A Paul Brandt Christmas:Shall I Play For

Paul Brandt A Paul Brandt Christmas:Shall I Play For Lyrics
1.A Star Is Born

Christmas time again
The perfect end, to a not-so-perfect year
At last it's here
Hustle bustle to and fro
From store to store, to get one more
Of whatever is in style this year

On the marquee sign at 5 and 9
The latest movie shows, and it starts to snow
Children look into the sky
To see if reindeer really fly
Who knows
But when it comes down to this season
Above it all there's still a reason
To just look up

A star is born tonight
Come to make things right
Angels singing, anthems ringing
Glory to the King
A star is born tonight

Silent holy night, heaven's sacred light
Shines all around
And joy resounds
In manger hay the baby Jesus came to seek
And save the lost
Until they're found
Peace on earth a new beginning
He's the gift that keeps on giving
To all of us

A star is born tonight
(Choir) Glory hallelujah, glory to the King of Kings
Come to make things right
(Choir) Merry Christmas to you all the joy the season brings
Angels singing, anthems ringing
Glory to the King
A star is born tonight

Angels singing, anthems ringing
Glory to the King
A star is born tonight


2.Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh yeah

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh


3.O Holy Night

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night
When Christ was born
O night divine
O night
O night divine

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night
When Christ was born
O night divine
O night divine


4.Run Run Rudolph

Out of all the reindeers
You know you're the mastermind
Run run Rudolph
Randolph ain't too far behind

Run run Rudolph
Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry
Tell him he can take the freeway down
Run run Rudolph
'Cause I'm reelin' like a merry go round

Said Santa to a boy
Child what have you been longing for
All I want for Christmas is a
Rock and roll electric guitar
And then away went Rudolph
Whissin' like a shootin' star

Run run Rudolph
Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry
Tell him he can take the freeway down
Run run Rudolph
'Cause I'm reelin' like a merry go round round round

Said Santa to a girl
Child what would please you most to get
A little baby doll that can cry, sleep, drink and wet
And then away went Rudolph
Whissin' like a saber jet

Run run Rudolph
Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry
Tell him he can take the freeway down yeah
I said run run Rudolph
'Cause I'm reelin' like a merry go round
Come on run run Rudolph I'm reelin' like a merry go round


5.Santa Looked A Lot Like Daddy

Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was much too thin
Well he didn't come down the chimney
So Mama must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him

Well they thought that I was fast a sleepin'
They thought that I was tucked in bed
They never thought that I'd come a peepin'
Or that I'd hear what was said
Santa put his arm around Mama
And Mama put her arm around him
So if Santa Claus ain't Daddy
Them I'm gonna tell on them

Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was much too thin
Well he didn't come down the chimney
So Mama must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him

I never saw Dancer or Prancer
I never heard the sleigh bells ring
And I never saw the red nosed reindeer
Like they show him on the TV screen
But he sure brought a lot of presents
So Santa Claus he must have been
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him

Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was much too thin
Well he didn't come down the chimney
So Mama must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him


6.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


7.Six Tons Of Toys

At the old north pole
Got my rig all loaded with toys
Got a sack full of goodies
For good little girls and boys
Big dipper lookin' so bright
Milky way traffic is light
Got six tons of toys
For the girls and boys tonight

Got the same ol' sleigh
And good ol' reindeer power
Got no speed zones
Yeah we're makin' the zero hour
Everything lookin' so white
Housetop's comin' in sight
Got six tons of toys
For the girls and boys tonight

Well it's been a whole year
Since we've been down this way
Son on Christmas eve
We overload the sleigh
Everything will be alright
No I.C.C. in sight
Got six tons of toys
For the girls and boys tonight

It's down through the chimney
Where the soot is black as coal
Well I'll fill all the stockings
With as much as they can hold
The kids are sleepin' so tight
Better keep the ho ho light
Got six tons of toys
For the girls and boys tonight

Well I'm a little bit tired
But then I'm a little bit old
And if I close my eyes
The reindeer will know the way home
Well look what's comin' in sight
If you think that I'm happy you're right
Got six tons of toys
For the girls and boys tonight

Got six tons of toys
For the girls and boys tonight
Gor six tons of toys
Merry Christmas and good night
(Ho Ho Ho)


8.The Little Drummver Boy

Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A newborn King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
So to honour him, pa rum pum pum pum
When we come

Baby Jesus, pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give a King, pa rum pum pum pum,

Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum

Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum

9.The Way In A Manger

We were alone in the fields with our sheep
A star in the sky glowing bright in the east
When an angelic choir singing all glory be
To God in the highest, bade us come see (they said)

The way in a manger is a babe fast asleep
He's never a stranger to wise men who seek
The light and the hope for all of mankind
He's the way in a the manger
And He's easy to find

Mary and Joseph were there when we came
All that the angels had said was the same
And when I saw the baby I knew just what to do
I bowed down to worship the light and the truth

The way in a manger is a babe fast asleep
He's never a stranger to wise men who seek
The light and the hope for all of mankind
He's the way in a the manger
And He's easy to find

The light and the hope
For all of mankind
He's the way in a manger
And he's easy to find


10.What Child Is This

What child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping

This, this is Christ the King
Whome shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe the son of Mary

Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding
Good Christian fear for sinners here
The silent word is pleading

This, this is Christ the King
Whome shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe the son of Mary

So bring Him incense gold and myrrh
Come peasant King to own Him
The King of Kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
This, this is Christ the King
Whome shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe the son of Mary
The babe the son of Mary
