Perry Como Merry Christmas Music Lyrics
1.That Christmas Feelin'(1946 Version)

When the days of december are numbered,
And the earth begs it's snowflakes to fall . . .
That's the time of the year that christmas is here,
With peace and goodwill for all . . .

How i love that christmas feelin'
How i treasure it's friendly glow . . .
See the way a stranger greets you,
Just as though you'd met him christmas's ago!

Christmas helps you to remember,
To do what other folks hold dear . . .
What a blessed place the world would be,
If we had the christmas feelin' all year!

( repeat last verse )


2.I'll Be Home For Christmas(1946 Version)

I'll be home for christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree!

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for christmas
If only in my dreams!

< instrumental break >

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for christmas
If only in my dreams!


3.Silent Night(1946 Version)

Silent night holy night
All is calm all is bright
'round yon virgin mother an' child
Holy infant so tender an' mild
Sleep in heav'nly peace
Sleep in heav'nly peace

Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heav'nly hosts sing alleluia ( alleluia! )
Christ the saviour is born;
Christ the saviour is born.

Christ the saviour . . .
Is born ( alleluia! )

Silent night ( silent night! ) holy night ( holy night! )
Son of god, love's pure light.
Radiant beams from thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, lord, at thy birth;
Jesus, lord, at thy birth.


4.O, Come All Ye Faithful(Adeste Fidelis)

Adeste fidelis
Laeti triumphantes
Venite, venite in bethlehem

Natum videte regem angelorum
Venite adoremus
Venite adoremus
Venite adoremus dominum.

O come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, o come ye to bethlehem.
Come and behold him,
Born the king of angels!

O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
Christ the lord.

Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation
Sing, all ye citizens of heav'n above.
Glory to god
In the highest glory!

O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
Christ the lord.


5.Jingle Bells(1946 Version)

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

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

Dashing through the snow ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
In a one-horse open sleigh ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
O'er the fields we go ( o'er the fields, jingle, jingle! )
Laughin' all the way!
Bells on bob-tail ring ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Makin' spirits bright ( la, la, la la! )
What fun it is to ride an' 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,
Hey!

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 ( a day or two ago . . . )
I thought i'd take a ride ( i thought i'd take a ride . . . )
And soon miss fanny bride ( and soon miss fanny bride . . . )
Was seated by my side . . .
( the horse was lean and lank )
Misfortune seemed his lot,
He got into a drifted bank,
And we . . .
We got up sot!

Oh! jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
( oh what fun it is to ride . . . )
In a one-horse open sleigh
Hey!

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
( oh what fun it is to ride . . . )
In a one-horse open sleigh
Hey!


Now the ground is white ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Go it while you're young ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Take the girls tonight ( take the girls tonight . . . )
And sing this sleighing song
Just get a bob-tailed nag ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Two-forty for his speed
Then hitch &em to an open sleigh,
An' crack you'll take the lead!

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

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


6.White Christmas(1947 Version)

I'm dreaming of a white christmas
Just like the ones i used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow!

I'm dreaming of a white christmas
With every christmas car i write.
May your days be merry an' bright
And may all your christmas's be white!

I'm dreaming of a white christmas
Just like the ones i used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen ( and children listen! )
To hear sleigh bells in the snow!

I'm dreaming of a white christmas
With every christmas card i write.
May your days be merry an' bright
And may all your christmas's be white!

( . . . may all your christmas's be white! )


7.Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town(1959 Version)

You better watch out!
You better not cry!
Here's the man who's gonna tell you why!

I just got back from a lovely trip
Along the milky way!
I 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 in his workshop
An' told his plans to me!

So! you better watch out, better not cry
Better not pout, i'm tellin' you why
Santa claus is comin' to town!

He's makin' a list an' checkin' it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty an' nice
Santa claus is comin' to town!

He sees you when you're sleepin' ( he sees you! )
He knows when you're awake ( he knows! )
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!

Ho, you better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, i'm tellin' you why
Santa claus is comin' to town!

With little tin horns and little toy drums,
Rooty toot toots an' runny tum tums!
Santa claus is comin' to town!

And curly head dolls that cuddle and coo,
Elephants, boats an' kiddy cars too!
Santa claus, santa clause, santa clause is comin'
Comin' to town!

The kids in girl an' boy land
Will have a jubilee!
They're gonna build a toyland town
All around the christmas tree!

So! you better watch out, better not cry
Better not pout, i'm tellin' you why;
The big jolly man in the bright red suit
With his sleigh all full of loot
Santa claus is comin' . . .
To town!

9.Winter Wonderland

1946 version

Sleigh bells ring, are ya listenin' ?
In the lane snow is glistenin'
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 sings a love song as we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland!

In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is parson 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've made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland!

< instrumental break >

Sleigh bells ring, are ya listenin' ?
In the lane snow is glistenin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight . . .
Oh! . . . walkin' in a winter wonderland!

Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird . . .
He sings a love song as we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland!

In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is parson 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've made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland!

We'll be happy in love
As two turtle doves
Livin' in a fairy land! . . .
Oh! . . . we'll be walkin'
In a winter wonderland!


10.O, Little Town Of Bethlehem(1946 Version)

~ 1946 version

O, little town of bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth,
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.

For christ is born of mary
And gather all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wond'ring love!
O, morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to god our king
And peace to men on earth!

O, holy child of bethlehem
Descend to us we pray
Cast out our sin, and enter in, be
Born in us today!
We hear the christmas angels,
The great glad tidings tell
O, come to us, abide with us,
Our lord emanuel!
