Christmas Album

He's the man with all the toys

Someone found a lighted house late one night
And he saw through the window a sight
A big man in a chair
And little tiny men everywhere
He's the man with all the toys

Well how thrilled that someone must have been
And he must have been tempted to go in
He stayed out in the cold
And when he left them he told
About the man with all the toys

He's the man with all the toys

The man with all the toys
He's the man with all the toys

The christmas spirit grows with each new day
And it's so close but seems so far away
And yet it comes only once a year
And 'fore you know it, it's already here
The streets are filled with laughter
And so many hearts are gay

Everybody helps to make the spirit bright
The houses turn on their christmas lights at night
It's worth the wait the whole year through
Just to make happy someone like you
And i'll never outgrow the thrill of christmas day

It's worth the wait the whole year through
Just to make happy someone like you
And i'll never outgrow the thrill of christmas day

It's worth the wait the whole year through
Just to make happy someone like you

I'll have a blue christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinkin' about you
Decorations of red on a green christmas tree
Won't mean a thing if you're not here with me

I'll have a blue christmas, that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doin' all right with your christmas of white
But i'll have a blue, blue christmas

You'll be doin' all right with your christmas of white
But i'll have a blue, blue christmas

Frosty the snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corn-cob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the snowman
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

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 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
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 them holler, "stop!"

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

It's been my secret passion to try it
To spend my christmas surfin', i can't deny it
I wanna spend my christmas on the kona coast in hawaii

For years i saved my pennies and planned it
The great pacific ocean, we'll span it
I wanna spend christmas where i dig it the most, in hawaii

Go to hawaii
Melekalikimaka is "merry christmas" in hawaii talk-a
And at lahaina we'll count the shooting stars
And it will be just you and me in hawaii

The suntanned beauties are everywhere
If you're comin' to the islands then you might stare
And find a girl waiting for you there in hawaii

Kani and wahini and the haoles, too
Wish a melekalikimaka to you
They're the friendliest people anywhere in hawaii

Go to hawaii
Melekalikimaka is how they say it in island talk-a
The island flower fragrance in the air
We'll write a card and underneath the mango trees
We'll say, "wish you were here with us in hawaii"

Winter in the sun and surf'd sure be nice
In a south sea garden paradise
I wanna spend christmas where i dig it the most, in hawaii

Honolulu, waikiki
Do you wanna come along with me?
Waimia up to hanalai
I'd love to take you to the islands today

Holy holy
Halo glowing
Candle burning
Christmas evening

Cold wind blowing
Old man winter
Inward glowing
Outside snowing

Morning christmas
Children love to play
Children laugh
Children love to sing
A christmas song

Holy holy
Halo glowing
Candle burning
Christmas evening

Santa claus is coming to town...

Christmas is a joyous time of year.
But for an underprivileged child, this isn't always true.
This is dennis wilson of the beach boys.
Alan, michael, carl, brian and myself would like to ask
All of you to join in with us in donating a toy to an
Underprivileged children organization, so they, too,
Might possibly share in a very, very happy christmas this year.
Thank you.

I'll be home for christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for christmas
If only in my dreams

I'll be home for christmas
If only in my dreams

I wanna meet santa claus, the real real santa
I wanna meet santa claus, the real real santa
I wanna see santa claus, the real real santa
He wants to meet ol' santa claus

I took my brother to the department store
He wanted to show santa his christmas list
He stood in line and he shook like a leaf
He's only five and a half goin' on six

He said, "is that (that santa) really santa claus,
Really really (the real santa) santa claus?
Is that (that santa) really santa claus, really really santa?
(i hope he doesn't pull santa's beard)
Is that (that santa) really santa claus,
Really really (the real santa) santa?"
Hope he thinks that's santa claus

I picked him up and put him on santa's lap
And then he pulled the pillow out of his shirt
He yanked the beard right on off of his chin
And in his eyes i could see he was hurt

He said, "you're not (not santa) really santa claus,
You're really not (the real santa) santa claus
You're not (not santa) really santa claus,
You're really not santa (he shouldn'ta pulled santa's beard)
You're not (not santa) santa claus,
You're really not (the real santa) santa"
He's just helpin' santa claus

He's just helpin' (helpin' santa) santa claus,
The real (the real santa) real santa
He's helpin' (helpin' santa) santa claus,
The real (the real santa) real santa
He's just helpin' (helpin' santa) santa claus,
The real (the real santa) real santa
He's just helpin' santa claus

He's just helpin' (helpin' santa) santa claus,
The real (the real santa) real santa
He's just helpin' (helpin' santa) santa claus,
The real (he shouldn'ta pulled santa's beard) real santa
He's just helpin' (helpin' santa) santa claus,
The real (the real santa) real santa
He's just helpin' santa claus

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why:
Santa claus is coming to town

He's making a list
He's checking it twice
He's gonna find out
Who's naughty or nice
Santa claus is coming to town

He's sees you when you're sleeping
He knows if you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness' sake

Oh, you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why:
Santa claus is coming to town

He's sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness' sake

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why:
Santa claus, yes, santa claus
Santa claus is coming to town

Oooooooo
Merry christmas saint nick
Christmas comes this time each year
Oooooooo oooooooo

Well, way up north where the air gets cold
There's a tale about christmas that you've all been told
And a real famous cat all dressed up in red
And he spends the whole year workin' out on his sled

It's the little saint nick
Ooooo, little saint nick
It's the little saint nick
Ooooo, little saint nick

Just a little bobsled we call it old saint nick
But she'll walk a toboggan with a four speed stick
She's candy-apple red with a ski for a wheel
And when santa hits the gas, man, just watch her peel

It's the little saint nick
Ooooo, little saint nick
It's the little saint nick
Ooooo, little saint nick

Run run reindeer
Run run reindeer
Whoaa
Run run reindeer
Run run reindeer

He don't miss no one

And haulin' through the snow at a frightenin' speed
With a half a dozen deer with rudy to lead
He's gotta wear his goggles 'cause the snow really flies
And he's cruisin' every pad with a little surprise

It's the little saint nick
Ooooo, little saint nick
It's the little saint nick
Ooooo, little saint nick

Ahhhhhh
Oooooooo
Merry christmas saint nick
Christmas comes this time each year

Ahhhhhh
Oooooooo
Merry christmas saint nick
Christmas comes this time each year

Ahhhhhh
Oooooooo
Merry christmas saint nick
Christmas comes this time each year

Well, along with our special feature of this beach boys' christmas album,
Once again i'm happy to see the smiling face of the leader of
This popular group here in the studio, brian wilson.
Good to see you again, brian.

Hi, jack.

This beach boys' christmas album is really something.
Ah, dick reynolds did the arrangements, i guess, huh?

Yes, he did. he did a beautiful job, a wonderful job.

Is this the first time you've worked with him?

Right. i'd been, uh, wanting to meet him and work with him for quite a long time.

Now who's idea was it to have you featured on this, uh, one particular tune--i,
I was particularly impressed with it--"a blue christmas."

Well, i... sort of picked out that song to sing for myself.
I, i love the song and uh, i've always wanted to sing it, so i thought i'd sing it.

Well, maybe this will be the start of a whole new career, huh?

I don't know, that's... it, it could, and it couldn't. ah... i really don't know.

Well, let's leave it to the listeners to see what they think of it.

Right.

I notice this album has uh, ah, along with some of the popular things like, uh,
"i'll be home for christmas," uh, "auld lang syne," and uh, um, "we three kings"
And some of the traditional things, that you have a couple of your,
Your own, uh, beach boys type sounds in the lp, too.

Uh-huh, we've more or less made one side, uh, our own style, and...

Kind of a teen side and an adult side.

Uh-huh, right, um-hm. contrasting.

Uh-huh. now, we have, uh, one of your originals coming up here, brian.
Uh, "christmas day." you wrote this for the album specifically?

Yes, i did. uh-huh.

Uh-huh. and now, do you do your, the vocal arrangements,
Or did dick reynolds handle all of that?

Dick handled the vocal arrangements on the, ah, the modern side
--the traditional side--and i did the, ah, vocal and the
Arrangements of the music on our own style--our basic style--side.
Dick did the strings, also, on the, uh, on the modern side.

Coming up now, ah, a very sentimental type christmas song,
Particularly for those who are away from home during this time of year
--"i'll be home for christmas." any, ah, thing particular about this,
This tune that you'd like to say, brian?

Ah, well, i guess there's something very obvious when you hear the song.
It's, ah, there's a very definite influence of the four freshmen
On the arrangement as well as the delivery, and, uh, obviously
We all look up and admire the style of the four freshmen and,
Uh, i feel this has been the greatest--one of the greater--
Vocal influences, ah, in the world today.

Well, it's certainly been, uh, nice of you to take the time to come
By again here for our special beach boys' christmas show.
You have a fine album here and, uh, i hope you'll be home for christmas.

Well, i hope i will, too. i hope everyone's home for christmas.

I do, too. brian wilson, thanks again for coming by.

Thank you very much, jack.

And here again, the beach boys' christmas album.
