Sweet little Jesus Boy
They made You be born in a manguh (manger)
Sweet little Holy chil'
Didn't know who You wus (was)
Didn't know You'd come to save us Lawd
To take our sins away
Our eyes wus bline (was blind)
We couldn't see
We didn't know who You wus (was)
Long time ago You wus bawn (was born)
Bawn in a manguh (manger) low
Sweet little Jesus Boy
De worl' (the world) treat You mean, Lawd
Treat me mean too
But please, Suh, fuhgive (Sir, forgive) us Lawd
We didn't know 'twas You
Sweet little Jesus Boy
Bawn (born) long time ago
Sweet little Holy chil'
An' we didn't know who You wus (was)

Santa had a cup of coffee and he ate a little snack
Thru his pack right over his back
Open the windows of his little shack
And Shouted Oh Dasher and Dancer
Vixen and Blitzen come on here
Were gonna get a-going and spread some cheer
So limber your legs and sharpen your hooves
Cause tonight is the night were gonna jump on the roof
Well the reindeer they were so proud and grand
To take another trip all over the land
They jumped right into thier proper place
To get hepped up for that midnight race
Ol' Santa he shook off the ice and snow
Boarded his sleigh and then yelled "Lets go!"
All the little toys were happy too cause they were so bright and new
A little piano then started to play
Oh Santa began to swing and sway
Thought he heard a toy drum starting to beat
But he found it was just the rhythm of the reindeer feet
The reindeer boogied in the middle of the road
Tonight we have a mighty big load
Dont boogie to the left, now boogie to the right
Do the reindeer boogie this Christmas eve night

The city's decorated up for Christmas
All the stores are open late tonight
People hurry through the frozen streets
I take a walk...
Every child has a thousand wishes
Every window has a thousand lights
Every soul has a need for peace
I take a walk...
There's a star that still outshines the night
You can find it if you close your eyes
And see the light
Take a walk through Bethlehem
Come and kneel before the lamb
Good news for every man
Walk through Bethlehem
Every night another TV special
Merchants counting down the shopping days
But something's missing underneath the tree
I take a walk...
'Cause every heart longs for more than tinsel
Something more than just a holiday
Come and celebrate the baby King
Let's take a walk
You don't have to travel anywhere
Faith and hope and love will bring you there
Bring you there
Take a walk through Bethlehem
Come and kneel before the lamb
Good news for every man
Walk through Bethlehem
. . .

Well it's Christmas time pretty baby
The snow is fallin' on the ground
Yeah, it's Christmas time pretty baby
The snow is fallin' on the ground
Well, you be a real good little baby
Santa Claus is back in town
Got no sleigh with reindeer
Got no sack on my back
You're gonna see me comin'
In a big black cadillac
Well it's Christmas time pretty baby
The snow is fallin' on the ground
Yeah, it's Christmas time pretty baby
The snow is fallin' on the ground
Well, you be a real good little baby
Santa Claus is back in town
Hang up your pretty stockins
Put out the light
Santa Claus is comin'
Down your chimney tonight
Well it's Christmas time pretty baby
The snow is fallin' on the ground
Yeah, it's Christmas time pretty baby
The snow is fallin' on the ground
Well, you be a real good little baby
Santa Claus is back in town

He was her man, she was his wife
And late one winter night
He knelt by her
As she gave birth
But it wasn't his child,
It wasn't his child
Yet still he took him as his own
And as he watched him grow
It brought him joy
But it wasn't his child
It wasn't his child
But like a father he was strong and kind
And I believe he did his best
It wasn't easy for him
But he did all could
His son was different from the rest
It wasn't his child
It wasn't his child
And when the boy became a man
He took his father's hand
And soon the world
Would all know why
It wasn't his child
It wasn't his child
But like a father he was strong and kind
And I believe he did his best
It wasn't easy for him
But he did all could
He grew up with his hands in wood
And he died with his hands in wood
He was God's child,
He was God's child
He was her man
She was his wife
And late one night
He knelt by her
As she gave birth
But it wasn't his child
It was God's child

Away in a manger no crib for his bed
The little lord jesus lay down his sweet head
The stars in the bright sky look down where he lay
The little lord jesus asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing the poor baby wakes
But little lord jesus no crying he makes
I love thee lord jesus look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle 'til morning is night

One day a mother went to prison
To see an eering but precious son
She told the warden
How much she loved him
It did not matter what he had done
She did not bring to him
A parole or pardon free
She brought no silver
(Brought no gold)
No pomp nor style
(Longed to see)
It was a halo bright
Sent down from heaven's light
The sweetest gift
A mother's smile
She left a smile
You can remember
She's gone to heaven
From heartaches free
Those walls around you
Could never change her
You were her baby
And ere will be
She did not bring to him
A parole or pardon free
She brought no silver
(Brought no gold)
No pomp nor style
(Longed to see)
It was a halo bright
Sent down from heaven's light
The sweetest gift
A mother's smile
. . .

We're looking for the king
The new Messiah
We're following the star
Shinging brighter
Old man won't you help us if you can
He shook his head but pointed with 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
There's a new kid in town
Here in Bethlehem
I see you travelled far
Brearing treasures
You say these gifts are for
The new king's pleasures
I have heard that a king might come
But up 'til now there hasn't been one
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
There's a new kid in town
Here in Bethlehem

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've 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'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home i'll be warm
Oh the fire is slowly dying
And my dear, we're still goodbye'ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home i'll be warm
Oh the fire is slowly dying
(My career is slowly dying)
And my dear, we're still goodbye'ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dress up like Eskimos
Everyboy knows a Turkey and some missletoe
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
