Here’s the song for the 12th day of our Advent calendar.  Here is one of the greats. #singing;#feelgood #carol #christmas

White Christmas

12-12 Snow scene

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 card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases 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
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 and bright
And may all your Christmases
May all your Christmases
May all your Christmases be white

I’m dreaming of a white
Christmas with you
Jingle Bells all the way, all the way12 Bing Crosby White Christmas

He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!

You better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

December 10th – Today I’m Singing Advent Calendar – “Last Christmas”

Here’s the song for the 10th day of our Advent calendar.  Don’t blub, just sing along. #singing;#feelgood #carol #christmas

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

10-12 Broken heart

I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away.
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special.

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye.
Tell me, baby,
Do you recognize me?
Well,
It’s been a year,
It doesn’t surprise me
(Merry Christmas)

I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying, “I love you,”
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I’ve been.
But if you kissed me now
I know you’d fool me again.

[Chorus 2x]

Oh, oh, baby.

A crowded room,
Friends with tired eyes.
I’m hiding from you
And your soul of ice.
My god I thought you were someone to rely on.
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on.

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart.
A man under cover but you tore me apart, ooh-hoo.
Now I’ve found a real love, you’ll never fool me again.

[Chorus 2x]

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you my heart)
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I’ll give it to someone
I’ll give it to someone special.

Special…
Someone…10-12 Wham Last Christmas

December 9th – Today I’m Singing Advent Calendar – “Rudolph the red nosed reindeer”

Here’s the song for the 9th day of our Advent calendar.  Get those noses flashing! #singing;#feelgood #carol #christmas

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer

9-12 Rudolph

 

You know Dasher and Dancer
And Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid
And Donner and Blitzen.
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glowsAll of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?

Then all the reindeer loved him
And they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You’ll go down in history!

9-12 Rudolph the red nosed reindeer

December 8th – Today I’m Singing Advent Calendar – “Walking in the air”

Here’s the song for the 8th day of our Advent calendar.  The wonderful song from the #Snowman #singing;#feelgood #carol #christmas #

Walking in the air

8-12 The Snowman

[Intro:]
Walking in the air,
Floating in the sky…
Floating in the air…

We’re walking in the air
We’re floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly

We’re holding very tight
I’m riding in the midnight blue
I’m finding I can fly so high above with you

Far across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills
The forest and the streams

Children gaze open mouthed taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes

We’re surfing in the air
We’re swimming in the frozen sky
We’re drifting over icy mountains floating by

Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Rising up a mighty monster from its sleep

We’re walking in the air
We’re dancing in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly

8-12 Aled Jones Walking in the air

December 7th – Today I’m Singing Advent Calendar – “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth”

Here’s the song for the 7th day of our Advent calendar.  Remember when you were excited about your teeth falling out! #singing;#feelgood #carol #christmas #

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth

7-12 Little girl

Everybody stops and stares at me
These two teeth are gone as you can see
I don’t know just who to blame for this castastrophe
But my one wish on Christmas Eve is as plain as can be

[Chorus:]
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth
My two front teeth
See my two front teeth
Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth
Then I could wish you, “Merry Christmas”

It seems so long since I could say
“Sister, Susie sitting on a thistle!”
Gosh, oh gee, how happy I’d be, if I could only whistle

[Chorus 2x]

It seems so long since I could say
“Sister, Susie sitting on a thistle!”
Gosh, oh gee, how happy I’d be, if I could only whistle

[Chorus]

December 6th – World’s toughest tongue twister

Why not use this nonsense tongue twister to wake your mouth (and your brain) up?

Pad kid poured curd pulled cold

6-12 Tongue Twister

According to researchers at MIT, this has been designed to be the most frustrating set of words ever to try and say quickly and repeatedly.  “If anyone can say this ten times quickly, they get a prize”  said the lead researcher.

Challenge yourself (and maybe your choir as a warm-up) and give yourself a prize if you are successful!

December 6th – Tribute to Nelson Mandela – “Give me hope Jo’anna”

A great man has died.  Nelson #Mandela gave hope and inspiration to millions.  This song from #EddyGrant that must have been inspired by him. #singing;#feelgood

Give me hope Jo’anna

6-12 Nelson Mandela

Well Jo’anna she runs a country
She runs in Durban and the Transvaal
She makes a few of her people happy, oh
She don’t care about the rest at all
She’s got a system they call apartheid
It keeps a brother in a subjection
But maybe pressure will make Jo’anna see
How everybody could a live as oneGimme hope, Jo’anna
Hope, Jo’anna
Gimme hope, Jo’anna
‘Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo’anna
Hope, Jo’anna
Hope before the morning come

I hear she makes all the golden money
To buy new weapons, any shape of guns
While every mother in black Soweto fears
The killing of another son
Sneakin’ across all the neighbours’ borders
Now and again having little fun
She doesn’t care if the fun and games she play
Is dang’rous to ev’ryone

Gimme hope, Jo’anna
Gimme hope, Jo’anna
Gimme hope, Jo’anna
‘Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo’anna
Gimme hope, Jo’anna
Hope before the morning come

She got supporters in high up places
Who turn their heads to the city sun
Jo’anna give them the fancy money
Oh to tempt anyone who’d come
She even knows how to swing opinion
In every magazine and the journals
For every bad move that this Jo’anna makes
They got a good explanation

Gimme hope, Jo’anna
Gimme hope, Jo’anna
Gimme hope, Jo’anna
‘Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo’anna
Gimme hope, Jo’anna
Hope before the morning come

Even the preacher who works for Jesus
The Archbishop who’s a peaceful man
Together say that the freedom fighters
Will overcome the very strong
I wanna know if you’re blind Jo’anna
If you wanna hear the sound of drum
Can’t you see that the tide is turning
Oh don’t make me wait till the morning come

Do give hope, Jo’anna
Gimme hope, Jo’anna
Gimme hope, Jo’anna
‘Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo’anna
Gimme hope, Jo’anna
Hope before the morning come

Gimme hope, Jo’anna
Gimme hope, Jo’anna
Gimme hope, Jo’anna
‘Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo’anna
Gimme hope, Jo’anna
Hope before the morning come

6-12 Eddy Grant Give me hope Joanna

December 6th – Today I’m Singing Advent Calendar – “Little Saint Nick”

Here’s the song for the 6th day of our Advent calendar.  It’s Saint Nicholas’ day, so here is a song about him from the #BeachBoys #singing;#feelgood #carol #christmas

Little Saint Nick

6-12 Waterski Father Christmas

Oooooooo
Merry Christmas Saint Nick
Christmas comes this time each year
Oooooooo oooooooo

Well, way up north where the air gets cold
There’s a tale about Christmas that you’ve all been told
And a real famous cat all dressed up in red
And he spends the whole year workin’ out on his sled

It’s the little Saint Nick
Ooooo, little Saint Nick
It’s the little Saint Nick
Ooooo, little Saint Nick

Just a little bobsled we call it old Saint Nick
But she’ll walk a toboggan with a four speed stick
She’s candy-apple red with a ski for a wheel
And when Santa hits the gas, man, just watch her peel

It’s the little Saint Nick
Ooooo, little Saint Nick
It’s the little Saint Nick
Ooooo, little Saint Nick

Run run reindeer
Run run reindeer
Whoaa
Run run reindeer
Run run reindeer

He don’t miss no one

And haulin’ through the snow at a frightenin’ speed
With a half a dozen deer with Rudy to lead
He’s gotta wear his goggles ’cause the snow really flies
And he’s cruisin’ every pad with a little surprise

It’s the little Saint Nick
Ooooo, little Saint Nick
It’s the little Saint Nick
Ooooo, little Saint Nick

Ahhhhhh
Oooooooo
Merry Christmas Saint Nick
Christmas comes this time each year

Ahhhhhh
Oooooooo
Merry Christmas Saint Nick
Christmas comes this time each year

Ahhhhhh
Oooooooo
Merry Christmas Saint Nick
Christmas comes this time each year

6-12 Beach Boys Little Saint Nick
