Ruldoph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer,
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You would even say it glowed.
All of the other reindeer,
Used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph,
Join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Santa came to say:
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then all the reindeer loved him,
As they shouted out with glee:
"Rudoph the Red Nose Reindeer,
You'll go down in history!"
Santa Claus Is Coming to Town
You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
O! You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Deck the halls
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa la la la la la la la la
'Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la la la la la
Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la la la la la la la
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Fast away the old year passes,
Fa la la la la la la la la
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la la la la la
Sing we joyous all together,
Fa la la la la la la la la
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
