I Wish Everyday Could Be Like Christmas
I Wish Everyday Could Be Like Christmas
Composer(s): Jon Bon Jovi
Performer(s): Bon Jovi; Christmas All Stars; Michael Gapys
What time is it baby?
Is it that time again?
When snow will be falling, friends will be calling
You know it's time when there'll be carolers singing Silent Night
I love when they sing, the feeling it brings
It's warm as a fire is bright
Soon there'll be toys for the good girls and boys
And reindeer are heading our way
Yes, and Santa will come down the chimney above
There's one thing I wanted to say
I wish everyday could be like Christmas
And if I could have one wish come true
I wish everyday could be full of peace and harmony
I wish everyday could be like Christmas, I do
I saw a child sit with old Mr. Claus
Looked him in the eye and he asked old Santa what peace on earth was
Now the old man grew cautious on how he would say
That is the greatest gift, one you can give everyday
I wish everyday could be like Christmas
And if I could have one wish come true
I wish everyday could be full of peace and harmony
I wish everyday could be like Christmas, I do
Now the mistle-toe and the house a-glow
All the world seems at ease tonight
And all that I ask when these precious moments pass
Is why can't every day be so bright?
I wish everyday could be like Christmas
And if I could have one wish come true
I wish everyday could be full of peace and harmony
I wish everyday could be like Christmas, I do
Honest I do, yes I do now
Very merry Christmas

(Sailor stop your roaming)
Sailor, stop your roaming
Sailor, leave the sea
Sailor, when the tide turns
Come home, safe to me
As you sail across the sea
All my love is there beside you
In Capri or Amsterdam, Honolulu or Siam
To the harbour of my heart
I will sent my love to guide you
As I call across the sea
Come home to me
Sailor, stop your roaming
Sailor, leave the sea
Sailor, when the tide turns
Come home, safe to me
As you sail across the sea
All my love is there beside you
In Capri or Amsterdam, Honolulu or Siam
To the harbour of my heart
I will sent my love to guide you
As I call across the sea
Come home to me

I Was Young Once Too
I Was Young Once Too
Composer(s): Robert Bryne; Richard Leigh
Performer(s): Alabama
He raced that engine down the track
'round the tree on Christmas Day
I was so amazed my Dad would play with trains
I saw a sparkle in his eye, then I heard him say
"Come on son, let's play, I was young once too"
He washed that Buick faithfully, Lord, he kept her clean
I thought that machine meant more to him than me
On the day I turned sixteen, he threw me the keys
Said, "I was young once too, now she belongs to you"
He was such a young man then, I'm older than that now
I hope I measure up to him, when the circle comes around
I saw him in the attic sittin' cross legged on the floor
With some old photographs, he pointed and he laughed
He said, "That's me in that picture", I said
"No son, that's your dad
I was young once too, and looked a lot like you"
I was young once too, I was young once too
Merry Christmas son, I wish your Grandpa were here
He was young once too, and looked like me and you

Sailing To Philadelphia
Sailing To Philadelphia
Composer(s): James Taylor; Mark Knopfler
First release by: James Taylor, Mark Knopfler
I am Jeremiah Dixon
I am a Geordie boy
A glass of wine with you, sir
And the ladies I'll enjoy
All Durham and Northumberland
Is measured up by my own hand
It was my fate from birth
To make my mark upon the earth...
He calls me Charlie Mason
A stargazer am I
It seems that I was born
To chart the evening sky
They'd cut me out for baking bread
But I had other dreams instead
This baker's boy from the west country
Would join the Royal Society...
We are sailing to Philadelphia
A world away from the coaly Tyne
Sailing to Philadelphia
To draw the line
A Mason-Dixon Line
Now you're a good surveyor, Dixon
But I swear you'll make me mad
The West will kill us both
You gullible Geordie lad
You talk of liberty
How can America be free
A Geordie and a baker's boy
In the forests of the Iroquois...
Now hold your head up, Mason
See America lies there
The morning tide has raised
The capes of Delaware
Come up and feel the sun
A new morning has begun
Another day will make it clear
Why your stars should guide us here...
We are sailing to Philadelphia
A world away from the coaly Tyne
Sailing to Philadelphia
To draw the line
A Mason-Dixon Line

I Was Born On Christmas Day
I Was Born On Christmas Day
Composer(s): Bob Stanley; Pete Wiggs; Ian Catt
Performer(s): Saint Etienne
Spent the summer holed up in a room
Looking pretty, won't you be here soon?
EuroDisney, could not work at all
A little bird had told me in the fall
Getting groovy after Hallowe'en
Mid-November, got back on the scene
I'm so glad that I just got my pay!
I was born on Christmas day
In December, my heart's full of spring
I could phone you, tell you everything
Like the crazy evenings on the yacht
Tim and Sarah went and tied the knot!
Did you know they pulled the town hall down?
I don't think you'll recognise this town
Never could have been a tennis wife
Get into the acting life
Getting groovy after Hallowe'en
Mid-November, got back on the scene
I'm so glad that I just got my pay!
I was born on Christmas day
I was born on Christmas day
I was born on Christmas day

I Will Go Sailing No More
I Will Go Sailing No More
(French Version: Jamais Plus Je Ne Volerai - 1995)
Composer(s): Randy Newman
First release by: Randy Newman - 1995
Covered by multiple other artists
Out among the stars I sing
Way beyond the moon
In my silver ship I sail
A dream that ended too soon
Now I know exactly who I am and what I'm here for
And I will go sailing no more
All the things I thought I'd be
All the brave things I've done
Vanish like a snowflake
With the rising of the sun
Never more to sail my ship
Where no man has gone before
And I will go sailing no more
But no, it can't be true
I could fly if I wanted to
Like a bird in the sky
If I believed I could fly
Why, I'd fly
Clearly, I will go sailing no more

I Want An Alien For Christmas
I Want An Alien For Christmas
Performer(s): Fountains Of Wayne
This year for christmas
There's something I'd really like
So if you're up there somewhere Santa
Please don't bring me another bike
I don't need any ugly sweaters
And I don't play much basketball
But there's something kinda special
That I want most of all
I want an alien for christmas
Bring me an alien this year
I want a little green guy about 3 feet high
With 17 eyes, who knows how to fly
I want an alien for christmas, this year
He can live in the bath-tub
So don't worry about a thing
And I'll take him out for walks
When it gets nicer in the spring
I'll always keep him company
He'll never be alone
And we can hang around the house all day
And watch The Twilight Zone
I want an alien for christmas
Bring me an alien this year
I want a little green guy about 3 feet high
With 17 eyes, who knows how to fly
I want an alien for christmas, this year
I want an alien for christmas
Bring me an alien this year
I want a little green guy about 3 feet high
With 17 eyes, who knows how to fly
I want an alien for christmas, this year
I want an alien for christmas, this year

Sous les étoiles je chante
Au delà des lunes
Dans mon grand vaisseau d’argent
Le rêve s’achève
Je sais bien sur, qui je suis
Et pourquoi je suis là
Mais jamais plus je ne volerai
Non, c’est impossible
Après tout, bien sur
Si je voulais, je pourrais m’envoler
Pourtant jamais plus je ne volerai

(I Want A) Rock And Roll Guitar
Composer(s): J.P. Richardson
Performer(s): Johnny Preston
A ho ho ho......
It was the night before Christmas and everthing was real quiet
So I thought I'd take myself a little walk at Christmas Eve Night
I was makin' it on down the street
when to my surprise I saw this little bitty cat with big old tears in his eyes
Now I could see he was standin' in front of this music store and looked real brought down
I could hear what he was sayin'
he didn't know I was around...he say.....
I want a rock an' roll guitar
With a big bass string
I want a rock an' roll guitar
So I can play the thing
I wanna be on t.v.
Like a rock an' roll star
I want Santa Claus to bring me
A rock an' roll guitar
Ha ha ha.....
So-a I walked over to him-a 'cause I understand
I, I thought I'd cheer him up so I say
"Look-a-here little man
A-you don't want no rock an' roll guitar
you want a six gun like the Lone Ranger has
so you can run around sayin'-a hi ho Silver, Kimo sabe, and all that cowboy jazz
Or how would you like old Santa to bring you a little dump truck
so you could go around a-dumpin' things".....
And he say, "Man, I don't want no dumptruck
I want somethin' that swings".....He say.....
I want a rock an' roll guitar
With a big bass string
I want a rock an' roll guitar
So I can play that thing
I wanna be on t.v.
Like a rock an' roll star
I want Santa Claus to bring me
A rock an' roll guitar
Ha, ha, wait a minute there, wait a minute, hold on, hold on I say
I say, hold on there little fellow
ah why don't you be like the little chicks and cats
and wish for a space helmet or a rocketship or something wild like that?
And you know what he say?
He say.....
"Look here dad, I don't want no plane or no train or nothin' square like that
that ain't the lick for me
When I awake this whole place is gonna shake
'cause you know what I want under my Christmas tree!"....He say.....
I want a rock an' roll guitar
With a big bass string
I want a rock an' roll guitar
So I can play the thing
I wanna be on t.v.
Like a rock an' roll star
I want Santa Claus to bring me
A rock an' roll guitar
Ho ho ho, crazy little fellow, crazy, yeah, say...

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don't want a doll
No dinky tinker toy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Clause will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door
That's the easy thing to do
I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles
No rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too
Mom says the hippo would eat me up
But then teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian
There's lots of room for him in our two car garage
I'd feed him and wash him there
And give him his massage
I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles
No rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too

Performer(s): Ringo Starr
I wanna be Santa Claus
I wanna get all the toys
Just like Santa Claus I'd give them away
To all the girls and boys
Then, if I could be Santa Claus
Coming through for everyone
And the gifts that I'd bring could make your heart sing
We'd have so much fun
Santa Claus is someone who comes once a year
But I could be there every day, bringing Christmas cheer
I wanna be Santa Claus
I wanna ride in the sleigh
Then I'd fly through the air
And catch a star tonight for Christmas Day
Santa Claus is someone who comes once a year
But I could be there every day, bringing Christmas cheer
If I could be Santa Claus
I'd make every dream come true
And sign every card exactly the same
With love from me to you, ooh

Pablo De Paja
Composer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo
Ella sonríe dorada de sol
Arena blanca y olas de cartón
Tiene mirada de "cómprame dos"
y entre sus manos un sueño de latón
Tras la autopista y desde un trigal
Pablo la mira, la quiere alcanzar
Enamorado, tan flaco que está
Bajo su abrigo el viento soplará
... Y lloverá, los autos pasarán
Después una mirada atraviesa la humedad
Y en el camino quedan dos
Dándose besos de vapor
Como fantasmas en la oscuridad
Sintiendo amor
Pablo de paja, niña de lata
En la carretera treinta y dos
Todo era hermoso hasta que un camión
Trajo un letrero de aceite super oil
Y la muñeca del "cómprame dos"
Sacrificada en trocitos de cartón
Tras la autopista y desde el trigal
Pablo la mira, no la puede ayudar
Desesperado la quiere alcanzar
Espantapájaros, se queda en su lugar
... Y llorará, los pájaros vendrán
Después un viento bueno
Su sombrero hará volar
Y en el camino eran dos
Dándose besos de vapor
Como fantasmas en la oscuridad
Sintiendo amor
Pablo de paja, niña de lata
En la carretera treinta y dos

Covered by multiple other artists
Well, it's not far down to paradise, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me
It's not far to never-never land, no reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Fantasy, it gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie, every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me?
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Well it's not far back to sanity, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

Pa' Trabajar
Pa' Trabajar
Composer(s): Fito Páez
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
El alma hace al cuerpo
El cuerpo al hombre
La lengua a sus palabras
Y así arruinamos todo de un principio
Sin querer decirnos nada
Jugamos a agitar las multitudes
En las plazas y en los barrios
Habrá que afiliarse a algún partido
Como comprar ciertos diarios
Si bien debemos empezar de nuevo
Aprendamos del pasado ...
El lobo siempre se come al cordero
Si éste se queda sentado
El hombre es el espejo de sus actos
No importa, las lágrimas húmedas se secarán
Tejiendo en el mañana una sonrisa
Que ayude pa' trabajar
Que ayude pa' trabajar
Hoy somos como un árbol en invierno
Desprovisto de hojas verdes
Hoy somos el futuro acumulado
En la verede de enfrente
Hoy somos el fruto de la cosecha
La semilla adolecente
Tenemos una casa tan, tan grande
Y cada uno en su kiosco
A ver si un día de estos la miramos
Para ver si no es de otro
A ver si un día de estos la miramos
Nos veremos a nosotros
El hombre es espejo ...

There's a lady in a turban
In a cocaine tree
And she does a dance so rhythmically
There's a crying and a singing
Wouldn't have any time
But don't that cocaine tree look fine
But you gotta put on your sailin' shoes
Put on your sailin' shoes
Everyone will start to cheer
When you put on your sailin' shoes
Girl doctor doctor
I feel so bad
This is the worst day I've ever had
Said happiness and misery
Misery very long time
Coz if you if I lay you on the line
But you gotta put on your sailin' shoes
Put on your sailin' shoes
Everyone will hip hooray
When you put on your sailin' shoes
Jedidah
He's got a dime
says he catches more fish every time
Well I've gotta line
If you've got a pole
Well I'll meet you at the fishing hole
But you gotta put on your sailin' shoes
Put on your sailin' shoes
Everyone will start to cheer
When you put on your sailin' shoes
Said, everyone put on
Put on your sailin' shoes
