SONG LYRICS 

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN 

You better watch out 

You better not cry 

Better not pout 

I’m telling you why 

Santa Claus is coming to town 

He’s making a list 

And checking it twice; 

He’s gonna find out 

Who’s naughty or nice 


He sees you when you’re sleeping 

He knows when you’re awake 

He knows if you’ve been bad or good 

So be good for goodness sake! 

You better watch out! 


You better not pout 



He sees you when you’re sleeping 

He knows when you’re awake 

He knows if you’ve been bad or good 

So be good for goodness sake! 

You better watch out! 


You better not pout 



RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED 

REINDEER 

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and 

Vixen, 

You know 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 all the reindeer loved him, 

As they shouted out with glee, 

Rudolph the red-nose Reindeer 

You’ll go down in history 

THE REINDEER HOKEY POKEY 

You put your front hooves in 

You put your front hooves out 

You put your front hooves in and you shake 

them all about 

You do the hokey pokey and you turn around 

That’s what it’s all about 

Oh the hokey pokey 



That’s what it’s all about 

Back hooves 

Antlers 

Nose 

Tail

OH COME, ALL YE FAITHFUL 

O Come All Ye Faithful 

Joyful and triumphant, 

O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem. 

Come and behold Him, 

Born the King of Angels; 

O come, let us adore Him, 



Christ the Lord. 

O Sing, choirs of angels, 

Sing in exultation, 

Sing all that hear in heaven God’s holy word. 

Give to our Father glory in the Highest; 





All Hail! Lord, we greet Thee, 

Born this happy morning, 

O Jesus! for evermore be Thy name adored. 

Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing; 





AUSSIE JINGLE BELLS 

Dashing through the bush, 

in a rusty Holden Ute, 

Kicking up the dust, 

esky in the boot, 

Kelpie by my side, 

singing Christmas songs, 

It’s Summer time and I am in 

my singlet, shorts and thongs 

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, 

Christmas in Australia 

on a scorching summers day, Hey! 

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!, 

Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute. 

Engine’s getting hot; 

we dodge the kangaroos, 

The swaggie climbs aboard, 

he is welcome too. 

All the family’s there, 

sitting by the pool, 

Christmas Day the Aussie way, 

by the barbecue. 





Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute. 

Come the afternoon, 

Grandpa has a doze, 

The kids and Uncle Bruce, 

are swimming in their clothes . 

The time comes ‘round to go, 

we take the family snap, 

Pack the car and all shoot through, 

before the washing up. 





Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.

DECK THE HALLS 

Deck the halls with boughs of holly, 

Fa la la la la, la la la la. 

Tis the season to be jolly, 


Don we now our gay apparel, 

Fa la la, la la la, la la la. 

Troll the ancient Yule tide carol, 


See the blazing Yule before us, 


Strike the harp and join the chorus. 


Follow me in merry measure, 


While I tell of Yule tide treasure, 


Fast away the old year passes, 


Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, 


Sing we joyous, all together, 


Heedless of the wind and weather, 


WINTER WONDERLAND 

Sleigh bells ring 

Are you listening 

In the lane 

Snow is glistening 

A beautiful sight, 

We’re happy tonight 

Walking in a winter wonderland 

Gone away, is the blue bird 

Here to stay, is the new bird 

He sings a love song, 

As we go along 


In the meadow we can build a snowman 

And pretend that he is Parson Brown 

He’ll say are you married 

We’ll say No Man 

But you can do the job 

When you’re in town 

Later on 

We’ll conspire 

As we dream by the fire 

To face unafraid 

The plans that we’ve made 


Sleigh bells ringing 

Are you listening 

In the lane 

Snow is glistening 

A beautiful sight, 

We’re happy tonight 


Gone away, is the blue bird 

Here to stay, is the new bird 

He sings a love a song 

As we go along 


In the meadow we can build a snowman 

And pretend that he’s a circus clown 

We’ll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman 

Until the other kiddies knock them down 

When it snows 

ain’t it thrilling 

Though your nose, gets a chilling 

We’ll frolic and play, the Eskimo way 

Walking in a winter wonderland

AWAY IN A MANGER 

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, 

The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head. 

The stars in the bright sky looked down where 

He lay, 

The little lord Jesus asleep on the hay. 

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes 

But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes. 

I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the 

sky. 

And stay by my side till morning is nigh. 

Sweet bells they ring, they ring out the news 

today, 

That Christ was born, was born on Christmas 

day, 

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay 

Close by me for ever and love me, I pray. 

Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care 

And take us to Heaven to live with Thee there. 

HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING 

Hark the herald angels sing 

“Glory to the newborn King! 

Peace on earth and mercy mild 

God and sinners reconciled” 

Joyful, all ye nations rise 

Join the triumph of the skies 

With the angelic host proclaim: 

“Christ is born in Bethlehem” 

Hark! The herald angels sing 

“Glory to the newborn King!” 

Christ by highest heav’n adored 

Christ the everlasting Lord! 

Late in time behold Him come 

Offspring of a Virgin’s womb 

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see 

Hail the incarnate Deity 

Pleased as man with man to dwell 

Jesus, our Emmanuel 


“Glory to the newborn King!” 

Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace! 

Hail the Son of Righteousness! 

Light and life to all He brings 

Ris’n with healing in His wings 

Mild He lays His glory by 

Born that man no more may die 

Born to raise the sons of earth 

Born to give them second birth 


“Glory to the newborn King!”

THE FIRST NOEL 

The first Noel the angel 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. 

They looked up and saw a star 

Shining in the east beyond them far: 

And to the earth it gave great light 

And so it continued both day and night. 

Noel Noel Noel Noel 


And by the light of that same star 

Three wise men came from the country far; 

To seek for a King was their intent, 

And to follow the star wherever it went. 

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, 


This star drew nigh to the north-west; 

O’er Bethlehem it took it’s rest, 

And there it did both stop and stay, 

Right over the place where Jesus lay. 



Then entered in those wise men three, 

Fell reverently upon their knee, 

And offered there in his presence 

Their gold and myrrh and frankincense. 


Born is the king of Israel. 

Then let us all with one accord 

Sing praises to our heavenly Lord, 

That hath made heaven and earth of nought, 

And with his blood mankind has bought. 



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 “
