CAROLS ON THE BEACH SONG LIST

7

Haul out the holly

Put up the tree before my

spirit falls again

Fill up the stocking

I may be rushing things,

but deck the halls again now

For we need a little Christmas

Right this very minute

Candles in the window

Carols at the spinet

Yes, we need a little Christmas


It hasn’t snowed a single flurry

But Santa, dear, we’re in a hurry

So climb down the chimney

Turn on the brightest string

of light I’ve ever seen

Slice up the fruitcake

It’s time we hung some

tinsel on that evergreen bough

For I’ve grown a little leaner

Grown a little colder

Grown a little sadder

Grown a little older

And I need a little angel

Sitting on my shoulder

I need a little Christmas now

Haul out the holly

Well, once I taught you all

to live each living day

Fill up the stocking

But auntie Mame, it’s one week past

Thanksgiving Day now

But we need a little Christmas




And we need a little Christmas


It hasn’t snowed a single flurry

But Santa, dear, we’re in a hurry

So climb down the chimney

Turn on the brightest string of

light I’ve ever seen

Slice up the fruitcake

It’s time we hung some tinsel

on that evergreen bough

For we need a little Christmas




And we need a little Christmas


We need a little Christmas now

We need a little Christmas now

Santa Claus is coming


He’s not very far away

time to hang your stockings up

Tomorrow’s Christmas day

Put a piece of pie or cake

On a pretty Christmas cake

Remember Rudolph’s carrot

Oh we can hardly wait

The Christmas tree is twinkling

The Christmas pudding’s stirred

The presents are all wrapped and stacked

Cause everybody’s heard






We love singing carols

And lighting candles too

But my favourite part of Christmas Eve

Is cuddling up to you










Is it time for bed yet?

It must be really late

Everything is ready and

we can hardly wait.














WE NEED A LITTLE CHRISTMAS

SANTA BABY

Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me

I’ve been an awful good girl, Santa baby

So hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, a ‘54 convertible, too, light blue

Well I’ll wait up for you, dear, Santa baby

So hurry down the chimney tonight, yeah

Think of all the fun I’ve missed

Think of all the boys I haven’t kissed

Next year I could be just as good

If you check off my Christmas list

Santa baby, I want a yacht and really that’s not a lot

I’ve been an angel all year, Santa baby


Santa, honey, there’s one more thing I really do need, the deed

To a platinum mine, Santa honey


Come and trim my Christmas tree

With some decorations bought at Tiffany’s

I really do believe in you

Let’s see if you believe in me

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing

A ring

And I don’t mean on the phone, Santa baby


ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

I don’t want a lot for Christmas.

There is just one thing I need

And I don’t care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I don’t need to hang my stocking

there upon the fireplace

Santa Claus won’t make me happy

With a toy on Christmas Day

I just want you for my own

more than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you, you, baby

Oh, I won’t ask for much this Christmas

I won’t even wish for snow and I’m just

gonna keep on waiting

Underneath the mistletoe

I won’t make a list and send it

to the North Pole for Saint Nick

I won’t even stay awake to

Hear those magic reindeer click

‘Cause I just want you here tonight.

Holding on to me so tight

What more can I do?

Baby, all I want for Christmas

is you, you, baby

Oh, all the lights are shining

so brightly everywhere

And the sound of children’s

Laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing I hear

those sleigh bells ringing

Santa, won’t you bring me

the one I really need?

Won’t you please bring my baby to me?

Oh, I don’t want a lot for Christmas.

This is all I’m asking for

I just want to see my baby

Standing right outside my door

Oh, I just want you for my own.

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

Baby, all I want for Christmas

is you, you, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby.

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby.

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

OH HOLY NIGHT

Oh holy night! The stars are brightly shining,

It is the night of the dear saviours birth.

Long lay the world in sin and error pining.

Till he appeared and the soul felt it’s worth.

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,

For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!

night devine, O night when Christ was born,

night devine O night devine!

Chains He shall break, for the slave is our brother.

And in his name all oppression shall cease.

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,

With all our hearts we praise His holy name.

Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,

Noel, Noel O night when Christ was born

Noel, Noel O night O night devine

JINGLE BELL ROCK

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring

Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun

Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time

Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square

In the frosty air.

What a bright time, it’s the right time

To rock the night away

Jingle bell time is a swell time

To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet

Jingle around the clock

Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet

That’s the jingle bell, rock

What a bright time, it’s the right time

To rock the night away

Jingle bell time is a swell time

To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet

Jingle around the clock

Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet

That’s the jingle bell,

That’s the jingle bell,

That’s the jingle bell rock

FROSTY THE SNOWMAN

Frosty the snowman

Was a happy, jolly 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

[Instrumental]

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, saying don’t you cry

I’ll be back again some day

THE CHRISTMAS SONG ROCKIN AROUND

THE CHRISTMAS TREE

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir

And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe

Will help to make the season bright

And 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 gonna 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

Though its been said many times, many ways

Merry Christmas to you

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

Merry Christmas,

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, to you

Rockin’ around the Christmas tree

At the Christmas party hop,

Mistletoe hung where you can see,

Every couple tries to stop,

Rockin’ around the Christmas tree,

Let the Christmas spirit ring,

Later we’ll have some pumpkin pie,

And we’ll do some caroling.

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear,

Voices singing, “Let’s be jolly,

Deck the halls with boughs of holly”,


Have a happy holiday,

Everyone dancin’ merrily,

In the new old-fashioned way.

SILENT NIGHT

Silent night, Holy night

All is calm, all is bright

Round yon virgin, mother and child

Holy infant, tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace,

Sleep in heavenly peace.


Shepherds quake, at the sight

Glories stream from heaven above

Heavenly, hosts sing Hallelujah.

Christ the Savior is born,

Christ the Savior is born.


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.

And wonders of His love

RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER

You know Dasher and Dancer

and Prancer and Vixen,

you know 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 all the reindeer loved him,

As they shouted out with glee,

Rudolph the red-nose Reindeer

You’ll go down in history

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Had a very shiny nose

And if you ever saw it,

You would even say it glows,

Join in any reindeer games,

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,

Santa came to say,

Rudolph with your nose so bright,

Wont you guide my sleigh tonight

Then how all the reindeer loved him,

As they shouted out with glee,

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,

You’ll go down in history
