WE WISH YOU A
MERRY CHRISTMAS
CHORUS:
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year.
Let’s all do a little tapping,
Let’s all do a little tapping,
Let’s all do a little tapping
And spread Christmas cheer.
CHORUS
Let’s all do a little sawing,
Let’s all do a little sawing,
Let’s all do a little sawing
And spread Christmas cheer.
CHORUS
Let’s all do a little clapping,
Let’s all do a little clapping,
Let’s all do a little clapping
And spread Christmas cheer.
CHORUS
TAPPING *
CHORUS:
Tapping, tapping, little elf,
As you work upon your shelf,
Working hard to make some toys,
All for little girls and boys,
Tapping, tapping, little elf,
As you work upon your shelf.
Gusty, Poofer, Dimpie, Snooter,
Munchie, Thooner… that’s us!
REPEAT TWICE
CHORUS
GUSTY THE ELF I *
Gusty the Elf was Santa’s helper,
Gusty the Elf just loved to try,
But, when he worked for
dear old Santa,
Gusty the Elf could only cry,
“Oh!” when he stubbed his toe,
“Umm,” when he hammered
his thumb,
“Gee!” when he banged his knee,
“Oh boy!” when he broke a toy,
Gusty the Elf was so
discouraged…
O CHRISTMAS TREE
O Christmas tree,
O Christmas tree,
How evergreen your branches!
O Christmas tree,
O Christmas tree,
How evergreen your branches!
They’re green when summer
days are bright,
They’re green when winter
snow is white,
O Christmas tree,
O Christmas tree,
How evergreen your branches!
REPEAT
TWO LITTLE
CHRISTMAS TREES †
Two little Christmas trees
standing all alone,
Their hearts were very sad
‘cause
they hadn’t found a home.
Then “CHOP” went the ax, and
down fell a tree,
And off it went with a happy
family.
One little Christmas tree
standing all alone,
His heart was very sad ‘cause
he hadn’t found a home.
Then “CHOP” went the ax, and
down fell a tree,
And off it went with a happy
family.
No little Christmas trees
standing all alone,
Their hearts were very happy
cause they all had
found a home.
MOTHER’S KNIVES
AND FORKS
These are Mother’s knives
and forks,
This is Mother’s table,
This is Mother’s looking glass,
And this is baby’s cradle.
HERE WE COME
A-CAROLING
Here we come a-caroling
Among the leaves so green;
Here we come a wand’ring,
So fair to be seen.
CHORUS:
Love and joy come to you,
And to you glad Christmas, too,
And God bless you and send you
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy
New Year.
We are not daily beggars
That beg from door to door,
But we are neighbors’ children
Whom you have seen before.
CHORUS
God bless the master of this
house,
Likewise the mistress, too,
And all the little children
That round the table go.
CHORUS
And all your kin and kinsfolk
That dwell both far and near,
I wish you Merry Christmas
And Happy New Year.
CHORUS
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.
See the blazing yule before us,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Strike the harp and join
the chorus,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la la la la la la la,
While I tell of Yuletide treasure,
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.
