Calypso Lullaby (Numbers 1 and 2) / Frosty Hand Jive (Numbers 5 - 9)On a clear and starry night,
On a hillside far away.
Shepherds saw a golden light,
And they heard the angels say:
“Alleluia shout for joy” sweet music fills the sky.
The heavens ring while angels sing a Christmas lullaby.
Sleep, sleep, sleep, little one, rest your head
Dream of peace on earth in your manger bed.
Angels filled the ev’ning sky and with joy began to sing
“Glory be to god on hight! Let the bells of heaven ring!”
“Alleluia shout for joy” sweet music fills the sky.
The heavens ring while angels sing a Christmas lullaby.
It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold.
“Alleluia shout for joy” sweet music fills the sky.
The heavens ring while angels sing a Christmas lullaby.
Sleep, sleep, sleep, little one, rest your head
Dream of peace on earth in your manger bed.
“Alleluia shout for joy” sweet music fills the sky.
The heavens ring while angels sing a Christmas lullaby.
A Christmas lullaby. / F, I said F-R, I said F-R-O,
I said F-R-O-S. I said F-R-O-S-T-Y!
Doin’ the Frosty hand jive.
Frosty the snowman he was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
and two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the snowman he is a fairytale they say
He was made of snow but the children know
That he came to life one day
There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found.
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around.
Man that Frosty sure is tough.
Watch that Frosty strut his stuff.
Frosty’s havin’ lots of fun.
But keep him out of the blazin’ sun.
Frosty the snowman he 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.
He only paused a moment when he heard him holler “stop!”
Frosty’s headin’ out of town.
Just too hot to stick around.
He’ll be back here by and by.
Cause Frosty is a real cool guy!
Thumpety Thumpety Thump Thump
Look at Frosty go, Frosty
Thumpety Thumpety Thump Thump
Over the hills of snow, Frosty
Frosty the snowman he had to hurry on his way
But he waived goodbye sayin’ “Don’t you cry,
I’ll be back again some day.”
F, I said F-R, I said F-R-O, I said F-R-O-S
I said F-R-O-S-T-Y! Doin’ the Frosty hand jive.
Doin’ the Frosty hand jive.
Doin’ the Frosty hand jive.
Doin’ the Frosty hand jive.
A-Caroling (Numbers 3 and 4)
A-caroling, a-caroling, a-caroling we go!
Spreading the joy that Christmas brings;
Decking the halls with holly boughs;
Hanging the mistle-toe!
Joy, joy, spreading the joy the Christmas season brings!
Joy, joy, spreading the joy ‘til every rafter rings
Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!
Peace, goodwill today!
Joy, joy, spreading the joy with songs along the way
Joy, joy, spreading the joy throughout the holidays!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Peace, goodwill today!
Merry Christmas!

But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer)
had a very shiny nose. (Light a light bulb)
And if you ever saw it, (saw it)
you would even say it glows. (like a flashlight)
All of the other reindeer (reindeer)
used to laugh and call him names. (like Pinocchio)
They never let poor Rudolph (Rudolph)
join in any reindeer games. (Like Monopoly)
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say: (Ho Ho Ho)
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then all the reindeer loved him (Loved Him)
as they shouted out with glee, (Yippee)
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, (reindeer)
you'll go down in history! (Repeat!)
