words for community sing-along

1. Jingle Bells

   Dashing through 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.

   CHORUS:
   Jingle bells, jingle bells
   Jingle all the way,
   Oh what fun it is to ride
   In a one-horse open sleigh, O
   Jingle bells, jingle bells
   Jingle all the way,
   Oh what fun it is to ride
   In a one-horse open sleigh.

x 2 (repeat verse, repeat chorus)

3. Rudolph 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 glows
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
Santa came to say
"Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history!"

x 2 (repeat)

4. White Christmas (Song by Bing Crosby)

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

x 2 (repeat)

5. Merry Christmas Everyone (Shakin’ Stevens)

Snow is falling all around me
Children playing, having fun
It's the season, love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone

Time for parties and celebration
People dancing all night long
Time for presents and exchanging kisses
Time for singing Christmas songs

We're gonna have a party tonight
I'm gonna find that girl
Underneath the mistletoe
We'll kiss by candlelight

Room is swaying, records playing
All the old songs we love to hear
All I wish that every day was Christmas
What a nice way to spend the year

INSTRUMENTAL

We're gonna have a party tonight
I'm gonna find that girl
Underneath the mistletoe
We'll kiss by candlelight

Snow is falling all around me
Children playing, having fun
It's the season, love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone

Merry Christmas everyone

Merry Christmas everyone

FADE…..
