It's You, Only You


It's You, Only You
Composer(s): Ferdinand Bakker; Ake Danielson; Hugo Sinzheimer; Job Tarenskeen; John Vee; Erik de Zwaan
First release by: The Meteors - 1979



Let's say goodbye to our friends of the night (ni, ni, ni)
There's nothing for us here
Always been longing for a moment like this (oh, oh, oh)
Don't want to waste it here
Isn't it strange how sure you can be when you find the one you want
Isn't it strange how crazy you go when you finally won the one that you want
A moment like this (oh, oh, oh)
Maybe baby, we can make it

It's You, It's You, Only You
Well, I know what I want and I'm sure I can get it
But It's You, It's You, Only You
Well, I know what I want and I'm sure I can get it

I'm loosing my heart for you
And I'm prepared to lose my life
Ermmmm, Mein Schmertz
Maybe, we can make it
Maybe, maybe, we can make it

It's You, It's You, Only You
Well, I know what I want and I'm sure I can get it
But It's You, It's You, Only You
Well, I know what I want and I'm sure I can get it

It's You, It's You, Only You
It's You, It's You, Only You
But It's You, It's You, Only You
Well, I know what I want and I'm sure I can get it
It's You, It's You Mein Schmertz ...

It's You Or No One


It's You Or No One
Composer(s): Jule Styne; Sammy Cahn
First performance by: Doris Day - 1948
Covered by multiple other artists



How did I know know that the warmth of the glow would last
And how did I guess that the long loneliness was past?
I merely looked at you, and I knew, then and there I knew

It's you or no one for me
I'm sure of this each time we kiss
Now and forever and when forever's done
You'll find that you are still the one

So please don't say "no" to my plea
'Cause if you do, then I'm all through
There's this about you: my world's an empty world without you
It's you or no one for me

It's a matter of now and forever, when forever is all done
You'll find that you are still the one
So please don't say "no" to my plea
'Cause if you do, then I'm all through

There's this about you: my world's an empty world without you
It's you or no one for me

Feels Like Christmas


Feels Like Christmas
Composer(s): Eric Bazilian; Rob Hyman; Cyndi Lauper
Performer(s): Cyndi Lauper



If you want to see me
Don't break down and cry
I can be your sweetie
If you be a friend of mine
And I won't be forsaken
If you think thoughts unkind
Just bring home the bacon
And bring it home on time

Hey Louie, can't you see
I couldn't leave you if I tried
Hey Louie, listen to me
We got a thing so dignified
It don't matter if we lived in a shack
Or in a shiny cadillac
It don't matter rich or poor
When love is knocking at your door

It feels like Christmas
Just like Christmas
It feels like Christmas with you...

Hey Louie, life is sweet
I can't be bitter
When you're here with me
Hey Louie, no regrets
Holding on to things
That you ought to forget
Well, it doesn't matter tit for tat
'Cause what you give
You get it back
It don't matter anymore
When love is knocking at your door

It feels like Christmas
Just like Christmas
It feels like Christmas with you
Everytime I see ya
Everytime I hear ya
Everytime I'm near ya
I'd be happy
Because it feels like Christmas
Just like Christmas
It feels like Christmas
With you...

Father Christmas Is Coming


Father Christmas Is Coming
Performer(s): Ricky Nash; Bob Ashmore



Look out here he comes
Father Christmas is on the run
If you see him you'll have some fun
Father Christmas is coming to everyone

[chorus]
And he's bringing chocolates
Milk chocolate candy
Ribbons tied up in bows
Little boxes that shine an sparkle
Boy how those chocolates make your taste buds grow

He lives in a land where there are chocolate trees
And all the leaves are jelly babies
The rivers and lakes are lemonade
And all the houses are made of ginger nut cake

[chorus]

You know I love you, want you to love me too
let's get together, like old folks used to do

Father Christmas (The Kinks)


Father Christmas Composer(s): Ray Davies First release by: The Kinks - 1977 Covered by multiple other artists



When I was small I believed in Santa Claus
Though I knew it was my dad
And I would hang up my stocking at Christmas
Open my presents and I'd be glad

But the last time I played Father Christmas
I stood outside a department store
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
And knocked my reindeer to the floor

They said
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Don't give my brother a Steve Austin outfit
Don't give my sister a cuddly toy
We don't want a jigsaw or monopoly money
We only want the real McCoy

Father Christmas, give us some money
We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys

But give my daddy a job 'cause he needs one
He's got lots of mouths to feed
But if you've got one, I'll have a machine gun
So I can scare all the kids down the street

Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Have yourself a merry merry Christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothin'
While you're drinkin' down your wine

Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
Father Christmas, please hand it over
We'll beat you up, so don't make us annoyed

Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread, so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Father Christmas


Father Christmas
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse



Father Christmas
Father Christmas
He’s the meanest man in the whole wide world
In the whole wide world, you can feel it
He’s a miser
He’s a skinflint
He’s a stingy lout
Leave your stocking out
For your Christmas gift and he’ll steal it
It’s a shame
He’s a villain
What a game
For a villain to play on Christmas day
Father Christmas
Father Christmas
Will be just as mean
As he’s ever been
And I’m here to say
We should all send Father Christmas
On his merry Christmas way

Father Christmas
Father Christmas
He’s the rottenest man in the universe
And there’s no one worse, you can tell it
He’s a rascal
He’s a bandit
He’s a crafty one
Leave your door undone
He’ll move in your house and sell it
It’s a crime
It’s a scandal
What a game
For a vandal to play on Christmas day
If you distrust
Father Christmas
It’s as well to know
That I told you so
‘Cause I’m here to say
We should all send Father Christmas
Father Christmas, Father Christmas
Father Christmas, Father Christmas
On his merry Christmas way

Reprise
Father Christmas
Father Christmas
He’s the greatest man in the whole wide world
In the whole wide world and he knows it
Every Christmas
Father Christmas
Puts a great big sack
On his dear old back
‘Cause he loves us all
And he shows it
And he goes for a sleighride
In the snow and he may ride all night
And that’s all right
In the morning
Christmas morning
If you lift your eyes
There’s a big surprise
Underneath the tree
It’s a gift from Father Christmas
From Father Christmas
That’s how Christmas will appear

It's Wonderful


It's Wonderful
Composer(s): Mitchell Parish; Stuff Smith; Robert Wells
Performer(s): Benny Goodman
and multiple other artists



It's wonderful to look into your eyes
And realise you care a little bit
It's wonderful to know that you love me

It's glorious to feel that I'm a part of you sweetheart
To share your happiness
It's marvelous how lovely love can be

Who dreamed that I'd be allowed
Through the doorway of heaven
I'm drifting high on a cloud
You're an angel and this is heaven

It's wonderful to have your lips divine combined with mine
And dream forever more
It's wonderful to know that you love me

Who dreamed that I'd be allowed
Through the doorway of heaven
I'm drifting high, high on a cloud
You're an angel and this is heaven

Oh, it's wonderful to have your lips divine combined with mine
And dream forever more
It's wonderful to know that you love me

It's glorious
It's marvelous
Oh, Darlin', it's wonderful

Far, Far Away On Judea's Plains
Composer(s): John Menzies MacFarlane



Far, far away on Judea's plains
Shepherds of old
heard the joyous strains
Glory to God, Glory to God
Glory to God in the highest
Peace on earth
good-will to men
Peace on earth
good-will to men!

Sweet are these strains
of redeeming love
Message of mercy from heaven above
Glory to God, Glory to God
Glory to God in the highest
Peace on earth
good-will to men
Peace on earth

Lord, with the angels
we too would rejoice
Help us to sing with
the heart and voice
Glory to God, Glory to God
Glory to God in the highest
Peace on earth
good-will to men
Peace on earth
good-will to men!

Hasten the time when
from every clime
Men shall unite
in the strains sublime
Glory to God, Glory to God
Glory to God in the highest
Peace on earth
good-will to men
Peace on earth
good-will to men!

It's Too Soon To Know


It’s Too Soon To Know
Composer(s): Chessler
Performer(s): Pat Boone



Does she love me? It’s too soon to know
Can I believe her when she tells me so?
Is she fooling? Is it all a game?
Am I the fire or just another flame?
A one-sided love would break my heart
She may be just acting and playing a part

If she won’t love me, let her tell me so
I can’t hold her if she wants to go
Though I’ll cry when she’s gone
I won’t die – I’ll live on
If it’s so, it’s too soon, way to soon, to know

If she won’t love me, let her tell me so
I can’t hold her if she wants to go
Though I’ll cry when she’s gone
I won’t die – I’ll live on
If it’s so, it’s too soon, way to soon, to know

Fall Softly Snow


Fall Softly Snow
Composer(s): Jean Surrey
Performer(s): Jim Ed Brown & Helen Cornelius



Fall softly snow
Blanket everything with purest white
Fall softly snow
Everything is holy here tonight
Shepherd boy upon the hill
Bid your flock be very still
Fall softly snow
A child is born tonight

Shine brightly star
Wisemen bringing gifts come from afar
Oh Holy light, brightest of them all, the Eastern Star
Herald angels from on high
Sing a tender lullaby
Fall softly snow
A child is born tonight

The time is here
Oh Holy Night, the angels sing
And from on high, heavenly hosts proclaim the King
In the manger by her side
Mary's eyes are filled with pride
Fall softly snow
Fall softly snow

The Christ child has just arrived
..... Silent night

It's Too Late
Composer(s): Chuck Willis
First release by: Chuck Willis - 1956
Covered by multiple other artists



It's too late, she's gone
(Too late, too late)
It's too late, my baby's gone
(Too late, too late
Doo-wop!)
Wish I had told her she was my only one
Lord, it's too late, she's gone

It's a weak man that cries
(Ooo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo)
So, I guess I better dry my eyes
(Ooo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo
Doo-wop!)
Yes, I will miss her more than anyone
Lord, it's too late, she's gone
(Too late)

She's gone, oh, she's gone
She's gone, my baby's gone
She's gone, yes, she's gone
Where can my baby be?

I wonder does she know
(Too late, too late)
When she left me, it hurt me so?
(Too late, too late
Doo-wop!)
I need your lovin'
Please don't make me wait
And tell me it's not too late

I need your lovin'
Please don't make me wait
And tell me it's not too late
(It's not too late)

Fairytale Of New York


Fairytale Of New York Composer(s): Shane MacGowan; Jem Finer First release by: The Pogues - 1988 Covered by multiple other artists Titles In Other Languages: 1996 - Weihnachtsnaach 2003 - Nieuwjaar In Brussel



It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
And I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They've got cars
Big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old

When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on the corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing 'Galway Bay'
And the bells were ringing
Out for Christmas day

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Living there almost dead on a drip
In that bed

You scum bag
You maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God
It's our last

I could have been someone
So could anyone
You took my dreams
From me when I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

It's Too Late (Carole King)


It's Too Late
Composer(s): Carole King; Toni Stern
First release by: Carole King - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing, or maybe we've stopped trying

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late

Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late

Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide

And I just can't fake it

There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you

But it's too late, baby, it's too late

Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

Everybody Knows The Claus


Everybody Knows The Claus
Composer(s): Isaac Hanson
Performer(s): Hanson



Don't you smell the cookies he's bakin
Can't you see that belly, it's shakin'
Don't you take a cookie off that pan
You don't want to mess with this man

You've never seen this side of him before
You know he wont be knockin' at your door

Here comes Santa Claus
Doin' all those good things
Everybody knows the Claus
Here come Santa Claus
You know he's a big man
Don't mess with the boss

Ask Rudolph and he won't steer you wrong
Now, Santa wasn't this fat all along
Until he started cookin' one day
Now don't take that turkey away

You've never seen this side of him before
You know he won't be knockin' at your door

Here comes Santa Claus
Doin' all those good things
Everybody knows the Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
You know he's a big man
Don't mess with the boss

Ridin' down the air highway in his sleigh
Bringing all the presents for the next day
Don't forget the donuts

His cookies and his milk are his pride
Or anything that can be deep fried
Don't get me wrong now he's a nice guy
But you don't want to get on his bad side

You've never seen this side of him, you've never seen this side of...

Here comes Santa Claus
Doin' all those things
Everybody knows the Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
You know he's a big man
Don't mess with the boss

Every Year, Every Christmas


Every Year, Every Christmas
Composer(s): Richard Marx; Luther Vandross
Performer(s): Luther Vandross; Patti LaBelle



I don't know how love could do this to me
I've waited and waited for someone I never see
But I'm so sentimental, and I'm so hopeful you'll be there
So, here I am every year, every Christmas

I've wished for you in my heart and in my head
And I got my answer that first moment that we met
And, oh yes, I believed you as you told me, as you said
You'd be here every year, every Christmas

There must be a lesson for me to learn
If you don't trust in love, you'll get nothing in return
Why should I be lonely, don't tell me it's right
I have my pride, but I'd rather be with you tonight

So much emotion, it's driving me mad
But I'll take my chances with these feelings that I have
And I'll come back to this same corner where we met
And I'll be here every year, every Christmas

Mere words can't explain the pain and the fear
'Cause oh, I wonder, yes, I wonder are you gonna leave me standing here
Today's almost over, but I don't want to leave
Has my heart made a fool out of me?

My friends gather round me with holiday cheer
They say to forget you, to let you go 'cause you're not here
Well, I can't keep explaining what they'll never understand
And why I'm here every year, every Christmas
I return every year, every Christmas
I come here every year, every Christmas

It's Today


It's Today
Composer(s): Jerry Herman
Performer(s): Bobby Darin - 1966
and multiple other artists



Mame:
Light the candles
Get the ice out
Roll the rug up
It's today
Though it may not be anyone's birthday
And though it's far from the first of the year
I know that this very minute has history in it, we're here!

All:
It's a time for making merry
And so I'm for making hay

Mame:
Tune the grand up
Dance your shoes off
Strike the band up
It's today!

All:
And we're living
In the world game
So this whole game's
What we make

Mame:
Call the cops out
Raise the rockets
Pull the stops out

All:
Pull out the stops
It's today
Light the candles
Fill the punch bowl
Throw confetti
It's today

Girls:
Life can also be lived on a weekday
So don't depend on a holiday date
If you need New Year's to bubble
Then order a double and wait
Doo doo doo doo dah

All:
There's a "thank you" you can give life
If you live life all the way
Pull the stops out
Hold the roof down

Mame:
Fellows watch out
It's today

All:
It's a time for making merry
And so I'm for making hay
Tune the grand up
Call the cops out
Strike the band up
Pull the stops out
Hallelujah!
It's today!



Reprise:


Mame:
Light the sparklers
Crash the cymbals
Blow the bugle
It's today
Someone gave me a wonderful present
Something I needed and yet never knew
So start to whistling and clapping
'Cause under the wrapping was you!

All:
And we'll give life
Quite a tumble
And we'll live life
All the way
Call the cops out
Raise the rocket
Pull the stops out
It's today!
