When I was but a youngster, Christmas meant one thing
That I'd be getting lots of toys that day
I learned a whole lot diff'rent when Mother sat me down
And taught me to spell Christmas this way
"C" is for the Christ Child born upon this day
"H" for herald angels in the night
"R" means our Redeemer
"I" means Israel
"S" is for the star that shone so bright
"T" is for the tree wise men
They who travelled far
"M" is for the manger where He lay
"A" is for all He stands for
"S" means shepherds came
And that's why there's a Christmas Day

It's A Musical World
It's A Musical World
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse; Anthony Newley
Performer(s): Anthony Newley; Petula Clark; Sammy Davis Jr.
The world is made of music
Never any symphony
The sound surrounds
Miracles of melody
Are bound around us too
It's a musical world
Such a musical world
Listen to the rhythm
Of a storm in summer
Hear the mellow melody
When church bells chime
"Once upon a time"
It's a musical world
Such a beautiful world
Ding, dong, sing a song of spring and summer
Bring some summer song and opera new
I love music, and I know that you do too
It's a musical world
Such a beautiful world
Yeah...
The world was made for music
Everything contributes to the rare concerto
Elephants and butterflies have their concertos too
It's a beautiful world
It's a musical world
Listen to the music of a lonely seashore
Hear a certain company to speak up for
Make it have an orchestra where every sound belongs
It's a musical world
Such a beautiful world
Ding, dong, sing a song of spring and summer
Sing some summer song and opera new
I love music, and I know that you do too
Yeah...
It's a musical world
[Fade to End]
I love music, and I know that you to too
Yeah...
It's a musical world
Such a beautiful world

That's The Way It Goes
That's The Way It Goes
Composer(s): Sidney Robin - Alec Wilder
Performer(s): Peggy Lee
That's the way it goes
No one ever knows
Just like that, it only took a minute
And I belong to you
You can never tell
That's how fast I fell
I just thought that there was nothing in it
But that is far from true
Now I thought that I was clever
You couldn't take me by surprise
But I found I'd be in love forever
The moment I looked in your eyes
That's the way it goes
No one ever knows
Here's my heart and you deserve to win it
For that's the way it goes

It's A Most Unusual Play
It's A Most Unusual Play
Composer(s): Harold Adamson; Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Allan Sherman
It's a most unusual play
Feel like throwing my tickets away
'Cause the boy gets the boy
And the girl gets the girl
And it's way too far off Broadway
It's a most unusual plot
Which I've either blocked out or forgot
I don't know what it means
But they all wear blue jeans
And they scratch themselves quite a lot
There's no scenery, there's no lighting
There's no costumes; oh, what art!
If there only were no house lights
I would sneak up the aisle and depart
There's a most unusual scene
Where this man dates this Xerox machine
So his girlfriend gets mad
And she murders the cad
To the tune of "Begin the Beguine"
In this most unusual, most unusual, most unusual play
Oh, the language is a bit loose
It's decidedly not Mother Goose
Outside on the marquee
This quotation you'll see
"I was shocked!" and it's signed Lenny Bruce
It's a play where something went wrong
'Cause it's five hours, twelve minutes long
If you sit there, my friend
From beginning to end
Then your bladder better be strong
There are people hitting people
There's a couple in a cage
There's neurotics, there's narcotics
And the bathroom is right on the stage!
It's a great big critical smash
And it's raking in all kinds of cash
But the theater's appalling
With things that are crawling
I think I am getting a rash
From this most unusual, most unusual, most unusual play

It's A Most Unusual Day
It's A Most Unusual Day
Composer(s): Harold Adamson; Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Jane Powell
and multiple other artists
It's a most unusual day
Feel like throwing my worries away
As an old native-born Californian would say
It's a most unusual day
There's a most unusual sky
Not a sign of a cloud passing by
And if I want to sing, throw my heart in the ring
It's a most unusual day
There are people meeting people
There is sunshine everywhere
There are people greeting people
And a feeling of Spring in the air
It's a most unusual time
I keep feeling my temperature climb
If my heart won't behave in the usual way
Well, there's only one thing to say
It's a most unusual day
There are people meeting people
There is sunshine everywhere
There are people greeting people
And a feeling of Spring in the air
I keep feeling my temperature climb, climb, climb, climb, climb, climb, climb
Till there is only one thing to say
It's a most, most, most, most, most unusual, most unusual
Most unusual day
Most unusual day

The Greatest Gift Of All
The Greatest Gift Of All
Composer(s): John Barlow Jarvis
Performer(s): Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers;
and various other artists
Kenny:
Dawn is slowly breaking, our friends have all gone home
You and I are waiting for Santa Claus to come
There's a present by the tree, stockings on the wall
Knowing you're in love with me is the greatest gift of all
Dolly:
The fire is slowly fading, chill is in the air
All the gifts are waiting for children everywhere
Through the window I can see snow begin to fall
Knowing you're in love with me is the greatest gift of all
Both:
Just before I go to sleep, I hear a church bell ring
Merry Christmas everyone is the song it sings
So I say a silent prayer for creatures great and small
Peace on earth, good will to men is the greatest gift of all
Peace on earth, good will to men is the greatest gift of all

1966 - Mondo Di Uomini
1967 - Se Mi Vuoi Sempre Bene
This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
You see, mn made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry heavy loads
Man made electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark
This is a man's, a man's, a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
Man thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys
Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man has made everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other man
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
He's lost in the world of man
He's lost in bitterness

Composer(s): Felix Mendelssohn - Charles Wesley
Performer(s): The Bishops
Christ, by highest heaven adored
Christ, the everlasting Lord
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of a virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail th' Incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Come, Desire of nations come
Fix in us Thy humble home
Rise, the Woman's conquering Seed
Bruise in us the Serpent's head
Adam's likeness, Lord efface
Stamp Thy image in its place
Second Adam, from above
Reinstate us in thy love
Hail, the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail, the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth

Se mi vuoi sempre bene
Se tu mi vuoi sempre bene
Non mi devi lasciar
Oh no
Ho bisogno di te
Anche se trovi
Che sono piu' silenzioso
E se non ti guardo piu'
Come ti guardavo prima
Anche se qualche volta
Ti pare quasi di odiarmi
E se ti stanco solo
Stando vicino a te
Se mi vuoi bene bene bene
Oh no
Non mi devi lasciar
Ho bisogno di te...
Anche se tu pensi
Che per nulla
Ho buttato via
Per fare un po' di musica
La tua vita e la mia
Anche quando l'eta'
Avra' tutto cambiato
E anche quando saprai
Che niente serve a niente
Se mi vuoi bene
Bene bene bene
Non mi devi lasciar
Ho bisogno di te
Oh no
Ti voglio bene sai...

Dis, si tu m'aimes encore
Dis, si tu m'aimes encore
Ne me laisse jamais
jamais tout seul, je t'aime trop!
Même si tu crois qu'on n'a plus rien à se dire
Et même si le temps passé a fait passer notre désir
Même si tu te rends compte que tu me hais parfois
Même si je te fatigue, simplement parce que je suis là
Dis si tu m'aimes, m'aimes, m'aimes encore
Ne me laisse jamais, non jamais tout seul
Je t'aime trop!
Même si tu penses que j'ai détruit de mes mains
Ma vie pour ma musique et la tienne pour rien
Même quand l'hiver de l'âge aura flétri nos corps
Et même lorsque tu sauras que rien ne sert à rien
Dis, si tu m'aimes encore
Ne me laisse jamais, non jamais, tout seul
Je t'aime trop!
Je t'aime, dis mon pauvre amour
Je t'aime et ne sais pas le dire
Je t'aime {ad lib}

That's Old Fashioned (That's The Way Love Should Be)
That's Old Fashioned (That's The Way Love Should Be)
Composer(s): Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florence Kaye
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers
We hold hands in the movie show
So they say that we’re old fashioned
Or we stroll beneath the silv’ry moon, oo-oo-oo-oon
And we carve our initials in the old oak tree
That’s old fashioned, that’s the way love should be
We enjoy sitting side by side
In the booth in the ice cream parlor
Where we play the nickelodeon, ah-ah-ah-ahn
And we dance when we hear our favorite melody
That’s old fashioned, that’s the way love should be
It’s a modern changing world
Everything is moving fast
But when it comes to love I like
What they did in the past
I’m the kind who loves only one
So the boys say I’m old fashioned
Let them laugh, honey I don’t mi-i-i-i-ind
I’ve made plans for a wedding day for you and me
That’s old fashioned, that’s the way love should be

Composer(s): John L. Crainer; T-Bone Walker
Performer(s): T-Bone Walker
It's great to be rich and a doggone shame to be poor
It's great to be rich and a doggone shame to be poor

I tried to please her but it only made her mad
I tried to please her but it only made her mad
She done strip me and took everything I had
Now what you gonna do with a woman like that?
Now what you gonna do with a woman like that?
Who takes all your money yes and leaves you flat?
Yes it's great to be rich and a doggone shame to be poor
It's a lowdown dirty deal when your woman don't want you no more
Now it was money in the morning, and money every night
If I didn't have no money, she was ready to fight
It's great to be rich and a doggone shame to be poor
It's a lowdown dirty deal when your woman don't want you no more

Chrissy, The Christmas Mouse
Chrissy, The Christmas Mouse
Composer(s): Louis S. Filardi
Performer(s): Donald O'Connor
All of Santa's reindeer pull his sleigh
And that's their claim to fame
But in Santa's house, there lives a little mouse
And Chrissy is her name
Oh Chrissy, the Christmas mouse
Lives in the middle of Santa's house
And all day long she would romp and play
And help Santa load his Christmas sleigh
Now the story goes that Chrissy's nose
Was also big and bright
But we all know she did not go
On that famous ride that night
Christmas day found her sad and blue
And Santa said, "What's wrong with you?"
She said, "I'm here all alone each day
While you're out riding in your Christmas sleigh"
Oh Chrissy, the Christmas mouse
Lives in the middle of Santa's house
And all day long she would romp and play
And help Santa load his Christmas sleigh
Now every day she would beg and plead
With Santa and his wife
"Oh Santa, Santa", Chrissy said
"Please let me ride upon your Christmas sled"
And Santa said to Mrs. Claus
"Did Chrissy finish all her chores?"
"She cleaned her room, and made her bed
Please let her ride in your Christmas sled"
Oh Chrissy, the Christmas mouse
Lives in the middle of Santa's house
And all day long she would romp and play
And help Santa load his Christmas sleigh
Now on Christmas eve when the moon is high
And the children are all in bed
Just look above and see our love
Riding in Santa's sled
Oh Chrissy, the Christmas mouse
Lives in the middle of Santa's house
She's so happy on Christmas day
Because she rides on Santa's sleigh
"Merry Christmas everybody!"
"Merry Christmas!"
"Yeah!"
