- Track Name: It's Almost Christmas, Chicago!
-
Bells are ringing in Christkindlmarket
Kids are singing on the silver CTA Holiday Train
You are waiting for the bus all
Bundled in your
Black down coat
Or oversized shawl
Brand new leather boots
This could only mean, could only mean one thing
It's almost Christmas
Almost Christmas
On Michigan Avenue
Almost Christmas,
Merry, merry Christmas!
You know you are the best by far! It's true!
Kids are skating at Millennium Park
Lighting up the tree at Daley Plaza, 55 high!
We are waiting on the red line platform
Underneath heat lamps
Can you feel your hands?
At last the train is here!
And it's heated! This could only mean one thing!
It's almost Christmas
Almost Christmas
On Michigan Avenue
Almost Christmas,
Merry, merry Christmas!
You know you are the best by far! It's true!
From Edgewater to Lincoln Park
To Cicero to Logan Boulevard
From Wrigleyville to West Hyde Park
To River North and up to O'hare Airport
From Lakeshore Drive!
Merry, merry Christmas!
To 55!
Merry, merry Christmas!
To 90/94!
Merry, merry Christmas!
Merry, merry Christmas!
Merry, merry Christmas!
- Track Name: White Christmas
-
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 dreams be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white.
- Track Name: My Favorite Things
-
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
- Track Name: Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
-
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on
our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.
Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Through the years
We all will be together,
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself
A merry little Christmas now.

Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born 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 honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
When we come.
Little Baby, 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 the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum,
On my drum?
Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum.
- Track Name: Let It Snow (True Meaning Of Christmas)
-
Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
- Track Name: Auld Lang Syne
-
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And old lang sine
For auld lang syne, my jo
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
Today you found your paths of gold
Tomorrow i'll find mine
Today you found your paths of gold
And old lang syne
And surely you will go your way
And surely I'll go mine
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang syne
