1 Lyrics for Raffi s Christmas Album Frosty the Snowman Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul With a corn cob 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 ol' silk hat they found For when they placed it on his head He began to dance around, oh 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 Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day So he said, Let's run and we'll have some fun Now before I melt away Down to the village with a broom stick in his hand Runnin' here and there all around the square Sayin', Catch me if you can He led them down the streets of town Right to the traffic cop And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler stop or Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way But he waved goodbye sayin', don't you cry I'll be back again some day Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump Look at Frosty go Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump Over the hills of snow Up on the House- Top Up on the House- Top reindeer paws Out jumps good ole Santa Clause Down through the chimney with lots of toys All for the little ones Christmas joys Ho- ho- ho who wouldn't know Ho- ho- ho who wouldn't know Up on the House- Top click- click- click Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick

2 On Christmas Morning Waiting throughout the year For Christmas morning to be here. Counting how many days Till Christmas morning, drawing near. On Christmas morning I'll wake up bright and early Be the first one out of bed With the mistletoe bove my head. On Christmas morning We can sing and celebrate And make the feeling stay All through the day. Presents under the tree There's one from me to you and you to me. Family and friends are here On the very best morning of the year

3 Petit Papa Noel C'est la belle nuit de Noel La neige étend son manteau blanc Et les yeux levés vers le ciel A genoux, les petits enfants Avant de fermer les paupières Font une dernier prière. Petit papa Noel Quand tu descendras du ciel Avec des jouets par milliers N'oublie pas mon petit soulier. Mais avant de partir Il faudra bien te couvrir Dehors tu vas avoir si froid C'est un peu cause du moi. Le marchand de sable est passe Les enfants vont faire dodo Et tu vas pouvoir commencer Avec ta hotte sur le dos Au son des cloches des églises Petit papa Noel Quand tu descendras du ciel Avec des jouets par milliers N'oublie pas mon petit soulier.

4 Jingle Bells 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, O'er the fields we go, Laughing all the way. Bells on bobtails ring, Making our spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight! - chorus-

5 The First Noel / Deck The Halls The first Noel, the angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they Lay In fields where they lay keeping their sheep on cold winter night that was so deep Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel. They looked up and saw a star Shining in the East, beyond hem so far And to the earth t gave great light And so it continued both day and night - Refrain- Deck the hall 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, 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, While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la la la la la!
