MARSHMALLOW WORLD
(Carl Sigman - Peter DeRose)
« © '64 Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP »
It's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's time for play it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year around
Those marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the ever-green-trees
And the sun is red like a pumpkin had
It's shining so your nose won't freeze
Oh the world is your snowball see how it grows
That's how it goes whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get up and roll it along
Oh it's a yum yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date what a spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world
(It's a marshmallow world in the winter)
When the snow comes to cover the ground)
It's time for play it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year around
(Those marshmallow clouds being friendly)
In the arms of the ever-green-trees)
And the sun is red like a pumpkin had
It's shining so your nose won't freeze
Oh the world is your snowball see how it grows..
It's a yum yummy world in the winter...

WHITE CHRISTMAS
(Irving Berlin)
« © '42 Irving Berlin Music, ASCAP »
(May your days be merry and bright)
And may all your Christmases 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 Christmases be white
(I'm dreaming of a white Christmas)
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

WINTER WONDERLAND
(Felix Bernard - Dick Smith)
« © '46 WB Music, ASCAP »
Sleigh bells ring are you listening in the lane snow is glistening
A beautiful sight we're happy tonight walking in the winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird yeah here to stay is a newbird
He sings a love song as we goes alone walking in the winter wonderland
Yeah in the meadow we can build a snowman and pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say are you merry we'll say no man oh but you can do the job here in town
Later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire
To face on the frame the plans that we made walking in the winter wonderland
(On the meadow we can build a snowman and pretend that he is Parson Brown)
He'll say are you merry we'll say no man oh but you can do the job here in town
Yeah later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire...
Oh walking in the winter wonderland
You hear me talkin'
Walking in the winter wonderland

LET IT SNOW LET IT SNOW LET IT SNOW
(Sammy Cahn - Jule Styne)
« © '45 Cahn Music, ASCAP / Producers Music, ASCAP »
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
And it doesn't show signs of stopping and I brought 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 really hold me tight all the way home I'll be warm
Yeah the fire's 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
(When we finally kiss goodnight) how I'll hate going out in the storm
(But if you really hold me tight) all the way home I'll be warm
Yeah the fire's slowly dying and my dear we're still goodbying...

JINGLE BELLS
(James Pierpont)
« © '53 Embassy Music, BMI »
Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go laughing all the way
Bells on bobtail ring making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight
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
[ strings ]
Now the ground is white so go it while you're young
Take the girls tonight and sing this sleighing song
Just bet a bob tailed bay two forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack you'll take the lead
Oh jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way...

THINGS WE DID LAST SUMMER
(Sammy Cahn - Jule Styne)
« © '59 Cahn Music, ASCAP / Producers Music, ASCAP »
The boat rides we would take the moonlight on the lake
The way we danced and hummed our favorite songs
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long
The Midway and the fun the Cupie dolls we won
The bell I rung to prove that I was strong
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long
The early morning hike the rented tandem bike
The lunches that we used to pack
We never could explain the sudden summer rain
The looks we got when we got back
The leaves began to fade like promises we made
How could a love that seemed so right go wrong
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long
I'll remember all winter long

BLUE CHRISTMAS
(Bill Hayes - Jay Johnson)
« © '48 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
They won't mean a thing dear if you're not here with me
I'll have a blue Christmas that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doing all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue blue Christmas
(I'll have a blue Christmas that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin')
You'll be doing all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue blue Christmas

SILENT NIGHT
(Franz Gruber - Joseph Mohr)

(Sleep in heavenly peace sleep in heavenly peace)
Silent night holy night all is calm all is bright
Round young virgin mother and child holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace sleep in heavenly peace
[ strings ]
(Silent night holy night shepherds quake at the sight)
Glories stream from heaven above heavely hosts sing alleluia
Christ the Saviour is born Christ the Saviour is born

I'll be home for Christmas you can plan on me

SILVER BELLS
(Jay Livingston - Ray Evans)
« © '51 Paramount Music, ASCAP »
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 it's Christmas time in the city
Ring a ling hear them ring soon it'll be Christmas Day
(Strings of street lights even stop lights blink a bright red and green)
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
(Hear the snow crush see the kids bunch this is Santa's big scene)
And above all this bustle you hear
Silver bells silver bells it's Christmas time in the city...
(Silver bells silver bells silver silver bells)
