It Doesn't Have To Be That Way - Jim Croce

Snowy lights and Christmas lights,
Icy window panes,
Make me wish that we could be
Together again.
And the windy winter avenues
Just don't seem the same,
And the Christmas carols sound like blues
But ther choir is not to blame.

But it doesn't have to be that way,
What we had should never have ended.
And I'll be dropping by today,
'Cause we could easily get it together tonight,
It's only right.

Crowded stores, the corner Santa Claus,
Tinseled afternoons,
And the sidewalk bands who play their songs
Slightly out of tune.
On the windy winter avenues,
There walks a lonely man.
And if I told you who he is,
Well, I think you'd understand.

But it doesn't have to be that way,
What we had should never have ended.
And I'll be dropping by today,
'Cause we could easily get it together tonight,
It's only right.

No, it doesn't have to be that way,
What we had should never have ended.
And I'll be dropping by today,
'Cause we could easily get it together tonight,
It's only right.

Oh By Gosh, By Golly - Frank Sinatra

Oh by gosh, by golly,
It's time for mistletoe and holly.
Tasty pheasants, Christmas presents,
Countrysides covered with snow.

Oh by gosh, by jingle,
It's time for carols and Kris Kringle.
Overeating, merry greetings
From relatives you don't know.

Then comes that big knife
Giving the tree the trim,
You'll hear voices by starlight
Singing a Yuletide hymn.

Oh by gosh, by golly,
It's time for mistletoe and holly.
Fancy ties, Granny's pies,
And folks stealing a kiss or two,
As they whisper "Merry Christmas" to you.

YES! i love these.

I heard there is no Christmas in the silly Middle East
No trees, no snow, no Santa Clause; they have different religious beliefs
They believe in Muhammad, and not in our holiday
And so, every December I go to the Middle East and say

Hey there, Mr. Muslim, Merry ****in' Christmas!
Put down that book the Koran, and hear some holiday wishes
In case you haven't noticed, it's Jesus's birthday
So get off your heathen Muslim ass and ****in' celebrate

There is no holiday season in India, I've heard
They don't hang up their stockings, and that is just absurd
They've never read a Christmas story, they don't know what Rudolph is about
And that is why in December I'll go to India and shout

Hey there, Mr. Hinduist, Merry ****in' Christmas
Drink eggnog and eat some beef, and pass it to the Missus
In case you haven't noticed, it's Jesus's birthday
So get off your heathen Hindu ass and ****in' celebrate

Now, I heard that in Japan everyone just lives in sin
They pray to several gods and put needles in their skin
On December 25th all they do is eat a cake
And that is why I go to Japan and walk around and say

Hey there, Mr. Shintoist, Merry ****in' Christmas
God is gonna kick your ass, you infidelic pagan scum
In case you haven't noticed, there's festive things to do
So let's all rejoice for Jesus, and Merry ****in' Christmas to you

On Christmas Day, I travel around the world and say
"Taoists, Krishnas, Buddhists, and all you atheists, too!
Merry ****in' Christmas to you."

OHHH I love this song too, it's about king harod and his desire to mass murder all the babies in the world, which is the reason that it's awesome that we sang it for one of the christmas concerts in choirrrrr. <3 it's a really good song too

Lully, lullay
Thou little tiny child
Bye bye, lully lullay

O sisters too, how may we do
For to preserve this day
This poor youngling for whom we do sing
Bye bye lully lullay

Herod the king and his raging
Charged he hath his day
His men of might in his own sight
Bye bye lully lullay

That woe is me, poor child for thee
And every morn' and day
For thy parting, neither say nor sing
Bye bye lully lullay

Lully, lullay
Thou little tiny child
Bye bye lully lullay
Bye bye lully lullay

Er, uh, this ain't exactly what I had in mind.
