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, 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
The sun is shining, the grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway
There's never been such a day in whole L.A.
But it's December the twenty-fourth
And I am longing to be up north
So I can have my very own white Christmas
Oh yeah
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, be white

The Ronettes - Frosty the Snowman
Frosty the snowman a
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
Oh, 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
(Frosty the snowman)
(Frosty the snowman)
He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when
He heard them holler "Stop!"
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"
Oh, oh, oh oh, man
Oh, oh oh (Frosty the snowman)
Oh, (Frosty the snowman), oh oh (Frosty the snowman), oh yeah
(Frosty the snowman) don't cry, oh oh (Frosty the snowman), oh yeah
(Frosty the snowman) oh yeah, don't you cry
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
Oh, 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
(Frosty the snowman)
(Frosty the snowman)
He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when
He heard them holler "Stop!"
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"
Oh, oh, oh oh, man
Oh, oh oh (Frosty the snowman)
Oh, (Frosty the snowman), oh oh (Frosty the snowman), oh yeah
(Frosty the snowman) don't cry, oh oh (Frosty the snowman), oh yeah
(Frosty the snowman) oh yeah, don't you cry

The Crystals - Santa Claus Is Coming to Town
Jimmy, I just came back from a lovely trip along the Milky Way
Stopped off at the North Pole to spend a holiday
I called on dear old Santa Claus
To see what I could see
He took me to his workshop
And told his plans to me,
Now Santa is a busy man
He has no time to play
He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas day
You better write your letter now
And mail it right away
Because he's getting ready his reindeers and his sleigh
You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's making a list and checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He sees you when you're sleepin'
He knows when you're a wake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Oh! You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Then kids in girl and boy land will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas tree
So! You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Stopped off at the North Pole to spend a holiday
I called on dear old Santa Claus

The Ronettes - Sleigh Ride
Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing
Ring ting tingle-ing too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "Yoo Hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap
let's go
Let's look at the snow
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with the song
Of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together like two
Birds of a feather would be
Let's take the road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop
Pop! Pop! Pop!
There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives
Ring ting tingle-ing too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "Yoo Hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap
let's go
Let's look at the snow
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with the song
Of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we

Darlene Love - Marshmallow World
It's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's a time for play, it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it all year round
Those marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red like a pumpkin's head
It's shining so your nose won't freeze
The world is your snowball, see how it grows
That's how it goes, whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out and roll it along
It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date, what if spring is late
In winter, it's a marshmallow world
The world is your snowball, see how it grows
That's how it goes, whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out and roll it along
It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date, what if spring is late
In winter, it's a marshmallow world
In winter, it's a marshmallow world
In winter, it's a marshmallow world
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's a time for play, it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it all year round
Those marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red like a pumpkin's head
It's shining so your nose won't freeze
The world is your snowball, see how it grows
That's how it goes, whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out and roll it along
It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date, what if spring is late
In winter, it's a marshmallow world

The Ronettes - I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
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
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
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night
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
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

Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen

The Crystals - 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
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
You'll go down in history
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
Then one foggy Christmas Eve

As they shouted out with glee

You'll go down in history

Darlene Love - Winter Wonderland
Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is the new bird
He's singing our song, as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Carson Brown
He'll say "Are you married?", We'll say "No man,
But you can do the job when you're in town."
Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mr.Snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down
When it snows, ain't it thrillin'
Though you know, kids are chillin'
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland (wo oh oh)
Walking in a winter wonderland (wo oh oh)
Walking in a winter wonderland (wo oh oh)
Walking in a winter wonderland (wo oh oh)
Walking in a winter wonderland (wo oh oh)
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is the new bird
He's singing our song, as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Carson Brown
He'll say "Are you married?", We'll say "No man,
But you can do the job when you're in town."

The Crystals - Parade of the Wooden Soldiers
The toy shop door is locked up tight
And everything is quiet for the night
When suddenly the clock strikes twelve, the fun's begun
The dolls are in their best arrayed
There's going to be a wonderful parade
Hark to the drum, "oh here they come" cries everyone
Hear them all cheering, now they are nearing
There's the captain stiff as starch
Bayonets flashing, music is crashing
As the wooden soldiers march
Sabers a-clinking, soldiers a-winking at each pretty little maid
Here they come, here they come
Here they come, here they come
Wooden soldiers on parade
The toy shop door is locked up tight
And everything is quiet for the night
When suddenly the clock strikes twelve, the fun's begun
The dolls are in their best arrayed
There's going to be a wonderful parade
Hark to the drum, oh here they come cries everyone
Hear them all cheering, now they are nearing
There's the captain stiff as starch
Bayonets flashing, music is crashing
As the wooden soldiers march
Hear them all cheering, now they are nearing
There's the captain stiff as starch
Bayonets flashing, music is crashing
As the wooden soldiers march
Hear them all cheering, now they are nearing
There's the captain stiff as starch
And everything is quiet for the night
When suddenly the clock strikes twelve, the fun's begun
The dolls are in their best arrayed
There's going to be a wonderful parade

Darlene Love - Christmas Baby Please Come Home
The snow's coming down
I'm watching it fall
Lots of people around
Baby please come home
The church bells in town
All singing in song
Full of happy sounds
Baby please come home
They're singing "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
'Cause I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year
Pretty lights on the tree
I'm watching them shine
You should be here with me
Baby please come home
They're singing "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
'Cause I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year
If there was a way
I'd hold back this tear
But it's Christmas day
Please
Please
Please
Please
Baby please come home
I'm watching it fall
Lots of people around
Baby please come home
The church bells in town
All singing in song
Full of happy sounds
Baby please come home
They're singing "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
'Cause I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year
Pretty lights on the tree
I'm watching them shine
You should be here with me
Baby please come home
They're singing "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
'Cause I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

Bob B Soxx - Here Comes Santa Claus
[ Featuring The Blue Jeans ]
Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus Lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Are pulling on the rein
Bells are ringing, children singing
All is merry and bright
Hang up your stockings and say your prayers
'Cause Santa Claus is coming tonight (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 your bed, cover up your head
'Cause Santa Claus is coming tonight (Santa Claus comes tonight)
Here comes Santa Claus!
Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
He doesn't care if you're rich or poor
He loves you just the same
Santa knows that you're God's children
That makes everything right
Fill your hearts with Christmas cheer
'Cause Santa is coming tonight (Santa Claus comes tonight)

Phil Spector - Silent Night
Hello, this is Phil Spector, it is so difficult at this time
To say words that would express my feelings
About the album to which you have just listened
An album that has been in the planning for many, many months
First, let me thank all the people who worked so hard with me
In the production of this album and in my endeavor and desire
To bring something new and different to the music of Christmas
And to the recording industry which is so much a part of my life
Of course, the biggest thanks goes to you
For giving me the opportunity to relate my feelings
Of Christmas through the music that I love
At this moment, I am very proud of all the artists
And on behalf of all of them, The Crystals, The Ronettes
Darlene Love, Bobby Soxx and the Blue Jeans, and myself
May we wish you the very merriest of Christmases
And the happiest of New Years, and thank you so very much
For letting us spend this Christmas with you
(Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace)
