Round & Round The Christmas Tree
Round & Round The Christmas Tree
Composer(s): Redd Evans; Jay Livingston
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
Round and round the Christmas tree
Presents hanging there for you and me
Lights all shining merrily
Christmas a week away
A-ring around the Christmas tree
Children making up a melody
Grown-ups laughing happily
Christmas a day away
Wishing, hoping, boxes to open
But we agree it's right to wait
Turkey and dressing, after the blessing
And there's just a night to wait
Round and round the Christmas tree
Opening presents with the family
One for you and two for me
Oh what a Christmas Day
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong,
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Round and round the Christmas tree
Presents hanging there for you and me
Lights all shining merrily
Christmas a week away
Lights all shining merrily
Christmas a week away
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Wishing, hoping, boxes to open
But we agree it's right to wait
Turkey and dressing, after the blessing
And there's just a night to wait
Round and round the Christmas tree
Opening presents with the family
One for you and two for me
Oh what a Christmas Day
Oh what a Christmas Day
Oh what a Christmas Day
Oh what a Christmas Day
Oh what a Christmas Day

School Days (When We Were A Couple Of Kids)
School Days (When We Were A Couple Of Kids)
Composer(s): Will Cobb; Gus Edwards
Performer(s): Byron G. Harlan
and multiple other artists
Nothing to do, Nellie Darling
Nothing to do you say
Let's take a trip on memory's ship
Back to the bygone days
Sail to the old village school house
Anchor outside the school door
Look in and see, there's you and there's me
A couple of kids once more
School days, school days
Dear old golden rule days
Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hickory stick
You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful barefoot beau
And you wrote on my slate, "I love you, Joe"
When we were a couple of kids
'Member the hill, Nellie Darling
And the oak tree that grew on its brow
They've built forty storeys upon that old hill
And the oak's an old chestnut now
'Member the meadows so green, dear
So fragrant with clover and maize
Into new city lots and preferred bus'ness plots
They've cut them up since those days
School days, school days
Dear old golden rule days
Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hickory stick
You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful barefoot beau
And you wrote on my slate, "I love you, Joe"
When we were a couple of kids

The Christmas Song
The Christmas Song
Composer(s): Mel Tormé; Robert Wells
First release by: The King Cole Trio - 1946
Covered by multiple other artists
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you!

Up in the mornin' and out to school
The teacher is teachin' the Golden Rule
American history and practical math
You study' em hard and hopin' to pass
Workin' your fingers right down to the bone
And the guy behind you won't leave you alone
Ring ring goes the bell
The cook in the lunchroom's ready to sell
You're lucky if you can find a seat
You're fortunate if you have time to eat
Back in the classroom open you books
Gee but the teacher don't know
How mean she looks
Soon as three o'clock rolls around
You finally lay your burden down
Close up your books, get out of your seat
Down the halls and into the street
Up to the corner and 'round the bend
Right to the juke joint you go in
Drop the coin right into the slot
You gotta hear something that's really hot
With the one you love you're makin' romance
All day long you been
Wantin' to dance
Feelin' the music from head to toe
'Round and 'round and 'round you go
Drop the coin right into the slot
You gotta hear something that's really hot
Hail, hail rock'n'roll
Deliver me from the days of old
Long live rock'n'roll
The beat of the drum is loud and bold
Rock rock rock'n'roll
The feelin' is there body and soul

Performer(s): Average White Band
Meet me in the playground at a quarter to 4
Wait till everybody's long gone
There must be so many things that we could explore
Hey, baby, maybe I can walk you home
Now if it stars to rain (It starts to rain) we can take some shelter
I'd like to hold your little hand, oh
My head is spinning like a helter-skelter
We'll get to know each other if we can
She said, "Hey, wait a minute"
Hold on
She said, "Hey, just a little bit"
Hold on
Whenever I try to think of what it feels like to feel it
For the first time and was it really such a thrill
She said, "Look, boy, but don't you touch"
That ain't much, it's only a school boy crush
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah, badda, badda, yeah, yeah, yeah
Got to keep this secret, can't take no chance
Don't want nobody else to know
There is nothing wrong with trying to start a romance
But we should take it nice and slow
If we play it cool (If we play it cool) it'll be alright
Don't let the teacher see us talking, yeah
But after school we can be out of sight
Everybody's gonna think we just gone walking
She said, "Hey, just wait a minute"
Hold on
She said, "Hey, just a little bit now"
Hold on
Whenever I try to think of what it feels like to feel it
For the first time is it really such a thrill
She said, "Look, boy, but don't you touch"
That ain't much, it's only a school boy crush
She said, "Look, boy, but don't you touch"
That ain't much, it's only a school boy crush
She said, "Look, boy, but don't you touch"
That ain't much, it's only a school boy crush

Rock & Roll Christmas
Performer(s): Ron Dante
Have yourself a rock & roll Christmas
Like the good ones that used to be
Put a shoo bop de bop and an ooh wah baby
Under the Christmas tree
And a shoobee doo wah
And let's get together singin'
Four part harmony
Just remember Santa Claus
He likes rock & roll
Just like you and me
Have yourself a rock & roll Christmas
Do all the dances we used to do
You can start the motion with the loco-motion
Do the twist and the boogaloo
Do the mashed potato and the watusi
You can dance until you wear out your shoes
Put your troubles away for this holiday
Don't let Santa catch you singin' the blues
Have yourself a rock & roll Christmas
Keep the music goin' all night long
Dance the night away until Santa's sleigh
Brings you more of your favorite songs
There'll be rockin' and boppin'
There'll be no stoppin'
Just the way life used to be
Just remember Santa Claus
He likes rock & roll
Just like you and me
Have yourself a rock & roll Christmas
Have yourself a rock & roll Christmas
Have yourself a rock & roll Christmas

School
School
Composer(s): Rick Davies; Roger Hodgson
Performer(s): Supertramp
I can see you in the morning when you go to school
Don't forget your books, you know you've got to learn the golden rule
Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work
And be like Johnnie - too-good, well don't you know he never shirks - he's coming along!
After School is over you're playing in the park
Don't be out too late, don't let it get too dark
They tell you not to hang around and learn what life's about
And grow up just like them - won't you let it work it out - and you're full of doubt
Don't do this and don't do that
What are they trying to do?
Make a good boy of you
Do they know where it's at?
Don't criticise, they're old and wise
Do as they tell you to
Don't want the devil to
Come out and put your eyes
Maybe I'm mistaken expecting you to fight
Or maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know wrong from right
But while I am still living, I've just got this to say
It's always up to you if you want to be that
want to see that
want to see that way
you're coming along!

River
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
First release by: Joni Mitchell - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
Oh I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I made my baby cry
He tried hard to help me
He put me at ease
Lord, he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
Oh I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I made my baby say goodbye
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

Schön ist der Morgen

Singen die Lerchen
Ganz ohne Sorgen
Freu'n sie sich nur
Nimm dir ein Beispiel
Sei mehr zufrieden
Oft willst du zuviel
Frag mal warum
Schön ist der Morgen
Sonne und Regen
Du bist geborgen
Solang du glaubst
Kommen und gehen
Können die Stunden
Alles verstehen
Kann der Mensch nie
Schön ist der Morgen
Fang wieder neu an
Gestern und Sorgen
Alt und vorbei
Danke und denke
Das die Welt schön ist
Darum verschenke
Nie deinen Tag

The Father heard church bells at midnight
A wrong time for church bells to chime
He went to the tower, found a little girl there
Said, "Why ring the bells at this time?"
"I'm just ringing the bells for Jim, please Father
Ringing the bells for Jim
I'm sorry I'm cryin', but my brother Jim's dyin'
So I'm ringing the bells for Jim"
"Please father pray for him this Christmas
He's sick and he's in so much pain
The doctors all say he'll be gone any day
So I must ring the bells again"
"I'm just ringing the bells for Jim, please Father
Ringing the bells for Jim
I'm sorry I'm cryin', but my brother Jim's dyin'
So I'm ringing the bells for Jim"
On the day after Christmas she brought him
Said "Father, heed little Jim
You see he got well when he heard the church bells
I was ringing the bells for Jim"
"I'm just ringing the bells for Jim, please Father
Ringing the bells for Jim
I'm sorry I'm cryin', but my brother Jim's dyin'
So I'm ringing the bells for Jim"

Schieß Die Lichter Aus
Schieß Die Lichter Aus
Performer(s): Ulla Meinecke
Der Raum platzt vor Leuten und kalter Musik
Wieder ein neues Glassplitterstück
Du lachst wie ein Kind und lehnst in der Tür
Ich will nicht mehr tanzen, ich will zu Dir
Die Luft is zum Schneiden und klebt auf der Haut
Und der Typ neber mir tratscht viel zu laut
Mir ist so danach romantisch zu sein
Ich will mit Dir flüstern
Doch dazu müßt ich schrein
Schieß die Lichter aus
Schick sie alle nach Haus
Ich will jetzt keine Musik
Nur Deinen blonden Blick
Ich will dich lachen sehn
Jeder flirtet mit jedem, jetzt ist es soweit
Und keiner glaubt keinem, alle wissen Bescheid
Eisen glühn im feuer, und da brennt die Luft
Ich wart nur noch drauf, daß noch jemand ruft
Der Raum platzt vor Leuten und kalter Musik
Wieder ein neues Glassplitterstück
Du lachst wie ein Kind und lehnst in der Tür
Ich will nicht mehr tanzen, ich will zu Dir
Schieß die Lichter aus....

Performer(s): Peggy Lee
and multiple other artists
Some folks like to hear a Christmas song
But I like Christmas bells that go ding dong
Jingle-jangle, ding-a-ling, or just bing-bong
I love to hear 'em ring
Oh, ring those Christmas bells
Ring those Christmas bells
While they chime we'll have a happy time
So ring those Christmas bells
Up above the stars are clear and bright
While all around the snow is soft and white
Santa and his reindeer soon will be in sight
And you will hear him sing
Oh, ring those Christmas bells
Ring those Christmas bells
While they chime we'll have a happy time
So ring those Christmas bells
For the music of an open sleigh
When ev'ry jolly jingle seems to say
"Happy, happy, happy, happy holiday!"
Come on and join the fun!
Oh, ring those Christmas bells
Ring those Christmas bells
While they chime we'll have a happy time
So ring those Christmas bells

Ga met me mee mijn toverfee
Naar een hemel voor ons twee

Renta Santa
Renta Santa
Performer(s): Chris Hill
Here is a news flash!
We have just heard that Father Christmas
is unable to do his rounds this year
due to industrial trouble in Greenland
Therefore, a replacement must be found!
We are going over now to the office of Renta Santa
Miss Singleton, who has actually applied for the job?
"Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Alice Cooper, Elton John"
Same old faces, hey?
Have you any suggestions of your own?
"Take a chance with someone new, you'll see"
Good idea
Now, here's a face we all know
Football star, Georgie Best
George, what have you been doing lately?
"Sitting in the sun, waiting for a senorita to show"
Splendid!
And now we have Mr. Edward Heath
Sir, we know you're out of work right now, but
Don't you think you look rather foolish standing there
In a red costume and false beard?
"It's just a silly phase I'm going through"
Tell us, what did Margaret Thatcher say when
She saw you dressed like this?
"She stood there laughing"
Oh dear, well here's someone whose not been laughing
Too much either; rock star and tax exile, Rod Stewart
"I'm an ordinary guy, and my pockets are empty"
Rod, what did you tell the tax department
When you returned to this country?
"I can't give you anything"
But Rod, we all have to pay tax
"But not half as much as I do"
Really?
"No, not half as much as I do"
Over here, we are very fortunate to have the
Man who trains Santa's reindeers
Sir, we understand you actually speak to these animals
What do you say to them?
"Ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh"
And what is their reply?
"What chu, chu, chu, chu"
What does that mean exactly?
"That means, I offer my love to you"
Amazing!
And now we've got Mr. Spock from Star Fleet Command!
How did you get here?
"Look at me, can't you see, I'm beaming all over?"
Oh, and now they're ready with the results
They are about to be announced
And the man whose been chosen is Mr. Uri Geller
Well, Uri, this is really wonderful
Everyone's delighted!
Now, I'm sure we'd all like to see a party trick before you leave
What are you going to do for us?
"I took my magic wand, and 'poof', I have me fun!"
And look what's happening here
It's Bendy!
"Hey, what does?
What's happening"
Hey! You've bust me record player!
Player.....player.....player.....player.......
