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!

You'll learn to cook and to sew,

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 . . .

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."

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?

As he flew away, he was heard to say:
"a hubba-hubba-hubba yuk yuk!"

Well i gotta go fishin'

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!

( i'm in love with the girl with the golden,
Can't live without the girl with the golden . . . braids! )

I saw a gal with golden hair
Dancin' as i played
Never saw a gal so fair
As the girl with the golden braids!
I was travellin' with a band,
Came to town and stayed
Knew i'd have to seek the hand
Of the girl with the golden braids!

Oh! . . . dance girl, dance an' sway,
Dance an' steal my heart away,
So many fellas stand in line
But i knew you'd be mine!
Yes, you'd be mine!

Knew i had to take a chance,
So i made a trade
Gave my fiddle for a dance
With the girl with the golden braids
Now i'm thru forever more,
Roamin' never paid
Found that life that i adore
With the girl with the golden braids!

Oh! . . . dance girl, dance an' sway,
Dance an' steal my heart away,
So many fellas stand in line

With the girl with the golden braids!
Ever since that night in june,
Life's a rosy shade,
Dancin' on my honeymoon
With the gal with the golden braids!

Oh! . . . dance girl, dance an' sway,
Dance an' steal my heart away,
So many fellas stand in line

The way you wear your hat,
The way you sip your tea,
The mem'ry of all that,
No, no! they can't take that away from me!

The way your smile just beams,
The way you sing off-key,
The way you haunt my dreams,
No, no! they can't take that away from me!

We may never, never, meet again,
On the bumpy road to love,
Still, i'll always, always, keep the mem'ry of . . .

The way we danced 'till three,
The way you changed my life,

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!

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!

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!

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 . . .

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!

Only the shadows of their eyes!

Goin' where the weather suits my clothes!

Bankin' off the north-east wind
Sailin' on a summer breeze
Skippin' over the ocean like a stone!

And whatever you've got to do,
I'd be so happy to be doin' it
With you!

But if you've got somethin' that must be done
An' it can only be done by one,
There is nothin' more to say,
Except it's a lovely day for sayin'
It's a lovely day!

It's a lovely day today,
So whatever you've got to do,
You've got a lovely day to do it in
That's true!

And i hope whatever you've got to do,
It's something that can be done by two,
For i'd really like to stay!

It's a lovely day today,
And whatever you've got to do,
I'd be so happy to be doin' it
With you!

But if you've got somethin' that must be done
And it can only be done by one,
There is nothin' more to say,
Except it's a lovely day for sayin'
It's a lovely day!

< instrumental break >

But if you've got somethin' that must be done
An' it can only be done by one,
There is nothing more to say,
Except it's a lovely day for sayin'

. . . what a lovely day for saying!

It's a lovely day for sayin'
It's a lovely day!

Sleepy time gal,
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!

There must be a way to help me forget that we're through,
There must be a way to stop me from dreaming of you.
There must be a star in the skies that isn't reflecting your eyes,
I just don't know how to disguise, how much i miss you!

There must be a song that doesn't remind me of you,
There must be a kiss to thrill me like yours used to do!
I looked for a way to be happy, happy with somebody new,
Oh there must be a way, but i can't find that way without you!

< instrumental break >

I looked for a way to be happy, happy with somebody new,
Oh there must be a way, but i can't find that way without you!

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

Verse 1

Mother dear, o pray for me!
Whilst far from heav'n and thee.
I wander in a fragile bark,
O'er life's tempestuous sea.
O virgin mother, from thy throne,
So bright in bliss above.
Protect thy child and cheer my path
With thy sweet smile of love.

Verse 2

Mother dear, o pray for me!
Should pleasure's siren lay.
E'er tempt thy child to wander far
From virtue's path away.
When thorns beset life's devious way,
And darkling waters flow.
Then mary aid thy weeping child,
Thyself a mother show.

Chorus

Mother dear, remember me!
And never cease thy care,
'till in heaven eternally,
Thy love and bliss i share.

( she's the first lady, she's the first lady,
She's the first lady of the land! )

She might have been a teacher
A job that she'd adore . . .
She might have been a housewife
A wife and nothing more!
She might have been an actress
Who might have played broadway!
But my husband had to be president ( hmm . . . )
And what am i today?

I'm the "first" lady of the land,
The "first" lady of the land
Standing on a receiving line,
Winding up with an aching spine
Calluses on my receiving hand,
As the "first" lady of the land!

For every week a different hairdo,
Which means another dress
Those meetings with committees,
And sparing with the "press"
Those dreary formal dinners,
When i stay up 'till dawn
Counting all the silver
When the guests have gone!

When they march out in single file,
And i must smile, smile, smile!
I'd rather be the second
Or the third or the forth
Or the fifth or the sixth
Or the seventh instead
Of the "first" lady of the land!

I'm the "first" lady of the land,
The "first" lady of the land
Entertaining at lunch or tea,
Do do-gooders who call on me
Telling of their noble deeds they've planned
For the "first" lady of the land!

And oh the presents that they send me
An awful lot of junk
An un-housebroken poodle
A dehydrated skunk
A turkey for "thanksgiving"
Potat'as in a sack
But when they send me a "diamond"
I must send it back!

When the whole cabinet arrives
And bring their wives, wives, wives!
I'd rather be the second
Or the third or the forth
Or the fifth or the sixth
Or the seventh instead
Of the "first" lady of the land!

Wanted,
Someone who kissed me,
And held me closely,
Then stole my heart!

Wanted,
Someone i trusted,
Who gave no warning,
( that ) we'd ever part!

She was last seen,
Hiding out in someone's arms,
He knew nothing,
Of the danger in her charms!

A jury,
May find her guilty,
But i'd forgive her,
If i could see,
A signed confession,
That she's repented,
And really wanted no one but me!

( repeat )

Can't sleep at night without dreams of you,
And now you fill my daydreams too!

Where you're concerned,
When did this feeling start to grow in me,
Where you're concerned?
Why did it take so long for me to see?
I can't pretend i'm just a friend,
Where you're concerned?

If love is just a game, then i can't play,
Where you're concerned!
I never thought i'd feel this way, but now,
I want to live, just to give,
Where you're concerned!

Can't sleep at night without dreams of you,
And now you fill my daydreams too!

Where you're concerned,
If love is just a game, then i can't play,
Where you're concerned!
I never thought i'd feel this way, but now,
I want to live, just to give,
Where you're concerned!

I have heard the wild bird's sing
So i know what "freedom" is
I have looked into the eyes of a child
So i know what "faith" is
I have seen a rainbow
So i know what "beauty" is
I have planted a tree
So i know what "hope" is
I have held a helping hand
So i know what "kindness" is
I have seen a blossom burst into bloom
So i know what "glory" is
I have lost a friend
So i know what "sorrow" is
I have knelt down in prayer
So i know what "peace" is
I have seen a mother at her crib
So i'm sure of the meaning of "love"
I have seen and i have felt these things
And now i know what "god" is!

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 . . .

I believe, for every drop of rain that falls,
A flower grows . . .

I believe that somewhere in the darkest night,
A candle glows . . .

I believe for everyone who goes astray,
Someone will come, to show the way,
I believe, i believe . . .

I believe, above the storm the smallest prayer,
Will still be heard . . .

I believe, that someone in the great somewhere,
Hears every word . . .

Everytime i hear a newborn baby cry,
Or touch a leaf, or see the sky,
Then i know why, i believe!

I believe, above the storm the smallest prayer,
Will still be heard . . .

Hears every word . . .

Everytime i hear a newborn baby cry,
Or touch a leaf, or see the sky,
Then i know why, i believe!

My youth was spent in the orient
Where they never taught me to waltz
You'd be surprised when i exercised
It was never done to a waltz!
It was "done" like this . . .
But never to a waltz!

In ancient siam, women like i am
Indoors or on the street . . .
No woman . . . dances with her feet!
Egyptian, persian, only one version
No other stands a chance,
Feet are for walking,
Not for dance!

To an oriental fiddle,
You can see them shake their middle,
The feet don't mean a thing
Middles are all they swing!

Even an egyptian "mummy"
Wiggles her tummy
Wiggles it so an' so
That is the only dance ! know!

< instrumental break >

You don't need an arthur murray
Just a fringe that's on the surrey
Will satisfy your needs
Dancing between the beads!

Everybody shake your torso
Sexy but more-so,
Shake it, come on, let's go . . .
Let's do the only dance i know!

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!

Because, you come to me,
With naught save love,
And hold my hand and lift mine eyes above,
A wider world of hope and joy i see,
Because you come to me!

Because you speak to me in accent sweet,
I find the roses waking 'round my feet,
And i am led through tears and joy to thee,
Because you speak to me!

Because god made thee mine,
I'll cherish thee,
Through light and darkness through all time to be,
And pray his love may make our love divine,
Because god made thee mine!

( in a five and ten cent store )

It was a lucky april shower
It was the most convenient door
I found a million dollar baby
In a five an' ten cent store!

The rain continued for an' hour
I hung around for three or four
Around a million dollar baby
In a five an' ten cent store!

She was sellin' china
An' when she made those eyes
I kept buyin' china
Until the crowd got wise!

Incidentally . . .

If you should run into a shower
Just step inside my cottage door
An' meet the million dollar baby
From a five an' ten cent store!

< instrumental repeat of verse >

She was sellin' china
An' when she made those eyes

Until the crowd got wise!

Incidentally . . .

If you should run into a shower
Just step inside my cottage door
An' meet the million dollar baby
The lady that i adore
She's the million dollar baby
From the five . . .
The five an' ten cent store!

Do i want you?
Oh my! do i!
Honey, deed i do!

Do i need you?
Oh my! do i!
Honey, deed i do!

I'm glad that i'm the one who found you,
That's why i'm always hangin' around you . . .

Do i love you?
Oh my! do i!
Honey, deed i do!

< instrumental repeat of verse >

That's why i'm always hangin' around you . . .

Oh! do i love you?
Oh my! do i!
Honey, deed i do!

Ah deed i do!

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!

When first i saw the love-light in your eyes,
I dreamed the world held not but joy for me.
And even though we drifted far apart,
I never dream but what i dream of thee.

I love you as i never loved before,
Since first i met you on the village green.
Come to me or my dream of love is o'r,
I love you as i loved you, when you were sweet,
When you were sweet sixteen.

I love you as i never loved before,
Since first i met you on the village green.
Come to me or my dream of love is o'r . . .
I love you as i loved you, when you were sweet,
When you were sweet sixteen.

( 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,
