1. _ I Heard The Bells On Christmas Day
I heard the bells on christmas day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
I thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all christendom
Had rolled along th' unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
And in despair i bowed my head
"there is no peace on earth," i said,
"for hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men."
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"god is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, good will to men."
Till ringing, singing on its way
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good will to men.

2. _ Christmas Memories
Singing carols, stringing popcorn, making footprints in the snow,
Memories, christmas memories, they're the sweetest ones i know.
Cookies taking in the kitchen, calls in rhythm everywhere,
Proxies, christmas memories, float like snowflakes in the air.
Oh the joy of waking christmas mornings, the family round the tree,
We had a way of making christmas morning as merry as can be,
I close my eyes and see shining faces
Of all the children who now have children of their own
Funny, but comes december, and i remember every christmas i've known.

3. _ Christmas Waltz, The
Writer(s): cahn/styne
Frosted windowpanes
Candies gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and me
It's that time of year
When the world falls in love
Ev'ry song you hear seems to say,
"merry christmas,
May your new year dreams come true"
And this song of mine
In three-quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing, too

4. _ Little Drummer Boy
Come they told me (pa-rum pum pum pum)
A newborn king to see (pa-rum pum pum pum)
Our finest gifts we bring pa-rum pum pum pum
To lay before the king
So to honor him (pa-rum pum pum pum)
When we come
Little baby (pa-rum pum pum pum)
I am a poor boy too (pa-rum pum pum pum)
I have no gift to bring (pa-rum pum pum pum)
That's fit to give our king
Shall i play for you? (pa-rum pum pum pum)
On my drum
Mary nodded (pa-rum pum pum pum)
The ox and lamb kept time (pa-rum pum pum pum)
I played my drum for him (pa-rum pum pum pum)
I played my best for him
Then he smiled at me (pa-rum pum pum pum)
Me and my drum

5. _ The Twelve Days Of Christmas
(not frank's version, this is the traditional)
On the (first) day of christmas my true love sent to me
Twelve lords leaping, eleven ladies dancing, ten pipers piping
Nine drummers drumming, eight maids milking, seven swans swimming
Six geese laying, five gold rings
Four calling birds, three french hens, two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree
(this is frank's version)
On the (first) day of christmas, we gave our loving dad (my children gave to me)
Twelve dozen kisses, eleven jars of jelly, ten silken hankies,
Nine games of scrabble, eight pairs of cufflinks, seven books of fiction,
Six golden lighters, five ivory combs,
Four meerschaum pipes, three golf clubs, two silken scarfs,
And a most lovely lavender tie.

We wish you the merriest, the merriest, the merriest, the merriest to you
We wish you the merriest, the merriest, the merriest, yes the merriest,
We wish you the merriest, the merriest, the merriest yule cheer,
We wish you the happiest, the happiest, the happiest, yes the happiest,
We wish you the happiest, the happiest, the happiest new year.
May your tree be filled with happiness, happiness and friendliness for all
May your heart be filled with cheerfulness,
With happiness and cheerfulness and friendliness for all.
We wish you the happiest, the happiest, the happiest, yes the happiest,
We wish you the merriest, the merriest, the merriest yule cheer,
And the happiest new year.
The happiest and the friendliest, and the merriest, the cheerfullest,
And the happiest new year.

7. _ A Baby Just Like You
The season is upon us now
A time for gifts and giving
And as the year draws to its close
I think about my living
The christmas time when i was young,
The magic and the wonder,
But colors dull and candles dim,
And dark my standing under
O little zachary, shining light
You've set my soul to dreaming
You've given back my joy in life
And filled me with new meaning
A savior king was born that day,
A baby just like you,
And as the magi came with gifts,
I come with my gift too
That peace on earth fills up your time,
That brotherhood surrounds you.
That you may know the warmth of love,
And wrap it all around you
It's just a wish, a dream i'm told
From days when i was young
Merry christmas, little zachary
Merry christmas, everyone
Merry christmas, little zachary
Merry christmas, everyone

8. _ Go, Tell It On The Mountain
When i was a leaner
I sought truth night and day.
I asked our lord to help me
And he showed me the way.
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere.
Go, tell it on the mountain:
That jesus christ is born
He made me a watchman
Upon the city wall,
And if i am a christian,
I am the least of all
Go, tell ...

9. _ Whatever Happened To Christmas
Whatever happened to christmas? it's gone and left no traces,
Whatever happened to the faces or the glow,
Whatever happened to christmas, to christmas way of living?
Whatever happened to the giving, the magic in the snow?
Remember the sight and the smell and the sound,
And remember hearing the call,
Remember how love was all around, whatever happened to it all?
Whatever happened to christmas, bells in the streets were ringing,
Whatever happened to the singing, the songs we used to know.
Whatever happened to this christmas, and when did it disappeared from view,
Where was i, and whatever happened to you?
Whatever happened to christmas and you?

10. _ Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Writer(s): hugh martin, ralph blane
Have yourself a merry little christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little christmas,
Make the yule-tide gay,
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Here were are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little christmas now

11. _ An Old Fashioned Christmas
Give me an old fashioned christmas, an old fashioned christmas,
Family faces, wide open spaces, covered with snow,
Right now my mom there in the kitchen, basting the christmas bird,
You'll have to take my word, you can't find that at the automat.
An old fashioned fireplace, give me an old fashioned fireplace,
My heart remembers smoldering embers, warming your glow,
I'd trade that whole manhattan skyline, the shimmering steel and chrome,
For one old fashioned christmas back home.

12. _ I Wouldn't Trade Christmas
I wouldn't trade christmas, no no, never would i,
Wouldn't trade christmas, i love you the best,
I wouldn't trade christmas, no no, never would i,
Wouldn't trade christmas, i love you the best.
It's time for the hollys of fun, and the folly or all of that jolly jazz,
The people are glowing, the sand is now howing, each window is showing it has
All the latest in choicing, the daddy invoicing and all that razzle that does,
But i wouldn't trade christmas, wouldn't trade christmas for new year's day,
Thanksgiving, holloween and the rest. christmas we love you the best.
I wouldn't trade, no, no. never would i, wouldn't trade christmas, i love you the best.
The traffic gets poky, the turkey gets smoky, and all of that holy stuff,
The people are shopping for things they'll be swapping like filigree boxes of snuff,
Though you pour the hot toddy, to force everybody, though half of the toddy's enough,
I wouldn't trade christmas, wouldn't trade christmas for father's day or mother's,
Valentine, and the rest, christmas we love you the best.
The jingle fell jingle you feel the old tingle, you buy the first single scene.
The idea is clever but subways will never quite handle that huge evergreen.
And the old office party, with stanley and molly keep drinking until they turn green.
But i wouldn't trade christmas, wouldn't trade christmas for labor day, or easter, washington and the
Rest, christmas we love you the best.

13. _ The Bells Of Christmas
The bells, the bells, ringing everywhere for the sound of christmas is in the air,
The bells, the bells, from the steeple above, telling us it's the season of love,
Ring out, let the tale be told that inspires the dream of the young and old,
Love, love, let your hearts unfold, for the bells of christmas are ringing.
The bells, the bells, on a wintry night, with the friendly fire burning warm and bright,
The bells, the bells, on the steeple above, telling us it's the season of love.
Ring out, let the tale be told, that inspires the dream of the young and old,
Love, love, let your hearts unfold, for the bells of christmas are ringing.
The bells, the bells, they've been here and now, to a world that almost forgotten how
The bells, the bells, from the steeple above, telling us it's the season of love.
Ring out, let the tale be told that inspires the dream of the young and old,
Love, love, let your hearts unfold, for the bells of christmas are ringing.
The bells of christmas are ringing.
