A Moffatt Christmas

Earl the christmas squirrel works form dawn till dusk,
Scurrying all around the world collecting christmas nuts,
Walnuts, chestnuts, hazlenuts, peanuts,
And on his hawaiian cruise
He goes nuts over coconuts and macadamias too!

Long ago on a winter's day santa was riding on his sleigh
He saw earl jumping through the trees,
He stopped to watch for a little while,
Hi rosy cheeks tipped on his smile,
He said "earl would you do that for me?"

So earl the christmas squirrel works from dawn till dusk
Scurrying all around the world collecting christmas nuts
Walnuts, chestnuts, hazlenuts, peanuts,
And on his hawaiian cruise
He goes nuts over coconuts and macadamias too!

So if you see a squireel up in a tree
You never know, it just might be
Earl gathering nuts for christmas eve
Now he's a part of santa's crew
Just like the elves and rudolph too,
Working all year long for you and me

So earl the christmas squirrel works from dawn till dusk
Scurrying all around the world collecting christmas nuts
Walnuts, chestnuts, hazlenuts, peanuts,
And on his hawaiian cruise
He goes nuts over coconuts and macadamias too!

He goes nuts over coconuts and macadamias too!

He's got a real long beard that's white as snow
He's got icicle fingers and popsicle toes
He's got chestnuts roasting on an open fire
He's got you scootin' down the hill on a worn out tire
He's got sleigh bells ringing out into the night
He's got everybody feeling alright

When old man winter comes to town
He's got a special way of dropping in
And spreading cheer around
You know christmas is around the bend
And he won't let you down
When old man winter comes to town

He's got the whole world sleeping beneath a blanket of white
He's got everything shining on a full moon night
He's got kids of all ages, clowning around,
Building snow forts and knocking them down
He's got frost on the windows, ice on the stairs
Smoke from the chimney and pine in the air

When old man winter comes to town
He's got a special way of dropping in
And spreading cheer around
You know christmas is around the bend
And he won't let you down
When old man winter comes to town

He knows frosty the snowman and all the reindeer
And everybody's happy when he's been here
Cause he talks to santa and all of the elves
And he took one day of christmas and he turned it into twelve

When old man winter comes to town
He's got a special way of dropping in
And spreading cheer around
You know christmas is around the bend
And he won't let you down
When old man winter comes to town

Think about a little boy
Born on christmas day
There's a party going on
But he feels so out of place
Cause every one is having fun
And playing with their games
There're presents for these other kids
But none that bare his name

That's how jesus feels at christmas
Sometimes he gets left out
Not every one remembers what the season's all about
So when you're out their buying gifts
Imagine what he might say
And how would jesus feel if he came to your house christmas day

He feels so lonely
Rejected and torn
He thinks, why was i forgotten
On the day that i was born
Well there's, nothing wrong with santa claus
And lights and mistletoe
But don't forget the baby boy
That was born so long ago

How will jesus feel this christmas
Will he be left out
Will every one remember what the season's all about
So when you're out there buying gifts
Imagine what he might say
And how would jesus feel if he came to your house christmas day

And how would jesus feel if he came to your house christmas day

You can't believe everything you hear
And only half of what you see
But you can't deny the magic of a christmas tree
It can melt a heart of stone
Bring warmth into a home
Give you strength when your alone on christmas eve
The message is so real
That's exactly how i feel
For the feelings everywhere on christmas eve

This christmas eve
Hang up your guns
This christmas eve
Aim with your heart
This christmas eve
We can change the world
We can all be one
There's a child inside of us
There's a child that needs your trust
Open up your heart to everyone
This christmas eve

There's a light that shines above
It's a symbol of our love
Like the star upon the tree in our living room
So i believe it's true
It's wrapped inside of you
The gift of love comes through on christmas eve

This christmas eve
Hang up your guns
This christmas eve
Aim with your heart
This christmas eve
We can change the world
We can all be one
There's a child inside of us
There's a child that needs your trust
Open up your heart to everyone
This christmas eve

This christmas eve
This christmas eve
We can change the world
We can all be one
There's a child inside of us
There's a child that needs your trust
Open up your heart to everyone
This christmas eve

Peace on earth

No sugar plums
No stockings hung
But in their hearts
Christmas carols will be sung
They huddle round
In this little town
When celebrating the birth of christ
New life is found

Peace on earth
Good will to all men
Give joy to the season by reaching out your hand
The greatest gift is the love we give
And we will find true peace of mind in the way we live

Peace on earth
Good will to all men
Give joy to the season by reaching out your hand
The greatest gift is given free
True peace of mind, can't be found, beneath a christmas tree
And we will find true peace of mind within you and me

Peace on earth
