All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth reset

This song I'm dedicating to my Dad, who was also missing his two front teeth the Christmas this song was first released.

Everybody stops 
and stares at me. 
These two teeth are 
gone as you can see. 
I don't know just who 
to blame for this catastrophe! 
But my one wish on Christmas Eve 
is as plain as it can be! 

All I want for Christmas 
is my two front teeth, 
my two front teeth. 
See my two front teeth! 

Gee, if I could only 
have my two front teeth, 
then I could be with you. 
"Merry Christmas" 
It seems so long since I could say, 
"Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!" 

Gosh oh gee, how happy I'd be, 
if I could only whistle (thhhh) 

All I want for Christmas 
is my two front teeth, 
my two front teeth, 
See my two front teeth. 
Gee, if I could only 
have my two front teeth, 
then I could wish you 
"Merry Christmas!"

A Chipmunk Christmas reset

("All right you Chipmunks!
Ready to sing your song?"
"I'll say we are!" "Yeah!" "Let's sing it now!"
"Okay, Simon?" "Okay!"
"Okay, Theodore?" "Okay!"
"Okay, Alvin? Alvin? ALVIN!" "OKAY!!!")

Christmas, Christmas time is near
Time for toys and time for cheer
We've been good, but we can't last
Hurry Christmas, hurry fast
Want a plane that loops the loop
Me, I want a hula hoop
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late.

("Okay fellas get ready.
That was very good, Simon." "Naturally."
"Very good Theodore." "Ahhh." 
"Ah, Alvin, you were a little flat, watch
 it. Ah, Alvin. Alvin. ALVIN!" "OKAY.")

Want a plane that loops the loop
I still want a hula hoop
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late.
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late.

("Very good, boys."  
"Lets sing it again!
 Yeah, lets sing it again!" 
"No, That's enough, let's not over-do it"
"What do you mean over-do it? 
 We want to sing it again!" 
"Now wait a minute, boys" 
"Why can't we sing it again?"
[chipmunk chatter]
"Alvin, cut that out..
 Theodore, just a minute. 
 Simon will you cut that out? Boys...")

Frosty the Snowman reset

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,
with a corncob pipe and a button nose, 
and two eyes made out of coal.
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say.
He was made of snow but the children 
know how he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in that 
old silk hat they found.
For when they placed it on his head 
he began to dance around.

O, Frosty the snowman
was alive as he could be.
And the children say he could laugh 
and play just the same as you and me.

Refrain      

Frosty the snowman knew 
the sun was hot that day,
so he said
let's run and 
we'll have some fun 
now before I melt away.
Down to the village,
with a broomstick in his hand,
running here and there all 
round the square saying
"Catch me if you can!"
He led them down the streets of town 
right to the traffic cop
and he only paused a moment when 
He heard him holler "Stop!" 
For Frosty the snow man 
had to hurry on his way
but he waved goodbye saying
"Don't you cry,
I'll be back again some day!"

Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow

Here Comes Santa Claus reset
Gene Autry, Oakley Haldeman

Here comes Santa Claus!
Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
are pulling on the reins.
Bells are ringing, children singing;
All is merry and bright.
Hang your stockings and say your prayers,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Here comes Santa Claus!
Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
He's got a bag that is filled with toys
for the boys and girls again.
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,
What a beautiful sight.
Jump in bed, cover up your head,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus reset
T. Connor

Midi length: 110s (1:50)

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 tickle 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.

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas
Traditional United States, Lively

Jolly old Saint Nicholas,
(Lean/Lend) your ear this way! 
Don't you tell a single soul 
What I'm going to say;
Christmas Eve is coming soon; 
Now, (you/my) dear old man
Whisper what you'll bring to me;
Tell me, if you can.

When the clock is striking twelve,
(When/And) I'm fast asleep,
Down the chimney, broad and black
With your pack you'll creep;
All the stockings you will find
Hanging in a row;
Mine will be the shortest one
You'll be sure to know.

Bobby wants a pair of skates;
Suzy wants a sled;
Nellie wants a picture book,
Yellow, blue and red.
Now I think I'll leave to you
What to give the rest,
Choose for me, dear Santa Claus;
You will know the best.

(Bobby wants a pair of skates;
Suzy wants a sled;
Nellie wants a story book,
  One she hasn't read.
Now I think I'll leave to you
What to give the rest;
Choose for me, O Santa Claus
 What you think is best.)

(Johnny wants a pair of skates,
Suzy wants a dolly;
Nelly wants a story book,
She thinks dolls are folly;
As for me my little brain
Isn't very bright;
Choose for me old Santa Claus
What you think is right.)

Mr. Grinch Dr. Seuss

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
You really are a heel! 
You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as
charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch! 
You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel! 

You're a monster, Mr. Grinch. 
Your heart's an empty hole. 
Your brain is full of spiders, you have
garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch! 
I wouldn't touch you with a
thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole! 

You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch. 
You have termites in your smile, 
you have all the tender sweetness of a
Sea-sick crocodile, Mr. Grinch! 
Given a choice between the two of you
I'd take the sea-sick crocodile! 

You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch. 
You're the king of sinful sots, 
your heart's a dead tomato splotched
with moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch! 
You're a three decker sauerkraut and
toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce! 

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch, 
with a nauseous super "naus"! 
You're a crooked dirty jockey and you
drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch! 
Your soul is an appalling dump heap
overflowing with the most disgraceful 
assortment of rubbish imaginable
mangled up in tangled up knots! 

You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch. 
You're a nasty wasty skunk, 
your heart is full of unwashed socks,
your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch! 
The three words that best describe you
are as follows, and I quote, 
"Stink, stank, stunk"!

Ruldoph the Red-Nosed Reindeer reset
J. Marks; 1949 St. Nicholas Music

Midi length: 93s (1:33)

Hey Kids! 
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer
     and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen.
But do you recall,
the most famous reindeer of all?

Ruldoph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him
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 right,
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."

Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town
Coots, Gillespie

You'd better watch out!
You'd better not cry!
You'd better not pout! 
I'm telling you why,
Santa Claus is comin' to town.
Gather round!

He's making a list 
and checking it twice.
He's going to find out who's naughty
     and nice.
Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town.

Refrain

He sees when you are sleeping.
He knows when you're awake.
He knows if you've been bad or good.
So be good for goodness sake!

Refrain

With little tin horns and little toy
     drums,
rootie-toot-toots and rum-a-tum tums.
Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town.

Refrain

Curly head dolls that toddle and coo,
elephant folks and kiddie cars too.
Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town.

Refrain

The kids and girls in boyland
will have a jubilee.
They're going to build a toyland town, 
all around the Christmas tree.

Refrain
