Cyndi Lauper Merry Christmashave A Nice Lif Lyrics
1.Home On Christmas Day

Lyrics:R.Hyman/C.Lauper/Wittman
Music:R.Hyman/C.Lauper/Wittman

Sitting in some hotel room
some place far away.
Saw a shop light screaming Christmas
Bought your present there today.

Pre-Chorus
I'll be home on Christmas Day
I am just a thought away
And every Christmas tree
Reminds me where i'd rather be.

The drunken Santa on the corner
Looks a little blue
But the twinkle in his eye dear
Looks a little like you

Chorus
I'll be home on Christmas Day
I am just a thought away
And every Christmas tree
Reminds me where i'd rather be.
Home on Christmas Day
I am just a thought away
But anywhere i'll be
You will always be Christmas to me.

Something about this season
Makes me feel a little queer
Everybody's so darn jolly
I wish you were here

Repeat Chorus


2.Early Christmas Morning

Lyrics:C.Lauper/J.Pulsford
Music:C.Lauper/J.Pulsford

Listen to the children sing
Watch them dancing allround the christmas tree
Waiting for the opening
Early Christmas Morning

All around the world is sleeping
Little children theres no peeping
Wait and see what santa's bringing
Early Christmas morning
Early Christmas morning

Icicles and breakfast cakes
Friends and family we will celebrate
Sounds that joy and laughter make
Early Christmas morning

All around and far off places
Angels waken smiling faces
Wrapping us with love and graces
Early Christmas morning
Early Christmas morning


3.Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree

Lyrics:J.Marks
Music:J.Marks

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling

You will get a sentimental feeling
When you hear
Voices singing 'Let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly'

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way


4.Christmas Conga

Lyrics:C.Lauper/J.Pulsford
Music:C.Lauper/J.Pulsford

It's time to make the Christmas punch
Let's hang the streamers from the ceiling
Bring out the old cheer
Ring in the new year
And get that Christmas feeling

Chorus:
I wish you joy that never ends
Happy times with all your friends
Come on and hold my hips a little longer
As we do the Christmas Conga,
bonga, bonga, bonga, bonga
Do the Christmas Conga

The old white tree still looks good
And Grandma's angels got me thinking
String up the new lights,
Brighten the cold nights
And get those baubles blinking

Repeat Chorus:

And then we'll put on party hats
As the year comes to a conclusion
Turn on the yule log
Spike up the egg nog
And break those resolutions

Repeat Chorus:


5.Minnie And Santa

Lyrics:C.Lauper/J.Pulsford
Music:C.Lauper/J.Pulsford

I worked with a woman named Minnie
One Christmas Eve long ago
When i asked 'What you doing this Evening?'
Minnie took on a seasonal glow
She said she'd be waiting for santa
She'd be wearing a bright red bow

Chorus:
Minnie and Santa
Minnie and Santa
What they're up to only heaven knows
She wrote on a card
'Don't take it so hard
we're headed for the north pole'

Now Minnie could not be persuaded
That Santa just did not exist
She swore if she put up some mistletoe
Santa'd come give her a kiss
And there where she'd hung up her stockings
All in their silky, soft sheen
She'd be laying i wait on a bear shin rug
Where the cookies and milk could be seen

Repeat Chorus:
(Musical Interlude)

Mow Minnie was older and wiser
Like a dear old Auntie to me
But the night that she ran off with Santa
Was a real epiphany

Repeat Chorus:

Next Christmas i passed by the bakery
Starting out from on top of a cake
Was jolly old Santa with a big silly grin
And a gal in silk stockings and lace
Oh, Minnie and Santa


6.Feels Like Christmas

Written:Cyndi Lauper/Rob Hyman/Eric Bazilian

If you want to see me
Don't break down and cry
I can be your sweetie
If you be a friend of mine
And I won't be forsaken
If you think thoughts unkind
Just bring home the bacon
And bring it home on time

Hey Louie, can't you see
I couldn't leave you if I tried
Hey Louie, listen to me
We got a thing so dignified
It don't matter if we lived in a shack
Or in a shiny cadillac
It don't matter rich or poor
When love is knocking at your door

It feels like Christmas
Just like Christmas
It feels like Christmas with you...

Hey Louie, life is sweet
I can't be bitter
When you're here with me
Hey Louie, no regrets
Holding on to things
That you ought to forget
Well, it doesn't matter tit for tat
'Cause what you give
You get it back
It don't matter anymore
When love is knocking at your door

It feels like Christmas
Just like Christmas
It feels like Christmas with you,
Everytime I see ya
Everytime I hear ya
Everytime I'm near ya,
I'd be happy
Because it feels like Christmas
Just like Christmas
It feels like Christmas
With you...


7.Three Ships

Lyrics:C.Lauper/J.Pulsford
Music:C.Lauper/J.Pulsford

Chorus:
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, On Chrismas Day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, in the morning

And what was in those shipss all three
On Christmas Day, On Chrismas Day
A little boy and our lady
On Christmas Day, in the morning

Oh they sailed to Bethlehem
On Christmas Day, On Chrismas Day
Oh they sailed to Bethlehem
On Christmas Day, in the morning

Then let us all rejoice and sing
On Christmas Day, On Chrismas Day
And all the bells on earth shall ring
On Christmas Day, in the morning

Repeat Chorus:


8.New Year's Baby (First Lullaby)

Lyrics:Cyndi Lauper
Music:Cyndi Lauper

When i first saw you you look alien
Like someone in mid dance
Like a little old man
When you first held me in your tiny grip
You seemed just like Pop-Eye
With you cap and your squint

Chorus:
Shall we sail away with Blue birds and clear skies
No frowns today Just smiles that will brighten our way
And i'll take this old man by the hand
To begin again to begin again

When i first looked into eyes like mine
I wondered what i learn
To see through them in time
When you first smiled with your toothless grin
You broke my heart break open
All the flood gates rushed in

Chorus:


9.December Child

Lyrics:C.Lauper/J.Pulsford
Music:C.Lauper/J.Pulsford

Chorus:
Close your eyes December child
And dream my little son and moon
May the stars be your crown
And may the earth guide you round and round

Snuggle up and let me hold
Kiss your baby breathin the dark and cold
On a silent night long ago
Another mother held her baby and told him

Repeat Chorus:

They had come such a long long way
Rest your little head on me and i'll tell you of
A little king and his bed of hay
It is remembered every Christmas day

Little one, little son
All my life i've wished you welcome

Repeat Chorus:


10.In The Bleak Midwinter

Lyrics:G.Holst/C.Rossetti
Music:G.Holst/C.Rossetti

In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like stone
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago

Angels and arc-angels
May have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged in the air
But only his mother
In her maiden bliss
Worshiped the beloved
With a kiss

What can i give him
Poor as i am
If i was a sheperd
I would give a lamb
If i were a wise man
I would do my part
But what i can i give him
Give him my heart


11.Silent Night

Lyrics:Joseph Mohr/Franz Gruber
Music:Joseph Mohr/Franz Gruber

Silent night
Holy night
All is calm
All is bright
Round yon virgin
Mother and Child
Holy infant
So tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night
Holy night
Shepherds quake
At the sight
Glory streams
From heaven afar
Heavenly hosts
Sing alleluia
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born
