Song Lyrics
Frosty the Snowman (Sheet Music →)
Frosty the Snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal.
Frosty the Snowman
Is a fairytale, they say.
He was made of snow,
But the children know
How he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in
That old silk hat they found.
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around!
Oh, Frosty, the Snowman
Was alive as he could be
And the children say
He could laugh and play
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 some fun
Now, before I melt away!"
Down to the village
With a broomstick in his hand,
Runnin' here and there
All around the square
Sayin', "Catch me if you can!"
He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop.
And he only paused a moment
When he heard him holler, "Stop!"
Frosty the Snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye, sayin' "Don't you cry
I'll be back again some day!"
Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump
Look at Frosty go!
Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump
Over the hills of snow!
The First Noel (Sheet Music →)
The first Noel, the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel,
Noel, Noel!
Born is the king of Israel
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east, beyond them far.
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel,
Noel, Noel!
Born is the king of Israel
And by the light of that same star,
three wise men came from country far.
To seek for a king was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.
Noel, Noel,
Noel, Noel!
Born is the king of Israel
Deck the Hall (Sheet Music →)
Deck the hall with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la la la la la!
‘Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la la la la la!
Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la la la la la la la!
Troll the ancient yuletide 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, ye 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!
Silver Bells (Sheet Music →)
Silver bells, silver bells-
It’s Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring.
Soon it will be Christmas day.
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style,
In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas,
Children laughing, people passing,
Meeting smile after smile,
And on ev’ry street corner you hear:
Silver bells, silver bells-
It’s Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring.
Soon it will be Christmas day.
Strings of street light, even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green,
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures.
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch,
This is Santa’s big scene.
And above all this bustle you hear:
Silver bells, silver bells-
It’s Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring.
Soon it will be Christmas day.
I Have a Little Dreidel (Sheet Music →)
I have a little dreidel.
I made it out of clay.
And when it’s dry and ready,
Then dreidel I will play.
Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
I made it out of clay
And when it’s dry and ready,
Then dreidel I will play.
It has a lovely body
With legs so short and thin
And when it gets all tired
It drops and I will win.
Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
I made it out of clay
And when it’s dry and ready,
Then dreidel I will play.
My dreidel is so playful,
It loves to dance and spin.
A happy game of dreidel,
Come play now, let’s begin!
Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
I made it out of clay
And when it’s dry and ready,
Then dreidel I will play.
Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let is Snow! (Sheet Music →)
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 stopping,
And I brought some corn for popping.
The lights are turned way down low -
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
When we finally say 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 goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
When we finally say 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 goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
Silent Night (Sheet Music →)
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 afer,
Heavenly hosts sing “Aleluia.”
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.
Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town (Sheet Music →)
You better watch out,
You better not cry,
Better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is comin' to town.
He's making a list
And checking it twice,
Gonna find out
Who's naughty and nice.
Santa Claus is comin' to town.
He sees you when you're sleepin',
He knows when you're awake,
he knows if you've been bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake.
You better watch out,
You better not cry,
Better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is comin' to town.
O Come, All ye Faithful (Sheet Music →)
O come, all ye faithful,
joyful and triumphant
O come ye, o come ye
to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him,
born the King of Angels
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord.
Sing, choirs of angels,

Sing all ye citizens of heaven above;
Glory to God, all
Glory in the highest!
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord.
Yes, Lord we greet thee,
Born this happy morning,
Jesus, to thee be all glory given;
Word of the Father,
Now in flesh appearing
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord.
Hanukkah, O Hanukkah (Sheet Music →)
O Hanukkah, O Hanukkah
come light the menorah.
Let’s have a party,
We’ll all dance the hora!
Gather ‘round the table, we’ll give you a treat:
S’vivon to play with and latkes to eat.
And while we are playing
The candles are burning low.
One for each night,
They shed a sweet light
To remind us of days long ago.
One for each night,
They shed a sweet light
To remind us of days long ago.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (Sheet Music →)
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid and Donner 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!”
We Wish You a Merry Christmas (Sheet Music →)
We Wish You a Merry Christmas,
We Wish You a Merry Christmas,
We Wish You a Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
Good tidings to you
Wherever you are;
Good tidings for Christmas
And a happy new year!
Oh bring us some figgy pudding,
Oh bring us some figgy pudding,
Oh bring us some figgy pudding and a cup of good cheer!
Good tidings to you
Wherever you are;
Good tidings for Christmas
And a happy new year!
We won’t go until we get some,
We won’t go until we get some,
We won’t go until we get some, so bring it right here!
Good tidings to you
Wherever you are;
Good tidings for Christmas
And a happy new year!
Winter Wonderland (Sheet Music →)
Sleigh bells ring, are you list’nin’?
In the lane snow is glist’nin’,
A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight
Walkin’ in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is the new bird.
He sings a love song as we go along,
Walkin’ in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown.
He’ll say, “Are you married?” We’ll say “No, man!
But, you can do the job when you’re in town!”
Later on we’ll conspire
As we dream by the firs
To face unafraid the plans that we made,
Walkin’ in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he’s a circus clown.
We’ll have lots of fun with mister snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down.
When it snows ain’t it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling?
We’ll frolic and play the B-Y-C way
Walking in a winter wonderland,
Walking in a winter wonderland,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
