This Is That Time Of The Year
This Is That Time Of The Year
Composer(s): Jack Jones
Performer(s): The Bee Gees
This is that time of the year
A tinselly, glittery time
Long distance calls to uncle and aunt
On ev'ry corner you bump into Santa
'Cause this is that time of the year
A holly and jolly old time
Windows are dressed in ribbons of silk
And Junior drinks all of his milk!
Poppa keeps buying presents
And sneaks them into the closet
Momma goes to the bank
But she holds out a dollar from ev'ry deposit
'Cause this is that time of the year
A silver bow, mistletoe time
Spirits are high, good will and good cheer
We're putting the tree up
The kids shouldn't be up
Saint Nick says, "Giddy-up!"
To Dasher, Dancer, Blitzen, Prancer
This is that time of the year!
This is that time of the year
A tinselly, glittery time
Dumpling and goose and pudding and pie
Perfect excuse to go right off your diet!
'Cause this is that time of the year
A holly and jolly old time
Snow on your roof, your face and your shoes
And presents that you'll never use!
Grandma feels twenty-two so
She dons her gayest apparel
Grandpa is full of good cheer
He stands at the spinet and sings ev'ry carol
'Cause this is that time of the year
A silver bow, mistletoe time
Spirits are high, good will and good cheer
We're putting the tree up
The kids shouldn't be up
Saint Nick says, "Giddy-up!"
To Dasher, Dancer, Blitzen, Prancer
This is that time of the year!

Show Me The Way
Show Me The Way
Composer(s): Peter Frampton
First release by: Peter Frampton - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists
I wonder how your feeling
There's ringing in my ears
And no one to relate to 'cept the sea
Who can I believe in
I'm kneeling on the floor
There has to be a force who do I phone
The stars are out and shinning, but all I really want to know...
Oh won't you show me the way
I want you ...show me the way
Well, I can see no reason
You living on your nerves
When someone drops a cup and I submerge
I'm swimming in a circle
I feel I'm going down
There has to be a fool to play my part
Well someone thought of healing, but all I really want to know...
Oh won't you show me the way (everyday)
I want you ...show me the way
I want you day after day
I wonder if I'm dreaming
I feel so unashamed
I can't believe this is happening to me
I watch you when you're sleeping,and then I want to take your love
Oh won't you show me the way (everyday)
I want you ...show me the way
I want you day after day
Oh won't you show me the way (everyday)
I want you ...show me the way
I want you day after day

This Christmas (Reba McEntire)
This Christmas
Composer(s): Rick Bowles
Performer(s): Reba McEntire
2,000 years ago, three wise men left their home
When an angel of the Lord
Said, "Seek the Savior born"
Logic told them they were crazy
They shouldn't even try
The followed their hearts, they followed that star
This Christmas, let me be that wise
2,000 years ago, Mary left her home
An angel said, "Have faith"
The Lord will light your way
The road was long and winding
But a promise had been made
From heaven above, that was enough
This Christmas, let me keep that faith
This Christmas, let this be the season
Of peace and love, joy and true believing
2,000 years ago, as everybody knows
A perfect baby lay
Asleep there in the hay
The world would not believe Him
But he loved them all so much
On that first night, He was the light
This Christmas, let me feel that love
Keep that faith, be that wise, feel that love
This Christmas

Performer(s): Cedarmont Kids;
and various other artists
There's a song in the air! There's a star in the sky!
There's a mother's deep prayer and a baby's low cry!
And the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing
For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!
There's a tumult of joy o'er the wonderful birth
For the virgin's sweet Boy is the Lord of the earth
Ay! the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing
For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!
In the light of that star lie the ages impearled
And that song from afar has swept over the world
Every hearth is aflame, and the beautiful sing
In the homes of the nations that Jesus is King!
We rejoice in the light, and we echo the song
That comes down through the night from the heavenly throng
Ay! we shout to the lovely evangel they bring
And we greet in His cradle our Saviour and King!

Performer(s): George Strait
and multiple other artists
We're looking for the king
The new messiah
We're following the star
Shining brighter
Old man won't you help us if you can
He shook his head
But he pointed his hand
There's a new kid in town
And he's lying in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But he's just another baby I suppose
Heaven knows
There's a new kid in town
Here in Bethlehem
I see you've traveled far
Bearing treasures
You say these gifts are for
The new kings pleasure
I've heard that a king might come
But up till now there hasn't been
There's a new kid in town
And he's lying in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But he's just another baby I suppose
Heaven knows
There's a new kid in town
Here in Bethlehem
There's a new kid in town
And he's lying in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But he's just another baby I suppose

Show Biz Kids
Composer(s): Walter Carl Becker; Donald Jay Fagen
First release by: Steely Dan - 1973
While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night
After closing time
At the Guernsey Fair
I detect the El Supremo
From the room at the top of the stairs
Well I've been around the world
And I've been in the Washington Zoo
And in all my travels
As the facts unravel
I've found this to be true
While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night
They got the house on the corner
With the rug inside
They got the booze they need
All that money can buy
They got the shapely bods
They got the Steely Dan T-shirt
And for the coup-de-gras
They're outrageous
While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night
Show biz kids making movies
Of themselves you know they
Don't give a fuck about anybody else
While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night

Blends with churchbells that ring

There Are No Lights On Our Christmas Tree
There Are No Lights On Our Christmas Tree
Performer(s): The Seekers
The time has come for festivity
For Christmas pudding and revelry
But as I passed a house the other night
I heard this little voice, so clear and bright
There are no lights on our Christmas tree
We must not spoil the tele-vee
No party games, no mistletoe
Just whistle "Wenceslas," and out you go
'Bout once a year I become a square
I love to feel the tinsel in my hair
I love to hear the songs of days gone by
But Dad and me, we don't see eye to eye
The Christmas crackers from Uncle Alf
They lie unopened upon the shelf
Dad has forbid them, but we're hoping he
Will think the bangs come from "N.Y.P.D."
There are no lights on our Christmas tree
We must not spoil the tele-vee
No party games, no mistletoe
Just whistle "Wenceslas," and out you go
Some carol singers came to our door
I've never seen Dad so mad before
He grabbed the leader by the coat
And tried to ram his lantern down his throat
When I grow up to be a man
There'll be no television in my plan
With laughter gay, my house will ring
I never want to hear my family sing…
There are no lights on our Christmas tree
We must not spoil the tele-vee
No party games, no mistletoe
Just whistle "Wenceslas," and out you go
There are no lights on our Christmas tree
We must not spoil the tele-vee
No party games, no mistletoe
Just whistle "Wenceslas," and out you go
No party games, no mistletoe
Just whistle "Wenceslas," and out you go

Shouting And Pointing

Performer(s): Mott The Hoople
There's trouble coming
I feel it deep in my bones
I can't avoid it, no way
Gotta face it, not gonna be long
It's got me shouting, pointing
panting, begging tonight
I need some people
To see me through it
Loving me right
Gonna pull some tarts together
Better dress them up in leather
Gonna find some kindred spirits
Gonna throw the searchlight in it
Want some volunteers!
You do and you do and you do
Get in to trouble
And maybe you do and you do and you do
Get in to luck
'cos I've been shouting, pointing, panting
And when it's done
We're gonna walk out smiling, laughing
Because we won!
Gonna pull ...
Watch out, they'll get ya
They're hiding under your nose
They'll try to dare you, scare you, snare you
Stand on your toes
'cos they'll be shouting, pointing, panting
And when it's done
We're gonna settle down a-loving, and a-howling
Because we won
Gonna pull ...
