1 Rehoboth Christmas Sing Along 2015 IT S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS Lyric and Music by Meredith Willson IT S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS EVERYWHERE YOU GO! TAKE A LOOK IN THE FIVE AND TEN, GLISTENING ONCE AGAIN WITH CANDY CANES AND SILVER LANES AGLOW. IT S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS, TOYS IN EVERY STORE, BUT THE PRETTIEST SIGHT YOU LL SEE IS THE HOLLY THAT WILL BE ON YOUR OWN FRONT DOOR. A PAIR OF HOPALONG BOOTS AND A PISTOL THAT SHOOTS IS THE WISH OF BARNEY AND BEN. A DOLL THAT WILL TALK AND WILL GO FOR A WALK IS THE HOPE OF JANICE AND JEN. AND MOM AND DAD CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR SCHOOL TO START AGAIN! IT S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS EVERYWHERE YOU GO; THERE S A TREE IN THE GRAND HOTEL, ONE IN THE PARK AS WELL. THE STURDY KIND THAT DOESN T MIND THE SNOW. IT S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS, SOON THE BELLS WILL START. AND THE THING THAT WILL MAKE THEM RING, IS THE CAROL THAT YOU SING RIGHT WITHIN YOUR HEART! WINTER WONDERLAND Lyric by Dick Smith, Music by Felix Bernard SLEIGHBELLS RING, ARE YOU LIST NIN? IN THE LANE, SNOW IS GLIST NIN, A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT, WE RE HAPPY TONIGHT, WALKIN IN A WINTER WONDERLAND! GONE AWAY IS THE BLUEBIRD, HERE TO STAY IS A NEW BIRD, HE SINGS A LOVE SONG, AS WE GO ALONG, WALKIN IN A WINTER WONDERLAND! IN THE MEADOW WE CAN BUILD A SNOWMAN, THEN PRETEND THAT HE IS PARSON BROWN, HE LL SAY ARE YOU MARRIED? WE LL SAY, NO MAN! BUT YOU CAN DO THE JOB WHEN YOU RE IN TOWN! LATER ON, WE LL CONSPIRE, AS WE DREAM BY THE FIRE TO FACE UNAFRAID, THE PLANS THAT WE MADE WALKIN IN A WINTER WONDERLAND

2 ! 2 OH, THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS FRIGHTFUL, BUT THE FIRE IS SO DELIGHTFUL, AND SINCE WE VE NO PLACE TO GO, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW. IT DOESN T SHOW SIGNS OF STOPPING, AND I BROUGHT SOME CORN FOR POPPING, THE LIGHTS ARE TURNED WAY DOWN LOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW. WHEN WE FINALLY KISS GOOD NIGHT, HOW I LL HATE GOING OUT IN THE STORM; BUT IF YOU LL REALLY HOLD ME TIGHT, ALL THE WAY HOME I LL BE WARM. THE FIRE IS SLOWLY DYING, AND MY DEAR, WE RE STILL GOOD BYE-ING, BUT AS LONG AS YOU LOVE ME SO, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW.
