Six White Boomers

Right inside the bag of toys, little Joey hopped,

But they hadn't gone far when Santa stopped,

Unharnessed all the reindeer and Joey wondered why,

Then he heard a far off booming in the sky.

(boom-uh, boom-uh, boom-uh boom-uh, boom-ump, boom-ump, boom-ump, boom-ump)

CHORUS:

Six white boomers, snow white boomers,

Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun,

Six white boomers, snow white boomers,

On his Australian run.

When Joey said to Santa, "Santa, what about the toys,

Aren't you giving some to Aussie girls and boys?"

"Oh, they've all had their presents, sonny, we were here last night,

This trip is an extra trip, Joey's special flight."

Chorus

Well that the bestest Christmas treat that Joey ever had,

Curled up in Mother's pouch feeling snug and glad,

The last he saw was Santa heading northwards from the sun,

The only year the boomers worked a double run.

Eating all the candy canes 1,2,3.

Stop Kookaburra! Stop Kookaburra!

Go back to your old gum tree!

Kangaroo hops around the Christmas tree

Knocking off the ornaments 1,2,3.

Stop kangaroo! Stop kangaroo.

Go outside where you supposed to be.

Koala sitting in my Christmas tree.

Sitting just as quiet as he can be.

Stay Koala bear! Stay Koala Bear!

You're welcome in my Christmas tree.

Upon the city wall;

And if I’m a believer,

I am the least of all.

Christmas in Killarney

The holly green, the ivy green

The prettiest picture you've ever seen

Is Christmas in Killarney

With all of the folks at home

It's nice, you know, to kiss your beau

While cuddling under the mistletoe

And Santa Claus you know, of course

Is one of the boys from home

The door is always open

The neighbours pay a call

And Father John before he's gone

Will bless the house and all

How grand it feels to click your heels

And join in the fun of the jigs and reels

I'm handing you no blarney

The likes you've never known

Is Christmas in Killarney

With all the folks at home

Christmas in Killarney

The holly green, the ivy green

The prettiest picture you've ever seen

Is Christmas in Killarney

With all of the folks at home

It's nice, you know, to kiss your beau

While cuddling under the mistletoe

And Santa Claus you know, of course

Is one of the boys from home

The door is always open

And Father John before he's gone

Will bless the house and all

How grand it feels to click your heels

And join in the fun of the jigs and reels

While Shepherds Watched

While shepherds watched

Their flocks by night

All seated on the ground

The angel of the world came down

And glory shone around

"Fear not," he said,

For mighty dread

Had seized their troubled minds

"Glad tidings of great joy I bring

To you and all mankind

To you and all mankind."

"All glory be to

You on high

And to the earth be peace;

Goodwill henceforth

From heaven to men

Begin and never cease

Begin and never cease!"

Winter Wonderland

Sleigh bells ring, are you list’nin?

In the lane, snow is glist’nin,

A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight,

Walkin’ in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird,

Here to stay is a new bird,

He’s singing a song, as we go along,

Walkin’ in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,

Then pretend that he’s a circus clown;

We’ll have lots of fun with Mister Snowman,

Until the other kiddies known him down.

When it snows, ain’t it thrillin’,

Though your nose gets a chillin’?

We’ll frolic and play the old fashioned way,

Walkin’ in a winter wonderland.

Sleigh bells ring, are you list’nin?

In the lane, snow is glist’nin,

A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight,

Walkin’ in a winter wonderland!

We’ll frolic and play the old fashioned way,

Walkin’ in a winter wonderland.

We’ll frolic and play the old fashioned way,

Walkin’ in a winter wonderland.

We’ll frolic and play the old fashioned way,

Walkin’ in a winter wonderland.

With all our hearts we praise a holy name.

To rock the night away.

Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time

Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square

In the frosty air.

What a bright time, it's the right time

To rock the night away

Jingle bell time is a swell time

To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet

Jingle around the clock

Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet

That's the jingle bell,

That's the jingle bell rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock x4

The Huron Carol

‘Twas in the moon of wintertime,

When all the birds had fled,

That mighty Gitchi Manitou sent angel choirs instead.

Before their light the stars grew dim,

And wand’ring hunters heard the hymn.

Peace Maker is born,

Peace is born,

In excelsis gloria!

The earliest moon of winter time

Is not so round and fair

As was the ring of glory

On the helpless infant there.

The chiefs from far before Him knelt

With gifts of fox and beaver pelt.

Peace Maker is born,

Peace is born,

In excelsis gloria!
