3 | P a g e Version 1 Fairytale of New York The Pogues

It was babe In the drunk tank An old man said to me, won't see another one And then he sang a song The Rare Old Mountain Dew I turned my face away And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one Came in at ten to one I've got a feeling This year's for me and you So Happy Christmas I love you baby I can see a better time When all our dreams come true

[Instrumental Section]

They've got cars big as bars They've got rivers of gold But the wind goes right through you It's no place for the old When you first took my hand On a cold Christmas Eve You promised me Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome You were pretty Queen of New York City When the band finished playing They howled out for more Sinatra was swinging, All the drunks they were singing We kissed on a corner Then danced through the night

4 | P a g e Version 1

The boys of the NYPD choir Were singing "Galway Bay" And the bells were ringing out For Christmas day

You're a bum You're a punk You're an old slut on junk Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed You scumbag, you maggot You cheap lousy faggot Happy Christmas your arse I pray God it's our last

The boys of the NYPD choir Were singing "Galway Bay" And the bells were ringing out For Christmas day

[Instrumental Section]

[Pause]

I could have been someone Well so could anyone You took my dreams from me When I first found you I kept them with me babe I put them with my own Can't make it all alone I've built my dreams around you

The boys of the NYPD choir Were singing "Galway Bay" And the bells were ringing out For Christmas day

5 | P a g e Version 1 Everything is Gonna to be Cool This Christmas Eels

Remember last year when you were on your own You swore the spirit couldn't be found December rolled around and you were counting on it to roll out

But everything’s gonna be cool this Christmas Everything’s gonna be cool this Christmas Everything's gonna be cool this Christmas

Well everybody's waiting for you down at the house The tree is looking so inspired There's a yuletide groove waiting for you to move Come on and throw another log on the fire

But everything’s gonna be cool this Christmas Everything’s gonna be cool this Christmas Everything’s gonna be cool this Christmas

[Instrumental Section]

Baby , born to rock

As the days go by, the more that we need friends And the harder they are to find If I could have a friend like you in my life Then I guess I'd be doing just fine

But everything’s gonna be cool this Christmas Everything's gonna be cool this Christmas Everything's gonna be cool this Christmas

Happy Christmas (War is Over) John Lennon

So this is Christmas, and what have you done? Another year over, a new one just begun. And so this is Christmas, I hope you have fun The near and the dear ones, the old and the young.

A merry, merry Christmas, and a happy New Year Let’s hope it’s a good one without any fears.

And so this is Christmas, (War is over) For weak and for strong. (If you want it) The rich and the poor ones (War is over) The road is so long. (Now) And so happy Christmas, (War is over) For black and for white. (If you want it) For yellow and red ones, (War is over) Let’s stop all the fights. (Now)

A merry, merry Christmas, and a happy New Year Let’s hope it’s a good one without any fears. And so this is Christmas, (War is over) And what have we done? (If you want it) Another year over, (War is over) A new one just begun. (Now) And so this is Christmas, (War is over) We hope you have fun (If you want it ) The near and the dear ones, ( War is over ) The old and the young. (Now)

A merry, merry Christmas, and a happy New Year Let’s hope it’s a good one without any fears.

War is over, if you want it. War is over, now... War is over, if you want it. War is over, now...

7 | P a g e Version 1 Christmas Wrapping The Waitresses

"Bah, humbug!" No, that's too strong 'Cause it is my favourite holiday But all this year's been a busy blur Don't think I have the energy

To add to my already mad rush Just 'cause it's 'tis the season. The perfect gift for me would be Completions and connections left from

Last year, ski shop, En counter, most interesting. Had his number but never the time Most of '81 passed along those lines.

So deck those halls, trim those trees Raise up cups of Christmas cheer, I just need to catch my breath, Christmas by myself this year.

[Instrumental Section]

Calendar picture, frozen landscape, Chilled this room for twenty-four days, Evergreens, sparkling snow Get this winter over with!

Flashback to springtime, saw him again, Would've been good to go for lunch, Couldn't agree when we were both free, We tried, we said we'd keep in touch.

Didn't, of course, 'til summertime, Out to the beach to his boat could I join him? No, this time it was me,

8 | P a g e Version 1 Sunburn in the third degree.

Now the calendar's just one page And, of course, I am excited Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind Not to do too much about it.

[Instrumental Section]

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! But I think I'll miss this one this year. Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! But I think I'll miss this one this year. Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! But I think I'll miss this one this year. Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! But I think I'll miss this one this year.

Hardly dashing through the snow ‘Cause I bundled up too tight Last minute have-to-do's A few cards a few calls

'Cause it’s r-s-v-p No thanks, no party lights It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax Turned down all of my invites.

Last fall I had a night to myself, Same guy called, party, Waited all night for him to show, This time his car wouldn't go,

Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late, Trudge on home to celebrate In a quiet way, unwind Doing Christmas right this time.

[Instrumental Section]

9 | P a g e Version 1 A&P has provided me With the world’s smallest turkey Already in the oven, nice and hot Oh damn! Guess what I forgot?

So on with the boots, back out in the snow To the only all-night grocery, When what to my wondering eyes should appear In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year!

"I’m spending this one alone," he said. "Need a break; this year's been crazy." I said, "Me too, but why are you? You mean you forgot cranberries too?"

Then suddenly we laughed and laughed Caught on to what was happening That Christmas magic's brought this tale To a very happy ending! "

[Instrumental Section]

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! But I think I'll miss this one this year. Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! But I think I'll miss this one this year. Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! But I think I'll miss this one this year. Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! But I think I'll miss this one this year.

11 | P a g e Version 1 I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday Roy Wood

Oh when the snowman brings the snow Oh well he just might like to know He’s put a great big smile up- -on somebody’s face. If you jump into your bed, Quickly cover up your head, Don’t you lock your door, you know that Sweet Santa Claus is on his way.

(CHORUS) Oh well I wish it could be Christmas every day. When the kids start singing and the band begins to play. Oh I wish it could be Christmas every day So let the bells ring out for Christmas!

When we’re skating in the park, If the storm cloud paints it dark Then your rosy cheeks gonna light my merry way. Now the ‘frosticals’ appeared And they’ve frozen up my beard, So we’ll lie by the fire till the Sleep simply melts them all away.

(CHORUS) Oh well I wish it could be Christmas every day. When the kids start singing and the band begins to play. Oh I wish it could be Christmas every day So let the bells ring out for Christmas!

12 | P a g e Version 1 When the snowman brings the snow Oh well he just might like to know He’s put a great big smile up- -on somebody’s face. So if Santa brings the sleigh All along that Milky Way, I’ll sign my name on the rooftop in the Snow then he may decide to stay.

(CHORUS) Oh well I wish it could be Christmas every day. When the kids start singing and the band begins to play. Oh I wish it could be Christmas every day So let the bells ring out for Christmas! Why don’t you give your love for Christmas? When the snowman brings the snow… (repeat to fade )

13 | P a g e Version 1 Last Christmas George Michael

Last Christmas I gave you my heart, But the very next day you gave it away, This year to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special. Last Christmas I gave you my heart, But the very next day you gave it away, This year to save me from tears, I’ll give it to someone special.

Once bitten and twice shy, I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye, Tell me baby, do you recognize me? Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me. (Happy Christmas) I wrapped it up and sent it, With a note saying, "I love you" , I meant it, Now I know what a fool I've been, But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again.

Last Christmas I gave you my heart, But the very next day you gave it away, This year to save me from tears, I’ll give it to someone special. Last Christmas I gave you my heart, But the very next day you gave it away, This year to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special.

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes, I’m hiding from you, and your soul of ice, My god, I thought you were someone to rely on, Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on. A face on a lover with a fire in his heart, A man under cover but you tore me apart, Oh, oh Now I’ve found a real love you’ll never fool me again.

14 | P a g e Version 1 Last Christmas I gave you my heart, But the very next day you gave it away, This year to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special. Last Christmas I gave you my heart, But the very next day you gave it away, This year to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special.

17 | P a g e Version 1 Merry Xmas Everybody Slade

Are you hanging up the stocking on the wall? It’s the time that every Santa has a ball? Does he ride a red-nosed reindeer? Does a ton upon his sleigh? Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?

CHORUS So here it is, ‘Merry Christmas’, Every- -body's having fun, Look to the future now, it's only just begun.

Are you waiting for the family to arrive? Are you sure you’ve got the room to spare inside? Does your granny always tell ya’ That the old songs are the best? Then she’s up and rock and rollin’ with the rest.

CHORUS So here it is, ‘Merry Christmas’, Every- -body's having fun, Look to the future now, it's only just begun

What will your daddy do when he sees your Mamma kissin’ Santa Claus? Ah-aaa– aa

Are you hanging up the stocking on the wall? Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall? Do you ride on down the hillside In a buggy you have made? When you land upon your head then you bin’ slayed!

18 | P a g e Version 1 CHORUS So here it is, ‘Merry Christmas’, Every- -body's having fun, Look to the future now, it's only just begun

19 | P a g e Version 1 I Believe in Father Christmas Greg Lake

They said there'll be snow at Christmas They said there'll be peace on earth But instead it just kept on raining A veil of tears for the virgin birth

I remember one Christmas morning A light and a distant choir And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell And their eyes full of tinsel and fire

[Instrumental Section]

They sold me a dream of Christmas They sold me a silent night And they told me a fairy story 'till I believed in the Israelite

And I believed in Father Christmas And I looked at the sky with excited eyes ‘till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn And I saw him and through his disguise

I wish you a hopeful Christmas I wish you a brave new year All anguish pain and sadness Leave your heart and let your road be clear

They said there’ll be snow at Christmas They said there’ll be peace on earth Hallelujah noel be it heaven or hell The Christmas we get you deserve

Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer & Jingle Bells Traditional

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 and 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! “

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh, hey! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.

We’re Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh, Across the fields we go, Laughing all the way. Bells on bobtails ring,

Making spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh, hey! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.

[Instrumental Section]

Rockin’ around the Christmas tree at the Christmas party hop. Mistletoe hung where you can see ev’ry couple tries to stop. Rockin’ around the Christmas tree, let the Christmas spirit ring. Later we’ll have some and we’ll do some caroling.

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear... Voices singing, “Let’s be jolly. Deck the halls with boughs of holly.”

Rockin’ around the Christmas tree, have a happy holiday. Ev’ryone dancing merrily in the new old fashioned way.

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear... Voices singing, “Let’s be jolly. Deck the halls with boughs of holly.”

22 | P a g e Version 1 All I Want for Christmas Is You Mariah Carey CHORDS USED IN THIS SONG

I don't want a lot for Christmas there is just one thing I need I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree I just want you for my own more than you could ever know Make my wish come true All I want for Christmas is you

I don't want a lot for Christmas there is just one thing I need I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree I don't need to hang my stocking there upon the fire place Santa Claus won't make me happy with a toy on Christmas day I just want you for my own More than you could ever know Make my wish come true All I want for Christmas is you baby

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas this is all I'm asking for I just want to see my baby standing right outside my door I just want you for my own More than you could ever know Make my wish come true all I want for Christmas is you

23 | P a g e Version 1 That Was The Worst Christmas Ever Sufjan Stevens

Going outside, shoveling snow in the driveway, driveway Taking our shoes, riding a sled down the hillside, hillside Can you say what you want, can you say what you want to be Can you be what you want, can you be what you want

Our father yells, throwing the gifts in the woodstove, woodstove My sister runs away, taking her books to the schoolyard, schoolyard In time the snow will rise, in time the snow will rise In time the Lord will rise, in time the Lord will rise

Silent night, holy night Silent night, nothing feels right

24 | P a g e Version 1 Deck the Halls John Ceiriog Hughes

Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la laa la la la la. Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la laa la la la la.

Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la, la la la, la la la. Troll the ancient tide carol, Fa la la la laa la la la la.

See the blazing Yule before us, Fa la la la laa la la la la. Strike the harp and join the chorus. Fa la la la laa 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 laa la la la la.

Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la laa la la la la. Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la laa 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 laa la la la la.

25 | P a g e Version 1 Let it Snow Sammy Cahn

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 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.

26 | P a g e Version 1 Lonely This Christmas Mud

Try to imagine a house that’s not a home And try to imagine a Christmas all alone That’s where I'll be since you left me My tears could melt the snow What can I do? Without you I’ve got no place to go

It'll be lonely this Christmas without you to hold It'll be lonely this Christmas lonely and cold It’ll be cold so cold without you to hold this Christmas

Each time I remember the day you went away How I never listened to the things you had to say I just break down, when I look around The only things I see Are emptiness and loneliness and a humbling Christmas tree

It'll be lonely this Christmas without you to hold It'll be lonely this Christmas lonely and cold It’ll be cold so cold without you to hold this Christmas

29 | P a g e Version 1 Frosty the Snowman Walter "Jack" Rollins and Steve Nelson

Frosty the Snow Man was a jolly happy soul With a corn-cob pipe and a button nose And two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the Snow Man 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 put it on his head He began to dance around oh

Frosty the Snow Man as alive as he could be And the children say he could laugh and play Just the same as you and me

Frosty the Snow Man Knew the sun was hot that day So he said let's run and we'll have some fun Before I melt away

Down to the village with a broomstick in his hand Running here and there all around the square Saying 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

Frosty the Snow Man had to hurry on his way But he waved goodbye saying don't you cry I'll be back again someday I'll be back again some day

31 | P a g e Version 1 Walking in a Winter Wonderland Dean Martin

Sleigh bells ring are you listening In the lane snow is glistening A beautiful sight we're happy to night Walking 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 Walking 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've made Walking 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

When it snows ain't it thrilling Though your nose gets a chilling We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way Walking in a winter wonderland

32 | P a g e Version 1 Mary’s Boy Child

Boney M

Long time ago in so the Holy Bible say Mary's boy child Jesus Christ Was born on Christmas Day

Hark now hear the angels sing A king was born today And man will live for evermore Because of Christmas day Mary's boy child Jesus Christ Was born on Christmas Day

While shepherds watch their flock by night They see a bright new shining star They hear a choir sing a song The music seemed to come from a far

Hark now hear the angels sing A king was born today And man will live for evermore Because of Christmas day

Now Joseph and his wife Mary came to Bethlehem that night They found no place to bear the child Not a single room was in sight

And then they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn And in a manger cold and dark Mary’s little boy was born

Hark now hear the angels sing A king was born today And man will live for evermore Because of Christmas day Mary's boy child Jesus Christ Was born on Christmas Day

33 | P a g e Version 1 White Christmas Bing Crosby

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the tree-tops glisten And children listen to hear sleigh-bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas With every I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the tree-tops glisten And children listen to hear sleigh-bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white

34 | P a g e Version 1 Mistletoe & Wine Cliff Richard

Intro: [Instrumental Section]

The child is a king, the carollers sing, the old has passed, there’s a new beginning. Dreams of Santa, dreams of snow, fingers numb, faces aglow.

Christmas time, mistletoe and wine, children singing Christian rhyme. With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree, a time to rejoice in the good that we see.

A time for living, a time for believing, a time for trusting, not deceiving. Love and laughter and joy ever after, ours for the taking, just follow the master.

Christmas time, mistletoe and wine, children singing Christian rhyme. With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree, a time to rejoice in the good that we see.

[Instrumental Section]

It’s a time for giving, a time for getting, a time for forgiving and for forgetting. Christmas is love, Christmas is peace, a time for hating and fighting to cease.

Christmas time, mistletoe and wine, children singing Christian rhyme. With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree, a time to rejoice in the good that we see.

Christmas time, mistletoe and wine, children singing Christian rhyme. With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree, a time to rejoice in the good that we see.

Said Santa to a girl child, "What'd please you most to get?" "A little baby doll that could cry, sleep, drink and wet" Then away went Rudolph, whizzin' like a Sabre jet

Run Run Rudolph, Santa's gotta make it to town Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down Run run Rudolph, I’m reelin' like a merry-go-round

Said Santa to a boy child, "What have you been longing for?" "Well all I want for Christmas is a rock'n'roll electric guitar" Then away went Rudoph, whizzin' like a shooting star

Run Run Rudolph, Santa's gotta make it to town Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down Run run Rudolph, I’m reelin' like a merry-go-round

36 | P a g e Version 1 When a Child is Born Zacar & Jay

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na

A ray of hope flickers in the sky, A tiny star lights up way up high, All across the land dawns a brand new morn, This comes to pass when a child is born.

A silent wish sails the seven seas, The winds of change whisper in the trees All the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn, This comes to pass when a child is born.

A rosy dawn settles all around, You get the feel you’re on solid ground For a spell or two no-one seems forlorn, This comes to pass when a child is born.

It’s all a dream, an illusion now, It must come true sometime soon somehow. All across the land dawns a brand new morn, This comes to pass when a child is born.

[Instrumental Section]

Snow is falling all around me Children playing , having fun. It's the season of love and under- -standing, Merry Christmas everyone!

Time for parties and celeb--ration People dancing all night long Time for presents and ex changing kisses Time for singing Christmas songs.

We're gonna have a party tonight, I'm gonna find that girl, Underneath the misteltoe, and kiss by candlelight .

Room is swaying, records playing All the old songs, love to hear. Oh I wish that every day was Christmas What a nice way to spend a year.

We're gonna have a party tonight, I'm gonna find that girl, Underneath the misteltoe, and kiss by candlelight

39 | P a g e Version 1

Do They Know it’s Christmas? Band Aid

It's Christmas time, there’s no need to be afraid. At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade. And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy, Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time.

But say a prayer; pray for the other ones, At Christmas time, it's hard, but when you're having fun There's a world outside your window, And it's a world of dread and fear, Where the only water flowing is The bitter sting of tears. And the Christmas bells that ring there Are the clanging chimes of doom. Well, tonight thank God it’s them, instead of you.

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time. The greatest gift they’ll get this year is life. Oh Oh Oh Where nothing ever grows, no rain nor rivers flow, Do they know it’s Christmas time at all?

[Instrumental Section]

Here’s to you; Raise a glass for everyone. Here’s to them; Underneath that burning sun Do they know it’s Christmas time at all?

Feed the world! Feed the world! Feed the world! Let them know it’s Christmas time again Feed the world! Let them know it’s Christmas time again Feed the world! Let them know it’s Christmas time again

40 | P a g e Version 1 Elvis Preseley

I'll have a blue Christmas without you,

I'll be so blue just thinking about you.

Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree,

Won't be the same dear, if you’re not here with me.

And when those blue snowflakes start fallin’,

That’s when those blue memories start callin’

You’ll be doin’ all right with your Christmas of white

But I’ll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas.

Mmm mm mm mm Mmm mm mm mm

Mmm mm mm mm Mmm mm mm mm

Mmm mm mm mm Mmm mm mm mm

Mmm mm mm mm mm mm

You’ll be doing’ all right with your Christmas of white

But I’ll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas.

Light the lights, ring the chimes, come on in; it's party time. Raise a glass for auld lang syne, come on, rock it up for all mankind. It’s good to see friends I know, kissing under the mistletoe. I love to hear the children sing, it looks like Santa's gonna bring...

Another Rock 'N' Roll Christmas, another Christmas Rock 'N' Roll. Presents hanging from the tree, you'll never guess what you've got from me! Another Rock 'N' Roll Christmas, another Christmas Rock 'N' Roll. We better hold each other tight; you never know, it might snow tonight.

Guys and girls, stay up late, so excited they can't wait. Let there be peace on Earth; come on, Rock 'N' Roll for all your worth. We're gonna laugh, we're gonna sing, we're gonna make the rafters ring. I'll pull my cracker, let me be, the Silver Star upon your tree.

Another Rock 'N' Roll Christmas, another Christmas Rock 'N' Roll. All dressed up, so here we go, do I hear sleigh bells in the snow? Another Rock 'N' Roll Christmas, another Christmas Rock 'N' Roll. To-night old Santa never, ever stops; he bops above the chimney tops.

You'll be rocking, in your stocking, When you see your big su-prise. 'Cos I'll be rocking, in your stocking, You won't believe your big blue eyes

Come on in and join the fun; it's Christmas time for everyone. May your days be merry and bright, ‘Cos there ain't gonna be no silent night! See the stars, dance and ring, soon they're gonna see the New Year in. No-one's looking, kiss me quick; come on, Rock 'N' Roll for old Saint Nick.
