“We Need a Little Christmas” Ringing through the rafter,

Jerry Herman
And we need a little snappy
"Happy ever after,"
Haul out the holly;
Need a little Christmas now.
Put up the tree before my spirit falls again.
For we need a little Christmas
Fill up the stocking,
Right this very minute,
I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now.
Candles in the window,
For we need a little Christmas
Carols at the spinet.
Right this very minute,
Yes, we need a little Christmas
Candles in the window,
Right this very minute.
Carols at the spinet.
Need a little Christmas now.
Yes, we need a little Christmas
Yes we need a little music,
Right this very minute.
Need a little laughter,
It hasn't snowed a single flurry,
Need a little singing,
But, Santa, dear, we’re in a hurry,
Ringing through the rafter,
So climb down the chimney;
And we need a little snappy,
Put up the brightest string of lights I've ever seen.
Happy ever after,
Slice up the fruitcake;
Need a little Christmas now.
It's time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough.
For I've grown a little leaner,
Note:
Grown a little colder,
“Carols at the spinet” has been changed to:
Grown a little sadder,
“Candles and the spirit” in this version
Grown a little older,
And I need a little angel
Sitting on my shoulder,
Need a little Christmas now.
(Instrumental)
For we need a little music,
Need a little laughter,
Need a little singing

Frosty the Snowman Down to the village
Walter “Jack” Rollins and Steve Nelson With a broomstick in his hand
(Introduction – 8 measures) Running here and there all around the square
Frosty the Snowman Saying catch me if you can.
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose He led them down the streets of town
And his eyes made out of coal. Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when
Frosty the Snowman He heard him holler stop.
Is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow but the children know For Frosty the Snowman
How he came to life one day. Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye
There must have been some magic Saying don't you cry.
In that old silk hat they found I'll be back again some day
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around. Thumpety, thump, thump
Thumpety, thump.
Oh, Frosty the Snowman Look at Frosty go
Was alive as he could be Thumpety, thump, thump
And the children say Thumpety, thump.
He could laugh and play Over the hills of snow.
Just the same as you and me.

Frosty the Snowman


Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said let's run
And we'll have fun.
Now before I melt away.

Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree
Johnny Marks and Lee “Scratch” Perry
Perfomed by Peggy Lee

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 pumpkin 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 dancin' merrily
In the new old-fashioned way
(Saxophone solo)

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 dancin' merrily
In the new.. old…fa…shioned way…
