SLEIGH BELLS RING, ARE YOU LIST'NIN?
IN THE LANE, SNOW IS GLIST'NIN'
A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT, WE'RE HAPPY TONIGHT,
WALKIN' IN A WINTER WONDERLAND.

GONE AWAY IS THE BLUE BIRD, (blue bird)
HERE TO STAY IS A NEW BIRD, (new bird)
HE SINGS A LOVE SONG, (aha) AS WE GO ALONG (aha)
WALKIN' IN A WINTER WONDERLAND.


IN THE MEADOW WE CAN BUILD A SNOWMAN, (snowman)
THEN PRETEND THAT HE IS PARSON BROWN;
HE'LL SAY, "ARE YOU MARRIED?" WE'LL SAY, "NO MAN! (no man)
BUT YOU CAN DO THE JOB WHEN YOU'RE IN TOWN."


LATER ON, WE'LL CONSPIRE
AS WE DREAM BY THE FIRE (fire-fire)
TO FACE UNAFRAID, (aha) THE PLANS THAT WE MADE (aha)
WALKIN' IN A WINTER WONDERLAND.

"Did you get that? Great! That's it for me!"

I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS,
I WANNA GET ALL THE TOYS.
JUST LIKE SANTA CLAUS I'D GIVE THEM AWAY
TO ALL THE GIRLS AND BOYS.

THEN IF I COULD BE SANTA CLAUS,
COMING THROUGH FOR EV'RYONE
AND THE GIFTS THAT I'D BRING COULD MAKE YOUR HEART SING,
WE'D HAVE SO MUCH FUN.


SANTA CLAUS IS SOMEONE WHO COMES JUST ONCE A YEAR,
BUT I COULD BE THERE EV'RY DAY, BRINGING CHRISTMAS CHEER.


I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS,
I WANNA RIDE IN THE SLEIGH.
THEN I'D FLY THROUGH THE AIR
AND CATCH YOU A STAR TONIGHT FOR CHRISTMAS DAY.


SANTA CLAUS IS SOMEONE WHO COMES JUST ONCE A YEAR,
BUT I COULD BE THERE EV'RY DAY, BRINGING CHRISTMAS CHEER.


IF I COULD BE SANTA CLAUS,
I'D MAKE EV'RY DREAM COME TRUE
AND SIGN EV'RY CARD EXACTLY THE SAME
WITH LOVE FROM ME TO YOU.


OO -


(I WANNA BE, I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS)
I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS.
(I WANNA BE, I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS)
I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS.
DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO, DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO (I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS)
I WANNA BE SANTA CLAUS.


MERRY CHRISTMAS EV'RYBODY!!
HOO! HOO! HOO! HOO! HOO!


"WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE FOR CHRISTMAS, LITTLE PUDEL?"


IT'S A WALTZ, IT'S A WALTZ AND I'M HAPPY.

COME THEY TOLD ME, PA-RUM PUM-PUM-PUM,
A NEW BORN KING TO SEE, PA-RUM PUM-PUM-PUM,
OUR FINEST GIFTS WE BRING, PA-RUM PUM-PUM-PUM
TO LAY BEFORE THE KING, PA-RUM PUM-PUM-PUM, RUM-PUM-PUM-PUM, RUM-PUM-PUM-PUM.
SO TO HONOR HIM, PA-RUM PUM-PUM-PUM, WHEN WE COME.

LITTLE BABY, PA-RUM PUM-PUM-PUM,
I'M A POOR BOY TOO, PA-RUM PUM-PUM-PUM,
I HAVE NO GIFT TO BRING, PA-RUM PUM-PUM-PUM
THAT'S FIT TO GIVE OUR KING, PA-RUM PUM-PUM-PUM, RUM-PUM-PUM-PUM, RUM-PUM-PUM-PUM.
SHALL I PLAY FOR YOU, PA-RUM PUM-PUM-PUM, ON MY DRUM.


MARY NODDED, PA-RUM PUM-PUM-PUM,
THE OX AND LAMB KEPT TIME, PA-RUM PUM-PUM-PUM,
I PLAYED MY DRUM FOR HIM, PA-RUM PUM-PUM-PUM
I PLAYED MY BEST FOR HIM, PA-RUM PUM-PUM-PUM, RUM-PUM-PUM-PUM, RUM-PUM-PUM-PUM.
THEN HE SMILED AT ME, PA-RUM PUM-PUM-PUM, ME AND MY DRUM.

RUDOLPH, THE RED-NOSED REINDEER
HAD A VERY SHINY NOSE (a shiny nose)
AND IF YOU EVER SAW IT
YOU WOULD EVEN SAY IT GLOWS. (it glows)

ALL OF THE OTHER REINDEER
USED TO LAUGH AND CALL HIM NAMES. (they 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 HOW THE REINDEERS LOVED HIM,
AND THEY SHOUTED OUT WITH GLEE (they shout with glee)
RUDOLPH, THE RED-NOSED REINDEER,
YOU'LL GO DOWN IN HISTORY.


"THEN HOW THE REINDEERS LOVED HIM,
THEY REALLY, REALLY LOVED HIM.
THEY USED TO SAY, RUDOLPH, WE LOVE YOU!!
AND RUDOLPH WOULD SAY"


THEN ONE FOGGY CHRISTMAS EVE, SANTA CAME TO SAY,
HE SAID, "SANTA,
NO HE DIDN'T, HE SAID, "RUDOLPH, HA, HA, HA, WON'T (won't) YOU GUIDE (guide) MY SLEIGH TONIGHT?"


WELL, THEN HOW THE REINDEER LOVED HIM, (they really, really loved him)
AND THEY SHOUTED OUT WITH GLEE (they shout with glee)
RUDOLPH, THE RED-NOSED REINDEER,
YOU'LL GO DOWN IN HISTORY.


RUDOLPH, THE RED-NOSED REINDEER,
RUDOLPH, THE RED-NOSED REINDEER,
RUDOLPH, THE RED-NOSED REINDEER,
RINGO, THE RED-NOSED REINDEER, (Ringo)
YOU'LL GO DOWN IN HISTORY.

IT'S CHRISTMAS AND YOU'RE NOT HERE,
THE SNOW IS FALLING DOWN, LIKE MY TEARS.
I SEE YOUR PRESENTS BY THE TREE,
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE NOT WITH ME
ON CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS EVE.

IT'S CHRISTMAS WITH STARS ABOVE,
HOW MANY TIMES HAS IT BEEN SAID A TIME FOR LOVE?
AND UNDERNEATH THE MISTLETOE
I'M STANDING HERE ALL ALONE
ON CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS EVE.


I HEAR YOUR VOICE
I SEE YOUR SMILE
YOU WERE MY CHRISTMAS SONG.
BUT NOW YOU'RE GONE, NOW YOU'RE GONE.


IT'S CHRISTMAS, IT SEEMS SO LONG,
THE LIGHTS ARE ALL AROUND THE TREE BUT NOT TURNED ON.
I SAW YOUR FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW
I'D NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D REALLY GO
ON CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS EVE.


IT'S CHRISTMAS.


IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE.

MM-

TONIGHT'S THE CHRISTMAS DANCE IN LONDON TOWN,
THE LIGHTS ARE UP, THE SNOW IS FALLING DOWN.
LIKE EV'RY YEAR I CATCH YOUR EYE ACROS THE FLOOR
BUT TOO AFRAID TO DO MUCH MORE.


AT THE CHRISTMAS DANCE,
THAT MAGIC TIME OF YEAR WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE.
YEH, THE CHRISTMAS DANCE,
THE ONLY DANCE I WANNA DANCE IS YOU.
THE MUSIC'S PLAYING, HEARTS ARE SWAYING TO THE RHYTHM OF ROMANCE
AT THE CHRISTMAS DANCE.


I COMBED MY HAIR AND STRAIGHTENED OUT MY TIE,
THIS YEAR I'M GONNA ASK YOU DO OR DIE
AND I'LL NEED EV'RY OUNCE OF COURAGE I CAN FIND,
FEET DON'T FAIL ME, LOVE BE KIND.


AT THE CHRISTMAS DANCE,
THAT MAGIC TIME OF YEAR WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE.
THE CHRISTMAS DANCE,
THE ONLY DANCE I WANNA DANCE IS YOU.
THE MUSIC'S PLAYING, HEARTS ARE SWAYING TO THE RHYTHM OF ROMANCE,
AT THE CHRISTMAS DANCE.


NO MORE SEARCHING LOVE AT LAST (no more searching love at last)
NO MORE GHOSTS OF CHRISTMAS PAST (no more ghosts of Christmas past)
UNDER THE MISTLETOE WE KISSED AND DANCED SO SLOW.


HO!


AND WHEN OUR CHILDREN ASK OF THE MEANING OF ROMANCE


AT THE CHRISTMAS DANCE,
THAT MAGIC TIME OF YEAR WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE.
AT THE CHRISTMAS DANCE,
THE ONLY DANCE I WANNA DANCE IS YOU.
THE MUSIC'S PLAYING, HEARTS ARE SWAYING TO THE RHYTHM OF ROMANCE,
AT THE CHRISTMAS DANCE.

DEAR SANTA, I KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME AGAIN,
HOW I LOVE TO SING THE SONGS.
AND EV'RYONE BECOMES A FRIEND
WHEN THEY START TO SING ALONG.

DEAR SANTA, I DON'T NEED A BRAND NEW TOY,
THE ONES I HAVE ARE WORKING FINE.
SO GIVE MY TOY TO ANOTHER GIRL OR BOY,
I HOPE YOU'LL GET IT THERE ON TIME


DEAR SANTA, WE NEED YOU HERE,
JUST GIVE US ONE PRESENT FOR A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, LET THE SLEIGH BELLS RING,
DEAR SANTA, BRING PEACE AND LOVE THAT WOULD BE EV'RYTHING.


DEAR SANTA, WELL, I'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
FROM JINGLE BELLS TO NO MORE WARS.
BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO CHANGE PEOPLE'S MINDS
I KNOW YOU'LL GET IT THERE ON TIME

I'M DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS,
JUST LIKE THE ONES WE USED TO KNOW.
WHERE THE TREETOPS GLISTEN, AND CHILDREN LISTEN
TO HEAR SLEIGH BELLS IN THE SNOW.

I'M DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS,
WITH EV'RY CHRISTMAS CARD I WRITE.
MAY YOUR DAYS BE MERRY AND BRIGHT
AND MAY ALL YOUR CHRISTMASES BE WHITE.


"BLUE, MAYBE PINK, OR THAT A LITTLE CERISSE
ALL THE COLOURS OF THE RAINBOW."


I'M DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS,
WITH EV'RY CHRISTMAS CARD I WRITE.
MAY YOUR DAYS BE MERRY AND BRIGHT
AND MAY ALL YOUR CHRISTMASES BE WHITE. (may all your Chrismases be white)
AND MAY ALL YOUR CHRISTMASES BE WHITE. (may all your Chrismases be white)
AND MAY ALL YOUR CHRISTMASES BE WHITE.
