Silver Bells 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 ev'ry street corner you'll hear
Hear the snow crunch See the kids bunch This is Santa's big scene And above all this bustle You'll hear Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them sing Soon it will be Christmas day
Silver bells silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them sing Soon it will be Christmas day Strings of street lights Even stop lights Blink a bright red and green As the shoppers rush home with their treasures

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. Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go. Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow.
Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day, So he said, "Let's run and we'll 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!" For Frosty the snow man had to hurry on his way, But he waved goodbye saying, "Don't you cry, I'll be back again some day." Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go. Thumpetty thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow.

Here Comes Santa Claus Gene Autry, Oakley Haldeman (c) 1947
Ho!
Here comes Santa Claus! Here comes Santa Claus! Right down Santa Claus Lane! Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer are pulling on the reins. Bells are ringing, children singing; All is merry and bright. 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 is filled with toys for the boys and girls again. Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle, What a beautiful sight. Jump in bed, cover up your head, 'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight!
Merry Christmas!

Jingle-bell Rock Jingle-bell, jingle-bell, jingle-bell rock, Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring. Snowin’ and blowin’, a bushel of fun, Now the jingle hop has begun. Jingle-bell, jingle-bell, jingle-bell rock, Jingle bells chime in jingle-bell time. Dancin’ and prancin’ 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 glidin’ in a one-horse sleigh. Giddy-up jingle horse; pick up your feet; Jingle around the clock.
Mix and mingle in a-jinglin’ beat; That’s the jingle-bell rock. Jingle-bell, jingle-bell, jingle-bell rock, Jingle bells chime in jingle-bell time. Dancin’ and prancin’ 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 glidin’ in a one-horse sleigh. Giddy-up jingle horse; pick up your feet; Jingle around the clock. Mix and mingle in a-jinglin’ beat; That’s the jingle-bell That’s the jingle-bell That’s the jingle-bell rock.

Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh Through the fields we go Laughing all the way. Bells on bob-tail 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, O Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh. 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
y r r e M m t as! s i r h "We're no ordinary dealer!"
Chorus A day or two ago The story I must tell I went out on the snow And on my back I fell; A gent was riding by In a one-horse open sleigh He laughed at me as I there sprawling laid But quickly drove away. Chorus Now the ground is white, Go it while you're young, Take the girls along And sing this sleighing song. Just bet a bob-tailed bay, Two-forty as his speed, Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! You'll take the lead. Chorus

Let It Snow 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 say 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. 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.

O Holy Night O holy night! The stars are brightly shining, it is the night of the dear Savior’s birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining, Till He appeared and the Soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices! O night divine, O night when Christ was born! O night, O holy night, O night divine! Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand. So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming. Here came the wise men from Orient land.
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger; In all our trials born to be our friend. He knows our need, our weakness is no stanger. Behold your King! Before him lowly bend! Behold your King! Before him lowly bend! Truly He taught us to love one another, His law is love and His gospel is peace. Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother. And in his name all oppression shall cease. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise. Let all within us praise His holy Name. Christ is Lord! O praise His name forever! His power and glory ever more proclaim! His power and glory every more proclaim!

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town You better watch out, You better not cry, Better not pout, I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town.
He's making a list, and checking it twice; Gonna’ find out Who's naughty and nice. Santa Claus is coming to town. He sees you when you're sleeping, He knows when you're awake, He knows if you've been bad or good So be good-for goodness sake! O! You better watch out! You better not cry. Better not pout, I'm telling you why. Santa Claus is coming to town. Santa Claus is coming to town.
