CHRISTMAS CAROLING ON LINCOLN ROAD & OPEN MIC AT THE NATIONAL HOTEL
LYRICS
CHESTNUTS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE/C
Intro Song stand and Sing – Segafredo/Colony Theatre
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey And some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santaʹs on his way
He’s loaded lots of toys And goodies on his sleigh
And every motherʹs child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer Really know how to fly.
And so Iʹm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it’s been said Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas to you
Merry Christmas to you.
IM DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS/ key B-Flat
stand and Sing – Segafredo/Colony Theatre
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I 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 every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmas’ be white
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I 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 every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmas’ be white
JINGLE BELLS – Key of D
Walking/Strolling Song
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O’er 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!
In a one horse open sleigh!
RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER/key of A
Walking/Strolling Song
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 how all the reindeer loved him,
As they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the rednosed Reindeer
You’ʹll go down in history

LET IT SNOW/key of D
Strolling Arrive to Euclid Circle
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’ve bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I’ll hate going out in the storm
But if you’ll really hold me tight
All the way home Iʹll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we’re still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
WINTER WONDERLAND/key C
Standing Euclid Circle
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight
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
SILENT NIGHT/D
Standing Euclid Circle
Silent night, Holy night All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin, mother and child
Holy infant, tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, Holy night —-Shepherds quake, at the sight
Glories stream from heaven above
Heavenly, hosts sing Hallelujah.
Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born.
Silent night, Holy night—– Son of God, love’ʹs pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace.
SILVER BELLS/E
Standing Euclid Circle
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells, (silver bells) silver bells (silver bells)
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, (ring-a-ling)
Hear them ring, (hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of street lights, even stoplights
Blinkin’ bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch
This is Santa’s big day
And above all this bustle you hear
Silver bells, (silver bells) silver bells (silver bells)
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, (ring-a-ling)
Hear them ring, (hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas day
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks (Silver bells)
Dressed in holiday style (Silver bells)
In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas (It’s Christmas time in the city)
Children laughing, people passing (Ring-a-ling)
Meeting smile after smile (Hear them ring)
Very soon it will be Christmas day
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul
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 how he came to life one day
There must have been some magic in that
Old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around
O, Frosty the snowman
Was alive as he could be
And the children say he could laugh
And play just the same as you and me
Thumpetty thump thump Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpetty thump thump Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow
Ooh Frosty the snowman knew
The sun was hot that day
So he said, “Let’s run and
We’ll have some fun
Now 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!”
Mmm Frosty the snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye saying
“Don’t you cry
I’ll be back again some day.”
Thumpetty thump thump Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpetty thump thump Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow
