Transcription

1 1 COMMUNITY CHORUS PROJECT, KIDZU CHILDREN S MUSEUM & UNIVERSITY PLACE PRESENT A HOLIDAY SING ALONG! Conducted by Caroline Miceli & Accompanied by Scott Schlesinger JINGLE BELLS Refrain: Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh Over fields we go, laughing all the way Bells on bob tail ring, making spirits bright. What fun it is to ride & sing a sleigh song tonight! (Refrain) A day or two ago I thought I'd take a ride And soon Miss Fanny Bright was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank. Misfortune seemed his lot, We ran into a drifted bank and there we got upsot. (Refrain) DECK THE HALLS Deck the halls with boughs of holly Fa la la la la la la la la Tis the season to be jolly Fa la la la la la la la la Don we now our gay apparel Fa la la, la la la, la la la Troll the ancient Yuletide carol Fa la la la la, la la la la See the blazing Yule before us Fa la la la la la la la la Strike the harp and join the chorus Fa la la la la la la la la Follow me in merry measure Fa la la la la la la la la While I tell of Yuletide treasure Fa la la la la la la la la Fast away the old year passes Fa la la la la, la la la la Hail the new, ye lads and lasses Fa la la la la, la la la la Sing we joyous, all together Fa la la la la, la la la la Heedless of the wind and weather Fa la la la la, la la la la A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots Is the wish of Barney and Ben; Dolls 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 ev'rywhere 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 Santa Claus is Coming to Town 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 gonna find out who's naughty or nice Santa Claus is coming, Santa Claus is coming to town He sees you when you're sleeping He knows when you're awake He knows when you've been bad or good So be good for goodness sake Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry You better not pout, I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming, Santa Claus is coming to town It s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev'rywhere 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 ev'ry store But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be On your own front door. Hungry after singing?

2 2 Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! O Come All Ye Faithful O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem; Come and behold Him, born the King of angels; Refrain: Oh come, let us adore Him x 3 Christ, the Lord! Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation, Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above! Glory to God, glory in the highest; (Refrain) Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning, Jesus, to Thee be all glory given; Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing; (Refrain) Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen. But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all? Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it you would even say it glows All of the other reindeer used to laugh & call him names They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say Rudolph with your nose so bright Won't you guide my sleigh tonight? Then all the reindeer loved him And they shouted out with glee Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer you'll go down in history! The First Noel The First Noel, the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay In fields where they lay keeping their sheep On a cold winter's night that was so deep Refrain: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, born is the King of Israel! They looked up and saw a star Shining in the East beyond them far And to the earth it gave great light And so it continued both day and night (Refrain) Let It Snow Oh the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we've no place to go, It doesn't show signs of stopping, And I've bought some corn for popping, The lights are turned way down low, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! When we finally kiss goodnight, 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-byeing, But as long as you love me so, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Away in A Manger Away in a manger, no crib for His bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head; The stars in the heavens looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing, the poor Baby wakes, But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes. I love Thee, Lord Jesus; Look down from the sky And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh. Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever and love me I pray! Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, And fit us for Heaven to live with Thee there. Frosty the Snowman Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul, With a corncob pipe and a button nose And two eyes made out of coal. Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say, He was made of snow but the children know How he came to life one day. There must have been some magic in That old silk hat they found. For when they placed it on his head He began to dance around. O, Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be, And the children say he could laugh and play Just the same as you and me. Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go! Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow!
