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.

Rejoice Rejoice

Lyrics

Holy child of Mary mild
Lay in a manger no room in the inn
Shepherds watched their flocks by night
An angel appeared in a blaze of great light
Be not afraid I bring news of great joy
A Saviour is born on this day.
Rejoice, rejoice with exceeding joy
Rejoice on this Christmas Day.

Wise men came from eastern lands
Followed the star to the stable there-in
Knelt they down before the Child
Opened their treasures and offered to him
Gold and then frankincense, myrrh in their hands
Mary looked up and she smiled
Rejoice, rejoice with exceeding joy
Rejoice on this Christmas Day.

Rejoice, rejoice with exceeding joy
Rejoice on this Christmas Day.

Chock-a-Block (The Inn Keeper’s Song)

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.

Star Shines Bright

Lyrics

Star shines bright this Christmas night
The birds their watch are keeping
Moon hangs low on yonder hill
Children all are sleeping.

Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Dreaming of the dawning
When sparrows flit and magpies sing
Their songs at Christmas morning.

Let us join the wise men three
And shepherds in that stable
And let’s give thanks for all we have
Around the Christmas table.

Star shines bright this Christmas night
The birds their watch are keeping
Moon hangs low on yonder hill
Children all are sleeping
Children all are sleeping.

Christmas Eve is here again
Wrap up your Christmas gifts and then

Christmas Eve and time for bed

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

Must get some sleep before the sun
Rises again, rises again
Before the sun rises again (echo)

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

Fear Not For I

Lyrics

The night is so cold
The sheep are afraid
Gabriel what have you done?
We’re sitting here alone
Like fools on a hill
Thinking Gabriel what did you say?

CHORUS
She said “Fear not for I bring tidings of joy
In the city of David Christ is born
Come through the stable door to a manger of straw
Where the Prince of Peace has been born”.

Never have I
Seen an angel before
In a blaze of light shining in the night.
And did the angel say
A boy has been born
In a stable and he’s lying in the hay?

CHORUS

This is the day
We thought would never come
When a Saviour came into the world
So lift up your voice
To heaven and sing
A joyful song for the new baby king.

Stuck In A Pizza

Mr Clicketty Cane got stuck in a pizza
Mozarella cheese on his belly – o
He twisted and he shouted, shook himself about –ed
His wife was I dismay, but all that he could say was

Chorus
Take a step
Clap your hands
Turn your head to the left
To the right
Bring those feet back together

Little Jeffrey Hill was cooking in the kitchen
Eggs on his legs and on the floor – 0
His mother came to see it she said “I don’t believe it”
Then Jeffrey dropped the mixing bowl which landed on the cat

Chorus

Edward J Fox was waiting at the airport
Had to catch a plane to San Francisco
While standing in the toilet he came across the pilot
Who looked a trifle grim when Edward said to him

Cast Away

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

Cast away your bitterness and pain
To love is greater by far than to scorn
Just like blind man given sight
You will be blinded by the light
Cast away your bitterness and pain.

Cast away your loneliness and fear
To love is greater by far don’t turn away
Just like the sky when crying rain
You will release and then regain
Cast away your loneliness and fear.

Cast away your longing for revenge
To love is greater by far than to win
Just like a blind man given sight
You will be blinded by the light
Cast away your longing for revenge.

And may the joy of the children make you strong
And may the light of the stars guide your way
There is no need to turn away
‘Cause from the night will come the day
Cast away and let the sunlight in.

Look After Yourself

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

Now all you kids when you’re crossing the road
You gotta take good care or you’ll be squashed like a toad
And when you go for a walk down the street
Don’t go with a stranger you might meet.

Chorus
Do, do look after yourself
Take good care, care of your health
Do, do look after yourself every day.

And when you go for a swim in a pool
Don’t push don’t run, don’t be a fool
And when its time for something to eat
Fresh fruit and nuts make a nice treat.

Chorus

It’s up to you – every day – and don’t forget

You don’t have to be like anyone else
Just be you, just be yourself
People will like you the way that you are
You don’t have to be a TV star.

Chorus

Hadrian's Wall

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

Cat’s in the garden every morning
Scratch up Dad’s flower beds
I said to myself I’d better stop playing and
Go build a wall instead.

Chorus
Hadrian, Hadrian build it build it
Keep those cats from coming in
Hadrian Hadrian build it build it
They’re jumping and they’re tipping up the rubbish bin
You gotta build that wall.

I’ve noticed that Dad’s blood pressure rises
When neighbourhood cats drop in
If I was a cat I’d just take the hint and
No longer invite myself in.

Chorus

So just as the Picts were kept out of England
In 132 AD
There’ll be hundreds of cats kept out of our garden
For the rest of this century.

Chorus

The Pied Piper of Hamelin

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

Now listen I’ll tell you a tale
A story from long time ago
In Hamelin there was a plague
A plague of dirty rats.

They ate all the cheese from the vats
And spoiled the ladies’ chats
By speaking and shrieking and squeaking
In fifty different sharps and flats.

Chorus
Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of rats
Cheeky and sneaky and ravenous rats
Fought with the dogs and they killed the cats
Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of rats.

Then one day a stranger appeared
Dressed in bright yellow and red
Said he “The Pied Piper am I
And I can get rid of those rats”.

Chorus
The piper stepped out in the street
Put his pipe to his lips and he played
He danced all the way across town…..

The people of Hamelin cheered
And rang all the bells in the town
“Go” said the Mayor “and get poles
Poke out the nests and block up the holes”.

So the piper went back to the Mayor
Who’d faithfully promised to pay
One thousand guilders reward
The Mayor said “Fifty is all you will get.”

Chorus

The piper stepped out in the street
And once again started to play
And all over Hamelin town
Came the patter of tiny feet.

They followed the piper up Koppelberg Hill
A door in the mountain swung open until
All of the children were safely inside
Then that door in the mountain swung shut.

And that’s how this sad story ends
Not one of those children returned
The lesson is clear to us all
A promise made is a promise kept.

Chorus

Humpty Dumpty's Other Song

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

Some people I know are very very tall
And some people I know are really rather small
Some people are plump and sit upon the wall
Like old Humpty Dumpty who had that nasty fall.

Chorus
He fell on his tum he broke his thumb
He bumped his head sat up and said
All you King’s horses all you King’s men
Please come and put me together again.

Some people I know will never ever be thin
Except Tom and John and Kim and Ron and Mon and Tim
And some people I know just never seem to win
Like old Humpty Dumpty who landed in the bin.

Chorus

Some people I know like to grizzle and grumble and groan
And some people I know like to mutter and mumble and moan
But there’s a roly poly man who I’ve told you about before
He’s feeling rather sorry for himself and rather sore.

Chorus

Hey Ho Jerry-O

Lyrics

Chorus
Hey ho Jerry-o
What’s the matter with your toe?
Hey ho Jerry-o
What’s the matter with your toe?

I was walking down the footpath
When this big boy on his bike
Came along and didn’t notice that
He squashed my toe.

Chorus

I was walking down the footpath
When this big boy on his skateboard
Came along and didn’t notice that
He squashed my toe.

Chorus

I was walking down the footpath
When this big boy on his roller skates
Came along and didn’t notice that
He squashed my toe.

Hey ho Jerry-o
So that’s the matter with your toe!
Hey ho Jerry-o
I’ll just go and get a bandaid.

Springtime Of Our Dreams

Apple | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

Lyrics

Sing birds sing shine sun shine
Listen to the song and look for the light
Sway treetops sway, blow winds blow
Teach me harmony to the music of the day
Teach me harmony to the music of the day

You can see her in the blossom
And the blue of the sky
You can hear her in the buzzing
As the bees hurry by
In the magpie on the hilltop.
Splash of yellow midst the green
Mother Nature this September
Is the springtime of our dreams.

Tiny sparrow are you happy
Now the cold winds have gone?
Are you happy Jacaranda as you bask in the sun?
Have you woken from your slumber
With a swaying in the breeze?
Celebrations are in order
For the dawning of the spring.

For the coming of the springtime
Let us all be glad
It's more precious than a diamond
Let us all be glad.
For the wonder of the blackbird
And its sweet melody
For the coming of the springtime
The springtime of our dreams.

River River

Lyrics

River flowing down from the mountain
River flowing down from the mountain
River flowing down from the mountain
Flow down to the sea.
Fishes they swim, swim in the river
Fishes they swim, swim in the river
Fishes they swim, swim in the river
Catch one for my tea.

Chorus
River, river, river flowing down from the mountain
River, river, river flowing down to the sea.

Wind blow cold at the top of the mountain
Wind blow cold at the top of the mountain
Wind blow cold at the top of the mountain
Cold as the wind can be.
Sky is black and the rain is a falling
Sky is black and the rain is a falling
Sky is black and the rain is a falling
Pitter patter down on me.
Chorus

Sun come up and shine on the river
Sun come up and shine on the river
Sun come up and shine on the river
Such a pretty sight to see.
Then the sun goes down its dark on the mountain
Sun goes down its dark on the mountain
Sun goes down its dark on the mountain
Black as the night can be.

Chorus
