Fairytale of New York
It was Christmas Eve babe, in the drunk tank,
An old man said to me, “won’t see another one,”
And then he sang a song, ‘The Rare Old Mountain Dew’
I turned my face away, and dreamed about you.
Got on a lucky one, came in eighteen to one,
I’ve got a feeling, this year’s for me and you,
So happy Christmas, I love you baby,
I can see a better time, when all our dreams come true.
INSTRUMENTAL
They’ve got cars big as bars, they’ve got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you,
It’s no place for the old,
When you first took my hand on a cold Christmas Eve,
You promised me Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome,
You were pretty, Queen of New York City,
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks
They were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night
The boys of the NYPD choir, were singing ‘Galway Bay’
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day
INSTRUMENTAL
You’re a bum
You’re a punk
You’re an old
Sl*t on junk
Lying there almost
Dead on a drip in that bed
You scum bag, you maggot,
You’re cheap and you’re haggard,
Happy Christmas your arse –
I pray God it’s our last
The boys of the NYPD choir, still singing ‘Galway Bay’
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day
INSTRUMENTAL
I could have been someone –
Well so could anyone.
You took my dreams from me, when I first found you.
I kept them with me babe,
I put them with my own,
Can’t make it all alone,
I’ve built my dreams around you.
The boys of the NYPD choir, still singing ‘Galway Bay’
And the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day
Merry Christmas Everyone
Snow is fallin’
All around me
Children playin’
Having fun
It’s the season
For love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone
Time for parties and celebrations
People dancing all night long
Time for presents
And exchanging kisses
Time for singing Christmas songs
We’re gonna have a party tonight
I’m gonna find that girl underneath the mistletoe
We’ll kiss by candlelight
Room is swaying, records playing
All the old songs we love to hear
All I wish that everyday was Christmas
What a nice way to spend the year
We’re gonna have a party tonight
I’m gonna find that girl underneath the mistletoe
We’ll kiss by candlelight
Snow is fallin’ (snow is fallin’)
All around me (all around me)
Children playin’ (children playin’)
Having fun (having fun)
It’s the season
For love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone
Merry Christmas everyone
White Christmas
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten, and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten, and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.
Oh I wish it could be Christmas every day
When the snowman brings the snow
Well he just might like to know
He’s put a great big smile on somebody’s face
If you jump into your bed
Quickly cover up your head
Don’t you lock the doors
You know that sweet Santa Claus is on the way
Well I wish it could be Christmas every day
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas every day
Let the bells ring out for Christmas
When we’re skating in the park
If the storm cloud paints it dark
Then your rosy cheeks going to light my merry way
Now the frosticles appear
And they’ve frozen up my beard
So we’ll lie by the fire
Till the sleep simply melts them all away
Well I wish it could be Christmas every day
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas every day
Let the bells ring out for Christmas
Ok, you lot, take it!
Well I wish it could be Christmas every day
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas every day
Let the bells ring out for Christmas
Why don’t you give your love for Christmas?
Mary’s Boy Child
Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible say,
Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today
And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day
Trumpets sound and angels sing, listen to what they say,
That man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.
While shepherds watch their flocks by night, they see a bright new shining star
Then hear a choir sing, the music seemed to come from afar
Now Joseph and his wife Mary, come to Bethlehem that night,
Them find no place to born the child, not a single room was in sight.
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today
And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day
Trumpets sound and angels sing, listen to what they say,
That man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.
Because of Christmas Day.
We Wish you a Merry Christmas

Oh, bring us some figgy pudding
Oh, bring us some figgy pudding

Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year
We won’t go until we get some
We won’t go until we get some
We won’t go until we get some
So bring it right here
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year
