movies
Woman You Should Be In Movies
Composer(s): Buddy Cannon
Performer(s): Don Williams
You said I was all you ever needed
It was me that kept your spirits high
Well you're the only one who ever fooled me
You broke my heart without me knowin' why
Woman you should be in movies
Actin' out some all important parts
Woman you should be in movies
Instead of breakin' real people's hearts
Love felt so alive when I was with you
Inside me you made a place feel warm
But you should win a prize for where you put me
'Cause it appears another loser's born
Woman you should be in movies
Actin' out some all important parts
Woman you should be in movies
Instead of breakin' real people's hearts

The Way In A Manger
The Way In A Manger
Composer(s): Paul Brandt
Performer(s): Paul Brandt
We were alone in the fields with our sheep
A star in the sky glowing bright in the east
When an angelic choir singin' "All glory be
To God in the highest", bade us come see
They said, the way in a manger is a babe fast asleep
He's never a stranger to wise men who seek
The light and the hope for all of mankind
He's the way in the manger and He's easy to find
Mary and Joseph were there when we came
And all that the angels had said was the same
And when I saw the baby I knew just what to do
I bowed down to worship the light and the truth
The way in a manger is a babe fast asleep
He's never a stranger to wise men who seek
The light and the hope for all of mankind
He's the way in the manger and He's easy to find
The light and the hope for all of mankind
He's the way in a manger and He's easy to find

Si Ha De Ser Así
Si Ha De Ser Así
Performer(s): Raphael
Dicen mis amigos que de ti no me he de fiar
Eres caprichosa y tu amor no durará
Me dicen que soy tonto porque creo en tu querer
Más no le hago caso y tu cariño he de tener
Me conformaré que después me dejes tú
Mira, si ha de ser así
Si yo sufro por tu culpa y me duele el corazón
Yo tendré mi recompensa en los momentos de ilusión
Y si algún día me abandonas de mis sueños escribiré
Con mis recuerdos
Más que yo soy tuyo para siempre, acaso sepas comprender
Porque yo te necesito y tu cariño he de tener
Me conformaré que después me dejes tú
¡Ay! mira, si ha de ser así
Si yo sufro por tu culpa y me duele el corazón
Yo tendré mi recompensa en los momentos de ilusión
Y si algún día me abandonas de mis sueños viviré
Con mis recuerdos
Más que yo soy tuyo para siempre, acaso sepas comprender
Porque yo te necesito y tu cariño he de tener
Me conformaré que después me dejes tú
¡Ay! mira, si ha de ser así
Me conformaré que después me dejes tú
¡Ay! mira, si ha de ser así

Watchman, Tell Us Of The Night
Watchman, Tell Us Of The Night
Composer(s): Lowell Mason
Performer(s): Deborah Henson-Conant
Watchman, tell us of the night
What its signs of promise are
Traveler, o'er yon mountain's height
See that glory-beaming star
Watchman, does its beauteous ray
Aught of joy or hope foretell
Traveler, yes; it brings the day
Promised day of Israel
Watchman, tell us of the night
Higher yet that star ascends
Traveler, blessedness and light
Peace and truth, its course portends
Watchman, will its beams alone
Gild the spot that gave them birth
Traveler, ages are its own
See, it bursts o'er all the Earth
Watchman, tell us of the night
For the morning seems to dawn
Traveler, darkness takes its flight
Doubt and terror are withdrawn
Watchman, let thy wanderings cease
Hie thee to thy quiet home
Traveler, lo, the Prince of Peace
Lo, the Son of God is come

Holding you years from now
Wanting you years from now
Loving you years from now

As long as you show me that you care
As long as you show me that you care
