Choir Lyrics – Fall/Winter 2015
Carol of the Elves
You can hear the sound of hammers tap tap tapping night and day
We’re the elves in Santa’s workshop making toys for Christmas day.
Our voices strong Sing out a joyful song
A song to make our work a snap Tap-a-tap-a-tap
Jingle JingleJingle all the way hey heyhey
Oh what fun to load up Santa’s sleigh
Our voices strong Sing out a joyful song
Jingle JingleJingle all the way
(Jingle jingle tap-a-tap-a Jingle jingle tap-a-tap-a
Jing jingle tap tap-a Jing jingle tap tap-a
JingJingJing Tap TapTapJingJingJing Tap TapTap
Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Jingle all the way! HEY!)
Part One: Part Two:
You can hear the sound of hammers Jingle Jingle
taptap tapping night and dayJingle all the way hey heyhey
We’re the elves in Santa’s workshop Oh what fun to load up Santa’s Sleigh
making toys for Christmas day.
Our voices strong sing out a joyful song Our voices strong sing out a joyful song
A song to make our work a snap Jingle Jingle
Tap-a-tap-a-tapJingle all the way
When Santa’s empty sleigh And when the sleigh
Returns on Christmas dayReturns on Christmas Day
We’ll cozy down and hit the hay
Then once again we’ll tap and tap and jingle all the way HEY!
Angels in the Snow
I’ve waited so long for a snowfall (snowfall)
Each morning there’s a frosty sheen (frosty sheen)
But as each day goes by, there’s nothing but blue sky
And still no snow to be seen
Oh yes it’s a little bit chilly (chilly)
The wind really knows how to blow (wind will blow)
But the one thing I’ve waited all season to do
Requires at least a bit of snow
I dream of making
Angels in the snow (Angels in the snow)
Angels in the snow (Angels in the snow)
First I lie down on the frozen ground
And feel the snow below (feel the snow below)
I dream of making angels (angels) in the snow
Yes I know that every single snowflake (snowflake)
Is perfect and white and rare (white and rare)
With its very own design so delicate and fine
There’s nothing on earth that can compare
Angels in the snow (Angels in the snow)
Angels in the snow (Angels in the snow)
First I lie down on the frozen ground
And feel the snow below (feel the snow below)
I dream of making angels (angels) in the snow (angels in the snow)
In the snow (angels in the snow)
Angels in the snow

There's a saying we have up north
That helps us put our best foot forth
if you want to deck the halls for Mr. C
Make sure they're Sparklejollytwinklejingley
When a room is gloomy and it's atmosphere has called it quits
Then you must remember that December is the time for glitz
Never stop until' each limb on your Christmas tree
is Sparklejollytwinklejingley
Pick up ev'ry ornament that’s sitting waiting on a shelf
While your busy decorating why not decorate yourself
Soon you'll bring a smile to ev'ry person you see
*spoken* I'm sparkleytwinklejolly what??
*spoken* close enough!
And if at loss remember the phrase
That says to thine own elf be true
*spoken* To thine elf be true
For when it comes to Christmas displays
Look inside and you'll know what to do
*spoken* you'll know just what to do
Put some cheery folderol on ev'ry wall and ev'ry nook
Tinsel up each corner til' it's Christmas ev'ry where you look
Give the world a holiday that's bright as can be
Make it Sparklejollytwinklejingley
Put some cheery folderol on ev'ry wall and ev'ry nook
Tinsel up each corner til' it's Christmas ev'ry where you look
Give the world a holiday that\'s bright as can be
Make it Sparklejollytwinklejingle
