1. _ The Christmas Song
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
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
An' 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
Although it's been said
Many times many ways
Merry christmas to you!
< instrumental break >
And so i'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
Many times many ways
Merry christmas . . . to you!

2. _ Tomboy
Tomboy, tomboy, nuthin' but a tomboy,
Tomboy, tomboy, nuthin' but a tomboy . . .
When we were small, i used to call you "tomboy"
The years have flown since you were known as "tomboy"
No made-up face, no fancy lace, pigtails in your hair,
It seems like only yesterday,
You tagged behind me everywhere!
I never thought that i'd get caught by "tomboy" ( tomboy! )
The pink chiffon worked magic on my "tomboy" ( tomboy! )
An' now i find, i've been blind,
You were always on my mind,
Before i'm through, you'll say i do,
An' "tomboy" will be mine!
Tomboy, tomboy, nuthin' but a tomboy,
Tomboy, tomboy, nuthin' but a tomboy . . .
< instrumental bridge > ( tomboy! )

No made-up face, no fancy lace, pigtails in your hair,

The pink chiffon worked magic on my "tomboy" ( tomboy! )
An' now i find, i've been blind,

3. _ You Needed Me
I cried a tear, you wiped it dry
I was confused, you cleared my mind
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me
And held me up, and gave me dignity
Somehow, you needed me!
You gave me strength, to stand alone again
To face the world, out on my own again
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that i could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me!
Can't believe it's you, i can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
Though i'll never leave, why should i leave?
I'd be a fool, when i finally found someone who really cares!
Who really cares!
You held my hand ~ you held my hand
When it was cold ~ when it was cold
When i was lost ~ when i was lost
You took me home ~ you took me home
You put me high upon a pedestal
So high that i could almost see eternity
You needed me, you needed me . . .
. . . you needed me,
You needed me . . .

4. _ 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 soul felt it's worth!
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks
A new an' glorious morn!
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when christ was born
O night divine o night,
O night divine!
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when christ was born
O night divine o night,
O night divine!
O holy night
O night divine

5. _ Angry
Angry, please don't be angry,
'cause i was only teasing you!
I wouldn't even let you think of leavin'
Don't you know i love you true!
Just because i took a look at somebody else,
That's no reason you should put poor me on the shelf!
Angry, please don't be angry,
'cause i was only teasing you!
Don't believe a thing you hear, just wait 'till you see,
Then you'll find no cause to show that you're jealous of me!
Oh! angry, please don't be angry,

6. _ Sleepy Time Galsleepy Time Gal,
You're turnin' night into day!
Sleepy time gal,
You've danced the ev'ning away!
Before each silvery star fades out of sight,
Please give me one little kiss, then let us whisper "goodnight,"
It's gettin' late and, dear, your pillow's waitin' . . .
Sleepy time gal, when all your dancin' is through,
Sleepy time gal, i'll find a cottage for you.
You'll learn to cook and to sew,
What's more, you'll love it, i know!
When you're a stay-at-home, play-at-home,
Eight o'clock sleepy time gal!

7. _ If ( David Gates )
If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can't i paint you?
The words would never show,
The you i've come to know . . .
If a face could launch a thousand ships,
Then where am i to go?
There's no one home but you,
You're all that's left me to . . .
And when my love for life
Is running dry,
You come and pour
Yourself on me . . .
If a man could be two places at one time,
I'd be with you,
Tomorrow and today,
Beside you all the way . . .
If the world should stop revolving,
Spinning slowly down to die,
I'd spend the end with you
When the world was through . . .
Then one by one
The stars would all go out . . .
Then you and i
Would simply fly away!

8. _ Frosty The Snowman
Frosty the snowman,
Was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose,
And two eyes made 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 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.
Frosty, clumsy as he can be
See him lopping along!
Off he goes on an icicle spree
With a happy song!
Frosty the snowman,
Knew the sun was hot that day,
So he said, "let's run, and we'll have some fun,
Now, before i melt away."
Down to the village,
With a broomstick in his hand,
Runnin' here and there,
All around the square,
Sayin', "catch me if you can."
He led them down the streets of town,
Right to the traffic cop . . .
And only paused a moment,
When he heard him holler, "stop!"
Hmm, frosty the snowman,
Had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye, sayin' "don't you cry,
I'll be back again some day."
Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump . . .
Look at frosty go!
Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump . . .
Over the hills of snow!

9. _ Send In The Clowns
Isn't it rich, are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground, you in mid air!
Send in the clowns!
Isn't it bliss, don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move!
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns!
Just when i stopped, opening doors
Finally knowin' the one that i wanted was yours,
Making my entrance again, with my usual flair
Sure of my lines, but no one is there!
Don't you love farce?
My fault i fear!
I thought that you'd want what i want
I'm sorry my dear!
Quick, send in the clowns . . .
Don't bother . . . they're here!
Isn't it rich, isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career!
Where are the clowns? there's gotta be clowns!
Maybe next year.
. . . maybe next year!

Men and angels sing.

Marching as to war,
With the cross of jesus,

13. _ You're Just In Love
I hear singing and there's no one there,
I smell blossoms and the trees are bare,
All day long i seem to walk on air,
I wonder why, i wonder why ?
I keep tossing in my sleep at night,
And what's more i've lost my appetite,
Stars that used to twinkle in the skies,
Are twinkling in my eyes,
I wonder why ?
You don't need analyzin'
It is not so surpisin'
That you feel very strange but nice!
Your heart goes pitter patter
I know just what's the matter
Because i've been there once or twice!
Put your head on my shoulder
You need someone who's older
A rub-down with a velvet glove!
There is nothing you can take
To relieve that pleasant ache
You're not sick, you're just in love!
< repeat verse and chorus simultaneously >
Now you know why!
Now i know why!
I'm just in love!

And it plays until dark ~ and it plays until dark
It's the sound of the cars ~ sound of the cars
On their furious flight ~ on their furious flight
. . . but there's even romance
In the way that they dance
To the beat of the night!
It's a beautiful noise!~ what a beautiful noise!
And it's the sound that i love! ~ and it's the sound that i love!

17. _ If I Could Almost Read Your Mind

If i could read their minds
I kind of think i'd see
A lot of little questions there concerning me
For instance . . .
Has he aged, or did he lose weight?
I think i read somewhere that he's 38!
He hasn't lost his hair, he could stand a little dye!
He looks relaxed up there but what's he like inside?
How does old perra-la unwind?
I could almost read their minds!
From my publicity
I'll bet you'd like to know,
If i'll stay awake thru the entire show?
You wonder what's beneath that florida tan
Deep down inside is he . . .
A dirty old man?
What does it really take to make him lose his cool?
Does he go anywhere without that tired stool?
Does he notice girl's behinds?
I can almost read your minds!
It doesn't take a guy equipped with esp
To see what's cookin' with your curiosity!
Is "mister nice guy" just a press agent's pitch?
His dearest friends say he's a . . .

Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,

Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me!

Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be?

'c' is for the christ child, born upon this day
'h' for herald angels in the night
'r' means our redeemer
'i' means israel
's' is for the star that shone so bright
't' is for three wise men, they who travelled far

Say, whatever happened to the japanese?
Hmm a hubba-hubba-hubba, haven't you heard?
A hubba-hubba-hubba, slip me the word!
I got it from a guy who was in the kno'
It was mighty smoky over tokyo!
A friend of mine in a b-29 dropped another load for luck,
As he flew away, he was heard to say:
"a hubba-hubba-hubba yuk yuk!"
Well i gotta go fishin'
That's ok, we'll give you our permission and we'll say,
A hubba-hubba-hubba, on your way!
And i will dig you later in the usa!
Ta dah dah dee dee dee ta dee dee, ta dah dah hi hi hi tee dee dee!
A hubba-hubba-hubba, i just got in!
A hubba-hubba-hubba, well give me some skin!
Well you're lookin' mighty purdy miss curly locks!
I'm the grand old girly of the bobby socks!
Hmm yuttata yuttata yuttaton you talk big!
Well i'm the fresh tomata you can't dig!
Let's have a heart to heart'a and you'll decide!
I'm a chick what's really on the solid side!
You knock me flat, you're the kind of a cat,
Makes me wanta blow my top: "

30. _ If I Had A Hammer
If i had a hammer
I would hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land!
I'd hammer out the danger
Hammer out a warning
I'd hammer 'bout the love between
My brothers and my sisters
All, all over this land . . .
All over this land
If i had a bell
I would ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening
All over this land!
I'd ring out the danger
Ring out a warning
I'd ring 'bout the love between
My brothers and my sisters
All, all over this land . . .
All over this land

If i had a song
I would sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening
All over this land!
I'd sing out the danger
Sing out a warning
I'd sing about my brothers and my sisters
All, all over this land . . .
All over this land
Well, i got a hammer, and i got my bell
And i got a song to sing all over this land!
It's the hammer of justice!
It's the bell of freedom!
It's a song to sing
About my brothers and my sisters
All, all over this land!
. . . all over this land, all over this land,
. . . all over this land!

31. _ Far Away Places
Far away places, with strange soundin' names,
Far away over the sea . . .
Those far away places, with the strange soundin' names,
Are callin', callin' me . . .
Goin' to china or maybe siam,
I wanna see for myself . . .
Those far away places, i've been readin' about,
In a book that i took from a shelf . . .
I start gettin' restless whenever i hear
The whistle of a train . . .
I pray for the day i can get under way
And look for those castles in spain!
They call me a dreamer, well maybe i am,
But i know that i'm burnin' to see
Those far away places, with the strange soundin' names,
Callin' . . . callin' . . . me . . .

33. _ But Beautiful
Love is funny, or it's sad,
Or it's quiet, or it's mad.
It's a good thing, or it's bad,
But beautiful . . .
Beautiful to take a chance,
And if you fall, you fall.
And i'm thinkin'
I wouldn't mind at all . . .
Love is tearful, or it's gay,
It's a problem, or it's play.
It's a heartache either way,
But beautiful . . .
And i'm thinkin'
If you were mine,
I'd never let you go,
And that would be the beautiful i know.

Ho-ly god, we praise thy name;
Lord of all, we bow be-fore thee!
All on earth thy scep-ter claim,
All in heav-en a-bove a-dore thee;
In-fin-ite thy vast do-main,
Ev-er-last-ing is thy reign.
Hark! the loud ce-les-tial hymn
An-gel choirs a-bove are rais-ing,
Cher-u-bim and ser-a-phim,
In un-ceas-ing chor-us prais-ing;
Fill the heav-ens with sweet ac-cord:
Ho-ly, ho-ly, ho-ly, lord.
Lo! the a-pos-tol-ic train
Join the sa-cred name to hal-low;
Pro-phets swell the loud re-frain,
And the white-robed mar-tyrs fol-low;
And from morn to set of sun,
Through the church the song goes on.
Ho-ly fa-ther, ho-ly son,
Ho-ly spir-it, three we name thee;
While in es-sence on-ly one,
Un-di-vid-ed god we claim thee;
And a-dor-ing bend the knee,
While we own the mys-ter-y.

37. _ Put Your Hand In The Hand
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who stilled the water . . .
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who calmed the sea . . .
Take a look at yourself,
And you can look at others differently,
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man
From the galilee!
Every time i look into the holy book
I want to tremble . . .
When i read about the part where the carpenter
Cleared the temple . . .
For the buyers and the sellers were no different fellas
Than what i profess to be,
And it causes me shame to know
I'm not the guy that i should be!

Mamma taught me how to pray
Before i reached the age of seven . . .
She said: there'll come a time when we'll probably need a room
In heaven!
And i'm feeling kinda guilty

38. _ When I Need You
When i need you,
I just close my eyes and i'm with you
And all that i so want to give you,
It's only a heartbeat away!
When i need love,
I hold out my hands and i touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night an' day!
A thousand miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can take the place of your smile
But you know i won't be travellin' forever
It's cold out, but hold out an do like i do!
When i need you,
I just close my eyes and i'm with you
And all that i so want to give you,
It's only a heartbeat away!
It's not easy when the road is goodbye, love! ( goodbye, love! )
Honey, that's a heavy load that we bare!
But you know i won't be travellin' a lifetime!
It's cold out, but hold out
An do like i do!
When i need love,
I hold out my hands and i touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night an' day!
When it's cold out,

Love, look at the two of us,
Strangers, in many ways,
We've got a lifetime to share,
So much to say,
And, as we go, from day to day,
I'll feel you close to me,
But, time alone will tell,
Let's take a lifetime to say,
"i knew you well!"
For only time will tell us so,
And love may grow,
For all we know!

( i'm in love with the girl with the golden,
Can't live without the girl with the golden . . . braids! )
I saw a gal with golden hair
Dancin' as i played
Never saw a gal so fair
As the girl with the golden braids!
I was travellin' with a band,
Came to town and stayed
Knew i'd have to seek the hand
Of the girl with the golden braids!
Oh! . . . dance girl, dance an' sway,
Dance an' steal my heart away,
So many fellas stand in line
But i knew you'd be mine!
Yes, you'd be mine!
Knew i had to take a chance,
So i made a trade
Gave my fiddle for a dance
With the girl with the golden braids
Now i'm thru forever more,
Roamin' never paid
Found that life that i adore
With the girl with the golden braids!
Oh! . . . dance girl, dance an' sway,

Lucky me, i'm so in love
With the girl with the golden braids!
Ever since that night in june,
Life's a rosy shade,
Dancin' on my honeymoon
With the gal with the golden braids!
Oh! . . . dance girl, dance an' sway,
Dance an' steal my heart away,
So many fellas stand in line
But i knew you'd be mine!
Dance girl, dance an' sway,
Dance an' steal my heart away,

Yet there you were, in love with me.
I found your lips close to mine, so i kissed you,
And you didn't mind it at all!

Not the eisenhower's no, this is not that kind of show!
Not the kennedy's, no not the kennedy's,

With the kennedy's there'd have to be more than four
Just a simple american, not one of the "greats"
But he happens to be president of these united states!

Who would have thought you would turn out so smart?
Changes, many changes, since i first looked at you,
Funny, very funny, what a few years can do!

Who would have thought they'd become so sublime?
I would have thought, for i thought so all the time!

Of being in your mind tomorrow,
Sharing your joys and your sorrow,
Helping you see what it means,

Oh! what a trip!
What a wonderful trip!
And to think that i was worried
At the start of the trip!
I must confess that i was filled with doubt
But there was really nothing to worry about!
They love me, they love me!
I'm welcome everywhere with open arms!
They love me, they love me!
I never knew i had so many charms!
In pakistan they took be sailing on a lovely lake
In india they let be see a mongoose kill a snake
Because they love me, they love me
An' they want me to come back again!
They love me, they love me!
In tokyo they think that i'm a "dream"
They claimed me an' named me
"america's ambassador supreme"
They always have a banquet
On the day that i arrive
In borneo they made me eat
An octopus "alive!"
Because they love me? . . . they love me
An' they want me to come back again!
They love me, they love me!
With every place i visit it's the same!
They meet me, an' greet me!
With every kind of present you can name!
A chieftain in new guinea
With his forehead painted "red"
Presented me with a poison arrow
An' a "shrunken head"
Because they love me . . . oh they love me
An' they want me to come back again!
They love me, they love me!
I smile when i'm presented with a key!
In thailand 'twas my land
I spent a happy day from two to three!
The day i left arabia
My seat was full of bumps . . .
They made me ride a camel
Where i sat between the humps!
Because they love me . . . they love me
An' they want me to come back
They want me to come back
They want me to come back again!

57. _ Where Do I Begin ?
( theme from "love story" )
Where do i begin ?
To tell the story of how great a love can be,
The sweet love story that is older than the sea,
The simple truth about the love she brings to me,
Where do i start ?
With her first hello!
She gave a meaning to this empty world of mine,
There'd never be another love, another time,
She came into my life and made the living fine,
She fills my heart . . .
She fills my heart with very special things,
With angels' songs , with wild imaginings,
She fills my soul with so much love,
That anywhere i go, i'm never lonely,
With her along, who could be lonely ?
I reach for her hand, it's always there . . .
How long does it last ?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day ?

I know i'll need her 'till the stars all burn away

59. _ First Lady
( she's the first lady, she's the first lady,
She's the first lady of the land! )
She might have been a teacher
A job that she'd adore . . .
She might have been a housewife
A wife and nothing more!
She might have been an actress
Who might have played broadway!
But my husband had to be president ( hmm . . . )
And what am i today?
I'm the "first" lady of the land,
The "first" lady of the land
Standing on a receiving line,
Winding up with an aching spine
Calluses on my receiving hand,
As the "first" lady of the land!
For every week a different hairdo,
Which means another dress
Those meetings with committees,
And sparing with the "press"
Those dreary formal dinners,
When i stay up 'till dawn
Counting all the silver
When the guests have gone!
When they march out in single file,
And i must smile, smile, smile!
I'd rather be the second
Or the third or the forth
Or the fifth or the sixth
Or the seventh instead
Of the "first" lady of the land!
I'm the "first" lady of the land,
The "first" lady of the land
Entertaining at lunch or tea,
Do do-gooders who call on me
Telling of their noble deeds they've planned
For the "first" lady of the land!
And oh the presents that they send me
An awful lot of junk
An un-housebroken poodle
A dehydrated skunk
A turkey for "thanksgiving"
Potat'as in a sack
But when they send me a "diamond"
I must send it back!
When the whole cabinet arrives
And bring their wives, wives, wives!
I'd rather be the second
Or the third or the forth
Or the fifth or the sixth
Or the seventh instead
Of the "first" lady of the land!

60. _ It's A Lovely Day Today
It's a lovely day today,

You've got a lovely day to do it in

For i'd really like to stay!

I'd be so happy to be doin' it

61. _ Mother Dear, O Pray For Me
Verse 1
Mother dear, o pray for me!
Whilst far from heav'n and thee.
I wander in a fragile bark,
O'er life's tempestuous sea.
O virgin mother, from thy throne,
So bright in bliss above.
Protect thy child and cheer my path
With thy sweet smile of love.
Verse 2
Mother dear, o pray for me!
Should pleasure's siren lay.
E'er tempt thy child to wander far
From virtue's path away.
When thorns beset life's devious way,
And darkling waters flow.
Then mary aid thy weeping child,
Thyself a mother show.
Chorus
Mother dear, remember me!
And never cease thy care,
'till in heaven eternally,
Thy love and bliss i share.

62. _ South Of The Bor
South of the border, down mexico way,
That's where i fell in love when the stars above came out to play,
And now as i wander, my thoughts ever stray,
South of the border, down mexico way!
She was a picture in ol' spanish lace,
Just for a tender while i kissed the smile upon her face,
For it was "fiesta" and we were so gay,
South of the border, down mexico way!
Then she sighed as she whispered "mañana"
Never dreamin' that we were partin',
And i lied as i whispered "mañana"
For our tomorrow never came!
South of the border, i rode back one day,
There in a veil of white by candle-light she knelt to pray,
The mission bells told me that i mustn't stay,
South of the border, down mexico way!
Ay! ay! ay! ay!. . . ay! ay! ay! ay!

63. _ There Must Be A Way
There must be a way to help me forget that we're through,
There must be a way to stop me from dreaming of you.
There must be a star in the skies that isn't reflecting your eyes,
I just don't know how to disguise, how much i miss you!
There must be a song that doesn't remind me of you,
There must be a kiss to thrill me like yours used to do!
I looked for a way to be happy, happy with somebody new,
Oh there must be a way, but i can't find that way without you!

Yesterday i heard the rain,
Whispering your name,
Asking where you'd gone . . .
It fell softly from the clouds
On the silent crowds,
As i wandered on . . .
Out of doorways
Black umbrellas came to pursue me,
Faceless people as they passed
Were looking through me,
No one knew me . . .
Yesterday i shut my eyes,
Face-up to the skies,
Drinkin' in the rain . . .
But your image still was there
Floating in the air,
Brighter than a flame . . .
Yesterday i saw a city,
Full of shadows without pity,
And i heard the steady rain,
Whispering your name,
Whispering your name . . .

Some enchanted evening, you may see a stranger
You may see a stranger across a crowded room,
An' somehow you know, you know even then,
That somewhere you'll see her again and again!
Some enchanted evening, someone may be laughing
You may hear her laughing across a crowded room,
An' night after night as strange as it seems
The sound of her laughter will sing in your dreams!
Who can explain it, who can tell you why,
Fools give you reasons, wise men never try!
Some enchanted evening, when you find your true love
When you hear her call you across a crowded room,
Then fly to her side and make her your own
Or all thru your life you may dream all alone!
Once you have found her,
Never let her go!
Once you have found her,
Never let her go!

Hiding out in someone's arms,
He knew nothing,
Of the danger in her charms!

But i'd forgive her,
If i could see,
A signed confession,
That she's repented,
And really wanted no one but me!

Close to a little leafy lane

The blossoms raised their thirsty heads
A perfumed thank you they seem to say!
Surely here was charm beyond compare to view
Maybe it was just that i was there
With you!
'twas just a garden in the rain,
But then the sun came out again
And sent us happily on our way!
Surely here was charm beyond compare to view
But, maybe it was just that you were there dear,
You were so lovely!

But then the sun came out again
And sent us happily on our way!

When you're down an' out, when you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard, i will comfort you,
I'll take your part,
Oh! when darkness comes,
And pain is all around . . .
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!
Like a bridge over troubled water,

Sail on silver girl, sail on by,
Your time has come to shine, all your dreams are on their way,

I have planted a tree
So i know what "hope" is
I have held a helping hand
So i know what "kindness" is
I have seen a blossom burst into bloom
So i know what "glory" is
I have lost a friend
So i know what "sorrow" is
I have knelt down in prayer

When did this feeling start to grow in me,
Where you're concerned?
Why did it take so long for me to see?
I can't pretend i'm just a friend,

If love is just a game, then i can't play,
Where you're concerned!
I never thought i'd feel this way, but now,
I want to live, just to give,
Where you're concerned!
Can't sleep at night without dreams of you,
And now you fill my daydreams too!

76. _ ( The ) First Christmas (1950 Version )
Hi boys and girls, i'm perry como,
And i'm gonna tell you the most wonderful story in the whole world,
The story of the first christmas!
Now suppose you make believe this is many, many years ago,
A long time before you were born!
You're standing on a hillside, near a little town in palestine,
Do you see the man in the distance, walking slowly, leading a donkey?
His name is joseph!
And riding on the donkey is mary.
They've come a long, long way,
And they're heading for the town near the hillside,
On which we're standing!
Something very special will happen in this town tonight!
For this is the little town of bethlehem!
Oh little town of bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie,
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,
The silent stars go by!
Yet in thy dark streets shineth,
The everlasting light!
The hopes and fears of all the years,
Are met in thee tonight!
Now let's follow joseph and mary into bethlehem,
It's getting dark and all the rooms at the inn are taken,
So they spend the night at a stable.
Now i told you something special was gonna happen, and it did!
A baby boy is born to mary,
And they called him jesus.
They had no baby's crib, so mary puts little jesus to sleep,
In the soft sweet hay of a manger!
Come, come, come to the manger,
Little lord jesus is born on this day!
Now while jesus lies in the manger asleep,
Let's tiptoe back to the hillside near bethlehem,
Where the shepherds tend their flock.
All at once the shepherds are frightened,
You'd be frightened too,
Because a great light suddenly shines in the sky!
Even the animals are hushed and still,
But then you hear the voice of an angel of the lord!
And you're no longer frightened,
For the angel brings good news,
News of a saviour born this day,
News of christ the lord!
The first noel! the angels did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds,
In fields as they lay,
Noel, noel, noel, noel!
Born is the king of israel!
Now boys and girls,
Remember, we're still making believe we're with the shepherds and the angel,
On the hillside near bethlehem.
The shepherds ask the angel,
Where to find the christ-child ?
And the angel tells them to go to the manger.
And as they leave the sky is filled with others angels singing,
Glory to god! on earth peace, goodwill, to men!
The shepherds hurry to the manger,
Fall on their knees before the baby,
And they worship him!
For he is christ the lord!
Oh! come all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant!
Oh come ye, oh! come ye, to bethlehem!
Come and behold him,
Born the king of angels,
Oh! come let us adore him,
Oh! come let us adore him,
Oh! come let us adore him,
Christ the lord!
And now, look up into the sky!
See that bright star twinkling in the heavens ?
Far away, three men are looking at that star just as we are!
They're riding on camels,
And they're using the star as a guide to lead them to the christ-child.
Who are these three men who follow the star ?
Let's find out!
We three kings of orient are,
Bearing gifts, we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star!
That's right boys and girls,
The three men on the camels are the three wise men,
The new star guides them to bethlehem,
To a little baby lying in a manger!
There the three wise men present gifts to the christ-child,
The first christmas gifts ever given to anyone,
A gift of gold, of frankincense, and of mir!
The wise men fall on their knees to worship him,
A great peace settles on the night,
For it's the holy night!
Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright,

77. _ I Think Of You
When i'm alone at night,
And there's no one to comfort me,
I think of you . . .
And suddenly my pillow is your face and your arms.
And when the winter wind comes chasin' after me,
I think of you . . .
And it's as though i crawl beneath the blanket
Soft and warm.
How did i get from dark to daylight,
Before you happened to pass by?
How did i find my way through life,
Before you brightened up my sky?
Was there a sky at all,
Until you painted it for me?
How did i get on,

78. _ My Days Of Loving You
When i think how soon we run out of time,
Lookin' back at what i've done in my time,
My accomplishments are few,
But for my days of loving you!
If i've never gone too far in this world,
When i might have made my mark in this world,
I had better things to do,
I had my days of loving you!
Let the others go their way,
Seeking more and more,
Give me just one yesterday,
Filled with love like yours!
I have nothin' to regret in this life,
I've had all there is to get in this life,
Once i lived a dream come true,
I had my days of loving you!
Once i lived a dream come true,
I had my days of loving you!
I had my days of loving you!

I find the roses waking 'round my feet,
And i am led through tears and joy to thee,

And pray his love may make our love divine,

Stealing through the night!

Alone from night to night you'll find me,
Too weak to break the chains that bind me,
I need no shackles to remind me,
I'm just a prisoner of love!
For one command i stand and wait now,
From one who's master of my fate now,
I can't escape for it's too late now,
I'm just a prisoner of love!
What's the good of my caring,
If someone is sharing those arms with me!
Although she has another,
I can't have another, for i'm not free!
She's in my dreams awake or sleeping,
Upon my knees to her i'm creeping,
My very life is in her keeping,
I'm just a prisoner of love . . .
What's the good of my caring,
If someone is sharing those arms with me!
Although she has another,
I can't have another, for i'm not free!
She's in my dreams awake or sleeping,
Upon my knees to her i'm creeping,
My very life is in her keeping,
I'm just a prisoner of love . . .

88. _ Song For Belly Dancer
My youth was spent in the orient
Where they never taught me to waltz
You'd be surprised when i exercised
It was never done to a waltz!
It was "done" like this . . .
But never to a waltz!
In ancient siam, women like i am
Indoors or on the street . . .
No woman . . . dances with her feet!
Egyptian, persian, only one version
No other stands a chance,
Feet are for walking,
Not for dance!
To an oriental fiddle,
You can see them shake their middle,
The feet don't mean a thing
Middles are all they swing!
Even an egyptian "mummy"
Wiggles her tummy
Wiggles it so an' so
That is the only dance ! know!
< instrumental break >
You don't need an arthur murray
Just a fringe that's on the surrey
Will satisfy your needs
Dancing between the beads!
Everybody shake your torso
Sexy but more-so,
Shake it, come on, let's go . . .
Let's do the only dance i know!

89. _ Song Of Songs
Do you recall that night in june when first we met?
Do you remember love the words we spoke?
Have you forgotten all the tender vows we made
In the silent magical moonbeams light?
Gone are the golden dreams
With summer roses,
And all of our tender-est vows
Were made but to be broken . . .
Song of songs,
Song of memory,
And broken melody of love and life
Nevermore to me
Can that melody
Fill the heart
With the joy once it knew . . .
Oh night of bliss, night of june and love
Beneath the stars amid the roses . . .
Oh dream of delight that faded at dawn
Oh song of songs,
Oh night of bliss,
When you were my whole world of love!
< instrumental break >
When you were my whole world of love . . .
Of love!

This is a great country, a great country
So let's shout it clear and loud!
Take a look in your history book
And you'll see why we should be proud!
Hats off to america, the home of the free and the brave
If this is flag waving, flag waving
Do you know of a better flag to wave?
This is a great country, a great country
So let's shout it clear and loud!

92. _ Secret Service
The "secret service" makes me nervous
When i am dating they are waiting to observe us
When i get ready to hold steady for the "kiss" you plan
The "secret service" makes me nervous and i can't!
They're always spying, no denying
They're always peeping, gumshoe creeping, private eying
When i'm beginning to give-inning like a maiden aunt
The "secret service" makes me nervous and i can't!
I've been exposed beyond control
Just like a "goldfish" in a bowl!
The president's daughter must drink water
No drink of "scotch" she might do what she hadn't otter
When i'm ignited, so excited that i start to "pant"
The "secret service" makes me nervous
When my lamps are lit
And i say "this is it!"
. . . the "secret service" makes me nervous
And i can't!
The "secret service" makes me nervous
Those white house "dicks" get all their kicks
When they observe us!
Just as i wind up, make my mind up, not to say "i won't"
The "secret service" makes me nervous and i don't!
When things look "rosy" they get nosy
They'll say there's "tootsie" playing "footsie" very cosy
My pulse goes higher, i'm on fire, shakin' at the knees
The "secret service" makes me nervous and i freeze!
Whatever i may do or say
Will be reported the next day!
They don't see clearly when i'm merely being courted
When i'm just "necking" simply "pecking" with a "cary grant"
They stand behind me to remind me "who" and "what" i am
. . . when i don't give a "?x?x" ( ooh ahh ahh! )
The "secret service" makes me nervous and i can't!

93. _ When You Were Sweet Sixteen
When first i saw the love-light in your eyes,
I dreamed the world held not but joy for me.
And even though we drifted far apart,
I never dream but what i dream of thee.
I love you as i never loved before,
Since first i met you on the village green.
Come to me or my dream of love is o'r,
I love you as i loved you, when you were sweet,
When you were sweet sixteen.
I love you as i never loved before,
Since first i met you on the village green.
Come to me or my dream of love is o'r . . .
I love you as i loved you, when you were sweet,
When you were sweet sixteen.

95. _ Empty Pockets Filled With Love
Empty pockets but a heart full of love
A heart full of love for you
Cash? not any, not one red penny
But kisses many, for you!
Empty pockets but a heart beating fast
As true as the stars above
Please say that you'll get by with just a guy
With empty pockets filled with love!
You can't eat love, you can't drink love
You can't wear love, like you would a gown
I trust love but "just" love won't pay for caviar
Won't buy that motor car, or a house in town!
You can't spend love, you can't lend love
You must end love when the chips are down!
Love flies out the window when there's nothin' to eat
Nothin' to drink, nothin' to wear but a frown
An' the chips are down!

96. _ I Found A Million Dollar Baby
( in a five and ten cent store )
It was a lucky april shower
It was the most convenient door
I found a million dollar baby
In a five an' ten cent store!
The rain continued for an' hour
I hung around for three or four
Around a million dollar baby
In a five an' ten cent store!
She was sellin' china
An' when she made those eyes
I kept buyin' china
Until the crowd got wise!
Incidentally . . .
If you should run into a shower
Just step inside my cottage door
An' meet the million dollar baby
From a five an' ten cent store!

Far from all the fuss that bothers us
We'll hide-away, we two!
In our hide-away ( in our hide-away . . . )
We'll be all alone, no telephone to worry me or you!
We will have a ball,
Busy doin' nothing at all!
In our hide-away ( in our hide-away . . . )
We will lock the door an' throw away the key
What a holiday, our hide-away will be!

99. _ Me And You And A Dog Named Boo
I remember to this day,
The bright red georgia clay,
How it stuck to the tires after the summer rain . . .
Will-power made that ol' car go,
A woman's mind told me that it's so,
Oh! how i wish we were back on the road again . . .
Me an' you an' a dog named boo,
Travelin' and livin' off the land . . .
Me an' you an' a dog named boo,
How i loved bein' a free man . . .
I can still recall,
The wheat fields of st. paul,
And the mornin' we got caught robbin' from an old hen . . .
Old macdonald, he made us work,
But then he paid us for what it was worth,
Another tank of gas an' back on the road again . . .
< repeat chorus >
Well, i'll never forget that day,
We motored stately into big l.a.
The lights of the city put settling-down in my brain . . .
Though it's only a month or so,
That ol' car is a buggin' us to go,
You gotta get away,
Get back on the road again . . .

Where there's love, poets have said,
Two can live as one!
That's an old-fashioned idea,
But it's bein' done!
If she must have gold, let it be in her hair,
Rubes, let 'em be in her lips,
Diamonds, let 'em shine in her eyes!
Just an old-fashioned romance,
With the moon above,
A romance, one that will end,
Marryin' for love
That's the kind of love

104. _ ( The ) Story Of The First Christmas (1959 Version )
This is perry como . . .
And i'd like to tell you the most wonderful, the most beautiful,
The most exciting story in the whole world,
The story of the first christmas!
Now suppose you make believe this is many, many years ago,
A long time before you were born!
You're standing on a hillside, near a little town in palestine,
Do you see the man in the distance, walking slowly, leading a donkey?
His name is joseph!
Someone is sitting on the back of the donkey,
And her name is mary!
They've come a long, long way,
And they're heading for a little town near the hillside,
On which we're standing!
Something very special will happen in this little town tonight!
For this is the little town of bethlehem!
Oh little town of bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie,
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,
The silent stars go by!
Yet in thy dark streets shineth,
The everlasting light!
The hopes and fears of all the years,
Are met in thee tonight!
Let's follow joseph and mary into the town of bethlehem,
It's getting dark and all of the rooms at the inn are taken,
But the kindly innkeeper tells them
They could spend the night at a stable nearby!
Now i told you something was gonna happen, and it did!
A baby boy is born to mary and joseph,
Whom they call jesus!
They have no baby's crib, so mary puts little jesus to sleep,
In the soft sweet hay of a manger!
Come, come, come to the manger,
Children sing and asleep on the hay,
Sing, sing, chorus of angels,
Little lord jesus is born on this day!
Jesus is asleep in the manger,
So let's tiptoe out to the hillside near bethlehem,
Where the shepherds are tending their flock.
All at once the shepherds are frightened,
You'd be frightened too,
Because a great light suddenly shines in the sky!
Even the animals are hushed and still,
But then you hear the voice of an angel of the lord!
And you're no longer frightened,
For the angel brings good news,
News of a saviour born this day,
News of christ the lord!
The first noel! the angels did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds,
In fields as they lay, in fields where they,
Lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night, that was so deep!
Noel, noel, noel, noel!
Born is the king of israel!
Well, we're still with the shepherds,
On the hillside near bethlehem.
We hear the shepherds ask the angel,
Where to find the christ-child?
And the angel tells them to go to the manger.
And as they leave the sky is filled with other angels singing,
Glory to god! and on earth peace, goodwill, to men!
The shepherds hurry to the manger,
Fall on their knees before the baby,
And they worship him!
For he is christ the lord!
Oh! come all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant!
Oh come ye, oh come ye, to bethlehem!
Come and behold him,
Born the king of angels,
Oh! come let us adore him,
Oh! come let us adore him,
Oh! come let us adore him,
Christ the lord!
And now, look up into the sky!
Do you see that bright star twinkling in the heavens?
Far away, three men are looking at that star just as we are!
They're riding on camels,
And they're using the star as a guide to lead them to the christ-child.
Who are these three men who follow the star?
We three kings of orient are,
Bearing gifts, we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star!
Yes, the three men on the camels are the three wise men,
The new star guides them straight to bethlehem,
To a little baby lying in a manger!
There the three wise men present gifts to the christ-child,
The first christmas gifts ever given to anyone,
A gift of gold, of frankincense, and of mir!
And they too fall on their knees to worship him,
And now, a great peace settles on the night,
For it is the holy night!
Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright,

106. _ Is He The Only Man In The World
Is he the only man in the world,
That you will always love and adore,
Look just as good to you in the morning,
As he did the night before?
Out of a hundred million or two,
Is he the only one for you?
If he's the only man in the world,
Come rain or shine,
Then he's a man like mine!
< instrumental break >
Out of a hundred million or two,
Is he the only one for you?
If he's the only man in the world,
Come rain or shine ( come rain or shine )
Then he's a man like mine!
