Song Lyrics 2020 Battle Royale!
The Rules: 1. Each song must link a substantive word from the previous song. Tag the linked word in bold so we know what it is. 2. You can't use a song that has already been used. Covers of the same song are not different song. Parodies of the same song are different songs as long as the lyrics have a substantive change. 3. Your song must have something to do with the holiday season. 4. Your song must be a real, legitimate song that I can find on the web. Include a link either at the end of the post or embedded in the song lyrics. The last rules-compliant poster prior to 11:59pm on Twelfth Night (January 6th, 2021) will be the winner and will be entitled to bragging rights for the year!

I'll start!
Santa baby, just slip a Sable under the tree for me Been an awful good girl Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight Santa baby, an outer space convertible too, light blue I'll wait up for you, dear Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight Think of all the fun I've missed Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed Next year I could be oh so good If you check off my Christmas list Santa honey, I want a yacht and really that's not a lot Been an angel all year Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight Santa cutie, there's one little thing I really need The deed to a platinum mine Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight Santa baby, and fill my stocking with the duplex and checks Sign your 'x' on the line Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight Come and trim my Christmas tree With some decorations bought at Tiffany's I really do believe in you Let's see if you believe in me Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing A ring, I don't mean on the phone Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight Hurry down the chimney tonight Hurry, tonight

All I Want for Christmas Is You
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need I don't care about the presents Underneath the Christmas tree I just want you for my own More than you could ever know Make my wish come true oh All I want for Christmas is you I don't want a lot for Christmas There is just one thing I need, and I Don't care about the presents Underneath the Christmas tree I don't need to hang my stocking There upon the fireplace Santa Claus won't make me happy With a toy on Christmas day I just want you for my own More than you could ever know Make my wish come true All I want for Christmas is you I won't ask for much this Christmas I won't even wish for snow, and I I just wanna keep on waiting Underneath the mistletoe I won't make a list and send it To the North Pole for Saint Nick I won't even stay awake To hear those magic reindeer click 'Cause I just want you here tonight Holding on to me so tight What more can I do Oh, Baby all I want for Christmas is you All the lights are shining So brightly everywhere And the sound of children's Laughter fills the air And everyone is singing I hear those sleigh bells ringing Santa won't you bring me The one I really need Won't you please bring my baby to me quickly I don't want a lot for Christmas This is all I'm asking for I just wanna see my baby Standing right outside my door I just want you for my own More than you could ever know Make my wish come true Baby all I want for Christmas is you All I want for Christmas is you, baby

Great idea! Gonna get tough to keep going until the 6th...
It's Christmas at ground zero
There's music in the air The sleigh bells are ringing and the carolers are singing While the air raid sirens blare It's Christmas at ground zero The button has been pressed The radio just let us know that this is not a test Everywhere the atom bombs are dropping It's the end of all humanity No more time for last minute shopping It's time to face your final destiny It's Christmas at ground zero There's panic in the crowd We can dodge debris while trim the tree Underneath the mushroom cloud You might hear some reindeer on your rooftop Or Jack Frost on your windowsill But if someone's climbing down your chimney You better load your gun and shoot to kill Oh, it's Christmas at ground zero And if the radiation level's OK I'll go out with you and see all the new Mutations on New Year's Day It's Christmas at ground zero Just seconds left to go I'll duck and cover with my Yuletide lover Underneath the mistletoe It's Christmas at ground zero Now the missiles are on their way What a crazy fluke we're gonna get nuked On this jolly holiday What a crazy fluke we're gonna get nuked On this jolly holiday

I AM SANTA CLAUS!
Ho ho ho ho ho! Flying through the snow Can you hear him, ho ho ho He's so full of cheer Only has to work one day a year Children in their beds Visions of sugar plums fill their heads So many kids out there Santa must be a billionaire Red suit, boots of black Big sack of toys hanging off his back How much does he weigh How do the reindeer pull his sleigh Nobody sees him As he travels the world Leaving his presents For the good boys and girls Ho ho ho ho ho! Sees every move you make Better be good for goodness sake Leave him cookies and beer He'll be back to your house first next year I AM SANTA CLAUS Ho ho ho ho ho!

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 good night 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 goodbying But as long as you love me so Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve You can say there's no such thing as Santa But as for me and grandpa we believe She'd been drinking too much eggnog And we begged her not to go But she forgot her medication And she staggered out the door into the snow When we found her Christmas morning At the scene of the attack She had hoof-prints on her forehead And incriminating Claus marks on her back Grandma got run over by a reindeer Walking home from our house Christmas eve You can say there's no such thing as Santa But as for me and grandpa we believe Now we're all so proud of grandpa He's been taking this so well See him in there watching football Drinking beer and playing cards with cousin Mel It's not Christmas without Grandma All the family's dressed in black And we just can't help but wonder Should we open up her gifts Or send them back (send them back) Grandma got run over by a reindeer Walking home from our house Christmas eve You can say there's no such thing as Santa But as for me and grandpa we believe Now the goose is on the table And the pudding made of fig And the blue and silver candles That would just have matched the hair on grandma's wig I've warned all my friends and neighbors Better watch out for yourselves They should never give a license To a man who drives a sleigh And plays with elves Grandma got run over by a reindeer Walking home from our house Christmas eve You can say there's no such thing as Santa But as for me and grandpa we believe Sing it, Grandpa! Grandma got run over by a reindeer Walking home from our house Christmas eve You can say there's no such thing as Santa But as for me and grandpa we believe Merry Christmas

Town Meeting Song
Listen! There were objects so peculiar They were not to be believed All around, things to tantalize my brain It's a world unlike anything I've ever seen And as hard as I try I can't seem to describe Like a most improbable dream But you must believe when I tell you this It's as real as my skull and it does exist Here, let me show you This is a thing called a present The whole thing starts with a box (A box? is it steel? are there locks? is it filled with a pox? a pox! how delightful, a pox!) If you please Just a box with bright-colored paper And the whole thing's topped with a bow (A bow? but why? how ugly. what's in it? What's in it?) That's the point of the thing, not to know (It's a bat! will it bend? It's a rat! will it break? Perhaps it s the head that I found in the lake!) Listen now, you don't understand That's not the point of Christmas land Now, pay attention. Now we pick up an oversized sock And hang it like this on the wall (Oh, yes! Does it still have a foot? let me see, let me look! is it rotted and covered with gook?) Hmm, let me explain There's no foot inside, but there's candy Or sometimes it's filled with small toys (Small toys? do they bite? do they snap? or explode in a sack? or perhaps they just spring out and scare girls and boys!) What a splendid idea This Christmas sounds fun Why, I fully endorse it Let's try it at once Everyone, please now, not so fast There's something here that you don't quite grasp Well, I may as well give them what they want... And the best, I must confess, I have saved for the last For the ruler of this Christmas land Is a fearsome king with a deep mighty voice Least that's what I've come to understand And I've also heard it told That he's something to behold Like a lobster, huge and red And sets out to slay with his rain gear on Carting bulging sacks with his big great arms That is, so I've heard it said And on a dark, cold night Under full moonlight He flies into a fog Like a vulture in the sky And they call him Sandy Claws Well, at least they're excited Though they don't understand That special kind of feeling in Christmas land Oh, well...

Do You Hear What I Hear?
Said the night wind to the little lamb:
"Do you see what I see? Way up in the sky, little lamb Do you see what I see? A star, a star, dancing in the night With a tail as big as a kite With a tail as big as a kite" Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy: "Do you hear what I hear? Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy Do you hear what I hear? A song, a song, high above the trees With a voice as big as the sea With a voice as big as the sea" Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king: "Do you know what I know? In your palace warm, mighty king Do you know what I know? A Child, a Child shivers in the cold Let us bring Him silver and gold Let us bring Him silver and gold" Said the king to the people everywhere: "Listen to what I say! Pray for peace, people everywhere! Listen to what I say! The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light He will bring us goodness and light"

What child is this Who's laid to rest On Mary's lap is Sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet While shepherd's watch are keeping This this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste! haste! To bring him, Lord! The babe, the son of Mary Why lies He in such mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christians, fear, for sinners here The silent Word is pleading Nails, spear shall pierce Him through The cross be borne for me, for you Hail, hail the Word made flesh The Babe, the Son of Mary So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh Come peasant, king to own Him The King of kings salvation brings Let loving heart enthrone Him Raise, raise a song on high The virgin sings her lullaby Joy, joy for Christ is born The Babe, the Son of Mary Source: Musixmatch

Joy to the World
[Verse 1]
Joy to the world, the Lord has come Let earth receive her King Let every heart prepare Him room And heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing And heaven, and heaven and nature sing [Verse 2] Joy to the world, the Savior reigns Let men their songs employ While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains Repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy Repeat, repeat the sounding joy [Verse 3] No more let sins and sorrows grow Nor thorns infest the ground He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found, far as the curse is found Far as, far as the curse is found [Verse 4] He rules the world with truth and grace And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness And wonders of His love, and wonders of His love And wonders, wonders of His love

It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time But say a prayer, Pray for the other ones At Christmas time it's hard, but when you're having fun There's a world outside your window And it's a world of dread and fear Where the only water flowing Is the bitter sting of tears And the Christmas bells that ring There are the clanging chimes of doom Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time The greatest gift they'll get this year is life Where nothing ever grows No rain nor rivers flow Do they know it's Christmas time at all? Here's to you Raise a glass for everyone Spare a thought this yuletide for the deprived If the table was turned would you survive Here's to them Underneath that burning sun You ain't gotta feel guilt just selfless Give a little help to the helpless Do they know it's Christmas time at all? Feed the world Feed the world Feed the world Feed the world Feed the world Let them know it's Christmas time Feed the world Let them know it's Christmas time Feed the world Let them know it's Christmas time Feed the world Let them know it's Christmas time Feed the world Feed the world Feed the world Feed the world Feed the world Feed the world Feed the world Feed the world Feed the world

I really like Christmas
It's sentimental, I know, but I just really like it I am hardly religious I'd rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu, to be honest And yes, I have all of the usual objections to consumerism The commercialisation of an ancient religion And the westernisation of a dead Palestinian Press-ganged into selling Playstations and beer But I still really like it I'm looking forward to Christmas Though I'm not expecting a visit from Jesus I'll be seeing my dad My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum They'll be drinking white wine in the sun I'll be seeing my dad My sisters and brother, my gran and my mum They'll be drinking white wine in the sun I don't go for ancient wisdom I don't believe just 'cause ideas are tenacious it means they are worthy I get freaked out by churches Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords but the lyrics are dodgy And yes I have all of the usual objections to the miseducation Of children who in tax-exempt institutions are taught to externalise blame And to feel ashamed and to judge things as plain right and wrong But I quite like the songs I'm not expecting great presents The old combination of socks, jocks and chocolates is just fine by me 'Cause I'll be seeing my dad My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum They'll be drinking white wine in the sun I'll be seeing my dad My sisters and brother, my gran and my mum They'll be drinking white wine in the sun And you, my baby girl My jetlagged infant daughter You'll be handed round the room Like a puppy at a primary school And you won't understand But you will learn yourself one day That wherever you are and whatever you face These are the people who'll make you feel safe in this world My sweet blue-eyed girl And if, my baby girl When you're twenty-one or thirty-one And Christmas comes around And you find yourself nine thousand miles from home You'll know what ever comes Your brother and sister and me and your mum Will be waiting for you in the sun When Christmas comes Your brothers and sisters, your aunts and your uncles Your grandparents, cousins and me and your mum We'll be waiting for you in the sun Drinking white wine in the sun Darling whenever you come We'll be waiting for you in the sun Drinking white wine in the sun Waiting for you in the sun Darling, when Christmas comes We'll be waiting for you in the sun Waiting I, I really like Christmas It's sentimental, I know
