Performer(s): Lou Monte
and multiple other artists
Hey! Chingedy ching
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey
Chingedy ching,
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey
(la la la-la la-la la la la la)
(la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)
Santa's got a little friend
His name is Dominick
The cutest little donkey
You never see him kick
When Santa visits his paisons
With Dominick he'll be
Because the reindeer cannot
Climb the hills of Italy
Hey! Chingedy ching
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey
Chingedy ching
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey
(la la la-la la-la la la la la)
(la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)
Jingle bells around his feet
And presents on the sled
Hey! Look at the mayor's derby
On top of Dominick's head
A pair of shoes for Louie
And a dress for Josephine
The labels on the inside says
They're made in Brooklyn
Hey! Chingedy ching
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey
Chingedy ching
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey
(la la la-la la-la la la la la)
(la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)
Children sing, and clap their hands
And Dominick starts to dance
They talk Italian to him
And he even understands
Cumpare sing
Cumpare su
And dance 'sta tarantel
When jusamagora comes to town
And brings du ciuccianello
Hey! Chingedy ching
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey
Chingedy ching
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey
(la la la-la la-la la la la la)
(la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)
Hey! Dominick! Buon Natale!
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
(hee-haw, hee-haw)
(hee-haw, hee-haw)

It's So Hard
It's So Hard
Composer(s): John Lennon
Performer(s): John Lennon
You gotta live
You gotta love
You gotta be somebody
You gotta shove
But it's so hard, it's really hard
Sometimes I feel like going down
You gotta eat
You gotta drink
You gotta feel something
You gotta worry
But it's so hard, it's really hard
Sometimes I feel like going down
But when it's good
It's really good
And when I hold you in my arms baby
Sometimes I feel like going down
You gotta run
You gotta hide
You gotta keep your woman satisfied
But it's so hard, it's really hard
Sometimes I feel like going down

Do You Know It's Christmas?
Do You Know It's Christmas?
Composer(s): Paul Gentry - Rhesa Siregar - Larry Holder - Elton Smith
Do you feel a crispness in the air?
Autumn's past, yet something more is there
Do you know it's Christmas?
Can you feel it's Christmas?
The joyful, loving season we all share
Lights that line the street are dancing bright
Stirring special feelings with the sight
Do you know it's Christmas?
Can you feel it's Christmas?
The stars above are shining bright tonight
Oh, the winter's come to the meadow lands
As we're gazing out the windows of our home
Watching snowflakes fall in the starlit night
Reflecting all God's love that shines inside
We cherish every moment on this special day
This time's a gift from God
Let's share it with everyone along the way
Hear the church bells sound through the peaceful town
Awakening God's Spirit in each soul
As the children play on this Christmas Day
We are thankful for the joy we've come to know
Lights that line the street are dancing bright
Stirring special feelings with the sight
Do you know it's Christmas?
Can you feel it's Christmas?
The stars above are shining bright tonight
Do you know it's Christmas?
Can you feel it's Christmas?
The stars above are shining bright tonight
Tonight, tonight
Tonight

It's Raining Today
Composer(s): Scott Walker
First release by: Scott Walker - 1969
Covered by: Susanna & The Magical Orch. - 2006
It's raining today
and I'm just about to forget the train window girl
That wonderful day we met
She smiles through the smoke from my cigarette
It's raining today
But once there was summer and you
And dark little rooms
And sleep in late afternoons
Those moments descend on my windowpane
I've hung around here too long
Listenin' to the old landlady's hard-luck stories
You out of me me out of you
We go like lovers
To replace the empty space
Repeat our dreams to someone new
It's raining today
And I watch the cellophane streets
No hang-ups for me
'Cause hang-ups need company
The street corner girl's a cold trembling leaf
It's raining today
It's raining today

Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see?
'Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see?

Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing thru the sky, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song
High above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what I know?
A Child, a Child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Said the king to the people ev'rywhere
Listen to what I say!
Pray for peace, people ev'rywhere
Listen to what I say!
The Child, the Child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

Do They Know It's Christmas?
Do They Know It's Christmas?
Composer(s): Bob Geldof - Midge Ure
Performer(s): Band Aid
and multiple other artists
It's Christmastime; there's no need to be afraid
At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime
But say a prayer to pray for the other ones
At Christmastime
It's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Oh, where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
Here's to you, raise a glass for ev'ryone
Here's to them, underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again

Hi - Hi! We're your Weather Girls - Ah-huh -
And have we got news for you - You better listen!
Get ready, all you lonely girls
and leave those umbrellas at home - Alright!
Humidity is rising - Barometer's getting low
According to all sources, the street's the place to go
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah! - It's Raining Men! Amen!
I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet!
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It's Raining Men! Every Specimen!
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean
God bless Mother Nature, she's a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah! - It's Raining Men! Amen!
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It's Raining Men! Ame---------nnnn!
I feel stormy weather / Moving in about to begin
Hear the thunder / Don't you lose your head
Rip off the roof and stay in bed
God bless Mother Nature, she's a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do
She taught every angel to rearrange the sky
So that each and every woman could find her perfect guy
It's Raining Men! Yeah!
Humidity is rising - Barometer's getting low
According to all sources, the street's the place to go
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men

Ding-A-Ling The Christmas Bell
Ding-A-Ling The Christmas Bell
Performer(s): Lynn Anderson; Conway Twitty
Gather round and I will tell
The story of the Christmas bell
Who used to shine and shine and ring
And why they called him Ding-A-Ling
One of the famous jingle bells
Is what he was but then he fell
And broke his pretty harmony
And he began to ring off key
Now they call him Ding-A-Ling
Because he has a funny ring
And doesn't hit his note too well
Ding-A-Ling the Christmas bell
The other bells met secretly
And he heard one say in a real low key
He's sure to ruin our Christmas sound
And we don't want him hanging around
He overheard their secret vote
And walked away with a lump in his note
The saddest bell you've ever seen
The Christmas bell called Ding-A-Ling
They all call him Ding-A-Ling
Because he has a funny ring
And doesn't hit his note too well
Ding-A-Ling the Christmas bell
The snow was falling in the square
When the children found him there
And placed him on the Christmas tree
For everyone in town to see
As Christmas Eve came to the town
A blinding snow was coming down
And Ding-A-Ling heard someone say
Old Santa's sure to lose his way
The thought occurred to Ding-A-Ling
To ring as loud as he could ring
And when old Santa heard the sound
It guided him into the town
Now the children shout and sing
And everyone loves Ding-A-Ling
So everything has turned out well
For Ding-A-Ling the Christmas bell

It's rainin'
Been rainin' for a long, long time
I don't know when the sun is gonna shine
I'm stranded till the hurricane's through
But at least I know I'm stranded with you
The water is risin' in the town
Last report said more rain's comin' down
It's rainin'
The road is not no place to go
Too bad there ain't no late night show
Stranded till the hurricane's through
But at least I know I'm stranded with you
(Listen to the rain)
It's rainin'
Been rainin' for a long, long time
I don't know when the sun is gonna shine
I'm stranded till the hurricane's through
But at least I know I'm stranded with you
Stranded till the hurricane's through
But at least I know I'm stranded with you

Drip drop
Drip drop
Drip drop
Drip drop
It's raining so hard
Looks like it's gonna rain all night
And this is the time
I'd love to be holding you tight
But I guess I'll have to accept
The fact that you're not here
I wish the rain would hurry up
And end, my dear
It's raining so hard
It's really coming down
Sittin' by my window
Watching the rain fall to the ground
This is the time
I'd love to be holding you tight
But I guess I'll just go crazy tonight
It's raining so hard
It brings back memories
Of the time
That you were here with me
Counting every drop
About to lose my top
I wish the rain would hurry up and stop
I've got the blues so bad
I can hardly catch my breath
The harder it rains
The worse it gets
This is the time
I'd love to be holding you tight
But I guess I'll just go crazy tonight
Drip drop
Drip drop
Drip drop ...

It's Probably Me
It's Probably Me
Composer(s): Eric Clapton; Michael Kamen; Sting
Performer(s): Sting
and multiple other artists
If the night turned cold and the stars looked down
And you hug yourself on the cold, cold ground
You wake the morning in a stranger's coat
No one would you see
You ask yourself, who'd watch for me
My only friend, who could it be
It's hard to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me
When you belly's empty and the hunger's so real
And you're too proud to beg and too dumb to steal
You search the city for your only friend
No one would you see
You ask yourself, who'd watch for me
A solitary voice to speak out and set me free
I hate to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me
You're not the easiest person I ever got to know
And it's hard for us both to let our feelings show
Some would say I should let you go your way
You'll only make me cry
But if there's one guy, just one guy
Who'd lay down his life for you and die
I hate to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me
When the world's gone crazy and it makes no sense
There's only one voice that comes to your defence
The jury's out and your eyes search the room
And one friendly face is all you need to see
And if there's one guy, just one guy
Who'd lay down his life for you and die
I hate to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me
I hate to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me

Your baby doesn't love you anymore
Golden days before they end
Whisper secrets to the wind
Your baby won't be near you anymore
Tender nights before they fly
Send falling stars that seem to cry
Your baby doesn't want you anymore, it's over
It breaks your heart in two
To know she's been untrue
But, oh, what will you do?
When she says to you "There`s someone new"
"We're throu-oo-ough, we're through?"
It's over, it's over, it's over
All the rainbows in the sky
Start to weep then say goodbye
You won't be seeing rainbows anymore
Setting suns before they fall
Echo to you "That's all, that's all"
But you'll see lonely sunsets after all
It's over, it's over, it's over
It's over

Covered by multiple other artists
They say that you're a run-around lover
Though you say it isn't so
But if you put me down for another I'll know, believe me, I'll know
'Cause the night has a thousand eyes
And a thousand eyes can't help but see if you are true to me
So remember when you tell those little white lies
That the night has a thousand eyes
You say that you're at home when you phone me
And how much you really care
Though you keep telling me that you're lonely
I'll know if someone is there
'Cause the night has a thousand eyes
And a thousand eyes can't help but see if you are true to me
So remember when you tell those little white lies
That the night has a thousand eyes
One of these days you're gonna be sorry
'Cause your game I'm gonna play
And you'll find out without really trying
Each time that my kisses stray
'Cause the night has a thousand eyes
And a thousand eyes will see me too
And no matter what I do
I could never disguise all my little white lies
'Cause the night has a thousand eyes
So remember when you tell those little white lies
That the night has a thousand eyes
