Frosty The SnowmanS Nelson and J Rollins

Frosty the Snow Man, was a jolly happy soul

With a corn-cob pipe and a button nose, and two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the Snow Man 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, Oh!

So he said let's run and we'll have some fun now before I melt a way

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 Snow Man had to hurry on his way

But he waved goodbye saying "Don't you cry, I'll be back again some day"

I'll be back again some day"

Hark The Herald Angels Sing

Hark! the herald angels sing, glory to the new-born King

Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners re-conciled.

Joyful all ye nations rise, join the triumph of the skies;

With the angelic hosts proclaim, 'Christ is born in Beth- le-hem'

Hark! the herald angels sing, glory to the new-born King.

Hail, the heaven-born Prince of peace! Hail, the Son of righteous-ness!

Light and life to all he brings, risen with healing in his wings.

Mild he lays his glory by, born that man no more may die,

Born to raise the sons of earth, born to give them sec-ond birth.

Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the new-born King.

I Saw Mummy Kissing Santa ClausTommie Connor 1952

I saw Mummy kissing Santa Claus

Underneath the mistletoe last night.

She didn't see me creep, down the stairs to have a peep

She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep

Then, I saw Mummy tickle Santa Claus

Under-neath his beard so snowy white.

Oh, what a laugh it would have been, if Daddy had only seen

Mummy kissing Santa Claus last night!

Dashing through the snow, in a one horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way

Bells on bob tails ring, making spirits bright

What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song to-night. Oh!

I went out in the snow, and on my back I fell

Oh, the weather out-side is frightful,

But the fire is so de-lightful,

And since we've no place to go,

The lights are turned way down low,

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

When we finally kiss good night,

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 good-byeing,

But as long as you love me so.

Rockin' Around The Christmas TreeJohnny Marks (c) 1958

Rockin' around the Christmas tree, at the Christmas party hop

Mistletoe hung where you can see, ev'ry couple tries to stop.

Rockin' around the Christmas tree, let the Christmas spirit ring

Later we'll have some pumpkin pie, and we'll do some carolling.

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear,

Voices singing, "Let's be jolly, deck the halls with boughs of holly."

Rockin' around the Christmas tree. Have a happy holiday.

Rudolph, The Red-nosed ReindeerJohnny Marks

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 and 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 how the reindeer loved him, as they shouted out with glee

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you'll go down in history

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, had a very shiny nose

And if you ever saw it, you would even say it glows

Silent NightGruber, 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 pe-ace. Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night. Shepherds quake at the sight.

Glories stream from heaven afar. Heavenly hosts sing Allelu-ia!

Christ, the Saviour is born . Christ, the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night. Son of God, love's pure light

Radiant beams from Thy holy face. With the dawn of re- deeming grace

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth. Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

C Em Dm Beneath it's snowy mantle cold and clean

G7 C The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green

C Em Dm The snowbird sings the song he always sings

G7 C And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring

C Em Dm When I was young my heart was young then too

G7 C And anything that it would tell me that's the thing that I would do

C Em Dm But now I feel such emptiness with-in

G7 C For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win

C Em Dm Spread your tiny wings and fly away

G7 C And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day

C Em Dm The one I love forever is un-true G7 C And if I could you know that I would fly away with you

Snowbird Page 1 of 2 WUG 25.10.17


The breeze along the river seems to say

That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay

So little snowbird take me with you when you go

To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow

Spread your tiny wings and fly away

And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day

The one I love forever is un-true

And if I could you know that I would fly away with you

Yeah if I could you know that I would fly away with you

The First Noel, the Angels did say

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay

In fi-elds where they, lay keeping their sheep

On a cold winter's ni-ight that was so deep.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Shining i-in the Ea-st bey-ond them far

And to the earth it gave great light

And so it con- tinued both da-ay and night.


Born is the King of Is- ra-el!

And by the light of tha-at same star

Three Wi-ise men ca-ame from coun- try far

To seek for a King was the-eir intent

And to follow the sta-ar wher- ever it went.

When the red, red, robin comes bob, bob, bobbin' along, along,

Rain may glisten but still I listen for hours and hours.

I'm just a kid again, doin' what I did again, singin' a song

Walking In A Winter WonderlandFelix Bernard and Richard B Smith

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? In the lane, snow is glistening

A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight. Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird. Here to stay is a new bird

He sings a love song, as we go along. Walking in a winter wonder-land.

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, Walking in a winter wonderland.
