Lyrics by Ruth Thornhill Music by Claude Thornhill

Snowfall
Softly
Gently drift down

Snowflakes
Whisper
'Neath my window

Covering trees
Misty lights
Velvet breeze
'Round my doorstep

Gently
Softly
Silent
Snowfall

Covering trees
Misty lights
Velvet breezes
'Neath my window

Gently
And softly
Silent
Snowfall

Drift down
Drift down
Drift down
Snowfall

Music by Jule Styne - Lyrics by Sammy Cahn

The snowman in the yard is frozen hard
He's a sorry sight to see
If he had a brain, he'd complain
I'll bet he wishes he were me

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying
But my dear, we're still goodbye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Snow -
Let it snow --
(snow -- snow --)

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But - the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow...

The snowman in the yard is frozen hard
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Lyrics for "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" by Haven Gillespie, Music by J. Fred Coots
Lyrics for "Santa Man" by Alan Paul

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town

He's makin' a list
Checkin' it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or 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!

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town...to town --

Over there
Santa Claus is comin' so be prepared
Don't you cry or worry go and get your stocking hung
Every little thing to do is done
Santa's list of toys is gone the tree the cue
And don't forget to brush
Every little one
'Cause soon as your sleepin'
Teeth police will come checkin' to see if every pearl is glistenin'
Don't be missin' any spot or they'll tattle-tale ans Santa he won't come

You're dealin' with toyland springs
When he brings the season joy with toys and things
But if you go dancin' Samba through the night
Be warned, beware
Or else you'll scare the hair off of Rudolph and he'll fly from here
That's a fact and then you'll cry and rave and wish that you'd behaved
So heed this warning before morning comes upon you
Go to sleep and goodnight!

(Piano solo)

All the boys and girls dream of Toyland,
Wish that the snowman soon would play
And they are sure to get their wishes met
When they hear the words we say...

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin'
Santa Claus is comin'
Santa Claus is comin' to town
To town!
To town!
Look out old Santa is back - yeah!

Lyrics & music by mel torme & robert wells

Merry christmas -
Merry, merry christmas....

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide 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
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

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 (merry christmas)
Merry christmas to you (to you)

Lyrics by Franz Guber and Joseph Mohr

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
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent Night
Holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glory streams from heaven afar
Heavenly host sing alleluia
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born

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
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth

Lyrics by Wihla Hutson, Music by Alfred Burt

Caroling, caroling now we go
Christmas bells are ringing
Caroling, caroling through the snow
Christmas bells are ringing

Joyous voices sweet and clear
Sing the sound of heart to cheer
Ding dong, ding dong
Christmas bells are ringing

Caroling, caroling through the town
Christmas bells are ringing
Caroling, caroling up and down
Christmas bells are ringing

Harmony _________the song we sing
Gladsome tidings now we bring
Ding dong, ding dong
Christmas bells are ringing

Caroling, caroling near and far
Christmas bells are ringing
Following, following yonder star
Christmas bells are ringing

Sing we now this happy morn
For the King of heaven is born
Ding dong, ding dong
Christmas bells are ringing

Ding dong, ding dong
Christmas bells are ringing

Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
While the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true

Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy Holidays to you

It's the holiday season
And Santa Claus is coming back
The Christmas snow is white on the ground
When old Santa gets into town
He'll be coming down the chimney, down
Coming down the chimney, down

It's the holiday season
And Santa Claus has got a toy
For every good girl and good little boy
He's a great big bundle of joy
He'll be coming down the chimney, down
Coming down the chimney, down

He'll have a big fat pack upon his back
And lots of goodies for you and me


So leave a peppermint stick for old St. Nick
Hanging on the Christmas tree

It's the holiday season
With the whoop-de-do and hickory dock
And don't forget to hang up your sock
"Cause just exactly at 12 o'clock
He'll be coming down the chimney
Coming down the chimney
Coming down the chimney, down!

Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
While the merry bells keep bringing
Happy Holidays to you

Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy Holidays to you
To you
Happy Holiday (repeats to fade)

Lyrics by Alan & Marilyn Bergman, Music by Johnny Mandel

All I want for Christmas is you
You're the gift that's made my dreams all come true -
All I need for Christmas is here
Finding every sweet surprise
Wrapped up in your eyes
Waiting there for me
Underneath the tree

We'll spend the day
Exchanging kisses
Smile and say "What a Christmas this is"

Long before the snowflakes appear
Without bells and mistletoe
or the tinsel's silver glow
You just look at me and oh - Christmas is here

Long before the snowflakes appear
Without bells and mistletoe
or the tinsel's silver glow
You just look at me and oh - Christmas is here

Lyrics and Music by Rev. E. Hamilton Sears

Angels
Hear the angels sing --

It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old (song of old)
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold

Peace on the earth, goodwill to men
From heaven's all gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing

To sing --
Sing (hear the angels sing)

It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old (song of old)
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold

Peace on the earth, goodwill to men
From heaven's all gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing

Sing --
It came upon the midnight clear

Lyrics and Music by Hugh Martin & Ralph Blane

Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
So have yourself a Merry Little Christmas now

Someday soon we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
So have yourself a Merry Little Christmas now

Merry Little Christmas now
A Merry Little Christmas now

Lyrics and Music by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

Now its time to say goodnight
Goodnight, sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Goodnight, sleep tight

Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Goodnight, sleep tight

Now the moon begins to shine
Goodnight, sleep tight

Dream sweet dreams for me --
Dream sweet dreams for you --

Now it's time to say goodnight
Goodnight, sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Goodnight, sleep tight
