White Christmas Broadway Ensemble - Happy Holiday / Let Yourself Go
[ Featuring Brian D'Arcy James, Jeffry Denman ]
[Happy Holiday]
Happy holiday, happy holiday
While the merry bells keep ringing
May your ev'ry wish come true
Happy holiday, happy holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy holidays to you
[Let Yourself Go]
As you listen to the band don't you get a bubble?
As you listen to them play don't you get a glow?
If you step out on the floor
You'll forget your trouble
If you go into your dance
You'll forget your woe
So:
Come, get together
Let the dance floor feel your leather
Step as lightly as a feather
Let yourself go
Come, hit the timber
Loosen up and start to limber
Can't you hear that hot marimba?
Let yourself go
Let yourself go, relax
And let yourself go, relax
You've got yourself tied up in a knot
The night is cold but the music's hot
So
Come, cuddle closer
Don't you dare to answer "No, sir"
Butcher, banker, clerk and grocer
Let yourself go

Brian D'Arcy James - Love and the Weather
[ Featuring Anastasia Barzee ]
[Verse:]
Unpredictable, irresponsible
Unbelievable, unreliable
Ever since the world began
Are Cupid and the weather man
[Refrain:]
Love and the weather, birds of a feather
Can't be depended upon
One day it's sunny, next day the sunshine has gone
Love and the weather, always together
Planning another surprise
Bringing the raindrops just like the tears to your eyes
There was I with love close by
So cozy and warm
Love walked out and so did I
Right out of the warm
Into a storm
Moonlight romances have to take chances
That's what I learned with the dawn
Love and the weather can't be depended upon
[Alternate Final Strain:]
Moonlight advances, love's golden chances
Rain comes along and they're gone
Love and the weather can't be depended upon

Anastasia Barzee - Sisters
[ Featuring Meredith Patterson ]
Sisters, sisters
There were never such devoted sisters
Never had to have a chaperone, no sir
Im here to keep my eye on her
Caring, sharing
Every little thing that we are wearing
When a certain gentleman arrives from Rome
She wore the dress and i stayed home
All kinds of weather
We stick together
The same in the rain or sun
Two different faces
But in tight places
We think and we act as one... uh-huh
Those who've seen us
Know that not a thing could come between us
Many men have tried to split us up but no one can
Lord help the mister
Who comes between me and my sister
And lord help the sister who comes between me and my man
Sister
Sister
Sister dont come between me and my man

Jeffrey Denman - The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing
[ Featuring White Christmas Broadway Quintet ]
The best things happen while you're dancing
Things that you would not do at home come nat'rally on the floor
For dancing soon becomes romancing
When you hold a girl in your arms that you've never held before
Even guys with two left feet
Come out all right if the girl is sweet
If by chance their cheeks should meet
While dancing
Proving that the best things happen while you dance

White Christmas Broadway Ensemble - Snow
Snow, it won't be long before we'll all be there with snow
Snow, I want to wash my hands, my face and hair with snow
Snow, I long to clear a path and lift a spade of snow
Snow, oh, to see a great big man entirely made of snow
Where it's snowing
All winter through
That's where I want to be
Snowball throwing
That's what I'll do
How I'm longing to ski
Through the
Snow, those glist'ning houses that seem to be built of snow
Snow, oh, to see a mountain covered with a quilt of snow
What is Christmas with no snow
No white Christmas with no snow
Snow
I'll soon be there with snow
I'll wash my hair with snow
And with a spade of snow
I'll build a man that's made of snow
I'd love to stay up with you but I recommend a little shuteye
Go to sleep
And dream
Of snow, snow, snow, snow, snow

White Christmas Broadway Ensemble - What Can You Do with a General
[Verse:]
When the war was over, why, there were jobs galore
For the G.I. Josephs who were in the war
But for generals things were not so grand
And it's not so hard to understand
[Refrain:]
What can you do with a general
When he stops being a general?
Oh, what can you do with a general who retires?
Who's got a job for a general
When he stops being a general?
They all get a job but a general no one hires
They fill his chest with medals while he's across the foam
And they spread the crimson carpet when he comes marching home
The next day someone hollers when he comes into view
"Here comes the general" and they all say "General who?"
They're delighted that he came
But they can't recall his name
Nobody thinks of assigning him
When they stop wining and dining him
It seems this country never has enjoyed
So many one and two and three and four star generals
Unemployed

Karen Morrow - Let Me Sing and I'm Happy
[Verse:]
What care I who makes the laws of a nation
Let those who will take care of its rights and wrongs
What care I who cares for the world's affairs
As long as I can sing its popular songs
[Refrain:]
Let me sing a funny song
With crazy words that roll along
And if my song can start you laughing
I'm happy, happy
Let me sing a sad refrain
Of broken hearts who love in vain
And if my song can start you crying
I'm happy
Let me croon a lowdown blues
That lifts you out of your seat
If my blues can reach your shoes
And start you tapping your feet
I'm happy
Let me sing of Dixie's charms
Of cotton fields and mammy's arms
And if my song can make you homesick
I'm happy
[Various alternate lines:]
Of broken hearts that loved in vain
To lift you out of your seat
If my song can reach your shoes
The Swanee shore and mother's arms
What care I who makes the laws of a nation
Let those who will take care of its rights and wrongs
What care I who cares for the world's affairs
As long as I can sing its popular songs
[Refrain:]
Let me sing a funny song
With crazy words that roll along
And if my song can start you laughing
I'm happy, happy
Let me sing a sad refrain
Of broken hearts who love in vain
And if my song can start you crying
I'm happy
Let me croon a lowdown blues
That lifts you out of your seat
If my blues can reach your shoes
And start you tapping your feet
I'm happy
Let me sing of Dixie's charms
Of cotton fields and mammy's arms
And if my song can make you homesick
I'm happy
[Various alternate lines:]
Of broken hearts that loved in vain
To lift you out of your seat
If my song can reach your shoes
The Swanee shore and mother's arms

Brian D'Arcy James - Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep
[ Featuring Anastasia Barzee ]
BOB:
When i'm worried and i can't sleep
I count my blessings instead of sheep and i fall asleep counting my blessings
When my bankroll is getting small i think of when i had none at all
And i fall asleep counting my blessings.
I think about a nursery,
And i picture curly heads,
And one by one i count them
As they slumber in their beds.
If you're worried and you cant sleep,
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you'll fall asleep counting your blessings.
Betty:
If i'm worried an i cant sleep i count my blessings instead of sheep
And i fall asleep counting my bless-
BOB:
-if your worried and you can't sleep,
Bob & Betty:
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you'll fall asleep counting your blessings

White Christmas Broadway Ensemble - Blue Skies
[ Featuring Brian D'Arcy James ]
[1st verse:]
I was blue, just as blue as I could be
Ev'ry day was a cloudy day for me
Then good luck came a-knocking at my door
Skies were gray but they're not gray anymore
[Refrain:]
Blue skies smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies do I see
Bluebirds singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds all day long
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothing but blue skies from now on
[2nd verse:]
I should care if the wind blows east or west
I should fret if the worst looks like the best
I should mind if they say it can't be true
I should smile, that's exactly what I do

Jeffrey Denman - I Love a Piano
[ Featuring Meredith Patterson ]
[1st verse:]
As a child I went wild when a band played
How I ran to the man when his hand swayed
Clarinets were my pets, and a slide trombone I thought was simply divine
But today when they play I could hiss them
Ev'ry bar is a jar to my system
But there's one musical instrument that I call mine
[Refrain:]
I love a piano, I love a piano
I love to hear somebody play
Upon a piano, a grand piano
It simply carries me away
I know a fine way to treat a Steinway
I love to run my fingers o'er the keys, the ivories
And with the pedal I love to meddle
When Padarewski comes this way
I'm so delighted if I'm invited
To hear that long haired genius play
So you can keep your fiddle and your bow
Give me a P-I-A-N-O, oh, oh
I love to stop right beside an upright
Or a high toned Baby Grand
[2nd verse:]
When a green Tetrazine starts to warble
I grow cold as an old piece of marble
I allude to the crude little party singer who don't know when to pause
At her best I detest the soprano
But I run to the one at the piano
I always love the accomp'niment and that's because
[Alternate lines:]
Not only music from Broadway
I'm so delighted if I'm invited
To hear a long haired genius play

Anastasia Barzee - Falling out of Love Can Be Fun
[ Featuring Karen Morrow, Meredith Patterson ]
[Verse:]
Crocodile tears will not be shed
They're not for a lady like I'm
I can recall what my aunt said
When she married for the twentieth time
[1st refrain:]
Falling out of love can be fun
After love is over and done
It's an awful blow and although it's upsetting
So much you can do while you're forgetting
Falling out of love can be fun
When you've find your lover has gone
Get your second wind and go on
There's an old affair that is there for renewing
In your grief, do you know what you're doing?
Falling out of love can be fun
Soon, you'll be swinging in a hammock on a porch
One arm wrapped around someone else
The other arm carrying a torch
Love can give a lady a clout
And she may be down but not out
Get yourself a date, don't you wait for the count of ten, then
Falling out of love can be falling in love again
[2nd refrain:]
Falling out of love can be fun
Someone else can soon be the one
By another name, he's the same as his brother
Close your eyes and one is like the other
Falling out of love can be fun
When he goes before you have wed
And the stork is over your head
Soon you're gonna be with a she or a laddie
Smile as you go shopping for a daddy
Falling out of love can be fun
Soon, you'll be losing all your troubles and your fears
One eye winking at someone else
The other eye filling up with tears
When you find your lovin' romance
Gets a sudden kick in the pants
Get yourself surrounded and bounded with lots of men, then
Falling out of love can be falling in love again

Anastasia Barzee - Love, You Didn't Do Right by Me / How Deep Is the Ocean
[ Featuring Brian D'Arcy James ]
Love, you didn't do right by me
You planned a romance that just hadn't a chance
And I'm through
Love, you didn't do right by me
I'm back on the shelf and I'm blaming myself
But it's you
My one love affair didn't get anywhere from the start
To send me a Joe who had winter and snow in his heart
Wasn't smart
Love, you didn't do right by me
As they say in the song
"You done me wrong!"
[Alternate line for male:]
To send me a Jane who had thunder and rain in her heart

Anastasia Barzee - How Deep Is the Ocean (Reprise)
[ Featuring Brian D'Arcy James ]
[Verse:]
How can I tell you what is in my heart?
How can I measure each and every part?
How can I tell you how much I love you?
How can I measure just how much I do?
[Refrain:]
How much do I love you? I'll tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky?
How many times a day do I think of you?
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?
How far would I travel to be where you are?
How far is the journey from here to a star?
And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky?

Brian D'Arcy James - The Old Man
We'll follow the old man wherever he wants to go
Long as he wants to go opposite to the foe
We'll stay with the old man wherever he wants to stay
Long as he stays away from the battle's fray
Because we love him, we love him
Especially when he keeps us on the ball
And we'll tell the kiddies we answered duty's call
With the grandest son of a soldier of them all
Long as he wants to go opposite to the foe
We'll stay with the old man wherever he wants to stay
Long as he stays away from the battle's fray
Because we love him, we love him
Especially when he keeps us on the ball
And we'll tell the kiddies we answered duty's call
With the grandest son of a soldier of them all

White Christmas Broadway Ensemble - White Christmas
[ Featuring Brian D'Arcy James ]
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
With every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white christmas,
With every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your christmases be white
May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your christmases be white
And may all your christmases be white (All your christmases be white)
And may all your christmases be white (All your christmases be white)
And may all your christmases be
(All your christmases be white)
(All your christmases be white)

White Christmas Broadway Ensemble - I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm
The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my love to keep me warm
I can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form
What do I care if icicles form?
I've got my love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat
Off with my glove
I need no overcoat
I'm burning with love
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my love to keep me warm
