First Noel
First Noel
(Adapted from: The First Nowell The Angel Did Say - 1833)
(Danish Version: Den Allerførste Jul - 1978)

First recording/First release by: Invincible Quartet - 1910

The first Noel the angels did sing
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields as they lay
In fields fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the king of Israel
And to the Earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the king of Israel
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the king of Israel

I've Been This Way Before
I've Been This Way Before
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond; Sarah Brightman
I've seen the light
And I've seen the flame
And I've been this way before
And I'm sure to be this way again
For I've been refused
And I've been regained
And I've seen your eyes before
And I'm sure to see your eyes again
For I've been released
And I've been regained
And I've sung my song before
And I'm sure to sing my song again
Some people got to laugh
Some people got to cry
Some people got to make it through
By never wondering why
Some people got to sing
Some people got to sigh
Some people never see the light
Until the day they die
But I've been released
And I've been regained
And I've been this way before
And I'm sure to be this way again
One more time again
Just one more time

Gesu Bambino
Gesu Bambino
When blossoms flowered 'mid the snows upon a winter night
Was born the Child the Christmas Rose
The King of Love and Light
The angels sang, the shepherds sang
The grateful earth rejoiced
And at His blessed birth the stars
Their exultation voiced
O Come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Again the heart with rapture glows to greet the holy night
that gave the world it's Christmas Rose
It's king of Love and Light
Let ev'ry voice acclaim His name
The grateful chorus swell
From paradise to earth He came that we with Him might dwell
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
Ah! O come let us adore Him
Ah! O come let us adore Him
Ah! Adore Him, Christ, the Lord
O come, O come
O come let us adore Him
Let us adore Him
Christ, the Lord

I've Been Thinking About You
I've Been Thinking About You
Composer(s): Jimmy Chambers; George Chandler; Haenshall; Jimmy Helms
Performer(s): Londonbeat
and multiple other artists
We must have been stone crazy
when we thought we were just friends
'Cause I miss you, baby
And I've got those feelings again
I guess I'm all confused about you
I feel so in love
Oh, baby, what can I do?
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you, shi-pow-pow!
Suddenly we're strangers
I watch you walking away
She was my one temptation
Oh, I did not want her to stay
Deep down, I'm still confused about you
I feel so in love
Oh, baby, what can I do?
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you, shi-pow-pow!
What good is being her without you?
I feel so in love
Oh, baby, what can I do?
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you
I've been thinking about you, shi-pow-pow!

Gentle Mary Laid Her Child
Gentle Mary Laid Her Child
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Gary Prim
Gentle Mary laid her Child
Lowly in a manger
There He lay, the undefiled
To the world a Stranger
Such a Babe in such a place
Can he be the saviour?
Ask the saved of all the race
Who have found His favour
Angels sang about His birth
Wise men sought and found Him
Heaven's star shone brightly forth
Glory all around Him
Shepherds saw the wondrous sight
Heard the angels singing
All the plains were lit that night
All the hills were ringing
Gentle Mary laid her Child
Lowly in a manger
He is still the undefiled
But no more a Stranger
Son of God of humble birth
Beautiful the story
Praise His Name in all the earth
Hail! the King of Glory!

I've Been There Too
I've Been There Too
Composer(s): Alvin Lee
Performer(s): Ten Years After
There's someone somewhere who can't go on
Their life is crying, it's all gone wrong
What can I say now to help you through
Except to say that I've been there too?
Your soul is aching, you can't see it through
But time is healing each day you do
Keep looking forward, forget the past
It's up to you now, don't let it last
You got to wake up, shake up
You got a right to live
Shake up, don't break up
You've got a lot to give
You'll wake up one morning, you start to feel good
The sun in the blue sky looks like it should
'Cause time is a healer, it's strange but it's true
So, keep looking forward, the sun will come through
You got to wake up, shake up
You got a right to live
Shake up, don't break up
You've got a lot to give

Gelobet Seist Du, Jesu Christ
Composer(s): Martin Luther
Performer(s): J.S. Bach
Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ
Dass du Mensch geboren bist
Von einer Jungfrau, das ist wahr
Des freuet sich der Engel Schar

Den aller Welt Kreis nie beschloss
Der liegt in Marien Schoss
Er ist ein Kindlein worden klein
Der alle Ding' erhält allein
Kyrieleis!
Der Sohn des Vaters, Gott von Art
Ein Gast in der Welt hier ward
Und führt unsaus dem Jammertal
Er macht uns Erben in sein'm Saal
Kyrieleis!
Das ew'ge Licht geht da herein
Gibt der Welt ein'n neuen Schein
Es leucht't wohl mitten in der Nacht
Und uns des Lichtes Kinder macht
Kyrieleis!
Das hat er alles uns getan
Sein' gross' Lieb' zu zeigen an
Des freu' sich alle Christenheit
Und dank' ihm des in Ewigkeit
Kyrieleis!

I've Been Married Just As Long As You Have
I've Been Married Just As Long As You Have
Composer(s): Dolly Parton; Porter Wagoner
Performer(s): Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton
Dolly:
Last night you went out again
With what you said was your best friend
You say you need some time away from me
The sun was high when you got in
But not as high as you had been
And I wonder how you would act
If I done just the way I pleased
I've been married just as long as you have
And I get tired of the same old things
Just the same as you have
Well let me tell you this, big boy
When you go out for a night of joy
You better start taking me along
Or you'll be singing a different song
For I've been married just as long as you have
Porter:
While I'm working hard all day
you run around and spend my pay
You entertain your friends at my expence
But you cry and carry on
When I do something on my own
And you accuse with lack of evidence
I've been married just as long as you have
And I get tired of the same old things
Just the same as you have
So let me tell you this, sweetheart
I figure I've done my part
So don't get cute and get so smart
I'll tell you this before you start
I've been married just as long as you have
Dolly:
And that's a pretty good while
Porter:
Honey, you're the cat I've spent nine lives with
Dolly:
I know you have, you ain't spent no time at home
You're running around all over town
You're here and there everywhere
Porter
And if I could stand you long enough
I might stay at home a little more
Dolly:
You move so fast a umbrella'd be in your way, honey
If it was raining
Porter:
Oh boy, now ain't that cute
If your heart was as big as your mouth
You'd give everything we owned away
Dolly:
But I love you, you little devil
So don't you ever take off and leave me now here by myself
I'll hit you right in the
Porter:
I wouldn't, I wouldn't trust you with yourself
Dolly:
I'll hit you right in the mouth, honey, and it'll go
Porter:
You will, golly!
Dolly:
Ah, but then you'll look like you've had the mumps
When I get done kissing you
Porter:
Why don't you do it now, I ain't had the mumps
Dolly:
I'm a-gonna do it, here it goes, golly
I'll get you in line, that's true
Porter:
Ho-hoo, woman you're killing me, but I love every minute of it

Gee Whiz, It's Christmas
Composer(s): Steve Cropper; Carla Thomas; Vincent Trauth
Performer(s): Carla Thomas
Hello there, Merry Christmas, how've you been
Gee, it's so good to talk to you again
It's been a long, long time
Can't explain why you've crossed my mind
I guess it's just to wish you a Merry Christmas
My best friend's having a party and everbody's going
I know it's gonna be alot of fun, oh, by the way, it's snowing
It's been a long, long time
Can't explain why you've crossed my mind
I guess it's just to say
Gee whiz, it's Christmas
It's funny that I never thought to call you before
And why didn't I ever see you around anymore
Another year has passed, and I can't erase
The memory of your smiling face
So I had to call you up and say
Gee whiz, it's Christmas
So don't forget the party that's just growing
The warm fire from the fireplace will be glowing
It's been a long, long time
I still can't figure out why you've crossed my mind
I guess it's just to say
Gee whiz, it's Christmas
I'm wishing you a Merry
Have a Merry, Merry Christmas
Gee whiz ...

And sing a song of grateful praise

Frosty The Snowman
Frosty The Snowman
Composer(s): Steve Nelson; Jack Rollins
First release by: Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians - 1951
Covered by multiple other artists
Frosty the Snowman
was a jolly happy soul
with a corncob pipe and a button nose
and two eyes made of coal
Frosty the Snowman
is a fairytale, they say
He was made of snow
but the children know
how he came to life one day
There must have been some magic in
that old silk they found
for when they placed it on his head
he began to dance around!
Oh, Frosty, the Snowman
was alive as he could be
and the children say
he could laugh and play
just the same as you and me
Frosty, clumsy as he can be
see him lopping along!
Off he goes on an icicle spree
with a happy song!
Frosty the Snowman
knew the sun was hot that day
so he said, "Let's run, and we'll have some fun
now, before I melt away"
Down to the village
with a broomstick in his hand
Runnin' here and there
all around the square
sayin', "Catch me if you can"
He led them down the streets of town
right to the traffic cop . . .
and only paused a moment
when he heard him holler, "Stop!"
Hmm, Frosty the Snowman
had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye, sayin'
"Don't you cry
I'll be back again some day"
Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump . . .
look at Frosty go!
Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump . . .
over the hills of snow!

I've Been Floating Down The Old Green River
Composer(s): Joe Cooper; Bert Kalmar
Performer(s): Johnny Mercer
and multiple other artists
Half past four, Dan Mc Graw, came sneak-ing to his wif-ey's door
She'd been wait-ing up all night, Wait-ing for him to go to bed
Dan-ny smiled, like a child, but his wif-ey grew very wild
Where have you been all night long?, she cried
And this is what Dan-ny re-plied
I've been float-ing down the old green riv-er on the good ship Rock and Rye
But I floated to far, I got stuck on a bar
I was out there a-lone, wish-ing that I was home
The ship got wrecked with the captain and crew
And there was on-ly one thing left to do
So I had to drink the whole green riv-er dry
to get back home to you
(Repeat chorus)
Do you think she bought his story?
