Verse

It’s Christmastime in Washington

The Democrats rehearsed

Gettin’ into gear for four more years

Things not gettin’ worse

The Republicans drink whiskey neat

And thanked their lucky stars

They said, ‘He cannot seek another term

They’ll be no more FDRs

I sat home in Tennessee

Staring at the screen

With an uneasy feeling in my chest

And I’m wonderin’ what it means

Verse

I followed in your footsteps once

Back in my travelin’ days

Somewhere I failed to find your trail

Now I’m stumblin’ through the haze

But there’s killers on the highway now

And a man can’t get around

So I sold my soul for wheels that roll

Now I’m stuck here in this town

Verse

There’s foxes in the hen house

Cows out in the corn

The unions have been busted

Their proud red banners torn

To listen to the radio

You’d think that all was well

But you and me and Cisco know

It’s going straight to hell

Verse

So come back, Emma Goldman

Rise up, old Joe Hill

The barracades are goin’ up

They cannot break our will

Come back to us, Malcolm X

And Martin Luther King

We’re marching into Selma

As the bells of freedom ring

Verse

Feliz Navidad, Feliz Navidad,

Feliz Navidad, Prospero Ano y felicidad!

Feliz Navidad, Feliz Navidad,

Feliz Navidad, Prospero Ano y felicidad!

Verse

Feliz Navidad, Feliz Navidad,

Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump,

Look at Frosty go.

Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump,

over the hills of snow…Oh…Oh…over the hills of snow.

Verse

Frosty the Snow Man, was a jolly happy soul

With a corn-cob pipe and a button nose

and two eyes made out of coal.

Verse

Frosty the Snow Man, is a fairy tale they say

He was made of snow but the children know

how he came to life one day.

Verse

Oh, Frosty the Snow Man was alive as he could be,

And the children say he could laugh and play

just the same as you and me.

Verse

Frosty the Snow Man,’ knew the sun was hot that day,

So he said, “Let’s run and we’ll have some fun

now before I melt away.”

Verse

Down to the village, with a broomstick in his hand,

Running here and there all around the square,

saying “Catch me if you can.”

Verse

Frosty the Snow Man had to hurry on his way,

But he waved good-bye, saying, “Don’t you cry;

I’ll be back again some day.”

Ending

Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump,

Look at Frosty go.

Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump,

over the hills of snow…Oh…Oh…over the hills of snow.

Verse

She’d been drinking too much eggnog

and we begged her not to go

but she 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

Verse

Now were all so proud of Grandpa

he’s been taking this so well

see him in there watchingfootball

drinking beer and playing cards with cousin Mel

It’s not Christmas without Grandma

all the family’s dressed in black

and we just cant help but wonder

should we open up her gifts or send them back!

Verse

Now the goose is on the table

and the pudding made of fig

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!

Verse

Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh,

O’er the fields we go, laughing all the way.

Bells on bob-tails ring, making spirits bright,

What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight. Oh…

Verse

A day or two ago, I thought I’d take a ride

And soon Miss Fanny Bright was seated by my side

The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot

We ran into a drifted bank and there we got upsot. Oh…

Verse

A day or two ago, the story I must tell

I went out on the snow and on my back I fell

A gent was riding by in a one-horse open sleigh

He laughed at me as I there lay but quickly drove away. Oh…

Verse

Now the ground is white, go it while you’re young

Take the girls along and sing this sleighing song

Just bet a bobtailed bay, two forty as his speed

Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! you’ll take the lead. Oh…

Intro

Verse

Hey now, all you sinners

Put your lights on, put your lights on

Hey now, all you lovers

Put your lights on, put your lights on

Verse

Hey now, all you killers

Put your lights on, put your lights on

Hey now, all you children

Leave your lights on, you better leave your lights on

Verse

Cause there’s a monster living under my bed

Whispering in my ear

There’s an angel, with a hand on my head

She say I got nothing to fear

There’s a darkness, livin’ deep in my soul

I still got a purpose to serve

So let your light shine, deep into my hole

God, don’t let me lose my nerve

Don’t let me lose my nerve

Solo

Verse

Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now

Wo oh hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now

Hey now, all you sinners

Put your lights on, put your lights on

Hey now, all you children

Leave your lights on, you better leave your lights on

Verse

Because there’s a monster living under my bed

Whispering in my ear

There’s an angel, with a hand on my head

She say I got nothing to fear

Verse

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht!

Alles schläft, einsam wacht

Nur das traute hochheilige Paar.

Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar,

Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!

Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh.

Verse

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht!

Hirten erst kundgemacht

Durch der Engel Halleluja,

Tönt es laut von fern und nah:

Christ, der Retter ist da!

Christ, der Retter ist da!

Verse

Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht!

Gottes Sohn, oh, wie lacht

Lieb’ aus deinem göttlichen Mund,

Da uns schlägt die rettende Stund,

Christ, in deiner Geburt!

Christ, in deiner Geburt!

Verse

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht!

Die der Welt Heil gebracht

Aus des Himmels goldenen Höh’n

Uns der Gnade Fülle läßt seh’n:

Jesus in Menschengestalt.

Jesus in Menschengestalt.

Verse

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht!

Wo sich heut alle Macht

Jener Liebe huldvoll ergoß,

Die uns arme Menschen umschloß:

Jesus, der Heiland der Welt.

Jesus, der Heiland der Welt.

Verse

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht!

Lange schon uns bedacht,

Als der Herr, vom Zorne befreit,

In der Väter urgrauen Zeit

Aller Welt Schonung verhieß.

Aller Welt Schonung verhieß.

Verse 1

All the streets are filled with laughter and light

And the music of the season

And the merchants’ windows are all bright

With the faces of the children

And the families hurrying to their homes

As the sky darkens and freezes

We’ll be gathering around their hearths and tables

Giving thanks for God’s graces

And the birth of the rebel Jesus

Verse 2

Well they call him by the prince of peace

And they call him by the savior

And they pray to him upon the seas

And in every bold endeavor

And they fill His churches with their pride and gold

As their faith in Him increases

But they’ve turned the nature that I worshipped in

From a temple to a robber’s den

In the words of the rebel Jesus

Verse 3

We guard our world with locks and guns

And we guard our fine possessions

And once a year when Christmas comes

We give to our relations

And perhaps we give a little to the poor

If the generosity should seize us

But if any one of us should interfere

In the business of why there are poor

They get the same as the rebel Jesus

Verse 4

But pardon me if I have seemed

To take the tone of judgment

For I’ve no wish to come between

This day and your enjoyment

In a life of hardship and of earthly toil

There’s a need for anything that frees us

So I bid you pleasure

And I bid you cheer

From a heathen and a pagan

On the side of the rebel Jesus

Intro

Verse

These are the days, of the endless sum- mer.

These are the days, the time is now.

There is no past, there’s only fu- ture.

There’s only here, there’s only now.

Verse

Oh, your smiling face, your gracious pre- sence.

And the fires of spring, are kindling bright.

Oh, the radiant heart, and the song of glo- ry.

Crying freedom, in the night.  

Interlude

Verse

These are days, of the endless dan- cing,

and the long walks on, the summer night.

These are the days, of the true roman- cing

When I’m holding you, oh so tight.

Verse

These are the days, now that we must sa- vour,

and we must enjoy, as we can.

These are the days, that will last forever.

You’ve got to hold them, in your heart.
