PUB CHORUS: CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

1. Bad Moon Rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival

I see the bad moon a-risin'

I see trouble on the way

I see earthquakes and lightnin'

I see bad times today

Don't go around tonight

Well it's bound to take your life

There's a bad moon on the rise

Don't go around tonight

Well it's bound to take your life

There's a bad moon on the rise

I hear hurricanes a-blowin'

I know the end is comin' soon

I fear rivers over flowin'

I hear the voice of rage and ruin

CHORUS

Hope you got your things together

Hope you are quite prepared to die

Looks like we're in for nasty weather

One eye is taken for an eye

CHORUS

2. 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

3. Love Is In The Air - John Paul Young

Love is in the air, everywhere I look around

Love is in the air, every sight and every sound

And I don't know if I'm being foolish

Don't know if I'm being wise

But is something that I must believe in

And it's there when I look in your eyes

Love is in the air, in the whisper of the trees

Love is in the air, in the thunder of the sea

And I don't know if I'm just dreaming

Don't know if I feel sane

But it's something that I must believe in

And it's there when you call out my name

Love is in the air, love is in the air

Love is in the air, in the rising of the sun

Love is in the air, when the day is nearly done

And I don't know if you're illusion

Don't know if see it true

But you're something that I must believe in

And you're there when I reach out for you

Love is in the air, everywhere I look around

Love is in the air, every sight and every sound

And I don't know if I'm being foolish

Don't know if I'm being wise

But it's something that I must believe in

And it's there when I look in your eyes

Love is in the air, love is in the air

4. O, Holy Night

O holy night! the stars are brightly shining;

It is the night of the dear Savior's birth.

Long lay the world in sin and error pining,

Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.

A thrill of hope--the weary world rejoices,

For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!

Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices!

O night divine, O night when Christ was born!

O night divine! O night, O night divine!

Truly he taught us to love one another;

His law is love and his gospel is peace.

Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother,

And in his name all oppression shall cease.

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we;

Let all within us praise his holy name.

Christ is the Lord! O praise his name forever!

His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim!

O night divine! O night, O night divine!

Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices!

O night divine, O night when Christ was born!

O night divine! O night, O night divine!

5. Lean On Me - Bill Withers

Sometimes in our lives

We all have pain, we all have sorrow

But if we are wise

We know that there’s always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you’re not strong

And I’ll be your friend

I’ll help you carry on

For it won’t be long

‘Til I’m gonna need somebody to lean on

You just call on me brother

When you need a hand

We all need somebody to lean on

I just might have a problem

That you understand

We all need somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride

If I have things you need to borrow

For no one can fill

Those of your needs you won’t let show

CHORUS

If there is a load you have to bear

That you can’t carry

I’m right up the road

I’ll share your load if you just call me

CHORUS

6. Away In A Manger

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed

The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head

The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay

The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes

But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes

I love You, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky

And stay by my side until morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask You to stay

Close by me forever and love me I pray

Bless all the dear children in Your tender care

And fit us for heaven to live with You there

7. Make Your Own Kind of Music - Mama Cass Elliott

Nobody can tell you

There’s only one song worth singing

They may try and sell you

‘Cause it hangs them up

To see someone like you

But you’ve gotta

Make your own kind of music

Sing your own special song

Make your own kind of music

Even if nobody else sings along

You’re gonna be knowing

The loneliest kind of lonely

It may be rough going

Just to do your thing

The hardest thing to do

But you’ve gotta

CHORUS

And if you cannot take my hand

And if you must be going

I will understand…

CHORUS x 2

8. It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas

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

9. I Can See Clearly Now - Johnny Nash

I can see clearly now the rain is gone

I can see all obstacles in my way

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

I think I can make it now the pain is gone

All of the bad feelings have disappeared

Here is that rainbow I've been praying for

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

It’s gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies

Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies…

I can see clearly now the rain is gone

I can see all obstacles in my way

Here is that rainbow I've been praying for

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies

Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies…

I can see clearly now the rain is gone

I can see all obstacles in my way

Here is that rainbow I've been praying for

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

10. Happy, Messy Christmas - GOLDHEIST

Nobody’s perfect, none of us are

Loving each other is not always easy

But whether we’re family, or the family we choose

We’re in this together, whatever they tell you

So bring your gentle heart, and a bottle of wine

Slow down your rhythm

And bask in the warmth of a

Happy, messy Christmas with people you love

Wish you a happy, messy Christmas with people you love

Life is exhausting, the year has been tough

We’ve gritted our teeth more times than we care to recall

But there have been triumphs, days in the sun

Every morning a gift like no other

So bring your gentle heart, and a bottle of wine

Slow down your rhythm

And bask in the warmth of a

Happy, messy Christmas with people you love

Wish you a happy, messy Christmas with people you love

People you love…

11. Sing ‘Til The Sun Comes Back - Stu Larsen

I'm weary of this world

And our wars that find no peace

While we all search for something

To set our minds at ease

So we’ll sing ‘til the sun come, sing ‘til the sun comes

Sing ‘til the sun comes back

We’ll sing ‘til the sun come, sing ‘til the sun comes

Sing ‘til the sun comes back

Some say the end is near

They might be wrong they might be right

But I'm tired of all this darkness

While we're waiting for the light

CHORUS

And the walls we build around us

No they will not stand forever

They wanna tear us all apart

But we need to come together

CHORUS

12. Silent Night

Silent night, holy night

All is calm, all is bright

Round yon Virgin Mother and Child

Holy infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night

Shepherds quake at the sight

Glories stream from heaven afar

Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia

Christ, the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night

Son of God, love’s pure light

Radiant beams from Thy holy face

With the dawn of redeeming grace

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

13. Don’t Stop Believing - Journey

Just a small town girl

Livin' in a lonely world

She took the midnight train going anywhere

Just a city boy

Born and raised in South Detroit

He took the midnight train going anywhere

A singer in a smokey room

A smell of wine and cheap perfume

For a smile they can share the night

It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waitin'

Up and down the boulevard

Their shadows searchin' in the night

Streetlights, people

Livin' just to find emotion

Hidin' somewhere in the night

Workin' hard to get my fill

Everybody wants a thrill

Payin' anything to roll the dice

Just one more time

Some'll win, some will lose

Some are born to sing the blues

Whoa, the movie never ends

It goes on and on and on and on

CHORUS

Don't stop believin'

Hold on to that feelin'

Streetlights, people…x4

ROUNDS

By the waters, the waters of Babylon

We lay down and wept, and wept for the Zion

We remember, we remember, we remember the Zion

Ah poor bird, take thy flight

Far above the sorrows

Of this dark night

Blue moon

You saw me standing alone

Without a dream in my heart

Without a love of my own

I like the flowers, I like the daffodils

I like the mountains, I like the rolling hills

I like the fireside when all the lights are low

Boom dee ah da…

Heart and soul, I feel in love with you

Heart and soul, just like a fool would do

Madly, because you held me tight

And stole a kiss in the night

Music, each and every day

It’s gotta be music

With me all the way

You can feel the beat

You can feel the heat

When you feel it get on your feet

Can you feel it

Music makes the world go ‘round

People can you feel it

Put your feet on solid ground
