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. 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. 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.

My name is Carl But Saint Nick I'm called One month out of the year I hold court in a mall Never seen snow I'm California raised Been the king of this Santa Land here for the last 5 holidays Children and parents line up Waiting anxiously With hopes of a picture and to ask gifts of me I play the part Perfect to a T 'til the gifts have been given and then it's back to old me 11 months a year no one knows who I am As I drift between temporary jobs In my red suit and hat I am where I belong It's good to be the clause I've set my sights on My Mrs. Clause to be In a kiosk by Sears where she sells jewelry I look great with kids I must be on her mind For a man in my powerful place It's just a matter of time I shouldn't wait too long Got to make my move quick Won't have much to offer Come the 26th 11 months out of the year she wouldn't care who I am Without this costume to cover my flaws But I'm irresistible in my glasses and beard It feels good to be the clause My name is Carl But you can call me Nick 5 weeks out of the year I let myself be tricked I'm standing in line Application in hand The work isn't Santa Clause but I'm ho-ho-holding on 'til next year

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun Now, the jingle hop has begun Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell twist 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 a-mingle in the jinglin' feet That's the jingle bell rock, yeah Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun Now, the jingle hop has begun Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell twist 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 pony time, kick up your feet Jingle around the clock Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet That's the jingle bell rock, jingle rock Jingle bell rock, rock, rock

God rest you merry, Innocents, Let nothing you dismay, Let nothing wound an eager heart Upon this Christmas day. Yours be the genial holly wreaths, The stockings and the tree; An aged world to you bequeaths Its own forgotten glee. Soon, soon enough come crueler gifts, The anger and the tears; Between you now there sparsely drifts A handful yet of years. Oh, dimly, dimly glows the star Through the electric throng; The bidding in temple and bazaar Drowns out the silver song. The ancient altars smoke afresh, The ancient idols stir; Faint in the reek of burning flesh Sink frankincense and myrrh. Gaspar, Balthazar, Melchior! Where are your offerings now? What greetings to the Prince of War, His darkly branded brow? Two ultimate laws alone we know, The ledger and the sword -- So far away, so long ago, We lost the infant Lord. Only the children clasp His hand; His voice speaks low to them, And still for them the shining band Wings over Bethlehem. God rest you merry, Innocents, While innocence endures, A sweeter Christmas than we to ours May you bequeath to yours.

What child is this who laid to rest on Mary's lap is sleeping, whom angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping? Raise, raise the song on high! A mother sings her lullaby. Joy, joy, for Christ is born, the babe, the son of Mary. What child is this who lays so sweet while ox and ass lay at his feet. Come have no fear God's children hear, the silent word is pleading. Raise, raise the song on high! A mother sings her lullaby. Joy, joy, for Christ is born, the babe, the son of Mary.

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 appear'd and the soul felt His 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 Oh night divine Oh night when Christ was born Oh night divine, oh night, oh night divine 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 we Let all within us praise His holy name Christ is the Lord, let ever ever praise Thee Noël, Noël Oh night, Oh night divine Noël, Noël Oh night, Oh night divine Noël, Noël Oh, oh night, oh night divine
