The Wind Is For Blowing

Sheet Music | Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

The wind is for blowing, flowers are for growing
The sky is for raining but don't you go complaining

Eyes are for closing, noses are for nosing
Eyebrows for raising when something is AMAZING!

Heads are for turning, books are for learning
Words are for rhyming, stairs are for climbing

Bells are for ringing, carols are for singing
Pudding is for eating and friends are for greeting on
Christmas Day

Lyrics

Father Christmas
Lost his whiskers
Spoke with Dave
Who said to
Have a shave
And so he did
O yes he did
Shave off his whiskers
Father Christmas
I wish that Dave
Had had a shave
Instead!

Wake Up Sleepyhead

Sheet Music | Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

CHORUS
Wake up sleepyhead wake up
Jump up and shout, “Hooray!”
Rise and then shine, everything’s fine
Be happy on this Christmas Day

With the coming of the sun in December
There’s watermelon, grapes and lemonade
And carols by night are a special delight
And Rudolf the Reindeer with the shiny red nose

CHORUS

There’s cricket on the telly all day (and night)
It’s the perfect way to waste time
Short men and tall, hitting bat upon ball
And running around in their yellow pyjamas now

CHORUS

Have you finished your last minute shopping?
Do you have all the presents you need?
One for your sister I hope you haven’t missed her
And don’t forget to buy something nice for the cat

CHORUS (repeated)

ENDING
Be happy on this Christmas Day
Be happy on this Christmas Day

A Very Silly Christmas Song

Sheet Music | Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

I can sing up I can sing down
Gradually ascend then, do it once again then
Do it very loud then do it very quietly
I would not want to scare you, it would be unfair to
Sing this song at Christmas time and scare you out of your wits

When he’s looking sad sing it to your Dad
And maybe to your brother then try it on your mother
It’s such a lovely thing that people like to sing
I stand around the piano with my good friend Ritchie Benaud
And even the Prime Minister occasionally drops in

I like to sing like this (like this) I like to sing like this (like this)
Do it with fortissimo then with pianissimo
You can have the choice so select a silly voice

(Silly voices)

Give yourself some headroom practice in the bedroom
And sing this song while standing on your head in the shed

Sing a silly song sing a silly song
Sing a silly song sing a silly song
Sing a silly sing a silly sing a silly (pause) - if you
Sing a silly Christmas song you can’t go wrong

(Silly voices)

Cos when I’m with you I feel okay

Christmas Day Has Come Again

Sheet Music | Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

CHORUS
Christmas Day has come again
Come again come again
Christmas Day has come again
Hip Hip Hooray it’s Christmas day

When I was only seven years old
I’d go to bed on Christmas Eve
And twiddle my toes in the middle of the night
The crackle of the presents all wrapped up tight
And when the sun came up I was ready to go

CHORUS

I loved to wake up my Mum and Dad
They never got cross they never got mad
We’d carry the presents to the Christmas Tree
Hoping and hoping that the presents would be
The ones that we’d nagged our Mum and Dad for

CHORUS

ENDING
Hip Hip Hooray it’s Christmas day
Hip Hip Hooray it’s Christmas day
Hip Hip Hooray (pause) Happy Christmas everyone… (spoken)
It’s Christmas day

Lyrics

CHORUS
Sun comes up wake up it’s Christmas
Don’t sleep in get out of bed
Magpies sing wake up it’s Christmas
Welcome in the Christmas Day

Come with me, and you will see
There are so many gifts, on the Christmas tree
There’s one for you, and one for me
Another for Jack and one for Jamie-Lee

Over the hill, the moon hangs still
The earth is asleep, waiting until
The stars begin to fade, with the coming of the dawn
Kookaburras sing, at the break of the morn

Sing it loud and clear, you can’t go wrong
Now is the time, to spread good cheer
On Christmas Day, and all through the year

A Brussel Sprout

Lyrics

There is no doubt that a brussel sprout
Has no muscle but plenty of brussel
And lots of vitamin C, very good for me
But it's just so sad they taste really bad
So when served with turkey I'm amazed when people say
It's the perfect dish on Christmas Day

Down the chimney climbing nimbly
Now his face is rather prickly
Hope those whiskers grow back quickly

To You Merry Christmas

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon | Sheet Music

Lyrics

CHORUS
To you Merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas
Ring out the bells it’s Christmas time
To you Merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas
Wish you a Merry Christmas time.

I remember it well when I was just a little boy
Early November come rain or shine
We’d rise up early for the Christmas Parade
We wanted to be at the front of the line.

CHORUS

I’d wave to Goldilocks, the Three Little Pigs, and the
Big Bad Wolf as they passed me by
But the loudest cheer was for old Father Christmas
Always last at the end of the line.

CHORUS

There were Scottish Pipers, there were marching bands
And there were banjo players picking out a song
Thousands of children with smiles on their faces
From babies to grandmas they all came along.

CHORUS (x2)

Christmas is coming
The goose is getting fat
Please put a penny in, a penny in
The old man’s hat
Haven’t got a penny
A ha’penny will do
If you haven’t got a ha’penny
A penny or a ha’penny
Then God bless you.

Chock-a-Block (The Inn Keeper’s Song)

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon | Sheet Music

Lyrics

Nup, nup, no room in the inn – sorry
Nup, can’t be done, no room in the inn
Absolutely impossible.

We’re chock -a- block as a matter of fact
Every room full you couldn’t swing a cat.
Sorry about this situation
But there’s nothing that I can do
When you’re full, you’re full
And we’re full – sorry!
Chock -a -block, chock -a -block
Chock -a -block as a matter of fact.

He’s sorry about the situation
But there’s nothing that he can do
When you’re full, you’re full
And they’re full – sorry
Chock -a -block, chock -a -block
Chock -a -block as a matter of fact.

Christmas Eve

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon | Sheet Music

Lyrics

Christmas Eve is here again
Wrap up your Christmas gifts and then
Tomorrow’s the day, ‘morrow’s the day
Tomorrow is Christmas Day.

Christmas Eve and time for bed
Don’t want to be a sleepy head
I really should go, really should go
I really should go to bed (echo)

INTERLUDE

I wake up very early in the morning (morning)
When everyone is still asleep and snoring (snoring)
I tip-toe back to bed, you know what they have said
“Don’t wake us up too early in the morning (morning)”.

Christmas Eve it’s half past one
Must get some sleep before the sun
Rises again, rises again
Before the sun rises again (echo)

INTERLUDE

Christmas Eve is here again
Wrap up your Christmas gifts and then
Tomorrow’s the day, ‘morrow’s the day
Tomorrow is Christmas Day.

Australia Hooray

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

39 in the shade
Take a glass lemonade
Fill it up icy cold
Thirsty weather so down she goes

Down the beach after school
Cross the road swimming pool
41 in the sun
Christmas holidays just begun

CHORUS
Australia in the summertime
Australia where the weather’s fine
Australia of the yellow fields and
Bluest of skies

Christmas Day on the beach
Lots of noise lots to eat
Happy cries all around
Red bikinis and golden sands

CHORUS

From the north to the south
From the east to the west
From Bunbury to Bundaberg
From Botany Bay to the Coral Sea
From the Southern Ocean
You can hear them sing

La la la la la…

CHORUS – Hooray!
