Some Christmas Songs

Winter Wonderland

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 the new bird.
Singing our song, as we go along,
Walking in a 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,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

​

When it snows, ain't it thrillin'?
Though you know, kids are chillin',
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

​

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown.
We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman,
Until the other kiddies knock him down.

​

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening.
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight,
Walking in a winter wonderland

Silent Night

Feliz Navidad

Silent night, holy night.
All is calm, all is bright.
Around yon 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.
Heavenly hosts sing Al-le-lu-ia!
Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born!

Silent night, holy night.
Son of God, oh, love's pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face.
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth.
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth.
 

Instrumental only version

Warning: Rod singing!

Feliz Navidad.
Feliz Navidad.
Feliz Navidad.
Prospero año y felicidad.

I want to wish you a Merry Christmas.
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas.
I want to wish you a Merry Christmas.
From the bottom of my heart.

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 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"

Intro solo

Main song

Rockin' Around the Christmas tree

Rockin' around the Christmas tree,
At the Christmas party hop.
Mistletoe hung where you can see,
Every 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 caroling.

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.
Everyone dancin' merrily,
In the new old-fashioned way.
