LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW!

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 brought some corn for popping,

The lights are turned way down low, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! CHORUS:

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 I’ll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying, and my dear, we’re still goodbye-ing

But as long as you love me so, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! CHORUS (When we finally..)

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 ev’ry street corner you hear:

Silver bells, silver bells, it’s Christmas time in the city.

Ringaling, hear them ring, soon it will 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 crunch, 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.

Ringaling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas day.

[C] With glowing hearts by His [G7] cradle we [C] stand

[C] So led by light of a [F] star sweetly [C] gleam[C7]ing

Here come the [Em] wise men from [B7] Orient [Em] land

The [G7] King of Kings lay [C] thus in lowly manger

ROCKIN’ AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE

Rockin’ around the Christmas tree at the Christmas party hop

Mistletoe hung where you can see every couple tries to stop.

Rockin’ around the Christmas tree, let the Christmas spirit ring.

Later we’ll have some punkin pie and we’ll do some caroling.

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear

Voices singing “Let’s be jolly, deck the halls with boughs of holly.”

Rockin’ around the Christmas tree have a happy holiday

Everyone dancing merrily in the new…. old…. fashioned way. 1234 1234 1234567

WHITE CHRISTMAS 4/4 1…2…1234

I’m dreaming of a White Christmas just like the ones I used to know,

Where the treetops glisten, and children listen to hear sleighbells 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.

May your days be merry and bright, and may all your Christmases be white.

FROSTY THE SNOWMAN

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul

With a corn cob 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.

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.

Thumpity-thump-thump, thumpity-thump-thump, look at Frosty go

Thumpity-thump-thump, thumpity-thump-thump, over the fields of snow.
