Last Christmas

[ Originally by Wham ]

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

Merry Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying, "I love you," I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
'Cause if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Crowded room, friends with tired eyes
Hiding from you and your soul of ice
My god, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover, but you tore me apart
Ooh, now I've found a real love
Oh, you'll never fool me again

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover, but you tore him apart
Ooh, maybe next year
I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

[ Originally by Gene Autry ]

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"

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"

Having a Party

[ Featuring Devon Gilfillian ]

We're havin' a party
Dancin' to the music
Played by the DJ
On the radio
Oh, the Cokes are in the icebox
Popcorn's on the table
Me and my baby
We're out here on the floor

So Mr, Mr. Dj
Keep those records playing
'Cause I'm havin' such a good time
Dancin' with my baby

Everybody's swingin'
Sally's doin' the twist now
If you take requests, I've
Got a few for you
Play that song called "Soul Twist"
Play that one called "I Know"
Don't forget the "Mashed Potatoes"
No other songs will do

Let me tell you Mr, Mr. Dj
Keep those records playin'
'Cause I'm havin' such a good time
Dancin' with my baby

Havin' a party (oh yeah)
Everybody's swingin' (everybody's swingin')
Dancin' to the music (dancin' to the music)

Havin' a party (havin' a party)

Christmas Don’t Be Late

[ Originally by Alvin and the Chipmunks ]

Christmas, Christmas time is near
Time for toys and time for cheer
We've been good, but we can't last
Hurry, Christmas, hurry fast

Want a plane that loops the loop
Me, I want a hula hoop
We can hardly stand the wait
Please, Christmas, don't be late

Want a plane that loops the loop
I still want a hula hoop
We can hardly stand the wait
Please, Christmas, don't be late

We can hardly stand the wait
Please, Christmas, don't be late

Maybe This Christmas

[ Featuring Stevie Nicks, Jason Kelce ]

Maybe this Christmas will mean something more
Maybe this year love will appear
Deeper than ever before

And maybe forgiveness will ask us to call
Someone we love, someone we've lost
For reasons we can't quite recall, mm
Maybe this Christmas

Maybe there'll be an open door
Maybe the star that shone before
Will shine once more

Maybe there'll be an open door
Maybe the star that shone before
Will shine once more

Maybe this Christmas will find us at last
In heavenly peace, grateful at least
For the love we've been shown in the past, mm
Maybe this Christmas, maybe this Christmas

It's Christmas Time (In Cleveland Heights)

[ Featuring Boyz II Men, Travis Kelce ]

This is a shout out to everyone all around the world
Who's thinking about home this Christmas
That's right, it's Christmastime
Alright now

It's Christmastime
Oh, it's Christmas
It's Christmastime

Wandering the streets of my hometown
Must have been years since I've been home
Yeah, it's been years since I've been home
Now I'm home

It's Christmastime
In Cleveland Heights
It's Christmastime
In Cleveland Heights

All the empty stores and shopping malls
I remember different in my mind
I think about the lives I left behind
And now snow begins to fall

It's Christmastime
In Cleveland Heights
It's Christmastime
In Cleveland Heights
It's Christmastime
In Cleveland Heights
It's Christmastime
In Cleveland Heights

Feels so good to be back home again
With all my family and friends
Sharing gifts and memories
We make under the Christmas tree, yeah

It's Christmastime around the world (all around the world, yeah)
It's Christmastime around the world (Christmas time, all around the world, yeah, whoa)
It's Christmastime around the world (all around the world, yeah)
It's Christmastime around the world (all around the world)

It's Christmastime (oh)
It's Christmastime (all around)
Oh, oh
It's time

Loud Little Town

There were little feet on our wooden floor as you hung the wreath upon the door
In a lover's light, the world is pure, but the year turned over again
I'd light the fire while you'd string the lights, so self-assured while I'm terrified
Of what's to come, not what's behind as the year turned over again

Over and over, the wheel came around
It's so quiet now in a loud, little town

Through red and green, familiar scores, through pageantry like semaphore
They'll send their love, and we'll hope for more as the year turns over again
They'll come and go, but once they leave, it's just you and me by the Christmas tree
Two thankful hearts who got to see a year turn over again

Over and over, the dust settles down
On the quiet of our loud, little town

Winter's shadow cast alone on the ground
Till the kids come around to serve their time
You're my Northern Star in the darkest of night
Saying, "Hey, we did alright somehow"

Now, over and over, we wait for the sound
Of the quiet now, in our loud, little town

It's so quiet now, in a loud, little town

Please Come Home For Christmas

[ Originally by Charles Brown ]

Bells will be ringin' the glad, glad news
Oh, what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone, I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again

Choirs will be singin' "Silent Night"
Oh, Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas, please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas, by New Year's night

Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
But this is Christmas, yes, Christmas, my dear
The time of year to be with the one you love

So won't you tell me you'll never more roam?
Christmas and New Year's will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and no pain
And I'll be happy, happy once again

So won't you tell me you'll never more roam?
Oh, Christmas and New Year's will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and no pain
And I'll be happy at Christmas once again

Sleigh Ride

[ Featuring Immanuel Wilkins ]

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling, "Yoo-hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, let's go, let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, it's grand just holding your hand
We're gliding along with a song of a wintery fairy land

Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy, cozy are we
We're snuggled up together like birds of a feather would be
Let's take the road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop
Pop, pop, pop

There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives
These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Let's take the road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Oh, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Oh, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Santa Drives An Astrovan

[ Featuring Mt. Joy ]

Reindeer smoking cigarettes on rooftops
In fishnets in the morning
With the moon still glowing
And here comes Santa in an Astrovan
Rolling down Broad and Pattison
He's stoned while Jerry plays

He said, "Life ain't ever what it seems
These dreams are more than paper things
And it's alright, mama, you're afraid
I'll be poor along the way
But I don't wanna see those tears again
You know, Santa drives an Astrovan"
Yes, he does
He said, "Ooh"

And in my heart there's a hole that grows
From all the ones I miss the most
Some of the best ones ain't comin' home
So if I love under the mistletoe
Reaching out for the great unknown
Every reindeer has the illusions

Life ain't ever what it seems
These dreams are more than paper things
And it's alright, mama, you're afraid
I'll be there along the way
And I don't wanna see those tears again
You know Santa drives an Astrovan
Yes, he does
I say, "Ooh"

Ho, ho, ho, ho

When I see those reindeer on the roof
I'll know I've made it
When my doobie smoking Santa
Puts my name up on his "Nice List"
He said, "Son, you're famous in Philly
You'll always be famous in Philly"
And you know you'll always be winnin'
When you're comin' home for Christmas
And I don't wanna see those tears again
You know Santa drives an Astrovan

I don't wanna see those tears again
You know Santa drives an Astrovan

The Parting Glass

Of all the money that e'er I had spent
I've spent it in good company
And all the harm that e'er I've done
Alas, it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night, and joy be with you all

Oh, all the comrades that e'er I've had
Are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I've had
Would wish me one more day to stay

But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise, and you should not
I'll gently rise, and I'll softly call
Good night, and joy be with you all
Good night, and joy be with you all
