Jolly Old St. Nicholas
Jolly old Saint Nicholas, Lean your ear this way!Don’t you tell a single soul what I’m going to say:Christmas Eve is coming soon now, you dear old manWhisper what you’ll bring to me. Tell me if you can.
When the clock is striking twelve,
When I’m fast asleep,Down the chimney tall and
round. With your pack you’ll creep.All the stockings you will find
hanging in a row;Mine will be the shortest one;
You’ll be sure to know.
Johnny wants a pair of skates; Susie wants a toy.
Nancy wants a storybook-one to bring her joy.
As for me, I’m not too sure, So I’ll say “Good night.”
Choose for me, dear Santa Claus, what you think is right.
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixon
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen,
But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny noiseAnd if you ever saw it, you would even say it
glows.All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say,“Rudolph with your nose so
bright, won’t you guide my sleigh
tonight?Then how the reindeer loved
him as they shouted out with
glee;“Rudolph the red-nosed
reindeer, you’ll go down in history!”
Jingle BellsDashing through the snow,
in a one-horse open sleigh,O’er the fields we go, Laughing all the way.Bells on Bobtail ring, making spirits bright;
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight!
Jingle Bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!Oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one-horse open sleigh!Jingle Bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh!
(repeat whole song)
Frosty the Snowman
Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soulWith a corncob pipe and a button nose
and two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow but the children knowHow he came to life
one day
There must have been some magic in thatOld silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his headHe 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 the snowman knew the sun was hot that daySo 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
Running here and there all around the squareSaying, “Catch me if you can.”
He led them down the streets of townRight to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler “Stop!”
For Frosty the snow man had to hurry on his wayBut he waved goodbye saying,
“Don’t you cry I’ll be back again some day.”
Children, Go Where I Send TheeChildren, go where I send thee;
How shall I send thee?I will send thee one by one.
Well, one was the little bitty baby, Wrapped in swaddling clothing,
Lying in the manger.Born, born, born in Bethlehem.
Children, go where I send thee; How shall I send thee?I will send thee one by one.Well, one was the little bitty baby, Wrapped in swaddling clothing,Lying in the manger.Born, born, born in Bethlehem.
Two was for Paul and SilasThree was the three men ridingFour was the four who come
a-knocking at the doorFive was the gospel preachersSix was the six that couldn’t be fixedSeven was the seven who went to heaven.Eight was the eight who stood by the gate.Nine was the nine who saw the sign.Ten was the ten commandments.
Silent NightSilent night, holy night,All is calm; all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child,Holy Infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,Sleep in heavenly peace.
(repeat)
