UP ON THE HOUSE TOPS

Up on the house top the reindeer paused Out jumped good old Santa Claus

Down through the chimney with lots of toys All for the little ones Christmas joys

(chorus)

Ho ho ho who wouldn’t go Ho ho ho who wouldn’t go

Up on the house top click click click Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick

First comes the stocking of little Nel

Oh dear Santa fill it well Give her a dolly that laughs and cries One that will open and shut her eyes

(chorus)

Next comes the stocking of little Will

Oh just see what a glorious fill Here is a hammer and lots of tacks Also a ball and a whip that cracks

(chorus - repeat)

DECK THE HALLS

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 aperal Fa la la la la la la la la

Tril the ancient yule tide carol Fa la la la la la la la la

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

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 yule tide treasure Fa la la la la la la la la



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 Year lads and lasses Fa la la la la la la la la

Sing we joyus 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



Fa la la la la la la la la (repeat to end)

JINGLE BELLS

Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh O’er the fields we go, laughing all the way Bells on bobtail ring, making spirits bright

What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight

(chorus) 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

Now the ground is white, go it while you’re young Take the girls tonight, sing this sleighing song Get a bob-tailed bay, two-forty for his speed

Then hitch him to an open sleigh and you will take the lead

(chorus - repeat)

Jolly old Saint Nicholas lean your ears this way Don’t you tell a single soul what I’m going to say

Christmas Eve is coming soon now you dear old man Whisper what you’ll bring to me tell me if you can

YO-HO YO-HAY

Christmas isn’t far away, the snows about to fall Santa Claus is on his way, you’re wondering if he’ll call

If you close your eyes real tight, make sure your fast asleep Santa Claus will come tonight, if you don’t try to peep

(chorus)

Yo-ho yo-hay, Santa Claus is singing Yo-ho yo-hay, oh Santa’s on his way

Yo-ho yo-hay, lots of toys he’s bringing Yo-ho yo-hay, it’s nearly Christmas Day

Santa’s making lots of toys, does he know what you’d like?

Lots and lots of girls and boys are fast asleep tonight When you wake you’ll be surprised to see how good you’ve been

There before your very eyes are toys you’ve never seen

(chorus)

Christmas isn’t far away, the snows about to fall Santa Claus is on his way, you’re wondering if he’ll call

If you close your eyes real tight, make sure your fast asleep Santa Claus will come tonight, if you don’t try to peep

(chorus)

MEN OF OLD

As with gladness, men of old Did the guiding star behold

As with joy they hailed its light Leading onward, beaming bright So most glorious Lord may we

Evermore be led to Thee

As with joyful steps they sped Saviour to Thy lowly bed

There to bend the knee before Him Whom Heaven and earth adore

So may we with willing feet Ever seek Thy mercy seat

As they offered gifts most rare At Thy cradle rude and bare

So may we with holy joy Pure and free from sin’s alloy

All our costliest treasures bring Christ to Thee our heavenly King

Holy Jesus every day

Keep us in the narrow way And when earthly things are past Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide Where no clouds Thy glory hide

In the heavenly country bright

Need they no created light Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown

Thou its Sun which goes not down There forever may we sing

Alleluias to our King

DING DONG MERRILY ON HIGH

Ding dong merrliy on high The bells are gaily ringing Ding dong happily reply

The angels all are singing G-l-o-r-i-a, Hosanna in excelsis

Ding dong carol all the bells

Awake now do not tarry Sing out sound the good Nowells

Jesu is born of Mary G-l-o-r-i-a, Hosanna in excelsis

Ring out merry merry bells The angels all are singing

Ding dong swing the steeple bells Some joyous news we're bringing G-l-o-r-i-a, Hosanna in excelsis

Hark now happily we sing The angels wish us merry

Ding dong dancing as we bring Good news from Virgin Mary

G-l-o-r-i-a, Hosanna in excelsis G-l-o-r-i-a, Hosanna in excelsis

I’M NOT REALLY NAUGHTY

I didn’t spill the paint pot, it just fell on the floor I didn’t mean to hurt the dog, his tail shut in the door I didn’t trip the milkman, he slipped upon my skate

The earlier I go to school, I’m always very late

(chorus) I’m not really naughty, the bad things I have done

I’ve done a lot of good things, will Father Christmas come I’m not really naughty, I try to do what’s good

If only I knew how too, I’d do it if I could

I didn’t wake the baby, he didn’t want to sleep I didn’t hide his rattle, he threw it in the street

I didn’t squeeze the toothpaste, it wanted to escape I tried to clean my bedroom, it’s always in a state

(chorus x 2)

I didn’t know that Santa, was watching me for sure

I would have picked my skateboard up, and gently closed the door I didn’t know that Santa, was just about to call

But now I’m being real good, the best child of them all

(chorus - repeat)

17


IF ONLY I COULD BE WITH SANTA

Sitting by the fire Christmas time is near Now we think of Santa Full of joy and cheer Busy in his workshop Lots of things to do

If I could be with him I could help him too

(chorus)

If only I could be with Santa Claus If only he could be with me If only I could be with Santa

How happy I would be If only I could be with Santa Claus

If only he would have me too If only I could be with Santa Claus

This is what I’d do

I could help the fairies Loading up his sleigh

I could pat the reindeer Help them on their way I could sort the presents

Put them into sacks Help him on the rooftops Down the chimney stacks

(chorus x 2)

I could clean his big boots Make them shine so bright

I could tie his belt up Brush his beard so white I could make a snowman

With a carrot nose He could wave to Santa

Safely as he goes

(chorus x 2)

XCDB06 TRACK 16 / 23 I SAW THREE SHIPS

I saw three ships some sailing in

On Christmas day, on Christmas day I saw three ships come sailing in On Christmas day in the morning

And what was in those ships all three On Christmas day, on Christmas day And what was in those ships all three

On Christmas day in the morning

T'was Joseph and his fair lady On Christmas day, on Christmas day

T'was Joseph and his fair lady On Christmas day in the morning

Oh he did whistle and she did sing

On Christmas day, on Christmas day Oh he did whistle and she did sing On Christmas day in the morning

St Michael was the steersman

On Christmas day, on Christmas day St Michael was the steersman


Pray with us sail those ships all three On Christmas day, on Christmas day Pray with us sail those ships all three


Oh they sailed into Bethlehem On Christmas day, on Christmas day

Oh they sailed into Bethlehem On Christmas day in the morning

And all the bells on Earth shall ring

On Christmas day, on Christmas Day And all the bells on earth shall ring On Christmas day in the morning

19


CARS AND TRAINS

Count the days for Christmas time is near Very soon ole Santa will be here

Think of all the games you’d like to play When you get your toys on Christmas Day

(chorus)

Cars and trains and space invader games Swings and books and pans for little cooks

Teddy bears and telephones that ring Who can know what Santa Claus will bring

Go to sleep and dream a little dream All the toys that you have ever seen

Shut your eyes and try to make believe All the gifts you’re hoping to receive

(chorus x 2)

Do you know what you would really like? Perhaps a doll, a brand new shinny bike

Make a list and send it right away Can you wait until its Christmas Day?

(chorus - repeat)

GATHER AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE

Gather around the Christmas tree Gather around the Christmas tree Evergreen have it’s branches been It is king of all the woodland scene For Christ the King is born today His reign shall never pass away

Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest

Gather around the Christmas tree Gather around the Christmas tree

Once the pride of the mountainside Now to cut to grace our Christmas tide

For Christ from heav'n to earth come down To gain through death a noble crown



Once the pride of the mountainside Now to cut to grace our Christmas tide

For Christ from heav'n to earth come down To gain through death a noble crown



Ev'ry bough has a burden now They are gifts of love for us, we trow For Christ is born, His love to show

And give good gifts to me below Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest
