Son: Tis the night after Christmas, And all through my home The stockings are empty And Saint Nick has left me… Now my tale will be known: It begins at Christmas Eve Mass For Santa I’ll pray Feeling empty, Jesus tempt me Promise I’ll behave Falalalalalala, Christmas time is here Falalalalalala, Saint Nick and his reindeer In my bed, I’ll rest my head Soon morning will come Visions dancing, reindeers prancing Think I heard someone Falalalalalala, Christmas time is here Falalalalalala, Saint Nick and his reindeer Sprang from bed to take a peek Oh, I have no fear Stockings stuffed, I’m feeling flushed Footsteps in my ear Here is my chance to catch a glimpse Of Jolly Ol’ Saint Nick Footsteps running, Santa’s coming… Son: Dad, is that you? Father: What the hell are you doing awake at 4 am? Son: I, I thought I heard Santa… Father: Oh boy, you are certainly your mother’s son… How old are you again? Son: I’m, I’m thirteen. Father: … You’re thirteen? Son: Daddy, are you Santa? Father: Consider me one of his cheerful… little… elves Falalalalalala, Christmas time is here Falalalalalala, Saint Nick and his reindeer Falalalalalala, Falalalalalala

Toy - land, Toy - land, little girl and boy land. Toy - land, Toy - land, little girl and boy land. While you dwell within it, yer ever happy then. Childhood's joy-land, mystic merry Toyland Toy - land, Toy - land, little girl and boy land. Once you pass it's borders, you can never return a - gain. When you've grown up my dears, and are as old as I, You'll often ponder on the years That roll so swiftly by, my dears, that roll so swift - ly by Toy - land, Toy - land, little girl and boy land. Toy - land, Toy - land, little girl and boy land. While you dwell within it, yer ever happy then. Childhood's joy-land, mystic merry Toyland Toy - land, Toy - land, little girl and boy land. Once you pass it's borders, you can never return a - gain.

I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus Underneath the mistletoe last night She didn't see me creep Down the stairs to have a peep She thought that I was tucked up In my bedroom fast asleep Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus Underneath his beard so snowy white Oh, what a laugh it would have been If Daddy had only seen Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus Underneath the mistletoe last night She didn't see me creep Down the stairs to have a peep She thought that I was tucked up In my bedroom fast asleep I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus Underneath his beard so snowy white Oh, what a laugh it would have been If Daddy had only seen Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

Little toy trains, little toy tracks Little toy drums coming from a sack Carried by a man dressed in white and red Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed? Close your eyes Listen to the skies All is calm, all is well Soon you'll hear Kris Kringle and the jingle bells Bringin' little toy trains and little toy tracks Little toy drums coming from a sack Carried by a man dressed in white and red Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed? So close your eyes And listen to the skies All is calm, all is well Soon you'll hear Kris Kringle and the jingle bells Bringin' little toy trains and little toy tracks Little toy drums coming from a sack Carried by a man dressed in white and red Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed? Little boy, don't you think it's time you were in bed?

She, she was born in October But she, she’ll tell you it was December When the rain turns to snow, you best remember - Falalalalalala She, she was born a Christian And when Christmas comes, she gets to wishing When he lands she’s in the stands clapping and singing Falalalalalala Falalalalalala - She hears St. Nick Falalalalalala - You better come quick Falalalalalala - She hears St. Nick Falalalalalala - This is no magic trick She, she would die a believer And no amount of truth - truth will relieve her Santa Claus, he is the boss, and she is his preacher Falalalalalala Falalalalalala - She hears St. Nick Falalalalalala - You better come quick Falalalalalala - She hears St. Nick Falalalalalala - This is no magic trick Here he comes all dressed in red Down the chimney, not in her head She was right and I’m half dead I believe everything she said Falalalalalala - I hear St. Nick Falalalalalala - You better come quick Falalalalalala - I hear St. Nick Falalalalalala - This is no magic trick Falalalalalala

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 going to find out Who's naughty and nice, Santa Claus is coming to town He 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 Oh, you better watch out You better not cry Oh, you better not pout I'm telling you why, Santa Claus is coming to town Santa Claus is coming to town

Come down to the manger, see the little stranger Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the prince of peace Wheels start turning, torches start burning And the old wise men journey from the East How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light This must be Christmas, must be tonight A shepherd on a hillside, while over my flock I bide Oh a cold winter night a band of angels sing In a dream I heard a voice saying "fear not, come rejoice It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born king" How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light This must be Christmas, must be tonight I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies But why a simple herdsmen such as I And then it came to pass, he was born at last Right below the star that shines on high How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light This must be Christmas, must be tonight

This year I’ll try to be nice But, it’s not for Jesus H Christ It’s for you, it’s for you This year I won’t make you cry But not for reindeer who fly It’s for you, it’s for you And it happens every year Christmas cheer’s got me running in fear Just give me a sign, if I’m walking the line I’ll put down my eggnog and rum and drink water instead This year I’ll give it a shot But, it’s not for ol’ Santa Claus It’s for you, it’s for you This year I’ll hold it inside I don’t care who’s naughty or nice Except for you, it’s all for you And it happens every year Christmas cheer’s got me running in fear And it happens every year Christmas cheer’s got me running in fear Just give me a sign, if I’m walking the line I’ll put down my eggnog and rum and drink water instead … or at least I’ll pretend Just give me a sign, if I’m walking the line This year I’ll try to be nice

I can't think of anything that's dumber To a grouch, Christmas is a bummer! Beaming faces everywhere, happiness is in the air I'm telling you, it isn't fair! I hate Christmas! People loaded with good will, giving presents, what a thrill That slushy nonsense makes me ill I hate Christmas! I'd rather have a holiday like normal grouches do Instead of getting presents, they take presents back from you Heh heh Here comes Santa, girls and boys So, who needs that big red noise! I'll tell him where to put his toys I hate Christmas! Christmas carols to be sung, decorations to be hung Oh, yeah? Well, I stick out my tongue! I hate Christmas! Christmas bells play loud and strong Hurts my ears, all that ding dong Besides it goes on much too long I hate Christmas! I'd rather have a holiday with a lot less joy and flash With a lot less cheerful smiling, and a lot more dirty trash, yeah! Christmas Day is almost here When it's over, then I cheer I'm glad it's only once a year I hate Christmas!

Just as we’re sitting down, you’re about to get up Working for double time, but it’s never enough Enough to know you’re not alone, when you’re not with me at home You’re working on Christmas I’m watching the time Everyone’s eating, and you’re on the line You’re working on Christmas - but, everything is all right Just as you’re heading out, out into the quiet streets You’d look through every window, just to see how it feels, to know That no, you’re not alone, when you’re not here with me at home You’re working on Christmas I’ll turn off the lights Everyone’s sleeping, but you’re on a night You’re working on Christmas, but everything is all right Cause time will melt away like snow Oh, time it melts away the soul When it counts, oh, it moves so slow But, soon you’ll be with me back home You’re working on Christmas I’ll turn on the lights You’re on your way home, I’m watching the time You’re working on Christmas, but everything is fine

The time has come to rest your head Close your eyes, turn out the dread The world’s gone mad, but baby it’s not so bad At least we got each other, that’s more than some have Winter is coming, and we’re in the way I’ll board the windows if you want to stay The time has come to rest your head Close your eyes, shut out the dread The world’s not right, but baby we’re alright At least we’re together, in this frozen forever Winter is coming, and we’re in the way I’ll build a fire if you want to stay I think we missed Christmas, But babe, that’s okay The world’s gone mad, but baby it’s not so bad At least we got each other, that’s more than some have
13.
It’s Christmas time, and the lights do shine Oh, how they shine for you Little girl, ask for the world Ol’ Santa Claus will bring it for you Rest your head, go to bed Rest your head, go to bed Christmas will be here soon It’s Christmas you know, so you pray for snow Oh, how it falls for you Little boy, you know that gifts don’t matter Oh, but Saint Nick makes your heart pitter-patter Rest your head, go to bed Rest your head, go to bed Christmas will be here soon
