You’d better not pout In the bleak mid-winter If I were a shepherd Santa Claus… he’s comin’ to town. I’m telling you why: Frosty wind made moan, I would bring a lamb, Santa Claus is coming to town. Earth stood hard as iron, If I were a wise man I just came back from a lovely trip Water like a stone; I would do my part, Along the Milky Way, The kids in girl- and boy-land Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Yet what I can I give Him: I stopped off at the North Pole Will have a jubilee; Snow on snow, Give my heart. To spend a holiday. He’s gonna build a toyland town, In the bleak mid-winter, All around the Christmas tree. Long ago. Words: Christina Georgina Rossetti I called on dear old Santa Claus Music: “Cranham” – Gustav Theodore Holst, Oh! You’d better watch out! arr. Alexander l’Estrange To see what I could see, Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him, Better not cry, better not pout He took me to his workshop Nor earth sustain; I’m telling you why: 3 It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas And told his plan to me. Heaven and earth shall flee away, Santa Claus is coming to town. When He comes to reign: So, you’d better watch out It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas In the bleak mid-winter You better not cry, Get on down: old Santa’s comin’ to town; Ev’rywhere you go; A stable-place sufficed; You’d better not pout Don’t frown, ‘cos it’s in the bag! Take a look in the five-and-ten, The Lord God Almighty, I’m telling you why: Glistening once again Jesus Christ. Santa Claus is coming to town. Oh! You’d better watch out! With candy canes and silver lanes aglow. Better not cry, better not pout Angels and archangels He’s making a list, I’m telling you why: It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, May have gathered there, And checking it twice, Santa Claus is coming to town. Toys in ev’ry store, Cherubim and seraphim Gonna find out who’s naughty or nice But the prettiest sight to see Get on down: old Santa’s comin’ to town; Thronged the air, Santa Claus is coming to town. Is the holly that will be Don’t frown, ‘cos it’s in the bag! But only His mother On your own front door. He sees you when you’re sleeping In her maiden bliss, He knows if you’re awake, Words: Haven Gillespie Worshipped the Beloved, He knows if you’ve been bad or good Music: John Frederick Coots, arr. Alexander L’Estrange With a kiss. So be good for goodness sake!

- 4 - - 5 - A pair of hop-a-long boots Is the holly that will be Still, still, still 6 It Came Upon the Midnight Clear And a pistol that shoots On your own front door. The babe is sleeping still Is the wish of Barney and Ben; It came upon the midnight clear, Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk Sure it’s Christmas time once more! Schlaf in himmlischer ruh… That glorious song of old, Is the hope of Janice and Jen; From angels bending near the earth Words: 19th Century German, trans. and amended And Mom and Dad can hardly wait Words: Meredith Willson To touch their harps of gold; Alexander L’Estrange Music: Meredith Willson arr. Alexander L’Estrange For school to start again. Music: Trad. Austrian, arr. L’Estrange “Peace on the earth, good will to men From heaven’s all-gracious King” It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 4 Still, Still, Still 5 Carol of the Bells The world in solemn stillness lay Ev’rywhere you go; To hear the angels sing. There’s a tree in the Grand Hotel, Still, still, still, Hark! How the bells, sweet silver bells, One in the park as well, Mein liebes kindlein still All seem to say, throw cares away Still through the cloven skies they come The sturdy kind that doesn’t mind the snow. Die Englein leise fur dich singen, Christmas is here, bringing good cheer, With peaceful wings unfurled, Und ferne glocken sanft erklingen, To young and old, meek and the bold, And still their heavenly music floats It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas; Still, still, still, Ding dong ding dong, that is their song, O’er all the weary world; Bells will start to ring, Mein liebes kindlein still With joyful ring, all carolling, Above its sad and lowly plains And the thing that will make them ring One seems to hear words of good cheer, They bend on hovering wing, Is the carol that you sing Sleep, sleep, sleep, From everywhere, filling the air, And ever o’er its Babel-sounds Right within your heart. The infant King is asleep Oh how they pound, raising the sound, The blessed angels sing. His peace and stillness all around you O’er hill and dale, telling their tale, It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas Heavenly rest and calm surround you Gaily they ring, while people sing Ev’rywhere you go; Yet with the woes of sin and strife Sleep, sleep, sleep, Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here, Take a look in the five-and-ten, The world has suffered long; The infant King is asleep Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas, Beneath the angel-strain have rolled Glistening once again Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas, With candy canes and silver lanes aglow. Two thousand years of wrong; Still, still, still On, on they send, on without end, And man, at war with man, hears not Their joyful tone to every home It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, The Babe is sleeping still The love song which they bring; Ding dong ding. Toys in ev’ry store, While angels all above are singing O hush the noise, ye men of strife, But the prettiest sight to see Peace to all the world He is bringing And hear the angels sing! Words & Music: Peter J Wilhousky, arr. Keith Roberts

Then how all the reindeer loved him, I’ll be back again someday.”) When, with the ever-circling years He was made of snow, but the children know And they shouted out with glee, You know Dasher and Dancer Comes round the age of gold; How he came to life one day. “Rudolph the red-nosed Reindeer And Prancer and Vixen, When Peace shall over all the earth, You’ll go down in history!” Comet and Cupid and Donner und Blitzen, Its ancient splendours fling, There must have been some magic Frosty and Rudolph they’re both out of sight, And all the world give back the song, In that old silk hat they found, Frosty the Snowman, with Rudolph’s story done We sing of their stories this very Christmas night. Which now the angels sing. Amen. For when they placed it on his head, (Talkin’ ‘bout Frosty) They’ll go down in history all right! He began to dance around!
