12. Up on the House Top 1. Away In A Manger
Up on the housetop Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
Reindeer pause, The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
Out jumps good old Santa Claus. The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,
Down thru’ the chimney The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay.
With lots of toys,
All for the little ones, The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
Christmas joys. But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
Ho, ho, ho! I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
Who wouldn’t go! And stay by my cradle til morning is nigh.
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn’t go! Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
Up on the housetop, Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
Click, click, click, Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
Down thru’ the chimney And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there.
With good Saint Nick.

10. Santa Claus is Coming to Town 3. Frosty The Snowman
Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
You better watch out And two eyes made out of coal
You better not cry Frosty the Snowman is a fairytale they say
You better not pout He was made of snow but the children know
I’m telling you why That he came to life one day
Santa Claus is coming to town
There must have been some magic
In that old silk hat they found
He’s making a list, For when they placed it on his head
Checking it twice, He began to dance around
Gonna find out who’s naughty or nice. Frosty the Snowman was as live as he could be
Santa Claus is coming to town And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
He sees you when you’re sleeping
He knows when you’re awake Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump
He knows if you’ve been bad or good Look at Frosty go
So be good for goodness sake Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow
You better watch out
You better not cry Frosty the Snowman knew the sun was hot that day
So he said let’s run and we’ll have some fun
You better not pout
Now before I melt away down to the village
I’m telling you why With a broomstick in his hand
Santa Claus is coming to town Running here and there all around the square
Saying catch me if you can
He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
He only paused a moment when
He heard him holler stop
Frosty the Snowman he had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye saying don’t you cry
I’ll be back again some day
4. Here Comes Santa Claus 9. Rudolph the Red Nosed
Reindeer
Here comes Santa Claus,
here comes Santa Claus, Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
Right down Santa Claus lane had a very shiny nose.
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer And if you ever saw him,
Pullin’ on the reins you would even say it glows.
Bells are ringin’, children singin’
All is merry and bright All of the other reindeer
Hang your stockings and say your prayers used to laugh and call him names.
‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight! They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.
Here comes Santa Claus,
here comes Santa Claus, Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Right down Santa Claus lane Santa came to say:
He’s got a bag that’s filled with toys “Rudolph with your nose so bright,
For boys and girls again won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,
Oh what a beautiful sight Then all the reindeer loved him
So jump in bed and cover your head
as they shouted out with glee,
‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight!
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you’ll go down in history!
8. Let It Snow 5. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa
Claus
Oh the weather outside is frightful,
but the fire is so delightful. I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
And since we’ve no place to go. Underneath the mistletoe last night
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! She didn’t see me creep
down the stairs to have a peep;
It doesn’t show signs of stopping, She thought that I was tucked
And I’ve brought some corn for popping. up in my bedroom fast asleep
The lights are turned way down low.
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Then I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white;
When we finally kiss goodnight, Oh what a laugh it would have been
How I’ll hate going out in the storm! If Daddy had only seen
But if you’ll really hold me tight, Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night
all the way home I’ll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
and, my dear, we’re still good-bying.
As long as you love me so.
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
6. Jingle Bells 7. Jolly Old Saint Nicholas
Dashing through the snow Jolly Old Saint Nicholas,
In a one-horse open sleigh Lean your ear this way;
Over the fields we go Don’t you tell a single soul
Laughing all the way. What I’m going to say,
Bells on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright Christmas Eve is coming soon;
What fun it is to ride and sing Now you dear old man,
A sleighing song tonight. Whisper what you’ll bring to me;
Tell me if you can.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, O
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
