A Spaceman Came Traveling

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION PARTIES:

A spaceman came traveling on his ship from afar
‘Twas light years of time since his mission did start
And over a village, he halted his craft
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star
He followed a light and came down to a shed
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed
A bright light of silver shone round his head
And he had the face of an angel and they were afraid
Then the stranger spoke, he said, do not fear
I come from a planet a long way from here
And I bring a message for mankind to hear
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air
And it went la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la
Peace and goodwill to all men and love for the child
La la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la, oh
This lovely music went trembling through the ground
And many were awakened on hearing that sound
And travelers on the road
The village they found by the light of that ship in the sky
Which shone all around
And just before dawn at the paling of the sky
The stranger returned and said, now I must fly
When two thousand years of your time has gone by
This song will begin once again to a baby’s cry
And it went la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la
This song will begin once again to a baby’s cry
And it goes la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la
Peace and goodwill to all men and love for the child
Oh the whole world is waiting, waiting to hear the song again (la la la la la la la la la)
There are thousands standing on the edge of the world (la la la la la la la la la)
And a star is moving somewhere, the time is nearly here (la la la la la la la la la)
This song will begin once again to a baby’s cry

Let It Go

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I’m the queen
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I’ve tried
Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well, now they know
Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don’t care what they’re going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway
It’s funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can’t get to me at all
It’s time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I’m free
Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You’ll never see me cry
Here I stand and here I stay
Let the storm rage on
My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I’m never going back, the past is in the past
Let it go, let it go
When I’ll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone
Here I stand in the light of day
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway

Oh Santa

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION PARTIES:

Oh, there’s a Bentley
A house in Chelsea
There’s a myriad o’ things that you can get me
A little pony,
A bunch of Tonys
Oh, the things that you could do for me

Oh, Santa, oh, Santa
I know that you deliver everything I’m after
But you don’t need to read another Christmas list
Just save a little kiss for me

Oh, a jacuzzi,
Oh, that’ll do me
With a bubble bath and back rub with Clooney
Oh an elixir,
A super fixer
Oh, the things that you could do for me

Oh, Santa, oh, Santa
I know that you deliver everything I’m after
But you don’t need to read another Christmas list
Just save a little kiss for me

Oh, Santa
Well, yeah, there’s a few things on my list
Few things I’d like
But there’s not a lot that I—I really need.
Or maybe?

Oh, a tiara, a baby llama
A private dinner with president Obama
A trip to outer space
To get off my face
Oh, the things that you could do for me

Oh, Santa, oh, Santa
I know that you deliver everything I’m after
But you don’t need to read another Christmas list
Oh, I know you got better things to do than this
Oh, you don’t need to read another Christmas list
Just save a little kiss for me

Thank you, Santa

Silver Bells / When a Child is Born

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION PARTIES:

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks.
Dressed in holiday style
In the air
There’s a feeling
of Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
and on every street corner you’ll hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day

Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush
home with their treasures

Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa’s big scene
And above all this bustle
You’ll hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day

A ray of hope flickers in the sky
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A rosy hue settles all around
You’ve got to feel you’re on solid ground
For a spell or two, no one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born
And all of this happens because the world is waiting
Waiting for one child
Black, white, yellow, no one knows
But a child that will grow up and turn tears to laughter
Hate to love, war to peace and everyone to everyone’s neighbour
And misery and suffering will be words to be forgotten forever
It’s all a dream, an illusion now
It must come true, sometime soon somehow
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

Lonely This Christmas / I Believe in Father Christmas

Try to imagine a house that’s not a home
Try to imagine a Christmas all alone
That s where I’ll be since you left me
My tears could melt the snow
What can I do without you?
I’ve got no place, no place to go
It’ll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It’ll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It’ll be cold, so cold, without you to hold
This Christmas
Each time I remember the day you went away
And how I would listen to the things you had to say
I just break down as I look around
And the only things I see
Are emptiness and loneliness
And an unlit Christmas tree
It’ll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It’ll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It’ll be cold, so cold, without you to hold
This Christmas
You remember last year when you and I were here
We never thought there’d be an end
And I remember looking at you then
And I remember thinking that Christmas
Must have been made for us
‘Cause darling, this is the time of year
That you really, you really need love
When it means so very, very much
So it ll be lonely this Christmas
(Without you to hold) without you to hold
(It’ll be lonely this Christmas)
It ll be so very lonely this Christmas
(Lonely and cold) lonely and cold
It’ll be lonely this Christmas
Without you to hold
It’ll be lonely this Christmas
Lonely and cold
It’ll be cold, so cold, without you to hold
This Christmas
Merry Christmas, darling, wherever you are

They said there’ll be snow at Christmas
They said there’ll be peace on earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the virgin birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winter’s light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a silent night
And they told me a fairy story
‘Till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in father Christmas
And I looked to the sky with excited eyes
‘Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise
I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave new year
All anguish, pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there’ll be snow at Christmas
They said there’ll be peace on earth
Hallelujah, Noel be it heaven or hell
The Christmas we get we deserve

Don’t Fear the Reaper

  • All our times have come
    Here but now they’re gone
    Seasons don’t fear the reaper
    Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
    We can be like they are
    Come on, baby (don’t fear the reaper)
    Baby, take my hand (don’t fear the reaper)
    We’ll be able to fly (don’t fear the reaper)
    Baby, I’m your man
    La, la, la, la, la
    La, la, la, la, la
    Valentine is done
    Here but now they’re gone
    Romeo and Juliet
    Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)
    40, 000 men and women everyday (like Romeo and Juliet)
    40, 000 men and women everyday (redefine happiness)
    Another 40, 000 coming everyday (we can be like they are)
    Come on, baby (don’t fear the reaper)
    Baby, take my hand (don’t fear the reaper)
    We’ll be able to fly (don’t fear the reaper)
    Baby, I’m your man
    La, la, la, la, la
    La, la, la, la, la
    Love of two is one
    Here but now they’re gone
    Came the last night of sadness
    And it was clear she couldn’t go on
    Then the door was open and the wind appeared
    The candles blew and then disappeared
    The curtains flew and then he appeared
    Saying don’t be afraid
    Come on, baby (and she had no fear)
    And she ran to him (then they started to fly)
    They looked backward and said goodbye (she had become like they are)
    She had taken his hand (she had become like they are)
    Come on, baby (don’t fear the reaper)

    Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
    There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
    He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
    Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
    But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
    He could preach the Bible like a preacher
    Full of ecstasy and fire
    But he also was the kind of teacher
    Women would desire
    Ra ra Rasputin
    Lover of the Russian queen
    There was a cat that really was gone
    Ra ra Rasputin
    Russia’s greatest love machine
    It was a shame how he carried on
    He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Czar
    But the kazachok he danced really wunderbar
    In all affairs of state he was the man to please
    But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
    For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
    Though she’d heard the things he’d done
    She believed he was a holy healer
    Who would heal her son
    Ra ra Rasputin
    Lover of the Russian queen
    There was a cat that really was gone
    Ra ra Rasputin
    Russia’s greatest love machine
    It was a shame how he carried on
    But when his drinking and lusting
    And his hunger for power
    Became known to more and more people
    The demands to do something
    About this outrageous man
    Became louder and louder
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
    “This man’s just got to go”, declared his enemies
    But the ladies begged, “Don’t you try to do it, please”
    No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
    Though he was a brute, they just fell into his arms
    Then one night some men of higher standing
    Set a trap, they’re not to blame
    “Come to visit us”, they kept demanding
    And he really came
    Ra ra Rasputin
    Lover of the Russian queen
    They put some poison into his wine
    Ra ra Rasputin
    Russia’s greatest love machine
    He drank it all and said, “I feel fine”
    Ra ra Rasputin
    Lover of the Russian queen
    They didn’t quit, they wanted his head
    Ra ra Rasputin
    Russia’s greatest love machine
    And so they shot him ’til he was dead
    Oh, those Russians
