Lyrics for Christmas Songs

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus 
Underneath the mistletoe last night 
She didn't see me creep 
Down the stairs to have a peep 
She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep 


Then I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus 
Underneath his beard so snowy white 
Oh, what a laugh it would have been 
If Daddy had only seen 
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear
Edmund Hamilton Sears (1810-76)

It came upon the midnight clear, 
That glorious song of old, 
From angels bending near the earth 
To touch their harps of gold: 
"Peace on the earth, good will to men, 
From heaven's all-gracious King." 
The world in solemn stillness lay 
To hear the angels sing. 

Still through the cloven skies they come 
With peaceful wings unfurled, 
And still their heavenly music floats 
O'er all the weary world; 
Above its sad and lowly plains 
They bend on hovering wing, 
And ever o'er its Babel-sounds 
The blessed angels sing. 

Yet with the woes of sin and strife 
The world has suffered long; 
Beneath the heavenly strain have rolled 
Two thousand years of wrong; 
And man, at war with man, hears not 
The tidings which they bring; 
O hush the noise, ye men of strife, 
And hear the angels sing! 

O ye, beneath life's crushing load, 
Whose forms are bending low, 
Who toil along the climbing way 
With painful steps and slow, 
Look now! for glad and golden hours 
Come swiftly on the wing; 
O rest beside the weary road 
And hear the angels sing! 

For lo! the days are hastening on, 
By prophets seen of old, 
When with the ever-circling years 
Shall come the time foretold, 
When peace shall over all the earth 
Its ancient splendors fling, 
And the whole world give back the song 
Which now the angels sing.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look in the five-and-ten, 
Glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see
is the holly that will be
On your own front door

A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go 
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, 
One in the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring
Is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart

Jingle Bells
J. Pierpont


Dashing thru the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go, laughing all the way
Bells on bob-tail ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight. Oh

Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright, was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifted bank
And so we got upset

Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

Now the ground in white, go it while you're still young
Take the girls tonight, and sing this sleighing song
Just get a bob-tailed bay, two forty for his speed
Then hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack you'll take the lead

Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

Jingle Bell Rock

Jingle bell jingle bell jingle bell Rock
Jingle bell swing & jingle bell ring
Snowing & blowing up bushel of fun
Now the jingle hearts began

Jingle bell jingle bell jingle bell Rock
Jingle bell chime & jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in jingle bell square
In the frosty air

Wow! The bright tiem is in the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy up - jingle horse pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and mingle in a jingling beat
That's the jingle bell jingle bell jingle bell rock
