Mr. Grinch
We wish you a merry Christmas
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
When we finally kiss goodnight
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack frost nipping at your nose
Yultide carols being sung by a choir
With a corn cob pipe and a button nose
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer
...had a very shiny nose
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Joy to the world!
Oh, Holy night
Silent night, Holy night
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
We three kings of orient are
bearing gifts we traverse afar
Westward leading still proceeding
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
You better be good for goodness sake
You better watch out, you better not cry
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
What fun it is to ride and sing
O come all ye faithful
Oh Chrismas tree, oh Christmas tree
O little town of Bethlehem
Soon it will be Christmas day
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Go tell it on the mountain
Candles burnin' low. Lots of mistletoe.
Let them know it's Christmas time
Oh the weather outside is frightful
The lights are turned way down low
