1 COMMUNITY CHORUS PROJECT, KIDZU CHILDREN’S MUSEUM
& UNIVERSITY PLACE PRESENT
A HOLIDAY SING ALONG!
Conducted by Caroline Miceli & Accompanied by Scott Schlesinger
JINGLE BELLS
Refrain: 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
Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh
Over fields we go, laughing all the way
Bells on bob tail ring, making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride & sing a sleigh song tonight! (Refrain)
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,
We ran into a drifted bank and there we got upsot. (Refrain)
DECK THE HALLS
Deck the halls with boughs of holly Fa la la la la la la la la
‘Tis the season to be jolly Fa la la la la la la la la
Don we now our gay apparel Fa la la, la la la, la la la
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol Fa la la la la, la la la la
A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben;
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen;
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ev'rywhere you go;
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well,
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas;
Soon the bells will start,
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you
sing right within your heart
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list, he's checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming, Santa Claus is coming to town
See the blazing Yule before us Fa la la la la la la la la
Strike the harp and join the chorus Fa la la la la la la la la
Follow me in merry measure Fa la la la la la la la la
While I tell of Yuletide treasure Fa la la la la la la la la
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows when you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Fast away the old year passes Fa la la la la, la la la la
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses Fa la la la la, la la la la
Sing we joyous, all together Fa la la la la, la la la la
Heedless of the wind and weather Fa la la la la, la la la la
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming, Santa Claus is coming to town
It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev'rywhere you go;
Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.
Hungry after singing? Alfredo’s Pizza Villa &
Red Bowl Asian Bistro are offering a discount on
dinner! Alfredo’s 15% off & Red Bowl 10% off to

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, toys in ev'ry store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door.

2 Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
O Come All Ye Faithful
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem;
Come and behold Him, born the King of angels;
Refrain: Oh come, let us adore Him x 3
Christ, the Lord!
Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God, glory in the highest; (Refrain)
Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning,
Jesus, to Thee be all glory given;
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing; (Refrain)
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
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?
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 & 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 all the reindeer loved him
And they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer you'll go down in history!
The First Noel
The First Noel, the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
Refrain: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, born is the King of Israel!
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night (Refrain)
Let It Snow
Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I've bought 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'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-byeing,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Away in A Manger
Away in a manger, no crib for His bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head;
The stars in the heavens looked 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 till morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray!
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,
And fit us for Heaven to live with Thee there.
Frosty the Snowman
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 fairy tale, 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.
O, 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.
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump,
Look at Frosty go!
Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump,
Over the hills of snow!

3 Silent Night
I’ll Be Home for Christmas
Silent night, holy night, all is calm and all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild, sleep in heavenly peace x 2
I'll be home for Christmas, you can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe and presents by the tree
Silent night, holy night, shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from Heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing, sing Halleluiah
Christ the savior is born x 2
Christmas eve will find me where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams
O Little Town of Bethlehem
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 x 2
O little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in the dark streets shineth the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight
Up On the Housetop
For Christ is born of Mary and gathered all above,
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wond’ring love.
O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth.
And praises sing to God the king,
And peace to men on earth.
Up on the housetop, reindeer pause
Out jumps good ol' Santa Claus
Down through the chimney with lots of toys
All for the little ones, Christmas joys
Refrain: Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go? x 2
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick
First comes the stocking of little Nell
Oh, dear Santa, fill it well
Give her a dolly that laughs and cries
One that will open and shut her eyes (Refrain)
Next comes the stocking of little Will
Oh, just see what a glorious fill
Here is a hammer and lots of tacks
Also a ball and a whip that cracks (Refrain)
Joy to the World
Joy to the world the Lord is come, Let earth receive her king
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing x 2
And heaven and heaven and nature sing
Joy to the world the savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy x 2
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness
And wonders of his love x 2
And wonders, and wonders of his love
The Twelve Days of Christmas
On the twelfth day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me
Twelve drummers drumming
Eleven pipers piping
Ten lords a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
and a partridge in a pear tree
Oh Christmas Tree
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Thy leaves are so unchanging x 2
Your boughs are green in summer’s glow,
And do not fade in winter’s snow.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Thy leaves are so unchanging
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Much pleasure do you bring me x 2
For ev’ry year the Christmas tree
Brings to us all both joy and glee
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Much pleasure do you bring me.

4 Holly Jolly Christmas
Feliz Navidad
Have a holly jolly Christmas, It's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow but have a cup of cheer
Feliz navidad x 3
prospero año y felicidad (repeat)
Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know and everyone you meet
I want to wish you a merry Christmas x 3
from the bottom of my heart (repeat)
Oh ho the mistletoe, hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you, kiss her once for me
The Christmas Song
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.
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
And every mothers child is gonna spy
To see if reindeers 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 x 3 to you
Winter Wonderland
God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman
Sleigh bells ring, are you list'nin?
In the lane, snow is glist'nin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in the winter wonderland
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our savior
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
Have a holly jolly Christmas and in case you didn't hear
Oh, by golly Have a holly jolly Christmas this year
White Christmas
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
Gone away is the blue bird, here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walkin' in the winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say "are you married?" 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
To face unafraid, the plans that we've made
Walkin' in the winter wonderland
Refrain: Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
From God our heavenly father
The blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name (Refrain)
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mister Snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down
When it snows ain't it thrillin', tho' your nose gets a chillin'
We'll frolic and play, the eskimo way
Walkin' in the winter wonderland

5 Jingle Bell Rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square in the frosty air.
What a bright time, it's the right time to rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin’ beat
That’s the Jingle Bell Rock
Hark the Herald Angels Sing
Hark the herald angels sing: "Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth & mercy mild, God & sinners reconciled"
Joyful, all ye nations rise, Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim: "Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing: "Glory to the newborn King!"
Sleigh Ride
Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing, ring-ting-tingle-ing too
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling "you-hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, let's go, Let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with a song of a wintery fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy cozy are we
We've snuggled close together
like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you
There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs we love to sing
without a single stop
At the fireplace where we'll watch the chestnuts pop
Pop, pop, pop
There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things we
remember all through our lives x 2
Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing, ring-ting-tingle-ing too
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling "you-hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you
Do You Hear What I Hear
Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky little lamb, do you see what I see?
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite x 2
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song, high above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea x 2
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know?
In your palace wall mighty king
Do you know what I know?
A Child, a Child, shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold x 2
Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say
The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light x 2
Angels We Have Heard on High
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply echoing their joyous strains.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo! x 2
Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

6 Silver Bells
Baby It’s Cold Outside
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll hear
Silver bells, (silver bells) Silver bells, (silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling (Ring-a-ling) hear them ring (hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of street lights, even stop lights
Blink of bright red an' 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 this bustle you'll hear
Home for the Holidays
Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays,
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly face
For the holidays, you can't beat home, sweet home
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry?
Father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurryMaybe
just a half a drink more - Put some records on while I pour
It’s so late at night - Baby, it's bad out there
Who turned out the light? - No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no sir - Mind if I move in closer?
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in
hurting my pride?
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside
I simply must go – But baby it’s cold outside
The answer is “No” – But baby it’s cold outside
You're welcome has been – How lucky that you dropped in?
So nice and warm – Look out the window at that storm!
I met a man who lives in Tennessee
And he was headin' for Pennsylvania
And some home-made pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks a travelin' down
To Dixie's sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee
The traffic is terrific
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
- Think of my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
- If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay
- Get over that hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside
Oh, baby, it's cold outside x 2
Oh there's no place like home for the holidays,
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
If you want to be happy in a million ways
For the holidays, you can't beat home, sweet home
We Wish You a Merry Christmas
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas. Let your heart be light,
From now on our troubles will be out of sight.
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
Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide 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 up on the highest bough,
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
