Secret handshakes and really cool grooves But now it’s December, it must be time For me and my friends to make a new Christmas Rhyme I’m tired of jingle bells even if it rocks And Santa is comin ’ to town way too much So this year for Christmas I’ll write a new song For you and me and everyone to sing all day long I know Santa has his eye on me And every night I see him in my dreams I’ll give him a present, a brand new tune And he’ll give me toys enough to fill up my room I’m tired of jingle bells even if it rocks And Santa is comin ’ to town way too much So this year for Christmas I’ll write

wanted to be Santa Cookies and milk in an endless supply I thought I wanted to be Santa I'd fly through the sky and I'd never die But I'd have to be fat Have to work on Christmas Eve And then there's the Grinch And all the people who don't believe all the people who don't believe So forget it, I just give all these presents away I regret it, I work all year with no pay And the parents take the credit So forget it I thought I wanted to be Santa Make kids smile and behave themselves I thought I wanted to be Santa Be famous with reindeer and pointy eared elves But all the copy cats Red suits in the mall And the snow and the cold And the chimneys are way too small the chimneys are way too small So forget it, I just give all these presents away I regret it, I work all year with no pay And the parents take the credit So forget it So forget it © Kid Pan Alley By Paul Reisler w/ Will Hopkins and students at Rappahannock Elementary Some folks say those kids were dirty as a lump of coal Put donuts on a plate, and they'll steal all the holes Some folks say they're nothing but a bunch of pyros But I don't think so, they really have hearts of gold All you've gotta do is believe They might steal your heart but they're not thieves You can't judge a book by looking at the cover You've gotta have faith and love one another That's the magic of Christmas Eve All you've gotta do is believe That's the magic of Christmas Eve All you've gotta do is believe Maybe their parents didn't pay enough attention to them They fought all they time ' cause they didn't have any friends they never got presents cause their parents had no money to spend they didn't even know about the boy born in Bethlehem All you've gotta do is believe They might steal your heart but they're not thieves You can't judge a book by looking at the cover You've gotta have faith and love one another That's the magic of Christmas Eve All you've gotta do is believe That's the magic of Christmas Eve All you've gotta do is believe Then it finally came to the night of the Christmas play No one thought they'd be any good up on that stage They taught all of us the meaning of Christmas day When it was over, everyone was so amazed All you've gotta do is believe They might steal your heart but they're not thieves You can't judge a book by looking at the cover You've gotta have faith and love one another That's the magic of Christmas Eve All you've gotta do is believe That's the magic of Christmas Eve All you've gotta do is believe Back When I Was Young By Paul Reisler with Terri Allard & Ms. Grogan’s 5th grade , Brownsville ES Back when I was young At Christmas time they put our presents in our shoes That’s how we knew whose were whose Our feet were small but our shoes were huge Back when I was young It snowed a lot way back then We had to chop the wood and haul it in We’d bundle up tight, have a snowball fight Sled down the hill, take a nasty spill Go home and read by the firelight Back when I was young At Christmas time they put our presents in our shoes That’s how we knew whose were whose Our feet were small but our shoes were huge Back when I was young We jumped the rope and played hopscotch There was no T.V. for us to watch We wrote songs and sang along Passed the time, making up our rhymes We were taught right from wrong We stood on the shoulders Of those who were older They wanted things better for us They worked harder So we could go farther We had to fill their shoes That’s what we had to do Back when I was young At Christmas time they put our presents in our shoes That’s how we knew whose were whose Our feet were small but our shoes were huge Back when I was young Back when I was young Back when I was young Angel on Top Deep in Thought by Paul Reisler and family and friends at Abelsmith’s Christmas Party Fir and cedar, cinnamon and ginger Smoke from the train underneath the tree That’s what I remember from back in Virginia Those Christmases that meant so much to me But here in Australia it’s coconut sunblock And smokin ’ fish on the Barbie It’s dry and it’s hot, but snowing it’s not Cause it’s summer where the kookaburra sings at the party There’s an angel on top deep in thought Dreaming about Christmases at Grandpa’s Farm An angel on top lost in thought Dreaming about Christmases a long time ago Fox and hound dogs, horses and hunting Hitching up the team, hauling in the tree That what I remember from back in Virginia Those Christmases that meant so much to me But here in Australia it kangaroos and koalas Swimming in the river with Charlie It’s dry and it’s hot, and snowing it’s not Cause it’s summer where the kookaburra sings at the party Chorus One Winter Paul Reisler with Paddy Dougherty and Ms. Ragan’s 5 th grade, Thompson Elementary We invited a snowman to Christmas dinner He had nowhere else to go He sat at the head of the table But he wasn’t able to stay around too long When we served the soup, he started to droop We fed him ham, a really bad plan We knew we were in trouble when we saw that really big puddle He left under his chair What would it be like to only have one winter to live Would you do the things that scare you, would you dare to Go to the beach and lie in the sun, If you were made of snow would that be any fun Would skating on thin ice be such bad advice If you only had one winter to live If you only had one winter to live We invited a snowman to Christmas dinner We wanted to know what’s it like He had something important to say About living everyday, as if it was your last We asked him questions, he made suggestions Stay in school, don’t be a fool Open up your mind and don’t waste any time And then he said goodbye What would it be like to only have one winter to live Would you do the things that scare you, would you dare to Go to the beach and lie in the sun, If you were made of snow would that be any fun Would skating on thin ice be such bad advice If you only had one winter to live If you only had one winter to live We invited a snowman to Christmas dinner we wanted to know what it’s like We Forgot About Christmas Paul Reisler with Paddy Dougherty & Ms. Edward’s 2nd grade, MM Pierce Elementary We forgot about Christmas And I can’t remember why Maybe the lights weren’t turned on No stars out in the sky We forgot to light the candles Never sang Silent Night We forgot about Christmas It was a big surprise Last year the only thing we got Was a lump of coal in our Christmas stocking We didn’t even have a tree, I know that’s hard to believe Isn’t that shocking No turkey on the table, no TV or no cable No wonder we forgot about Christmas It was a real hard time We forgot about Christmas And I can’t remember why Maybe the lights weren’t turned on No stars out in the sky We forgot to light the candles Never sang Silent Night We forgot about Christmas It was a big surprise Last year, we didn’t sing Christmas carols Everyone we knew had a bad case of the flu They all had laryngitis, the elves were out to spite us Even Rudolph’s nose turned blue Silent Night was noisy, we were stuck in New Jersey No wonder we forgot about Christmas It was a real hard time We forgot about Christmas There’s Something About Christmas Paul Reisler with Paddy Dougherty & Ms. Smith’s 2nd grade, MM Pierce Elementary There’s something about Christmas that I don’t understand Jingle bells, reindeer and goodwill towards man It’s the time of year snowmen come to life When magic falls like snowflakes And stars are guiding lights There’s something about Christmas That I don’t understand What if there’s no chimney What would be Santa’s plan Would he walk through the door with all our presents in his sack Let’s not be naughty Or he’ll take them all back It’s always much better to give than to receive We’re always more blessed by what we believe Christmas is light, Christmas is love We’re all here together, and that’s just because… There’s something about Christmas That we all understand Family and friends And peace throughout the land It’s the time of year when we’re all at our best When magic falls like snowflakes And we’ve all been blessed When magic falls like snowflakes And we’ve all been blessed Christmas in July Lea Morris, Mary Alouette, and the kids of the SE Tennis Center Making angels on the ground Ride our boards to get around Follow the light

front of the TV watching Sponge Bob I told him I was only telling Santa ‘Cause bringing gifts to kids like me was his job So we got into the car And we drove down to the mall There he was talking to kids Both big & small I said: It’s my turn to sit up on your lap But I guess he was tired because he was taking a nap When I heard him snoring, I was more than quite concerned What I wanted for Christmas I was afraid he’d never learn Hey Santa, It’s my turn I made up a little list of things I wanted Like a 3-D video of Shrek or Spy Kids I was sure his eyes would soon be open But he was just too tired to lift those lids It’s my turn to sit up on your lap But I guess he was tired because he was taking a nap When I heard him snoring, I was more than quite concerned What I wanted for

Santa’s workshop in Christmas village Where all the toys are made His little helpers run around like crazy Making toys all day But when the Christmas bells jingle and it’s time to go They jump on their sleds and they fly through the snow There’s a place called Frosty’s Cavern Where elves go to play For a cup of peppermint chocolate At the end of their workday It’s made of gingerbread With strands of icy thread There’s a place called Frosty’s Cavern Where elves go to play Can’t tell from the outside how big it is It even snows in there An ice rink for hockey, The Mistletoe Arcade They sit on candy cane chairs In the corner there’s a jukebox that plays Christmas songs They put in santa coins and they all sing along There’s a place called Frosty’s Cavern Where elves go to play For a cup of peppermint chocolate At the end of their workday It’s made of gingerbread With strands of icy thread There’s a place called Frosty’s Cavern Where elves go to play There are lots of other places

Christmas makes our hearts grow It brings us together even though We live far apart And sometimes it’s hard But you’re still my family And I love you On Christmas I am thankful for The roof over my head and bed that’s warm And a room to call my own with my mom and dad Food on the table every night So Ill think with my heart when I saw my prayers Cause I love my life {8 BAR SOLO} And I love you! Christmas makes our hearts grow It brings us together even though We live far apart And sometimes its hard But you’re still my family And I love you But you’re still my family And I love you Do you really want to delete this item?
