Christmas Carols

  (CHOIR)  

We’re walking in the air  

We’re floating in the moonlit sky 

 The people far below are sleeping as we fly  

I’m holding very tight  

I’m riding in the midnight blue 

I’m finding I can fly so high above with you  

Far across the world  

The villages go by like trees  

The rivers and the hills  

The forests and the streams  

Children gaze open mouthed  

Taken by surprise  

Nobody down below believes their eyes  

We’re surfing in the air  

We’re swimming in the frozen sky  

We’re drifting over icy  

Mountains floating by

  It’s the most wonderful time of the year  

With the kids jingle belling  

And everyone telling you be of good cheer  

It’s the most wonderful time of the year  

It’s the hap-happiest season of all 

 With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings  

When friends come to call  

It’s the hap-happiest season of al 

(ALL SING)

  There’ll be parties for hosting  

Marshmallows for toasting 

 And caroling out in the snow  

There’ll be scary ghost stories  

And tales of the glories of  

Christmases long, long ago  

It’s the most wonderful time of the year  

There’ll be much mistletoeing  

And hearts will be glowing  

When loved ones are near  

It’s the most wonderful time of the yea

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style  

In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas  

Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile 

 And on every street corner you hear  

Silver bells, silver bells  

It’s Christmas time in the city  

Ring a ling, hear them ring  

Soon it will be Christmas day  

(ALL SING)  

Strings of street lights, even stop lights  

Blink a bright red and green  

As the shoppers rush home with their treasures  

Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch  

This is Santa’s big scene  

And above all the bustle you’ll hear  

Silver bells, silver bells  

It’s Christmas time in the city  

Ring a ling, hear them ring  

Soon it will be Christmas Day

You’re a mean one, Mister Grinch, You really are a heel  

You’re as cuddly as a cactus,  

You’re as charming as an eel, Mister Grinch 

 You’re a bad banana with a greasy black peel  

You’re a monster, Mister Grinch, 

Your heart’s an empty hole  

(ALL SING)  

Your brain is full of spiders, 

 You’ve got garlic in your soul, Mister Grinch  (CHOIR) 

 I wouldn’t touch you with a  

Thirty-nine-and-a-half-foot pole.  

You’re a foul one, Mister Grinch, 

You’re a nasty-wasty skunk  

(ALL SING) 

 Your heart is full of unwashed socks,  

Your soul is full of gunk, Mister Grinch  

(Speaker)  

The 3 words that best describe you are as follows,  

and I quote: 

 (ALL SING) 

 Stink, stank, stunk  

You nauseate me, Mister Grinch!! With a nauseous, super naus. 

 (ALL SING)  

You’re a crooked jerkey jockey  

And you drive a crooked hoss, Mister Grinch!  

(Speaker) 

 You’re a three-decker sauerkraut and 

 toadstool sandwich...  

(ALL SING)  

With arsenic sauce

 Children sleeping, snow is softly falling  

Dreams are calling like bells in the distance  

We were dreamers, not so long ago  

But one by one we all seemed to grow up 

 When it seems the magic slipped away  

We find it all again on Christmas Day 

 (Choir)  

Believe in what your heart is saying  

Hear the melody that’s playing  

There’s no time to waste  

There’s so much to celebrate  

Believe in what you feel inside 

 And give your dreams the wings to fly  

You have everything you need  

If you just believe.  

Trains move quickly to their journey’s end  

Destinations are where we begin again  

Ships go sailing far across the sea 

 Trusting starlight to get where they need to be 

 When it seems that we have lost our way  

We find ourselves again on Christmas Da

Silent 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

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht

Alles schläft; einsam wacht

Nur das traute hochheilige Paar.

Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar,

Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh

(ALL SING)

Silent 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

Silent night, holy night,

Son of God, love’s pure light.

Radiant beams from Thy holy face,

With the dawn of redeeming grace,

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen  

Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen  

But do you recall  

The most famous reindeer of all?  

(ALL SING)  

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer  

Had a very shiny nose  

And 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”

Dashing through the snow

In a one-horse open sleigh

O’er the fields we go

Laughing all the way

Bells on bobtails ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight

[Chorus]

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh, hey

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh

[Verse 2]

A day or two ago

I thought I’d take a ride

And soon, Miss Fanny Bright

Was seated by my side

The horse was lean and lank

Misfortune seemed his lot

He got into a drifted bank

And then we got upset

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year

Good tidings we bring to you and your kin

We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year

Oh, bring us some figgy pudding

Oh, bring us some figgy pudding

Oh, bring us some figgy pudding

And bring it right here

Oh! you better watch out

You better not cry

Better not pout, I’m telling you why:

Santa Claus is comin’ to town

He’s making a list

And checking it twice

Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice

Santa Claus is comin’ to town

He sees you when you’re sleepin’

He knows when you’re awake

He knows if you’ve been bad or good

So be good for goodness sake

Oh! You better watch out

You better not cry

Better not pout I’m telling you why:

Santa Claus is comin’ to town
