Christmas Songs

Christmas Medley
I saw Mummy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
She didn’t hear me creep
Downstairs to have a peep
She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep
Oh I saw Mummy tickle
Santa Claus
Underneath his beard
so snowy white
What a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mummy kissing Santa Claus
last night

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glowed
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 to night ?”
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
“Rudolph, the red nosed reindeer,
you’ll go down in history.”
 
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell swing and jingle bell ring
Snowin’ and blowin’ up bushells of fun
Now the jingle rock has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin’ and prancin’ in Jingle Bell square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it’s the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time, It’s a swell time
To go ridin’ in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and mingle to a beat that’s jinglin’
That’s the jingle bell rock.

That’s the jingle bell,
That’s the jingle bell,
That’s the jingle bell rock 

All I want for Christmas is You 

Good King Wenceslas

Good King Wenceslas looked out
On the Feast of Stephen
When the snow lay round about
Deep and crisp and even
Brightly shone the moon that night
Though the frost was cruel
When a poor man came in sight
Gathering winter fuel

Hither, page, and stand by me,
If thou knowst it, telling
Yonder peasant, who is he?
Where and what his dwelling?
Sire, he lives a good league hence,
Underneath the mountain
Right against the forest fence
By Saint Agnes fountain.

Bring me flesh and bring me wine
Bring me pine logs hither
Thou and I shall see him dine
When we bear them thither.
Page and monarch, forth they went
Forth they went together
Through the rude winds wild lament
And the bitter weather

Sire, the night is darker now
And the wind blows stronger
Fails my heart, I know not how
I can go no longer.
Mark my footsteps, good my page
Tread thou in them boldly
Thou shall find the winters rage
Freeze thy blood less coldly.

In his masters step he trod
Where the snow lay dinted
Heat was in the very sod
Which the Saint had printed
Therefore, Christian men, be sure
Wealth or rank possessing
Ye, who now will bless the poor
Shall yourselves find blessing

All I want For Christmas is My Two Front Teeth 
(with guitar / ukulele chords)

C                   G                              C

Everybody stops and stares at me
                                                G                          C

These two front teeth are gone as you can see

G                                                             C          G       C
I don’t know just who to blame for this catastrophe

D7                                                                   G7
But my one wish on Christmas Eve is as plain as it can be

C                                                    D7
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
        G7                               C
My two front teeth, my two front teeth
                            C7                  F                D7
Gee if I could only have my two front teeth
          G7                                     C
Then I could wish you Merry Christmas
                                                 
     F
It seems so long since I could say
 C                    G7               C         E7
Sister Susie sitting on a thistle
Am
Gosh oh gee, how happy I'd be
    D7                G7
If I could only whistle

C                                                    D7
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
        G7                                        C
My two front teeth,  see my two front teeth
                            C7                  F                D7
Gee if I could only have my two front teeth
     G7                                            C

Then I could wish you Merry Christmas.

I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas (G)
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy


I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door,
that's the easy thing to do


I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there


I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too


I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian


I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there


I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage


I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise when I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too!

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

You better watch out,
You better not cry,
Better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is comin' to town.

He's making a list
And checking it twice,
Gonna find out 
Who's naughty and nice.
Santa Claus is comin' to town.

He sees you when you're sleepin',
He knows when you're awake,
he knows if you've been bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake.

You better watch out, 
You better not cry,
Better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is comin' to town.

When Santa Got Stuck Up the Chimney 
[Chorus 1]
     G         D7           G    Em
When Santa got stuck up the chim-ney,
   C        G
He began to shout:
     C                    G       Em
“You girls and boys won't get any toys,
   A7                D7
If you don't pull me out.
   G                       B7
My beard is black, there's soot in my sack,
   C                G     D7
My nose is tickling too!”
     G         D7           G    E7
When Santa got stuck up the chim-ney,
  A7      D7      G      A7  D7  G
A-choo, A-choo, A-choo!
 
[Verse 1]
G      D7     G              Em
On the eve be-fore Christmas Day,
     C     G        A7           D7
when Santa Claus ar-rived on his sleigh,
G        D7         G
Into the chimney he climbed with his sack,
    A                  A7           D
But he was so fat - he couldn't get back.
D                   A          A7                  D
Oh, what a terrible plight- he stayed up there all night.
 
[Chorus 2]
     G         D7           G    Em   C           G
When Santa got stuck up the chim-ney, he began to yell:
   C                   G         Em
Oh hurry, please, it's oh such a squeeze;
    A7                  D7
The reindeer's stuck as well!
    G                      B7
His head's up there in the cold night air,
C                        G      D7
His Nose was red now its BLUE!”
     G         D7           G    E7

A-choo, A-choo, A-choo!
 
[Verse 2]
G       D7          G          Em
Rudolph tugged with all of his might,
    C     G         A7         D7
But Santa Claus was stuck very tight.
   G            D7           G
He wriggled and jiggled, and cried with a frown:
      A                  A7        D
“I’ll never get up; I’ll never get down!
D                  A        A7                  D
Oh what a terrible fuss; we should have come by bus!
 
[Chorus 3]
     G         D7           G    Em
When Santa got stuck up the chim-ney,
   C        G
He began to shout:
     C                    G       Em
“You girls and boys won't get any toys,
   A7                D7
If you don't pull me out.
   G                       B7
My beard is black, there's soot in my sack,
   C                G     D7
My nose is tickling too!”
     G         D7           G    E7
When Santa got stuck up the chim-ney,
  A7      D7      G       A7      D7      G
A-choo, A-choo, A-choo! A-choo, A-choo, A-choo!

Away in a Manger

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing the Baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus look down from the sky
And stay by my bedside,  'til morning is nigh.

I'm gettin' nothin' for Christmas 

I broke my Chrome book on Jack's head; somebody snitched on me.
I hid a frog in my sister's bed; somebody snitched on me.
I spilled my drink on grandma’s rug, I made Nathan eat a bug,
broke my mother’s coffee mug; somebody snitched on me.

(chorus) Oh,
I'm gettin' nothin' for Christmas. Mummy and Daddy are mad.
I'm gettin' nothin' for Christmas,' Cause I ain't been nothin' but bad.

(verse)
I put a tack on teacher's chair, somebody snitched on me.
I put some gum in Taylor's hair; somebody snitched on me.
I got caught flicking rubber bands, climbed a tree and tore my pants.
Filled the sugar bowl with ants; somebody snitched on me.

 

So,(repeat chorus)

(verse)I won't be seeing Santa Claus; somebody snitched on me.
He won't come visit me because somebody snitched on me.
Next year I know I’ll behave, next year I'll be good, just wait.
I'd start now but it's too late; somebody snitched on me.

(repeat chorus)
