It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look at the five and ten, it’s glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes that glow
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door
A pair of Hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that’ll talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There’s a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well
It’s the sturdy kind that doesn’t mind the snow
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that’ll make ’em ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door
Sure, it’s Christmas once more
Well, you’re dirty and sweet
Clad in black, don’t look back and I love you
You’re dirty and sweet, oh yeah
Well, you’re slim and you’re weak
You’ve got the teeth of the hydra upon you
You’re dirty, sweet and you’re my girl
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Well, you’re built like a car
You’ve got a hubcap diamond star halo
You’re built like a car, oh yeah
Well, you’re an untamed youth
That’s the truth with your cloak full of eagles
You’re dirty, sweet and you’re my girl
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on (oh)
Well, you’re windy and wild
You’ve got the blues in your shoes and your stockings
You’re windy and wild, oh yeah
Well you’re built like a car
You’ve got a hubcap diamond star halo
You’re dirty, sweet and you’re my girl
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Well, you’re dirty and sweet
Clad in black, don’t look back and I love you
You’re dirty and sweet, oh yeah
Well, you dance when you walk
So let’s dance, take a chance, understand me
You’re dirty, sweet and you’re my girl
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on (ow)
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on (ow)
(Get it on)
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Take me
For a meanwhile I’m still thinking
If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate
If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
And through the rain
Into the half-light
And through the flame
If I could through myself
Set your spirit free, I’d lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
And to the day
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
To let it go
And so to fade away
To let it go
And so, fade away
Wide awake
I’m wide awake
Wide awake
I’m not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no
If you should ask then maybe they’d
Tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flag
Colors crash, collide in bloodshot eyes
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
If I could, you know I would, if I could, I would
Let it go
This desperation
Dislocation
Separation, condemnation
Revelation in temptation
Isolation, desolation
Let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
Oh now, and so to fade away
I’m wide awake
I’m wide awake
Wide awake
I’m not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no

Come on babe, why don’t we paint the town?
And all that jazz
I’m gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockings down
And all that jazz
Start the car, I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold but the piano’s hot
It’s just a noisy hall, where there’s a nightly brawl
And all that jazz
Skidoo
And all that jazz
Hotcha
Whoopee
And all that jazz
Slick your hair and wear your buckle shoes
And all that jazz
I hear that Father Dip is gonna blow the blues
And all that jazz
Hold on hon, we’re gonna bunny-hug
I bought some aspirin down at United Drug
In case you shake apart and want a brand new start
To do that jazz
Find a flask, we’re playin’ fast and loose
And all that jazz
Right up here is where I store the juice
And all that jazz
Come on babe, we’re gonna brush the sky
I betcha Lucky Lindy never flew so high
‘Cause in the stratosphere, how could he lend an ear
To all that jazz?
Oh, you’re gonna see your sheba shimmy-shake
And all that jazz
Oh, she’s gonna shimmy ’til her garters break
And all that jazz
Show her where to park her girdle
Oh, her mother’s blood’ll curdle
If she’d hear her baby’s queer
For all that jazz
All that jazz
Come on babe, why don’t we paint the town?
(Oh, you’re gonna see your Sheba shimmy shake)
And all that jazz (and all that jazz)
I’m gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockings down
(Oh, she’s gonna shimmy ’til her garters break)
And all that jazz (and all that jazz)
Start the car, I know a whoopee spot
(Show her where to park her girdle)
Where the gin is cold but the piano’s hot

Choreography and set: Laura
Music: “All Stood Still” by Ultravox
Leti says: “All Stood Still” is so Black & white ..the impact is clear concise and easy to understand. It is so vibrant the strength of no color rules.
R says: “I look good in bla- DAMMIT!”
The lights went out
(The last fuse blew)
The clocks all stopped
(It can’t be true)
The program’s wrong
(What can we do?)
The printout’s blocked
(It relied on you)
The turbine cracked up
The buildings froze up
The system choked up
What can we do?
Please remember to mention me
In tapes you leave behind
We stood still
We all stood still
Still stood still
We’re standing still
The screen shut down
(There’s no reply)
The lifts all fall
(A siren cries)
And the radar fades
(A pilot sighs)
As the countdowns stall
(The readout lies)
The turbines cracked up
The buildings froze up
The system choked up
What can we do?
Please remember to mention me
In tapes you leave behind
We stood still
We all stood still
Still stood still
We’re standing still
The black box failed
(The codes got crossed)
And the jails decayed
(The keys got lost)
Everyone kissed
(We breathe exhaust)
In the new arcade
(Of the holocaust)
The turbine cracked up
The buildings froze up
The system choked up
What can we do?
Please remember to mention me
In tapes you might leave behind
We stood still
We all stood still
Still stood still
We’re standing still
We stood still
We all stood still
Still stood still
We’re standing still
You turn me on, you lift me up
And like the sweetest cup I’d share with you
You lift me up, don’t you ever stop, I’m here with you
Now it’s all or nothing
Cause you say you’ll follow through
You follow me, and I, I, I follow you
What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the Love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What’s it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who’s got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Who’s gonna save you?
Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, until your love is, Alive
Oh you lift me up to the crucial top, so I can see
Oh you lead me on, till the feelings come
And the lights that shine on
But if that don’t mean nothing
Like if someday it should fall through
You’ll take me home where the magic’s from
And I’ll be with you
What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the Love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What’s it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who’s got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Don’t say goodbye
Don’t say goodbye
In the final seconds who’s gonna save you?
Oh, Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, love is, Alive and Kicking
Oh, Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, love is, Alive and Kicking
Watching her
Strolling in the night so white
Wondering why
It’s only after dark
In her eyes
A distant fire light burns bright
Wondering why
It’s only after dark
I find myself in her room
Feel the fever of my doom
Falling falling
Through the floor
I’m knocking on the devil’s door yeah
In the dawn
I wake up to find her gone
And the note
Says “only after dark”
Burning burning in the flame
Now I know her secret name
You can tear her temple down
But she’ll be back and rule again yeah
In my heart a deep and dark
And lonely part
Wants her and waits for
After dark
After dark
After dark
After dark
