She's Coming Home (R. Gardner, K. Morrill)
There’s a feeling in the air Laughing people everywhere I’ve been sad all year But Christmas time is finally here Oh can you see what a Merry Christmas this will be? It’s vacation time and she’s comin’ home to me We’ll have lots of fun Singing Christmas carols everyone My love for her I’ll show When I catch her under the mistletoe Oh can you see what a Merry Christmas this will be? It’s vacation time and she’s comin’ home to me She went away to school last September Now I’m so glad ‘cause it’s finally December Together every day ‘Till she has to go away Out walkin’ in the snow Wishin’ she wouldn’t have to go Oh can you see what a Merry Christmas this will be? It’s vacation time and she’s comin’ home to me Can you see what a Merry Christmas this will be? It’s vacation time and she’s comin’ home to me She went away to school last September Now I’m so glad ‘cause it’s finally December Together every day ‘Till she has to go away Yeah walkin’ in the snow Wishin’ she wouldn’t have to go Oh can you see what a Merry Christmas this will be? It’s vacation time and she’s comin’ home to me Oh she’s comin’ home now She’s comin’ home She’s comin’ home She’s comin’ home She's comin' home |
Maybe This Year (R. Gardner, K Morrill)
I’ve been waitin’ so long For you to come home Maybe this year Could be my year To have you back home for Christmas I’ve already set the scene With presents ‘neath the tree Maybe this year Could be my year To have you back home for Christmas When you left the snow was falling down upon us Now I dream the snow will bring you back once more Don’t send cards and gifts my way Baby, baby rush home today Maybe this year Could be my year To have you back home for Christmas Say you’ll come home Home for Christmas Oh, I want you home Home for Christmas Please come back home |
Christmas Spirit?? (R. Gardner, K. Morrill)
In the air, can’t you hear it? It’s everywhere that Christmas spirit Everybody runnin’ ‘round all over town Find out if you shop around Get yourself in line, buy a big ball of twine Or anything you can get your hands on Don’t care what you give, just gotta get a gift Don’t know what you’re givin’ it for The only thing that counts is the granted amount That comes from an expensive store In the air, can’t you hear it? It’s everywhere that Christmas spirit Rush home with a tree half-weathered half green And strangle it to death in tinsel Pay a dollar ninety-eight for a ten cent wreath Hang it on your door to make it look useful Ma’s in the kitchen making apple pies To feed to the relatives with all their lies say “you’re welcome” It’s in the air, can’t you hear it? Everywhere that Christmas spirit Gotta take the children down to see the fat clown who pretends to be what he ain’t He’s a dime-store commercialized manufactured product recallin’ a sinner from a saint So set him on his knee and teach him to bleed you of all your last-minute savin’s It’s that time of year so fill it with cheer and satisfy all them cravin’s In the air, can’t you hear it? It’s everywhere that Christmas spirit When the big day arrives in the mansions and dives Everyone is having a fiasco Only happens once a year, so spread the cheer Unless that cheer comes from a bottle Outside on the street I ask the first man I meet, “Whose birthday do you think it is today?” He stopped dead, scratched his head, looked thoughtful, then he said, “I’m not sure, but I think it’s one of our presidents’? “Ain’t it?” In the air, can’t you hear it? It’s everywhere that Christmas spirit It’s Christmas spirit It’s in the air I can smell it Can’t you? |
The Christmas Song (M. Torme, B. Wells)
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 Santa’s on his way He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies in his sleigh And every mother’s child is gonna spy To see if reindeers really know how to fly And so I’m offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two And although it’s been said many times, many ways Merry Christmas Merry Christmas Merry Christmas to you So I’m offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two Although it’s been said many times, many ways Merry Christmas Merry Christmas Merry Christmas to you |
