COMMUNITY CHORUS PROJECT, KIDZU CHILDREN’S MUSEUM & UNIVERSITY PLACE PRESENT

A HOLIDAY SING ALONG!

Conducted by Caroline Miceli & Accompanied by Scott Schlesinger

JINGLE BELLS A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots Is the wish of Barney and Ben; Refrain: , jingle bells, Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh Is the hope of Janice and Jen; Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh It's beginning to look a lot like ev'rywhere you go; Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well, Over fields we go, laughing all the way The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow. Bells on bob tail ring, making spirits bright. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas; What fun it is to ride & sing a sleigh tonight! (Refrain) Soon the bells will start, And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you A day or two ago I thought I'd take a ride sing right within your heart And soon Miss Fanny Bright was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank. Misfortune seemed his lot, is Coming to Town We ran into a drifted bank and there we got upsot. (Refrain) You better watch out, you better not cry DECK THE HALLS You better not pout, I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town 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 He's making a list, he's checking it twice Don we now our gay apparel Fa la la, la la la, la la la He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice Troll the ancient Yuletide carol Fa la la la la, la la la la Santa Claus is coming, Santa Claus is coming to town

See the blazing before us Fa la la la la la la la la He sees you when you're sleeping Strike the harp and join the chorus Fa la la la la la la la la He knows when you're awake Follow me in merry measure Fa la la la la la la la la He knows when you've been bad or good While I tell of Yuletide treasure Fa la la la la la la la la So be good for goodness sake

Fast away the old year passes Fa la la la la, la la la la Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry Hail the new, ye lads and lasses Fa la la la la, la la la la You better not pout, I'm telling you why Sing we joyous, all together Fa la la la la, la la la la Santa Claus is coming, Santa Claus is coming to town Heedless of the wind and weather Fa la la la la, la la la la

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of stopping, O Come All Ye Faithful And I've bought some corn for popping, The lights are turned way down low, O come, all ye faithful, joyful and Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! O come ye, O come ye to ;

Come and behold Him, born the King of angels; When we finally kiss goodnight, How I'll hate going out in the storm! Refrain: Oh come, let us adore Him x 3 But if you'll really hold me tight, Christ, the Lord! All the way home I'll be warm. Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation, Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above! The fire is slowly dying, Glory to God, glory in the highest; (Refrain) And, my dear, we're still good-byeing, But as long as you love me so, Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! , to Thee be all glory given; Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing; (Refrain) Away in A

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Away in a manger, no crib for His bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head; You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, The stars in the heavens looked down where He lay, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen. The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all? The cattle are lowing, the poor Baby wakes, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes. And if you ever saw it you would even say it glows I love Thee, Lord Jesus; Look down from the sky And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh. All of the other reindeer used to laugh & call him names They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever and love me I pray! Then one foggy Santa came to say Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, Rudolph with your nose so bright And fit us for Heaven to live with Thee there. Won't you guide my sleigh tonight? Then all the reindeer loved him And they shouted out with glee Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer you'll go down in history! 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 The First Noel, the angel did say How he came to life one day. Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay In fields where they lay keeping their sheep There must have been some magic in On a cold winter's night that was so deep That old silk hat they found. For when they placed it on his head Refrain: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, born is the King of Israel! He began to dance around.

They looked up and saw a star O, Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be, Shining in the East beyond them far And the children say he could laugh and play And to the earth it gave great light Just the same as you and me. And so it continued both day and night (Refrain) Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Let It Snow Look at Frosty go! Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Oh the weather outside is frightful, Over the hills of snow! But the fire is so delightful, And since we've no place to go,

For Christ is born of Mary and gathered all above, While mortals sleep the angels keep Their watch of wond’ring love.

Repeat the sounding joy x 2 O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree Repeat, repeat the sounding joy Thy leaves are so unchanging

He rules the world with truth and grace O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree And makes the nations prove Much pleasure do you bring me x 2 The glories of his righteousness And wonders of his love x 2 For ev’ry year the Christmas tree And wonders, and wonders of his love Brings to us all both joy and glee O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree Much pleasure do you bring me.

Silver Bells Baby It’s Cold Outside

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside In the air there's a feeling of Christmas I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice And on every street corner you'll hear My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry? Silver bells, (silver bells) Silver bells, (silver bells) Father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar It's Christmas time in the city So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurryMaybe Ring-a-ling (Ring-a-ling) hear them ring (hear them ring) just a half a drink more - Put some records on while I pour Soon it will be Christmas day It’s so late at night - Baby, it's bad out there Strings of street lights, even stop lights Who turned out the light? - No cabs to be had out there Blink of bright red an' green I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now As the shoppers rush home with their treasures To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch I ought to say no, no, no sir - Mind if I move in closer? This is Santa's big scene At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in And above all this bustle you'll hear hurting my pride? I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out Home for the Holidays Ah, but it's cold outside

I simply must go – But baby it’s cold outside Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays, The answer is “No” – But baby it’s cold outside 'Cause no matter how far away you roam You're welcome has been – How lucky that you dropped in? When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly face So nice and warm – Look out the window at that storm! For the holidays, you can't beat home, sweet home There's bound to be talk tomorrow I met a man who lives in Tennessee - Think of my life long sorrow And he was headin' for Pennsylvania At least there will be plenty implied And some home-made pumpkin pie - If you caught pneumonia and died From Pennsylvania folks a travelin' down I really can't stay To Dixie's sunny shore - Get over that hold out From Atlantic to Pacific, gee Ah, but it's cold outside The traffic is terrific Oh, baby, it's cold outside x 2

Oh there's no place like home for the holidays, 'Cause no matter how far away you roam If you want to be happy in a million ways We Wish You a Merry Christmas For the holidays, you can't beat home, sweet home We wish you a Merry Christmas We wish you a Merry Christmas Have Yourself a Merry We wish you a Merry Christmas And a Happy New Year Have yourself a merry little Christmas.
