Lynne Hand	Stop the Cavalry by Jona Lewis	#2	[url]	[-]
Super Member Posts: 38321 14/12/08 9:25 PM Your Teacher	Hey, Mr. Churchill comes over here To say we're doing splendidly. But it's very cold out here in the snow Marching to and from the enemy. Oh I say it's tough, I have had enough, Can you stop the cavalry? I have had to fight almost every night, Down throughout these centuries. That is when I say, oh yes yet again, Can you stop the cavalry? Mary Bradley waits at home, In the nuclear fallout zone. Wish I could be dancing now, In the arms of the girl I love. Dub-i-dub-i-dum-dum Dub-i-dub-i-dum Dub-i-dum-dum-dub-i-dum Dub-i-dub-i-dum Dub-i-dub-i-dum-dum Dub-i-dub-i-dum Dub-i-dum-dum-dub-i-dum Dub-i-dub-i-dum Wish I was at home for Christmas. Bang goes another bomb on another town While the Czar and Jim have tea. If I get home, live to tell the tale, I'll run for all presidencies. If I get elected I'll stop I will stop the cavalry. Dub-i-dub-i-dum-dum Dub-i-dub-i-dum Dub-i-dum-dum-dub-i-dum Dub-i-dub-i-dum Dub-i-dub-i-dum-dum Dub-i-dub-i-dum Dub-i-dum-dum-dub-i-dum Dub-i-dub-i-dum Wish I was at home for Christmas. Wish I could be dancing now, In the arms of the girl I love. Mary Bradley waits at home, She's been waiting two years long. Wish I was at home for Christmas.

Lynne Hand	I saw three ships - Traditional	#3	[url]	[-]
Super Member Posts: 38321 14/12/08 9:26 PM Your Teacher	I saw three ships come sailing in On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; I saw three ships come sailing in On Christmas Day in the morning. And what was in those ships all three, On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day? And what was in those ships all three, On Christmas Day in the morning? The Virgin Mary and Christ were there, On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; The Virgin Mary and Christ were there, On Christmas Day in the morning. Pray, wither sailed those ships all three, On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; Pray, wither sailed those ships all three, On Christmas Day in the morning? O they sailed into Bethlehem, On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; O they sailed into Bethlehem, On Christmas Day in the morning. And all the bells on earth shall ring, On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; And all the bells on earth shall ring, On Christmas Day in the morning. And all the Angels in Heaven shall sing, On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; And all the Angels in Heaven shall sing, On Christmas Day in the morning. And all the souls on earth shall sing, On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; And all the souls on earth shall sing, On Christmas Day in the morning. Then let us all rejoice again, On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; Then let us all rejoice again, On Christmas Day in the morning

Lynne Hand	A spaceman came travelling by Chris de Burgh	#4	[url]	[-]
Super Member Posts: 38321 14/12/08 9:28 PM Your Teacher	A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar, 'Twas light years of time since his mission did start, And over a village he halted his craft, And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star... He followed a light and came down to a shed, Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed, A bright light of silver shone round his head, And he had the face of an angle, and they were afraid... Then the stranger spoke, he said "Do not fear, I come from a planet a long way from here, And I bring a message for mankind to hear," And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air... And it went La La... Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for the child... This lovely music went trembling through the ground, And many were wakened on hearing that sound, And travellers on the road, the village they found, By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all round... And just before dawn at the paling of the sky, The stranger returned and said "Now I must fly, When two thousand years of your time has gone by, This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry..." And it went La La ... This song will begin once again To a baby's cry... And it goes La La... Peace and goodwill to all men, and Love for the child... Oh the whole world is waiting, waiting to hear the song again, There are thousands standing on the edge of the world, And a star is moving somewhere, the time is nearly here, This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry...

Lynne Hand	I Believe In Father Christmas - Greg Lake	#5	[url]	[-]
Super Member Posts: 38321 14/12/08 9:30 PM Your Teacher	They said there'll be snow at Christmas. They said there'll be peace on Earth. But instead it just kept on raining, A veil of tears for the Virgin's birth. I remember one Christmas morning, A winters light and a distant choir, And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell And their eyes full of tinsel and fire. They sold me a dream of Christmas. They sold me a Silent Night. And they told me a fairy story, 'Till I believed in the Israelite. And I believed in Father Christmas And I looked at the sky with excited eyes. 'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn, And I saw him and through his disguise. I wish you a hopeful Christmas, I wish you a brave New Year. All anguish pain and sadness, Leave your heart and let your road be clear. They said there'll be snow at Christmas. They said there'll be peace on Earth. Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell, The Christmas you get you deserve. La la la la la la la la la la....

Lynne Hand	When a child is born by Boney M	#6	[url]	[-]
Super Member Posts: 38321 14/12/08 9:33 PM Your Teacher	Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm A ray of hope flitters in the sky. A tiny star lights up way up high. All across the land dawns a brand new morn, This comes to pass when a child is born. A silent wish sails the seven seas. The winds have changed whisperin' the trees. And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn, This comes to pass when a child is born. A rosy fume settles all around. You've got the feel you're on solid ground. For a spell or two no one seems forlorn, This comes to pass when a child is born. (Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) And all of this happens Because the world is waiting. (Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) Waiting for one child Black, white, yellow, no one knows. (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) But a child that would grow up and turn tears to laughter (Ah-ah-ah-ah) Hate to love, war to peace (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah) And everyone to everyone's neighbour Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever. It's all a dream and illusion now. It must come true, sometime soon, somehow. All across the land dawns a brand new morn, This comes to pass when a child is born.

Moderator Super Member Posts: 10483 15/12/08 5:46 PM Moderator	Hi Lynne, Thanks for the good idea to post those Christmas songs. One of my personally favourite song is " Rudolph with the red nose" oh I love it especially men sing it with deep voice. As you know I am rather a poor computer specialist who even can`t find that song on the internet. But if you want I`d sing it for you all with maybe a good wage, it were a thought worth, though?

Lynne Hand	Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer	#8	[url]	[-]
Super Member Posts: 38321 15/12/08 6:31 PM Your Teacher	He he. You should have joined us on Friday on iVisit. Then you could have sung it to us all:- You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donder and Blitzen., But do you recall? The most famous reindeer of all? Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Had a very shiny nose, And if you ever saw it, You would even say it glows. All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names; They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games. Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say, Rudolph with your nose so bright, Won't you guide my sleigh tonight? Then how the reindeer loved him As they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, You'll go down in history. (musical interlude) Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Had a very shiny nose, And if you ever saw it, You would even say it glows. All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names; They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games.

Lynne Hand	Let it Snow by Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne	#9	[url]	[-]
Super Member Posts: 38321 15/12/08 6:32 PM Your Teacher	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 Pauseping, And I've bought some corn for popping, The lights are turned way down low, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! 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 good-bying, But as long as you love me so, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Last Edited By: Lynne Hand 01/12/11 12:25 PM. Edited 1 time.

Lynne Hand	Chestnuts roasting on an open fire by Nat King Cole	#10	[url]	[-]
Super Member Posts: 38321 15/12/08 6:35 PM Your Teacher	Remove this ad Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping on your nose, Yuletide carols being sung by a choir, And folks dressed up like Eskimos. Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe, Help to make the season bright. Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow, Will find it hard to sleep tonight. They know that Santa's on his way; He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh. And every mother's child is going to spy, To see if reindeer really know how to fly. And so I'm offering this simple phrase, To kids from one to ninety-two, Although its been said many times, many ways, A very Merry Christmas to you

Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la, la la la, la la la. Troll the ancient Yule tide carol, Fa la la la la, la la la la. See the blazing Yule before us, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Strike the harp and join the chorus. Fa la la la la, la la la la. Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la, la la la la. While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Hail the new year lads and lasses, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Sing we joyous, all together, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la, la la la la. ------------------------- And I'm sorry about this, but I cannot resist:-

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. 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.

Little Drummer Boy Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum, When we come.

Silent night holy night All is calm, all is bright Round yon virgin mother and child. Holy infant so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace. Sleep in heavenly peace. Silent night holy night Shepherds quake at the sight, Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavenly hosts sing alleluia; Christ the Savior, is born Christ the Savior, is born. Silent night holy night Son of God, love's pure light Radiant beams from thy holy face, With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord, at thy birth. Jesus, Lord, at thy birth. Take a look at youtube.com - there you can find thousands of versions from nearly every artist.
