Ding dong merrily on high

Ding dong! merrily on high

In heav’n the bells are ringing:

Ding dong! verily the sky

Is riv’n with Angel singing.

Gloria,

Hosanna in excelsis!

E’en so here below, below,

Let steeple bells be swungen,

And “Io, io, io!”

By priest and people sungen.

Gloria,

Hosanna in excelsis!

Pray you, dutifully prime

Your matin chime, ye ringers;

May you beautifully rime

Your evetime song, ye singers.

Gloria,

Hosanna in excelsis!

Silver Bells

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’ll hear

Silver bells, silver bells

It’s Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring

Soon it will be Christmas day

Strings of streetlights, even stoplights

Blink a 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 scene

And above all this bustle you’ll hear

Silver bells, silver bells

It’s Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring

Soon it will be Christmas day

Ring those Christmas Bells

Some folks like to hear a Christmas song

But I like Christmas bells that go ding dong

Jingle-jangle, ding-a-ling or just bing-bong

I love to hear ’em ring

Oh, ring those Christmas bells

Ring those Christmas bells

While they chime, we’ll have a happy time

So ring those Christmas bells

Up above the stars are clear and bright

While all around the snow is soft and white

Santa and his reindeer soon will be in sight

And you will hear him sing

Oh, ring those Christmas bells

Ring those Christmas bells

While they chime, we’ll have a happy time

So ring those Christmas bells

Jingle Bell Rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring

Snowin’ and blowin’ up bushels of fun

Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells 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 is a swell time

To go glidin’ in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet

Jingle around the clock

Mix and mingle in the jinglin’ beat

That’s the jingle bell rock

Repeat entire song

Hark! How the bells, sweet silver bells

All seem to say, “Throw cares away”

Christmas is here, bringing good cheer

To young and old, meek and the bold

Gaily they ring, while people sing

Songs of good cheer

Ding, dong, ding, dong, that is their song

With joyful ring, all caroling

One seems to hear, words of good cheer

From everywhere, filling the air

Gaily they ring, while people sing

Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

Oh, how they pound, raising the sound

O’er hill and dale, telling their tale

On-on they send, on without end

Their joyful tone to every home

Gaily they ring, while people sing

Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

(short instrumental)

Hark! How the bells, sweet silver bells

All seem to say, “Throw cares away”

Christmas is here, bringing good cheer

To young and old, meek and the bold

Gaily they ring, while people sing

Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

Ding, dong, ding, dong, that is their song

With joyful ring, all caroling

One seems to hear, words of good cheer

From everywhere, filling the air

Gaily they ring, while people sing

Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

On-on they send, on without end

Their joyful tone to every home

Fairytale of New York

It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the drunk tank

An old man said to me, “Won’t see another one”

And then he sang a song, ‘The Rare Old Mountain Dew’

I turned my face away and dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one, came in eighteen-to-one

I’ve got a feeling this year’s for me and you

So, Happy Christmas, I love you, baby

I can see a better time when all our dreams come true

They’ve got cars big as bars, they’ve got rivers of gold

But the wind goes right through you, it’s no place for the old

When you first took my hand on a cold Christmas Eve

You promised me Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome, you were pretty, queen of New York City

When the band finished playing, they howled out for more

Sinatra was swinging, all the drunks, they were singing

We kissed on a corner, then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir were singing, “Galway Bay”

And the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day

You’re a bum, you’re a punk, you’re an old slut on junk

Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed

You scumbag, you maggot, you cheap, lousy faggot

Happy Christmas, your arse, I pray God it’s our last

The boys of the NYPD choir, still singing, “Galway Bay”

And the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day

I could have been someone

Well, so could anyone

You took my dreams from me when I first found you

I kept them with me, babe, I put them with my own

Can’t make it all alone, I’ve built my dreams around you

The boys of the NYPD choir, still singing, “Galway Bay”

And the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day

Longfellow’s Carol

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

Their old familiar carols play,

And wild and sweet the words repeat

Of peace on earth, good will to men.

I thought how, as the day had come,

The belfries of all Christendom

Had rolled along the unbroken song

Of peace on earth, good will to men.

Till, ringing singing, on its way,

The world revolved from night to day,

A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,

Of peace on earth, good will to men!

I wish it could be Christmas every day

When the snowman brings the snow

Well, he just might like to know

He’s put a great big smile on somebody’s face

If you jump into your bed

Quickly cover up your head

Don’t you lock the doors

You know that sweet Santa Claus is on the way

Well, I wish it could be Christmas everyday

When the kids start singing and the band begins to play

Oh, I wish it could be Christmas everyday

Let the bells ring out for Christmas

When we’re skating in the park

If the storm cloud paints it dark

Then your rosy cheeks going to light my merry way

Now the frosticles appear

And they’ve frozen up my beard

So we’ll lie by the fire ’til the sleep simply melts them all away

Well, I wish it could be Christmas everyday

When the kids start singing and the band begins to play

Oh, I wish it could be Christmas everyday

Let the bells ring out for Christmas

Why don’t you give your love for Christmas?

Caroling, caroling, now we go

Christmas bells are ringing

Caroling, caroling thru the snow

Christmas bells are ringing

Joyous voices sweet and clear

Sing the sad of heart to cheer

Ding dong, ding dong

Christmas bells are ringing

Caroling, caroling thru the town

Christmas bells are ringing

Caroling, caroling up and down

Christmas bells are ringing

Mark ye well the song we sing

Gladsome tidings now we bring

Ding dong, ding dong

Christmas bells are ringing!

Caroling, caroling, near and far

Christmas bells are ringing

Following, following yonder star

Christmas bells are ringing

Sing we all this happy morn

“Lo, the King of heav’n is born!”

Ding dong, ding dong

Christmas bells are ringing

Sleigh Ride

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring, ting, tingling, too

Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling, “Yoo hoo”

Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap, let’s go, let’s look at the show

We’re riding in a wonderland of snow

Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap, it’s grand, just holding your hand

We’re gliding along with a song of a wintery fairyland

Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy, cozy are we

We’re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be

Let’s take that road before us and sing a chorus or two

Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

There’s a birthday party

At the home of Farmer Gray

It’ll be the perfect ending to a perfect day

We’ll be singing the songs

We love to sing without a single stop,

At the fireplace while we watch

The chestnuts pop. Pop! pop! pop!

There’s a happy feeling

Nothing in the world can buy,

When they pass around the chocolate

And the pumpkin pie

It’ll nearly be like a picture print

By Currier and Ives

These wonderful things are the things

We remember all through our lives!

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring, ting, tingling, too

Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling, “Yoo hoo”

Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap, let’s go, let’s look at the show

We’re riding in a wonderland of snow

Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap, it’s grand, just holding your hand

We’re gliding along with a song of a wintery fairyland

Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy, and cozy are we

We’re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be

Let’s take that road before us and sing a chorus or two

Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow
