SONG BOOK 2019 - 2020

The Star-Spangled Banner

Bring on the Snow Ugly Christmas Sweater

Goin on a Sleighride Feliz Navidad

Kwanzaa Hanukkah Lights You’re Welcome How Far I’ll Go Zero to Hero

I Will Go the Distance

THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER

O say can you see,

By the dawns early light,

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,

Whose broad stripes and bright stars,

Through the perilous fight,

O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming,

And the rocket’s red glare,

The bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,

O say does that start spangled banner yet wave,

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Bring on the Snow I looked out the window and what did I see,

Dark, gray clouds in the sky,

The temperature’s falling, it’s cold outside,

We’re a long, long way from July,

It’s easy to see there’s a change in the air,

The wind is starting to blow,

And the chance of a storm is one hundred percent,

So come on, bring on the snow,

I hope there’s a blizzard and we get a lot,

That’s what I’m wishing for,

I’m anticipating, I’m not exaggerating,

A foot or maybe two or more,

The weather report said it’s coming my way,

There’s one thing that I know,

We’ll have no school tomorrow or maybe for a week,

So come on, bring on the snow,

PART I PART II

Snow, snow, snow, snow, I looked out the window and what did I see,

snow, snow, more snow, Dark, gray clouds in the sky,

It’s easy to see there’s a change in the air, Snow, snow, snow, snow,

The wind is starting to blow, snow, snow, more snow,

And the chance of a storm is one hundred And the chance of a storm is one hundred

percent, percent,

So come on, bring on the snow, So come on, bring on the snow,

So, come on bring on, please, please bring on,

Come on and bring on the snow!

WHEN WE’RE TOGETHER

Sure, it's nice to open a gift That's tied up with a perfect bow But the greatest present of all Was given to me long ago It's something I would never trade It's the family that we've made

'Cause when we're together I have everything on my list And when we're together I have all I wished All around the Christmas tree There'll be dreams coming true But when we're together Then my favorite gift is you

I would travel miles and miles And I would follow any star I'd go almost any place If it's any place you are

'Cause when we're together When we're together I'll forever feel at home And when we're together When we're together We'll be safe and warm Doesn't matter where we are If you're there with me

'Cause when we're together That's my favorite place To be 'Cause when we're together It's a holiday every night And when we're together Then the season's bright

I don't need the bells to ring I don't need the bells I'll know when it's here I'll know when it's here

'Cause when we're together I could stay forever And when we're together It's my favorite time of year

Ugly Christmas Sweater VERSE 1

I got an invite to a party, it’s a holiday bash,

But it’s not the kind of mail you wanna toss in the trash,

‘Cause when I took a second look oh what did I see,

This invitation was unique as can be,

It said bring your friends, the more the better,

But in order to get in you’ll need an ugly Christmas sweater,

Ugly sweater, ugly Christmas sweater,


CHORUS

Gotta bright red vest, but that won’t pass the test,

No, no, no, that won’t do,


Got fancy clothes galore in red and green velour,

But that won’t do,


I’ve got a Santa suit, now wouldn’t that look cute,



I need an ugly Christmas sweater, the uglier the better,

Nothing else is gonna do,

VERSE 2

Well I was runnin out of options, runnin out of time,

There was nothin I could do, I had to go online,

And so I turned on the computer and before my eyes,

There were ugly Christmas sweaters, every style and size,

So I picked one out, as ugly as can be,

And then I put it in the shopping cart, the shipping was free!



REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3

My sweater, it arrived special delivery,

When I tried the sweater on it fit me to a tee,

And so I went off to the party and I had a ball,

I saw ugly Christmas sweaters there from wall to wall,

One’s with bells, bows, baubles, in purple, red and green,

And ones with gold and silver tinsel like you’re never seen,



VERSE 4

So now the party’s over and what can I do,

With an ugly Christmas sweater that’s as good as new,

Well I’ll just put it in a box and wrap it with a bow,

Then I’ll gift it to some unsuspecting friend I know,

And on Christmas day, they’ll be happy as can be,

To get an ugly Christmas sweater for ME, and ME, and ME!



REPEAT CHORUS

Who knows, on Christmas Day, you may even get one too,

Christmas sweater, the uglier the better!

We’re Goin’ on a Sleigh Ride

PART 1

Come on, we’re goin’ on a sleigh ride!

Out in the woods and through the snow,

Bring your coat and woolen mittens ‘cause the horses tails are twitchin and they don’t need us

to tell them that it’s time to go!

Come on, we’re going’ on a sleigh ride,

Out where the air is crisp and clear,

We’ll be laughing, we’ll be singing as the jingle bells are ringing and we’ll all be grinning ear to

ear,

CHORUS

Ha ha ha! Hee hee hee!

Oh what fun for you and me,

Ha ha ha! Hee hee hee!

Going on a sleigh ride.

PART 2

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,

Oh what fun it is to ride on a one horse open sleigh – hey!

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,

Oh what fun it is to ride on a one horse open sleigh,

REPEAT CHORUS

Huh! In Mexico it’s Feliz Navidad,

Knee-deep in snow, it’s Feliz Navidad,

Everywhere I go, it’s Feliz Navidad,

Since long ago, it’s Feliz Navidad,

Feliz Navidad! Feliz Navidad! Feliz Navidad! Merry Christmas to you!

Feliz Navidad! Feliz Navidad! Feliz Navidad! Happy New Year too!

Huh! We celebrate Feliz Navidad,

We decorate Feliz Navidad,

Don’t hesitate, it’s Feliz Navidad,

Let me translate, it’s Feliz Navidad,

Feliz Navidad! Feliz Navidad! Feliz Navidad! Merry Christmas to you!

Feliz Navidad! Feliz Navidad! Feliz Navidad! Happy New Year too!

YOU’RE WELCOME

Ok, ok, I see what's happening here You're face to face with greatness, and it's strange You don't even know how you feel It's adorable! Well, it's nice to see that humans never change

Open your eyes, let's begin Yes, it's really me, it's Maui: breathe it in!

I know it's a lot: the hair, the bod! When you're staring at a demi-god

What can I say except you're welcome For the tides, the sun, the sky Hey, it's okay, it's okay You're welcome I'm just an ordinary demi-guy

Hey! What has two thumbs that pulled up the sky When you were waddling yay high This guy!

When the nights got cold Who stole you fire from down below You're lookin' at him, yo

Oh, also I lassoed the sun You're welcome! To stretch the days and bring you fun

Also I harnessed the breeze You're welcome! To fill your sails and shake your trees

So what can I say except you're welcome For the islands I pulled from the sea There's no need to pray, it's okay You're welcome! Ha, I guess it's just my way of being me You're welcome! You're welcome!

Well, come to think of it Kid, honestly I can go on and on I can explain every natural phenomenon

The tide, the grass, the ground, oh That was Maui just messing around

I killed an eel I buried its guts Sprouted a tree, now you got coconuts What's the lesson? What is the take-away? Don't mess with Maui when he's on the break-away

And the tapestry here on my skin Is a map of the victories I win Look where I've been I make everything happen Look at that mini-Maui just tippity-tappin'

Well, anyway let me say you're welcome For the wonderful world you know Hey, it's okay, it's okay You're welcome! Well, come to think of it, I gotta go

Hey, it's your day to say you're welcome 'Cause I'm gonna need that boat I'm sailing away, away You're welcome! 'Cause Maui can do anything but float

You're welcome! You're welcome! And thank you!

HOW FAR I’LL GO

I've been staring at the edge of the water 'Long as I can remember, never really knowing why I wish I could be the perfect daughter But I come back to the water, no matter how hard I try

Every turn I take, every trail I track Every path I make, every road leads back To the place I know, where I can not go, where I long to be

See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me And no one knows, how far it goes If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me One day I'll know, if I go there's just no telling how far I'll go

I know everybody on this island, seems so happy on this island Everything is by design I know everybody on this island has a role on this island So maybe I can roll with mine

I can lead with pride, I can make us strong I'll be satisfied if I play along But the voice inside sings a different song What is wrong with me?

See the light as it shines on the sea? It's blinding But no one knows, how deep it goes And it seems like it's calling out to me, so come find me And let me know, what's beyond that line, will I cross that line?

The line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me And no one knows, how far it goes If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me One day I'll know, how far I'll go

ZERO TO HERO

Bless my soul Herc was on a roll Person of the week in evry Greek opinion poll What a pro Herc could stop a show Point him at a monster and you're talking SRO He was a no one A zero, zero Now he's a honcho He's a hero Here was a kid with his act down pat From zero to hero in no time flat Zero to hero just like that

When he smiled The girls went wild with oohs and aahs And they slapped his face On ev'ry vase (on ev'ry "vase")

From appearance fees and royalties Our Herc had cash to burn Now nouveau riche and famous He could tell you What the Greecizns earn.

Say amen There he goes again Sweet and undefeated And an awesome 10 for 10 Folks lined up Just to watch him flex And this perfect package packed a pair of pretty pecs

Hercie, he comes He sees, he conquers Honey, the crowds were Going bonkers He showed the moxie brains, and spunk From zero to hero a major hunk Zero to hero and who'da thunk

Who put the glad in gladiator? Hercules!

Whose daring deeds are great theater? Hercules

Is he bold? No one braver Is he sweet Our favorite flavor,

Hercules, Hercules, Hercules, Hercules Hercules, Hercules

Bless my soul Herc was on a roll Undefeated Riding high And the nicest guy not conceited

He was a nothin' A zero, zero Now he's a honcho He's a hero

He hit the heights at breakneck speed From zero to hero Herc is a hero Now he's a hero Yes indeed!

GO THE DISTANCE I have often dreamed of a far off place Where a hero's welcome would be waiting for me Where the crowds would cheer, when they see my face And a voice keeps saying this is where I'm meant to be

I'll be there someday, I can go the distance I will find my way if I can be strong I know every mile would be worth my while When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong

Down an unknown road to embrace my fate Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you And a thousand years would be worth the wait It might take a lifetime but somehow I'll see it through

And I won't look back, I can go the distance And I'll stay on track, no I won't accept defeat It's an uphill slope But I won't loose hope, 'till I go the distance And my journey is complete, oh yeah

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part For a hero's strength is measured by his heart, oh

Like a shooting star, I will go the distance I will search the world, I will face its harms I don't care how far, I can go the distance 'Till I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms

I will search the world, I will face its harms 'Till I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms
