Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write “I love you”
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Crowded street, busy feet hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hoping that you won't pass him by

Should you stop?, better not, much too busy
You're in a hurry, my how time does fly
In the distance the ringing of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter he cries

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write “I love you”
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen to hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas with every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright and may all your Christmases be white
[ guitar ]
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas...
May your days be merry and bright and may all your Christmases be white

. . .


Sleigh bells ring are you listening in the lane snow is glistening
A beautiful sight we're happy tonight walking in the winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird here to stay is a newbird
He sings a love song as we go alone walking in the winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build the snowman then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say are you merry we'll say no man but you can do the job when you're in town
Later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire
The face on the frame the plans that we made walking in the winter wonderland
[ guitar ]
In the meadow we can build the snowman...
The face on the frame the plans that we made walking in the winter wonderland
Walking in the winter wonderland walking in the winter wonderland

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw him you would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names
They'd 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 all the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer you'll go down in history
[ guitar ]
Then one foggy Christmas Eve...
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer you'll go down in history

. . .


Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh
Over 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...
[ guitar ]
A day or two ago I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank and there we got upsot
Jingle bells jingle bells...

. . .


Here comes Santa Claus here comes Santa Claus right down Santa Claus Lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer pulling on the reins
Bells are ringing children singing all is merry and bright
So hang your stockings and say your prayers cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Here comes Santa Claus here comes Santa Claus right down Santa Claus Lane
He's got a bag that's filled with toys for boys and girls again
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle what a beautiful sight
Jump in bed and cover up your head cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Here comes Santa Claus here comes Santa Claus right down Santa Claus Lane
He doesn't care if you're a rich or poor boy for he loves you just the same
Santa knows that we're God's children that makes everything right
Fill your hearts with Christmas cheer cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Here comes Santa Claus here comes Santa Claus right down Santa Claus Lane
He'll come around when the chimes ring out it's Christmas morn again
Peace on earth will come to all if we just follow the light
Let's give thanks to the Lord above cause Santa Claus comes tonight

I'll have a blue Christmas without you I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing dear if you're not here with me
I'll have a blue Christmas for certain
And when that blue blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue blue Christmas
[ guitar ]
And when those blue heartaches start hurtin'
I'll have a blue mem'ry for certain
You'll be doing alright...
You'll be doing alright...
But I'll have a blue blue Christmas

. . .


Oh you better watch out you better not cry
You better not pout I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's a making a list and he's checking in twice
You're gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He sees you when you're sleeping and he knows when you're awake
He knows when you've been bad or good so be good for goodness sake
Oh you better watch out you better not cry
You better not pout I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
[ guitar ]
And he sees you when you're sleeping...
[ guitar ]

Frosty the snowman was a jolly, happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the snowman is a fairytale they say
He was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day
There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head he 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 day
So he said, let's run and 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 square saying, catch me if you can

He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler, stop
Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye saying, don't you cry, I'll be back again some day

[guitar]

Silent night holy night all is calm all is bright
Round young 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
Glories stream from heaven afar heavely hosts sing hallelujah
Christ the Saviour is born Christ the Saviour is born
[ guitar ]

. . .


O little town of Bethlehem how still we see Thee lie
Above Thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in Thy dark street shineth the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in Thee tonight
Yet in Thy dark street shineth...
[ guitar ]
