Tomboy, tomboy, nuthin' but a tomboy,
Tomboy, tomboy, nuthin' but a tomboy . . .

When we were small, i used to call you "tomboy"
The years have flown since you were known as "tomboy"
No made-up face, no fancy lace, pigtails in your hair,
It seems like only yesterday,
You tagged behind me everywhere!

I never thought that i'd get caught by "tomboy" ( tomboy! )
The pink chiffon worked magic on my "tomboy" ( tomboy! )
An' now i find, i've been blind,
You were always on my mind,
Before i'm through, you'll say i do,
An' "tomboy" will be mine!

Tomboy, tomboy, nuthin' but a tomboy,
Tomboy, tomboy, nuthin' but a tomboy . . .

O holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night
Of the dear saviour's birth!

Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
'till he appeared
And the soul felt it's worth!

A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks
A new an' glorious morn!

Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when christ was born

O night divine o night,
O night divine!

Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when christ was born

O night divine o night,
O night divine!

O holy night
O night divine

You're turnin' night into day!
Sleepy time gal,
You've danced the ev'ning away!

Before each silvery star fades out of sight,
Please give me one little kiss, then let us whisper "goodnight,"
It's gettin' late and, dear, your pillow's waitin' . . .
Sleepy time gal, when all your dancin' is through,
Sleepy time gal, i'll find a cottage for you.

You'll learn to cook and to sew,
What's more, you'll love it, i know!
When you're a stay-at-home, play-at-home,
Eight o'clock sleepy time gal!
< instrumental repeat of verse >
You'll learn to cook and to sew,
What's more, you'll love it, i know!
When you're a stay-at-home, play-at-home,
Eight o'clock sleepy time gal!

Frosty the snowman,
Was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose,
And two eyes made of coal.

Frosty the snowman,
Is a fairytale, 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 they found,
For when they placed it on his head,
He began to dance around!

Oh, 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.

Frosty, clumsy as he can be
See him lopping along!
Off he goes on an icicle spree
With a happy song!

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,
Runnin' here and there,
All around the square,
Sayin', "catch me if you can."

He led them down the streets of town,
Right to the traffic cop . . .
And only paused a moment,
When he heard him holler, "stop!"

Hmm, frosty the snowman,
Had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye, sayin' "don't you cry,
I'll be back again some day."

Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump . . .
Look at frosty go!
Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump . . .
Over the hills of snow!

Onward, christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of jesus,
Going on before!

Christ the royal master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See his banners go!

Onward, christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of jesus,
Going on before!

Like a might army
Moves the church of god!
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod!

We are not divided,
All one body we,
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity!

Onward, christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of jesus,
Going on before!

Onward. then, ye people!
Join our happy throng!
Blend with ours your voices,
In the triumph song!
Glory laud and honour,
Unto christ the king,
This through countless ages,
Men and angels sing.

Onward, christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of jesus,
Going on before!
Amen

God rest ye merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
Remember christ our saviour,
Was born on christmas day . . .

To save us all from satan's power,
When we were gone astray,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . .

From god our heavenly father,
A blessed angel came,
And unto certain shepherds,
Brought tidings of the same . . .

How, that in bethlehem was born,
The son of god by name,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . .

<instrumental break >

Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . .

The shepherds at these tidings,
Rejoiced much in mind,
And left their flocks a feeding,
In tempest storm and wind,
And went to bethlehem straight way,
The blessed babe to find,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . .

What a beautiful noise
Comin' up from the street!

Of a train on a track

Moon shinin' bright, up in the sky,
Looks down on me and i know why,
Even the stars up in the blue,
Seem to be shining for no one but you!

Honey, honey, bless your heart,
You're the "honey" that i love so well!
I'd die for you, if you'd only be true,
You're the "honey" that i love so well"

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You could 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."

< instrumental break >

You know dasher an' dancer,
An' prancer an' vixen,
Comet an' cupid, an' donner an' blitzen,
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?

You'll go down, down, down, down, down,

Are you thinkin' of me? ( are you thinkin' of me? )

If i knew that you loved just me,
Say it's true, say ya do,

Oh, what did della wear boy,
What did della wear?
What did della wear boy,
What did della wear?

She wore a bran' new jersey,
She wore a bran' new jersey,
She wore a bran' new jersey,
That's what she did wear.

One, two, three, four!

Oh, why did calla

Far away places, with strange soundin' names,
Far away over the sea . . .
Those far away places, with the strange soundin' names,
Are callin', callin' me . . .

Goin' to china or maybe siam,
I wanna see for myself . . .
Those far away places, i've been readin' about,
In a book that i took from a shelf . . .

I start gettin' restless whenever i hear
The whistle of a train . . .
I pray for the day i can get under way
And look for those castles in spain!

They call me a dreamer, well maybe i am,
But i know that i'm burnin' to see
Those far away places, with the strange soundin' names,
Callin' . . . callin' . . . me . . .

Kiss me, kiss me baby,
That's what i like!
Hold me, hug me, pet me baby,
That's what i like!

You don't have to give me,
Clever conversation!
I just want affection,
Not an education!

Kiss me, hold me, hug me baby,
That's what i like you to do!
Love me, love me,
Love me baby too!

Ho-ly god, we praise thy name;
Lord of all, we bow be-fore thee!
All on earth thy scep-ter claim,
All in heav-en a-bove a-dore thee;
In-fin-ite thy vast do-main,
Ev-er-last-ing is thy reign.

Hark! the loud ce-les-tial hymn
An-gel choirs a-bove are rais-ing,
Cher-u-bim and ser-a-phim,
In un-ceas-ing chor-us prais-ing;
Fill the heav-ens with sweet ac-cord:
Ho-ly, ho-ly, ho-ly, lord.

Lo! the a-pos-tol-ic train
Join the sa-cred name to hal-low;
Pro-phets swell the loud re-frain,
And the white-robed mar-tyrs fol-low;
And from morn to set of sun,
Through the church the song goes on.

Ho-ly fa-ther, ho-ly son,
Ho-ly spir-it, three we name thee;
While in es-sence on-ly one,
Un-di-vid-ed god we claim thee;
And a-dor-ing bend the knee,
While we own the mys-ter-y.

Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who stilled the water . . .
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who calmed the sea . . .
Take a look at yourself,
And you can look at others differently,
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man
From the galilee!

Every time i look into the holy book
I want to tremble . . .
When i read about the part where the carpenter
Cleared the temple . . .
For the buyers and the sellers were no different fellas
Than what i profess to be,
And it causes me shame to know
I'm not the guy that i should be!

< repeat chorus >

Mamma taught me how to pray
Before i reached the age of seven . . .
She said: there'll come a time when we'll probably need a room
In heaven!
And i'm feeling kinda guilty

When i need you,
I just close my eyes and i'm with you
And all that i so want to give you,
It's only a heartbeat away!

When i need love,
I hold out my hands and i touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night an' day!

A thousand miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can take the place of your smile
But you know i won't be travellin' forever
It's cold out, but hold out an do like i do!

When i need you,
I just close my eyes and i'm with you
And all that i so want to give you,
It's only a heartbeat away!

It's not easy when the road is goodbye, love! ( goodbye, love! )
Honey, that's a heavy load that we bare!

But you know i won't be travellin' a lifetime!
It's cold out, but hold out
An do like i do!

When i need love,
I hold out my hands and i touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night an' day!

When it's cold out,
Hold out an do like i do
When i need you!

Love, look at the two of us,
Strangers, in many ways,
We've got a lifetime to share,
So much to say,
And, as we go, from day to day,
I'll feel you close to me,
But, time alone will tell,
Let's take a lifetime to say,
"i knew you well!"
For only time will tell us so,
And love may grow,
For all we know!

I had the craziest dream last night, yes i did!
I never dreamed it could be,
Yet there you were, in love with me.

I found your lips close to mine, so i kissed you,
And you didn't mind it at all!
When i'm awake, such a break never happens,
How long can a guy go on dreamin' ?

If there's a chance that you care, then please,
Say you do baby!
Say it and make my craziest dream come true.

We kiss in a shadow
We hide from the moon
Our meetings are few
And over too soon!

We speak in a whisper
Afraid to be heard
When people are near
We speak not a word!

Alone in our secret
Together we sigh
For one smiling day
To be free!

To kiss in the sunlight
And say to the sky
Behold and believe what you see
Behold how my lover loves me!

< instrumental break >

To kiss in the sunlight
And say to the sky
Behold and believe what you see
Behold how my lover loves me!

No . . . not the roosevelt's, not the truman's,
Not the eisenhower's no, this is not that kind of show!
Not the kennedy's, no not the kennedy's,
Just a family of four, so it couldn't be the kennedy's
With the kennedy's there'd have to be more than four
Just a simple american, not one of the "greats"
But he happens to be president of these united states!

Nearer, my god to thee,
Nearer to thee,
Even though it be a cross,
That raiseth me . . .

Still, all my song shall be,
Nearer, my god to thee,
Nearer, my god to thee,
Nearer to thee . . .

Though like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone . . .

Yet in my dreams i'll be,
Nearer, my god to thee,
Nearer, my god to thee,
Nearer to thee . . .

There let the way appear,
Steps unto heaven,
All that thou sendest me,
In mercy given!

Angels to beckon me,
Nearer, my god to thee,
Nearer, my god to thee,
Nearer to thee . . .

Someone who cares,
Someone who dares to love you,
Someone who thinks enough of you,
To always be willing to share . . .

Someone who gives,
Someone who lives inside you,
Someone who'll be strong beside you,
Through all the days that you live . . .

I've made up my mind that you're gonna love me,
I've made in my heart a soft place for you,
Come, stay with me, dream with me,
Sleep while the morning's new . . .

Someone who dreams,
Of being in your mind tomorrow,
Sharing your joys and your sorrow,
Helping you see what it means,
To be loved!

When you were a kid
And you wanted a "doll"
You got it!
Don't ask how you did,
But when you were a kid
And you wanted a "doll"
You got it!
You carefully laid out a plan,
When you were a kid
'twas a doll . . .

And now it's a man!

I'm gonna get em!
I'm gonna get em!
Instead of givin' up
An' throwin' in the towel
I'm gonna keep on fightin'
Fair or fowl
Until i get em!
I'm gonna em!

I'm gonna wear my jewels
An' my ermine wrap
An' if i have to drop my shoulder strap
I'm gonna get em!
I'm gonna em!

An' when i've got him
Where i think he otta be . . .
I'm gonna love em, love em
My mission in life will be to "love em"
Until he loves me!

I'm gonna get em!
Hmm, i'm gonna get em!
I'll back him in a corner
'till he squirms an' twists
An' if i must put handcuffs
On his wrists
I'm gonna get em!
I'm gonna get em!

He'll know the facts of life
An' when he understands
I'll put a "shotgun" in my father's hands
An' that'll get em!
I'm gonna em!

An' when i've got him
Where i think he otta be . . .
I'm gonna hug em, hug em
I'll hug em and if i have to slug em
He's gonna love, he's gonna love
He's gonna love me!

The night of the hayride,
The way that we hugged to try to keep warm,
While takin' a sleigh ride.

The heavenly days we spent at the beach
Just ridin' the breakers!
Two balcony seats an' after the show
A soda with bakers!

Everybody hand-in-hand, swingin' down the lane,
Everybody feelin' grand, swingin' down the lane,
That's the time i miss the bliss, that we might have known,
Nights like this, when i'm all alone!

When the moon is on the rise, 'honey' i'm so blue,
Watchin' lovers making eyes, like we used to do,
When the moon is on the wane, still i'm waitin' all in vain,
Should be swingin' down the lane with you!

( theme from "love story" )

Where do i begin ?
To tell the story of how great a love can be,
The sweet love story that is older than the sea,
The simple truth about the love she brings to me,
Where do i start ?

With her first hello!
She gave a meaning to this empty world of mine,
There'd never be another love, another time,
She came into my life and made the living fine,
She fills my heart . . .

She fills my heart with very special things,
With angels' songs , with wild imaginings,
She fills my soul with so much love,
That anywhere i go, i'm never lonely,
With her along, who could be lonely ?
I reach for her hand, it's always there . . .

How long does it last ?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day ?
I have no answers now, but this much i can say,
I know i'll need her 'till the stars all burn away
And she'll be there . . .

She'll be there . . .

Oh! there's no place like home for the holidays,

Some enchanted evening, you may see a stranger
You may see a stranger across a crowded room,
An' somehow you know, you know even then,
That somewhere you'll see her again and again!

Some enchanted evening, someone may be laughing
You may hear her laughing across a crowded room,
An' night after night as strange as it seems
The sound of her laughter will sing in your dreams!

Who can explain it, who can tell you why,
Fools give you reasons, wise men never try!

Some enchanted evening, when you find your true love
When you hear her call you across a crowded room,
Then fly to her side and make her your own
Or all thru your life you may dream all alone!

Once you have found her,
Never let her go!

Once you have found her,
Never let her go!

Oh! what a trip!
What a wonderful trip!
And to think that i was worried
At the start of the trip!
I must confess that i was filled with doubt
But there was really nothing to worry about!

They love me, they love me!
I'm welcome everywhere with open arms!
They love me, they love me!
I never knew i had so many charms!

In pakistan they took be sailing on a lovely lake
In india they let be see a mongoose kill a snake
Because they love me, they love me
An' they want me to come back again!

They love me, they love me!
In tokyo they think that i'm a "dream"
They claimed me an' named me
"america's ambassador supreme"

They always have a banquet
On the day that i arrive
In borneo they made me eat
An octopus "alive!"
Because they love me? . . . they love me
An' they want me to come back again!

They love me, they love me!
With every place i visit it's the same!
They meet me, an' greet me!
With every kind of present you can name!

A chieftain in new guinea
With his forehead painted "red"
Presented me with a poison arrow
An' a "shrunken head"
Because they love me . . . oh they love me
An' they want me to come back again!

They love me, they love me!
I smile when i'm presented with a key!
In thailand 'twas my land
I spent a happy day from two to three!

The day i left arabia
My seat was full of bumps . . .
They made me ride a camel
Where i sat between the humps!
Because they love me . . . they love me
An' they want me to come back
They want me to come back
They want me to come back again!

'twas just a garden in the rain,
Close to a little leafy lane
A touch of colour 'neath skies of gray!

The raindrops kissed the flower beds
The blossoms raised their thirsty heads
A perfumed thank you they seem to say!

Surely here was charm beyond compare to view
Maybe it was just that i was there
With you!

'twas just a garden in the rain,
But then the sun came out again
And sent us happily on our way!

Surely here was charm beyond compare to view
But, maybe it was just that you were there dear,
You were so lovely!

'twas just a garden in the rain,
But then the sun came out again
And sent us happily on our way!

Just a garden in the rain!

It seems we stood an' talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But i can't remember where or when

The clothes you're wearing
Are the clothes you wore
The smile you were smiling
You were smiling then
But i can't remember where or when

Some things that happened for the first time
They seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
Laughed before and loved before
But who knows where or when?

< instrumental break >

Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
Laughed before and loved before
But who knows where or when?

. . . who knows where or when?

When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, i'll dry them all,
I'm at your side,
Oh! when times get rough,
And friends just can't be found . . .

Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!

When you're down an' out, when you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard, i will comfort you,
I'll take your part,
Oh! when darkness comes,
And pain is all around . . .

Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!

Sail on silver girl, sail on by,
Your time has come to shine, all your dreams are on their way,
See how they shine,
Oh! when you need a friend,
I'm sailing right behind . . .

Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will ease your mind!
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will ease your mind!

When i'm alone at night,
And there's no one to comfort me,
I think of you . . .
And suddenly my pillow is your face and your arms.
And when the winter wind comes chasin' after me,
I think of you . . .
And it's as though i crawl beneath the blanket
Soft and warm.

How did i get from dark to daylight,
Before you happened to pass by?
How did i find my way through life,
Before you brightened up my sky?
Was there a sky at all,
Until you painted it for me?
How did i get on,

Your sweet expression, the smile you gave me,
The way you looked when we met,
It's easy to remember, but so hard to forget!

I hear you whisper, "i'll always love you,"
I know it's over, and yet,
It's easy to remember, but so hard to forget!

So i must dream to have your hand caress me,
Fingers press me tight,
I'd rather dream than have that lonely feelin'
Stealing through the night!

Each little moment is clear before me,
And though it brings me regret,
It's easy to remember, and so hard to forget!

< instrumental break >

( hmmmmmm )

It's easy to remember, and so hard to forget!

Alone from night to night you'll find me,
Too weak to break the chains that bind me,
I need no shackles to remind me,
I'm just a prisoner of love!

For one command i stand and wait now,
From one who's master of my fate now,
I can't escape for it's too late now,
I'm just a prisoner of love!

What's the good of my caring,
If someone is sharing those arms with me!
Although she has another,
I can't have another, for i'm not free!

She's in my dreams awake or sleeping,
Upon my knees to her i'm creeping,
My very life is in her keeping,
I'm just a prisoner of love . . .

What's the good of my caring,
If someone is sharing those arms with me!
Although she has another,
I can't have another, for i'm not free!

She's in my dreams awake or sleeping,
Upon my knees to her i'm creeping,
My very life is in her keeping,
I'm just a prisoner of love . . .

Joy to the world! the lord is come;
Let earth receive her king.
Let ev'ry heart prepare him room,
And heav'n and nature sing ( and heav'n and nature sing! )
And heav'n and nature sing ( and heav'n and nature sing! )
And heav'n and heav'n and nature sing.

< instrumental >

Joy to the world! the saviour reigns;
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy ( repeat the sounding joy! )
Repeat the sounding joy ( repeat the sounding joy! )
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

< instrumental >

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness,
And wonders of his love ( and wonders of his love! )
And wonders of his love ( and wonders of his love! )
And wonders, and wonders of his love.

Hi boys and girls, i'm perry como,
And i'm gonna tell you the most wonderful story in the whole world,
The story of the first christmas!

Now suppose you make believe this is many, many years ago,
A long time before you were born!
You're standing on a hillside, near a little town in palestine,
Do you see the man in the distance, walking slowly, leading a donkey?
His name is joseph!
And riding on the donkey is mary.
They've come a long, long way,
And they're heading for the town near the hillside,
On which we're standing!
Something very special will happen in this town tonight!
For this is the little town of bethlehem!

Oh little town of bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie,
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,
The silent stars go by!
Yet in thy dark streets shineth,
The everlasting light!
The hopes and fears of all the years,
Are met in thee tonight!

Now let's follow joseph and mary into bethlehem,
It's getting dark and all the rooms at the inn are taken,
So they spend the night at a stable.
Now i told you something special was gonna happen, and it did!
A baby boy is born to mary,
And they called him jesus.
They had no baby's crib, so mary puts little jesus to sleep,
In the soft sweet hay of a manger!

Come, come, come to the manger,
Little lord jesus is born on this day!

Now while jesus lies in the manger asleep,
Let's tiptoe back to the hillside near bethlehem,
Where the shepherds tend their flock.
All at once the shepherds are frightened,
You'd be frightened too,
Because a great light suddenly shines in the sky!
Even the animals are hushed and still,
But then you hear the voice of an angel of the lord!
And you're no longer frightened,
For the angel brings good news,
News of a saviour born this day,
News of christ the lord!

The first noel! the angels did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds,
In fields as they lay,
Noel, noel, noel, noel!
Born is the king of israel!

Now boys and girls,
Remember, we're still making believe we're with the shepherds and the angel,
On the hillside near bethlehem.
The shepherds ask the angel,
Where to find the christ-child ?
And the angel tells them to go to the manger.
And as they leave the sky is filled with others angels singing,
Glory to god! on earth peace, goodwill, to men!



The shepherds hurry to the manger,
Fall on their knees before the baby,
And they worship him!
For he is christ the lord!

Oh! come all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant!
Oh come ye, oh! come ye, to bethlehem!
Come and behold him,
Born the king of angels,
Oh! come let us adore him,
Oh! come let us adore him,
Oh! come let us adore him,
Christ the lord!

And now, look up into the sky!
See that bright star twinkling in the heavens ?
Far away, three men are looking at that star just as we are!
They're riding on camels,
And they're using the star as a guide to lead them to the christ-child.
Who are these three men who follow the star ?
Let's find out!

We three kings of orient are,
Bearing gifts, we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star!

That's right boys and girls,
The three men on the camels are the three wise men,
The new star guides them to bethlehem,
To a little baby lying in a manger!
There the three wise men present gifts to the christ-child,
The first christmas gifts ever given to anyone,
A gift of gold, of frankincense, and of mir!
The wise men fall on their knees to worship him,
A great peace settles on the night,
For it's the holy night!

Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright,

Do you recall that night in june when first we met?
Do you remember love the words we spoke?
Have you forgotten all the tender vows we made
In the silent magical moonbeams light?

Gone are the golden dreams
With summer roses,
And all of our tender-est vows
Were made but to be broken . . .

Song of songs,
Song of memory,
And broken melody of love and life
Nevermore to me
Can that melody
Fill the heart
With the joy once it knew . . .

Oh night of bliss, night of june and love
Beneath the stars amid the roses . . .
Oh dream of delight that faded at dawn
Oh song of songs,
Oh night of bliss,
When you were my whole world of love!

< instrumental break >

When you were my whole world of love . . .
Of love!

Feelings, nuthin' more than feelings,
Tryin' to forget my,
Feelings of love . . .

Teardrops, rollin' down on my face,
Tryin' to forget my,
Feelings of love . . .

Feelings, for all my life i'll feel it,
I wish i'd never met you girl,
You'll never come again . . .
( you'll never come again, never, never ! )

Feelings, oh oh oh feelings,
Oh oh oh feel you,
Again in my arms . . . ( again, again! )

( feelings, feelings like i've never lost you,
And feelings like i've never held you again in my arms! )

Feelings, for all my life i'll feel it,
I wish i'd never met you girl,
You'll never come again . . .
( you'll never come again, never, never ! )

Feelings, oh oh oh feelings,
Oh oh oh feel you,
Again in my arms . . . ( again, again! )

Again in my arms!

Empty pockets but a heart full of love
A heart full of love for you
Cash? not any, not one red penny
But kisses many, for you!

Empty pockets but a heart beating fast
As true as the stars above
Please say that you'll get by with just a guy
With empty pockets filled with love!

You can't eat love, you can't drink love
You can't wear love, like you would a gown
I trust love but "just" love won't pay for caviar
Won't buy that motor car, or a house in town!

You can't spend love, you can't lend love
You must end love when the chips are down!
Love flies out the window when there's nothin' to eat
Nothin' to drink, nothin' to wear but a frown
An' the chips are down!

< repeat verses 1 & 2 with 3 & 4 together >

I remember to this day,
The bright red georgia clay,
How it stuck to the tires after the summer rain . . .
Will-power made that ol' car go,
A woman's mind told me that it's so,
Oh! how i wish we were back on the road again . . .

Me an' you an' a dog named boo,
Travelin' and livin' off the land . . .
Me an' you an' a dog named boo,
How i loved bein' a free man . . .

I can still recall,
The wheat fields of st. paul,
And the mornin' we got caught robbin' from an old hen . . .
Old macdonald, he made us work,
But then he paid us for what it was worth,
Another tank of gas an' back on the road again . . .

< repeat chorus >

Well, i'll never forget that day,
We motored stately into big l.a.
The lights of the city put settling-down in my brain . . .
Though it's only a month or so,
That ol' car is a buggin' us to go,
You gotta get away,
Get back on the road again . . .

< repeat chorus >
< repeat chorus >

In our hide-away,
Far from all the fuss that bothers us
We'll hide-away, we two!
In our hide-away ( in our hide-away . . . )
We'll be all alone, no telephone to worry me or you!

We will have a ball,
Busy doin' nothing at all!

In our hide-away ( in our hide-away . . . )
We will lock the door an' throw away the key
What a holiday, our hide-away will be!

In our hide-away,
Far from all the fuss that bothers us
We'll hide-away, we two!
In our hide-away, we'll be all alone,
No telephone to worry me or you!

We will have a ball,
Busy doin' nothing at all!

In our hide-away ( in our hide-away . . . )
We will lock the door an' throw away the key
What a holiday, our hide-away will be!

What a holiday,
Our hide-away will be!

The "secret service" makes me nervous
When i am dating they are waiting to observe us
When i get ready to hold steady for the "kiss" you plan
The "secret service" makes me nervous and i can't!

They're always spying, no denying
They're always peeping, gumshoe creeping, private eying
When i'm beginning to give-inning like a maiden aunt
The "secret service" makes me nervous and i can't!

I've been exposed beyond control
Just like a "goldfish" in a bowl!

The president's daughter must drink water
No drink of "scotch" she might do what she hadn't otter
When i'm ignited, so excited that i start to "pant"
The "secret service" makes me nervous
When my lamps are lit
And i say "this is it!"

. . . the "secret service" makes me nervous
And i can't!

The "secret service" makes me nervous
Those white house "dicks" get all their kicks
When they observe us!
Just as i wind up, make my mind up, not to say "i won't"
The "secret service" makes me nervous and i don't!

When things look "rosy" they get nosy
They'll say there's "tootsie" playing "footsie" very cosy
My pulse goes higher, i'm on fire, shakin' at the knees
The "secret service" makes me nervous and i freeze!

Whatever i may do or say
Will be reported the next day!
They don't see clearly when i'm merely being courted
When i'm just "necking" simply "pecking" with a "cary grant"
They stand behind me to remind me "who" and "what" i am
. . . when i don't give a "?x?x" ( ooh ahh ahh! )
The "secret service" makes me nervous and i can't!

This time we almost made the pieces fit,
Didn't we girl?
This time we almost made some sense of it,
Didn't we girl?

This time i held the answer
Right here in my hand,
Then i touched it
And it had turned to sand!

This time we almost sang our songs in tune,
Didn't we girl?
This time we almost made it to the moon,
Didn't we girl?

This time we almost made
Our poem rhyme,
This time we almost made
That long, long climb
Didn't we almost make it,
This time?

. . . didn't we almost make it,
This time?

( how long must i dream? )

Sweet dream baby!
Sweet dream baby!
Sweet dream baby!
How long must i dream?

Dream baby,
Got me dreamin' sweet dreams,
The whole day through!

Dream baby,
Got me dreamin' sweet dreams,
Night time too!

I'll love you, an' dreamin' of you,
But that won't do!

Dream baby,
Make me stop a dreamin'
You can make my dream come true!

Sweet dream baby! ( dream baby, sweet dream baby! )
Sweet dream baby! ( dream baby, sweet dream baby! )
Sweet dream baby! ( dream baby, sweet dream baby! )
How long must i dream?

This is perry como . . .
And i'd like to tell you the most wonderful, the most beautiful,
The most exciting story in the whole world,
The story of the first christmas!

Now suppose you make believe this is many, many years ago,
A long time before you were born!
You're standing on a hillside, near a little town in palestine,
Do you see the man in the distance, walking slowly, leading a donkey?
His name is joseph!
Someone is sitting on the back of the donkey,
And her name is mary!
They've come a long, long way,
And they're heading for a little town near the hillside,
On which we're standing!
Something very special will happen in this little town tonight!
For this is the little town of bethlehem!

Oh little town of bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie,
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,
The silent stars go by!
Yet in thy dark streets shineth,
The everlasting light!
The hopes and fears of all the years,
Are met in thee tonight!

Let's follow joseph and mary into the town of bethlehem,
It's getting dark and all of the rooms at the inn are taken,
But the kindly innkeeper tells them
They could spend the night at a stable nearby!

Now i told you something was gonna happen, and it did!
A baby boy is born to mary and joseph,
Whom they call jesus!
They have no baby's crib, so mary puts little jesus to sleep,
In the soft sweet hay of a manger!

Come, come, come to the manger,
Children sing and asleep on the hay,
Sing, sing, chorus of angels,
Little lord jesus is born on this day!

Jesus is asleep in the manger,
So let's tiptoe out to the hillside near bethlehem,
Where the shepherds are tending their flock.

All at once the shepherds are frightened,
You'd be frightened too,
Because a great light suddenly shines in the sky!
Even the animals are hushed and still,
But then you hear the voice of an angel of the lord!
And you're no longer frightened,
For the angel brings good news,
News of a saviour born this day,
News of christ the lord!

The first noel! the angels 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!
Noel, noel, noel, noel!
Born is the king of israel!

Well, we're still with the shepherds,
On the hillside near bethlehem.
We hear the shepherds ask the angel,
Where to find the christ-child?
And the angel tells them to go to the manger.
And as they leave the sky is filled with other angels singing,
Glory to god! and on earth peace, goodwill, to men!



The shepherds hurry to the manger,
Fall on their knees before the baby,
And they worship him!
For he is christ the lord!

Oh! come all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant!
Oh come ye, oh come ye, to bethlehem!
Come and behold him,
Born the king of angels,
Oh! come let us adore him,
Oh! come let us adore him,
Oh! come let us adore him,
Christ the lord!

And now, look up into the sky!
Do you see that bright star twinkling in the heavens?
Far away, three men are looking at that star just as we are!
They're riding on camels,
And they're using the star as a guide to lead them to the christ-child.
Who are these three men who follow the star?

We three kings of orient are,
Bearing gifts, we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star!

Yes, the three men on the camels are the three wise men,
The new star guides them straight to bethlehem,
To a little baby lying in a manger!
There the three wise men present gifts to the christ-child,
The first christmas gifts ever given to anyone,
A gift of gold, of frankincense, and of mir!

And they too fall on their knees to worship him,
And now, a great peace settles on the night,
For it is the holy night!

Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright,

Till the end of time,

Oh! there's no place like home for the holidays,
