Happy New Year (ABBA)
Happy New Year
Composer(s): Benny Andersson; Björn Ulvaeus
Performer(s): ABBA;
and various other artists
No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Happy Holidays Y'all
Happy Holidays Y'all
Composer(s): Robert Earl Keen
Performer(s): The Wacky Redneck Hillbillies
There is a Barbie doll in the gravy boat up on mom's TV set
An angel made of Styrofoam holds Rita's cigarette
Santa waves an empty beer in his plastic hand
Everyone is here again, it's Christmastime again
You know the kids are in their sleepin' bags with every kind of toy
And Ken and Kay have hit the hay in dadâs new La-Z-Boy
Fran has got a cozy spot beneath the Christmas tree
Sittin' in his underwear, drunk as he can be
Last night we stuffed our stockings and hung the mistletoe
When Santa Claus came knocking, he looked like Uncle Joe
Someone put the coffee on and find the Tylenol
Merry Christmas everyone, Happy Holidays y'all
Of course old dad got mom a flannel robe and Ken a socket set
Mom got Kay a super value pack of Nicorette
And Kay got Ken a NordicTrack and a new guitar for me
Ken got sister Spanish speaking lessons on CD
Last night we all sang Jingle Bells and opened up our hearts
This morning our house looks like hell or possibly Wal-Mart
Someone clean the gravy boat and dress the Barbie doll
Merry Christmas everyone, Happy Holidays y'all
We're makin' mimosas on the deck and packin' the U-haul
Merry Christmas everyone, God bless us one and all

I've Passed This Way Before
I've Passed This Way Before
Composer(s): James Dean; William Weatherspoon
Performer(s): Jimmy Ruffin; Scotty; The Temptations
Life lends a crushing blow
And once again a heart is broken
And as history repeats itself
These few words are sadly spoken
I’ve passed this way before
And I’ve felt this pain before
A hurt that took so long to end
Has found my poor heart again
As I watch love walking away
It brings back old memories
A familiar pain still feels the same
Once again heartache has found me
A dark cloud covered my heart
Oh, when she told me goodbye
Now there’s nothing left but emptiness
And the tears that fill my crying eyes
I’ve passed this way before
And I’ve felt this pain before
A hurt that took so long to end
Has found my poor heart again
No matter how strong a man is
Without love he walks in the dark
If love deserts him it will surely hurt him
Cos his weakness is his heart
A lonely journey now stands before me
The endless pain has started
But this time I know the way
Walking alone and broken hearted
It so hard to face reality
Knowing loneliness is my destiny
Because I’ve passed this way before
And I’ve felt this pain before
A hurt that took so long to end
Has found my poor heart again

Happy Holidays
Happy Holidays
Composer(s): Ron Rogers; Swain Schaefer
Performer(s): Alabama; Tom Chepokas
Smilin' faces on city streets
Crowded shoppers and busy feet
And every smile just seems to say
We're having some Happy Holidays
Twinklin' lights on Christmas trees
Kids up on old Santa's knee
And busy lines on telephones
Sending a Merry Christmas home
Bells are ringin' everywhere
Season's spirits in the air
Up and down the avenue
Holiday dreams are comin' true
A choir singing songs of cheer
Carols we all love to hear
And Rudolph with his glowin' nose
And lovers under mistletoe
Postman bringin' Christmas cards
Reindeer out in the yard
And Frosty with his eyes of coal
And presents wrapped in pretty bows
Sidewalks full of happy eyes
Flakes fallin' from the sky
And boys and girls at the big parade
To see Ssint Nick up on his sleigh
The scene is set, it's beautiful
Sounds of peace, joy and love
From all of us we'd like to say
Have yourself some Happy Holidays

Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
While the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true
Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy Holidays to you
It's the holiday season
And Santa Claus is coming back
The Christmas snow is white on the ground
When old Santa gets into town
He'll be coming down the chimney, down
Coming down the chimney, down
It's the holiday season
And Santa Claus has got a toy
For every good girl and good little boy
He's a great big bundle of joy
He'll be coming down the chimney, down
Coming down the chimney, down
He'll have a big fat pack upon his back
And lots of goodies for you and me
So leave a peppermint stick for old St. Nick
Hanging on the Christmas tree
It's the holiday season
With the whoop-de-do and hickory dock
And don't forget to hang up your sock
'Cause just exactly at 12 o'clock
He'll be coming down the chimney
Coming down the chimney
Coming down the chimney, down!
Happy Holiday

I've Never Seen A Straight Banana
I've Never Seen A Straight Banana
Composer(s): Ted Waite
Performer(s): The Happiness Boys
and multiple other artists
You may have seen some funny things in your time
But there's one thing you've not seen, I'd like to bet
Would you like to know just what you have been missing?
I'll tell you in the chorus but not yet
Now I've got you puzzled
So I'll tell you what I mean
The thing that's in my mind
I must confess, I haven't seen
I have never, never, never, never
I've never seen a straight banana
I guess I must admit
That I have searched quite a bit
They're even curved when they are served in my banana split
I have seen them by the car-load on the Delaware & Lacawana
But have you ever? No, I've never
I've never seen a straight banana
I recall when I was in Alaska
I saw the sun at twelve-o'clock at night
I've seen the waterfalls at old Niagara
I can vouch it is a most impressive sight
But I'd like to see one certain thing
But if it's not to be
I'd like to meet somebody else
Who saw what I can't see
I've never, never, never, never seen a straight banana
Although the things I hate
Hundreds I have ate
But I've never yet seen one banana that was straight
I have traveled far to find one
I've been to Chili and Havana
But I've never, never, never
I've never seen a straight banana
I've never, never, never, never seen a straight banana
Once I chanced to see a real life murder mystery
The jury found the prisoner guilty in the first degree
All at once we heard the prisoner holler out
"This is the truth, your honor
I've never, never never, never
Never, never, never, never
I've never seen a straight banana

Happy Christmas To You From Me
Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul; Barry Blue
Performer(s): Lynsey De Paul & Barry Blue
If we are the music
and we are the words
Well why don't we use it
To give to the world....
Peace and happiness and harmony
Happy Christmas to you from me
We'd get all the children
to sing a long
You know we could use them
To give this song....
Peace and happiness and harmony
Happy Christmas to you from me
Well we could do with a little love and understanding
and maybe a few prayers will help us too
and maybe in time we could all of us join a hand in
to make this Christmas dream come true
Why are we living?
What is it for?
If not for giving
We need some more....
Peace and happiness and harmony
Happy Christmas to you from me
Papa doobe doobedoo, papa doobedoobedoo
Peace and happiness and harmony
Happy Christmas to you from me
Well if only we could look to one another
and maybe a little love will see us through
for really we're all of us one sister and brother
so let's make this Christmas dream come true
For we are the music
and we are the words
So why don't we use it
To give to the world....
Peace and happiness and harmony
Happy Christmas to you from me
Peace and happiness and harmony
Happy Christmas to you from me
Papa doobe doobedoo, papa doobedoobedoo

Happy Birthday Jesus (I'll Open This One For You)
Happy Birthday Jesus (I'll Open This One For You)
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Reba McEntire
Now kids hang on just a second before we start
You know there's a reason we are all here
in front of Grandma and Grandpa's Christmas tree
And if Trevor and E.P. would quit fighting long enough and be real quiet
This little song might help ya understand
Long ago in a stable there was a baby being born
His parents were Joseph and Mary
And Joseph's big ole heart was torn
Cause he couldn't find a decent place for Mary to have her child
But Mary said it just seemed just right and she blessed it with her smile
'Cause what made it special was the baby in her arms
God sent Him down to give the world a second chance for you and I
That's why we have Christmas at this time each year
It's the baby's birthday party that brings us so much cheer
Now kids the presents that all of you exchange on Christmas
Represents the gifts that baby Jesus received the night he was born
He got all his presents from three wise men
Who followed a star
And walked a long long way to the stable
So everytime you tear open one of your presents
Think about that baby and say
Happy birthday Jesus
I'll open this one for you
Cause what made it special was the baby in her arms
God sent Him down to give the world a second chance for you and I
That's why we have Christmas at this time each year
It's the baby's birthday party that brings us so much cheer
OK all together now
Happy Birthday Jesus
I'll open this one just for you

I've Never Been To Me
I've Never Been To Me
Composer(s): Ken Hirsh; Ron Miller
First release by: Charlene - 1976
Covered by multiple other artists
Hey lady, you lady, cursin' at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you never do
But I wish someone had'a talked to me like I wanna talk to you
Ooooh, I've been to Georgia and California
And anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacher man
And we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces
Because I had to be free
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived a million lies
Ooh, I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
And showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings
And I've seen some things
That a woman ain't s'pose to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie
A fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is? It's that little baby you're holding
And it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love
Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children
That might have made me complete
But I, I took the sweet life
I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring the subtle whoreing
That cost too much to be free
Hey lady, I've been to paradise
But I've never been to meeeeeeeeeeeeee....
I've been to paradise, never been to me
Been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I've been to paradise, never been to me
Been to Nice and the isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht
I've been to paradise ...

Snowy days and frosty nights
Everything looks cold and white
Hangin' 'round the mistletoe

Well, I've waited all year long
And now the year is almost gone
Hangin' 'round the mistletoe
Hangin' 'round the mistletoe
But if that's what I've gotta do
Just to get a kiss from you
Hangin' 'round the mistletoe
Waitin' for you, Dear
Christmas is a special time
To give and to receive
For every little kiss you give me
Well, I will give you three
You ain't gonna miss one kiss
That's one thing you'll never miss
I'm hangin' 'round the mistletoe
Waitin' for you, Dear
Well, I've had my eyes on you
For a long, long time
So, I'm asking Santa please
Make that pretty girl mine
Waited till I'm cold and blue
Just to get a kiss from you
I'm hangin' 'round the mistletoe
Waitin' for you, Dear
Hangin' 'round the mistletoe
Waitin' for you dear

Covered by multiple other artists
I've never been in love before
Now all at once it's you
it's you forever more...
I've never been in love before
I thought my heart was safe
I thought I knew the score
But this is wine that's all too strange and strong
I'm full of foolish song
and now my song must pour
so please forgive this helpless haze I'm in
I've really never been in love before
But this is wine that's all too strange and strong
I'm full of foolish song
and now my song must pour
so please forgive this helpless haze I'm in
I've really never been in love before

Hang Up The Baby's Stocking
Hang Up The Baby's Stocking
Composer(s): Emily Huntington Miller; Hiram Murray Higgins
Hang up the baby's stocking
Be sure you don't forget!
The dear little dimpled darling
She never saw Christmas yet!
But I've told her all about it
And she opened her big blue eyes
And I'm sure she understood it
She looked so funny and wise
Dear, what a tiny stocking!
It doesn't take much to hold
Such little pink toe's as baby's
Away from the frost and the cold
But then, for the baby's Christmas
It will never do at all
Why! Santa wouldn't be looking
For anything half so small
I know what I will do for the baby
I've thought of the very best plan
I'll borrow a stocking of Grandma's
The longest that ever I can
And you'll hang it by mine, dear mother
Right here in the corner so!
And leave a letter to Santa
And fasten it in the toe
Write-this is the baby's stocking
That hangs in the corner here
You never have seen her, Santa
For she only came this year
But she's just the blessed'st baby
And now before you go
Just cram her stocking with goodies
From the top clean down to the toe!

Hamburger Concerto: Well Done
Hamburger Concerto: Well Done
Composer(s): Thijs Van Leer
Performer(s): Focus
O kerstnacht, schoner dan de dagen
Hoe kan Herodes het licht verdragen
Dat in uw duisternisse blinkt
En wordt gevierd en aangebeden
Zijn hoogmoed luistert naar geen reden
Hoe schel die in zijn oren klinkt
Hij tracht d'onozelen te vernielen
Door 't doden van onnozele zielen
En wekt een stad en landgeschrei
In Bethlehem en op de akker
En maakt de geest van Rachel wakker
Die waren gaat door beemd en hei

I've Loved These Days
I've Loved These Days
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel
Now we take our time, so nonchalant
And spend our nights so bon vivant
We dress our days in silken robes
The money comes
The money goes
We know it's all a passing phase
We light our lamps for atmosphere
And hang out hopes on chandeliers
We're going wrong, we're gaining weight
We're sleeping long and far too late
And so it's time to change our ways
But I've loved these days
Now as we indulge in things refined
We hide our hearts from harder times
A string of pearls, a foreign car
Oh we can only go so far
On caviar and cabernet
We drown our doubts in dry champagne
And soothe our souls with fine cocaine
I don't know why I even care
We get so high and get nowhere
We'll have to change our jaded ways
But I've loved these days
So before we end and then begin
We'll drink a toast to how it's been
A few more hours to be complete
A few more nights on satin sheets
A few more times that I can say
I've loved these days
