Ok, I'll start

The Little Drummer Boy

Come they told me

Pam, rum, pum, pum, pum

Our newborn King to see

Pam, rum, pum, pum, pum

Our finest gifts we bring

Pam, rum, pum, pum, pum

To lay before our king

Pam, rum, pum, pum, pum

Rum, pum, pum, pum

Rum, pum, pum, pum

So to honor him

Pam, rum, pum, pum, pum

When we come.

Little baby

Pam, rum, pum, pum, pum

I am a poor boy too

Pam, rum, pum, pum, pum

I have no gift to bring

Pam, rum, pum, pum, pum

That's fit to give our king

Pam, rum, pum, pum, pum

Rum pum pum pum

Rum, pum, pum, pum

Shall I play for him

Pam, rum, pum, pum, pum

On my drum.

(Marry nodded)

(Pam, rum, pum, pum, pum)

(The ox and lamb kept time)

(Pam, rum, pum, pum, pum)

I played my drum for him

Pam, rum, pum, pum, pum

I played my best for him

Pam, rum, pum, pum, pum

Rum pum pum pum

Rum pum pum pum

Then he smiled at me

Pam, rum, pum, pum, pum

Me and my drum...

Bah Humbug..

(Grumble Grumble)

Sodding Christmas...

(Complain Complain)

Bloody Carollers should be shot

Then I will get some peace

 

[justanothercowgirl]

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth,

My two front teeth, see my two front teeth.

Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth,

Then I could wish you "Merry Christmas."

It seems so long since I could say,

"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle."

Gosh, oh gee, how happy I'd be

If I could only whistle.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth,

My two front teeth, see my two front teeth

Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth,

Then I could wish you "Merry Christmas."

[tifflunn]

I got one.

I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

Only a hippopotamus will do

Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy

I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?

He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue

Just bring him through the front door, that's the easy thing to do

I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs

Oh what joy and what surprise when I open up my eyes

to see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

Only a hippopotamus will do

No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses

I only like hippopotamuses

And hippopotamuses like me too

Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then

Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian

There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage

I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage

I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs

Oh what joy and what surprise when I open up my eyes

to see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

Only a hippopotamus will do

No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses

I only like hippopotamuseses

And hippopotamuses like me too!

Joy to the World

The lord is come

Let earth receive her king

let every heart prepare him room

and heaven and nature sing

let heaven and nature sing

let heaven and heaven and nature sing

He rules the world with truth and grace

and makes the nations prove

the glories of his rightiousness

Repeat the sounding joy

Repeat the sounding joy

Repeat Repeat the sounding joy

Thats all I know I know there are more verses but hope this is enough

 

[Shari]

You don't want me to sing......ever. If I did, everyone would run away screaming and holding their ears.

 

[nootka]

I love Silent Night:

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 Saviour is born

Christ, the Saviour 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

(after reading Shari's post, I have to agree that you do NOT want to hear me sing if you can help it, though I LOVE to sing. *LOL* Far better that I sing in a crowd where I can be drowned out by those with the ability to do so)

 

[SunQuest]

O Holy Night

O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,

It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.

Long lay the world in sin and error pining.

Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its 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!

O night divine, the night when Christ was born;

O night, O holy night, O night divine!

O night, O holy night, O night divine!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,

With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.

O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,

Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land.

The King of kings lay thus lowly manger;

In all our trials born to be our friends.

He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,

Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!

Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!

Truly He taught us to love one another,

His law is love and His gospel is peace.

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,

His power and glory ever more proclaim!

His power and glory ever more proclaim!

BUT... my favorite that I like to sing is this one, but it is not widely known unless you are a Johnny Cash fan and know the Album that he made in 1963 called "The Christmas Spirit"

Ringing the Bells for Jim

The father heard church bells at midnight

a wrong time for church bells to chime.

He went to the tower found a little girl there

said "why ring the bells at this time."

"I'm just ringing the bells for Jim,

please father, ringing the bells for Jim.

I'm sorry I'm cryin' but my brother Jim's dyin'

so I'm ringing the bells for Jim."

"Please father pray for him this Christmas,

he's sick and he's in so much pain.

The doctors all say he'll be gone any day

so I must ring the bells again."

On the day after Christmas she brought him

said "father heed little Jim.

You see he got well

when he heard the church bells

I was ringing the bells for Jim."

Question.... If we all sing terribly, then would we all improve if we sung together? I am another that can't carry a tune for the life of me.

The Gift

A poor orphan girl named Maria

Was walking to market one day

She stopped for a rest by the roadside

Where a bird with a broken wing lay

A few moments passed till she saw it

For it's feathers were covered with sand

But soon clean and wrapped it was travelling

In the warmth of Maria's small hand

She happily gave her last peso

On a cage made of rushes and twine

She fed it loose corn from the market

And watched it grow stronger with time

Now the Christmas Eve service was coming

And the church shone with tinsel and light

And all of the townfolks brought presents

To lay by the manger that night

There were diamonds and incense

And perfumes

In packages fit for a king

But for one ragged bird in a small cage

Maria had nothing to bring

She waited till just before midnight

So no one would see her go in

And crying she knelt by the manger

For her gift was unworthy of Him

Then a voice spoke to her through the darkness

Maria, what brings you to me

If the bird in the cage is your offering

Open the door and let me see

Though she trembled, she did as He asked her

And out of the cage the bird flew

Soaring up into the rafters

On a wing that had healed good as new

Just then the midnight bells rang out

And the little bird started to sing

A song that no words could recapture

Whose beauty was fit for a king

Now Maria felt blessed just to listen

To that cascade of notes sweet and long

As her offerings was lifted to heaven

By the very first nightingale's song

 

[Robin1]

One of my favorites

Mary Did You Know?

Mary did you know

That your baby boy

Would one day walk

On water

Mary did you know

That your baby boy

Would save our sons

And daughters

Did you know

That your baby boy

Has come to make you new

This child

That you delivered

Will soon deliever you

Mary did you know

That your baby boy

Will give sight

To a blind man

Mary did you know

That your baby boy

Will calm the storm

With His hand

Did you know

That your baby boy

Has walked where angels trod

When you kiss

Your little baby

You kiss the face of God

Oh Mary did you know

Ooo...

The blind will see

The deaf will hear

The dead will live again

The lame will leap

The dumb will speak

The praises of The Lamb

Mary did you know

That your baby boy

Is Lord of all creation

Mary did you know

That you baby boy

Would one day rule the nations

Did you know

That your baby boy

Is Heaven's perfect Lamb

This sleeping child

You're holding

Is the great

I Am

Alright, somebody find me the complete lyrics to the real song and I'll redo it, okay? It'll have to be on one of my days off as there's just too much going on here at work but I'll do my best!

I used to love doing that kind of thing.

[Leeana]

Since most of you already posted my Faves ..here is the one my nephew has been singing EVERY day!

Rudolph the red nose reindeer

Had a very shiny noise

and if you ever saw it

you would even say it glowed!

Leeana

 

[Robin1]

Here you go Leia

(chorus)

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,

Walking home from our house Christmas Eve,

You can say there's no such thing as Santa,

But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

She'd been drinkin too much eggnog,

And we'd begged her not to go,

But she'd forgot her medication

And she staggered out the door into the snow.

When we found her Christmas morning,

At the scene of the attack,

She had hoof prints on her forehead,

And incriminating Claus marks on her back.

(chorus)

Now we're all so proud of Grandpa,

He's been taking this so well,

See him in there watchin football,

Drinkin' beer and playing cards with cousin Mel.

It's not Christmas without Grandma,

All the family's dressed in black,

And we just can't help but wonder,

Should we open up her gifts or send them back?

(SEND THEM BACK!)

(chorus)

Now the goose is on the table,

And the pudding made of fig, (ahh)

And the blue and silver candles

That would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig.

I've warned all my friends and neighbors,

"Better watch out for yourselves",

They should never give a license

To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.

(chorus)

(SING IT GRANDPA!!)

(chorus)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
