"Here Comes Santa Claus Again"

"Here Comes Santa Claus Again"


He's got a fuzzy white beard 'neath a great big smile
A bright red hat you could see for a mile
A bag full of goodies and a great big grin
Here comes Santa Clause, again

All year he been a workin' and a buildin' toys
All for the good little girls and boys
He come down the chimney with the great big grin
Here comes Santa Claus, again

He's got little toy soldiers all red and blue
A lots of little vowels that say I love you
A dress for mama and a pipe for dad
Santa sure makes a lotta people feel glad

So hang your stockings and go to bed
Say your prayers and cover your head
And while you're sleeping his fun begins
Here comes Santa Claus, again

[Instrumental]

Say your prayers and cover your head
And while you're sleeping his fun begins
Here comes Santa Clause, again

Santa Claus is here, again...

"High As The Mountain"

"High As The Mountain"


They say that too much water has run under the bridge
That we never can live down the past
That once your love has ended it never can return
But that's not so, for we both know, that our love will last.

High as the mountain
Deep as the sea
Tall as the tallest, tallest tree
That's how much I love you
That's how much you love me
High as the mountains
Deep as the sea.

[Instrumental]

It might be they're just jealous and don't want to understand
That our love will pass the test with room to spare
But it's just their conscience talkin' of their broken dreams and plans
For it shows and we both know that our love is fair.

High as the mountain
Deep as the sea
Tall as the tallest, tallest tree
That's how much I love you
That's how much you love me
High as the mountains
Deep as the sea...

"High On A Hilltop"

"High On A Hilltop"


High on a hilltop overlooking a city
I watched the bright lights as they gleam
For somewhere you're dancing in some dingy bar room
And the lure of the gay life takes the place of our dream

High on a hilltop my heart cries, Oh Lord
Forgive her she knows not the way
And give me the power to believe and some day
High on a hilltop together we'll pray

[Instrumental]

I can vision a rounder with a line so smooth
With a promise of riches for you
But you see not the danger for you're silly with booze
And from high on a hilltop I see the devil in you

High on a hilltop my heart cries, Oh Lord
Forgive her she knows not the way
Just give me the power to believe and some day
High on a hilltop together we'll pray...

"Holdin' On"

"Holdin' On"



I'll keep holdin' on though you've stopped trying
'Cause I think it's sad, something beautiful's dying
And we both said that forever was the way true love should be
So I'll be holdin' on when you let go of me.

I'll be holdin' on when you let go
I'm just wonderin' why you don't love me anymore
And that something so good's gone bad My mind just won't believe
So I'll be holding on when you let go of me.

I'll be holding on darling, holding on
I'll be holding on when you let go of me.
Yes, that something so good's gone bad My mind just won't believe
So I'll be holding on when you let go of me...

"Hollywood Waltz"

"Hollywood Waltz"



Springtime, and the acacias are blooming
Southern California will see one more day
Dreamland, and bus'ness is booming,
The birds are a singing as I drift away

She looks another year older,
From too many lovers who used her and ran
But some nights, oh, she looks like an angel
And she's always willing to hold you again

So give her this dance,
She can't be forsaken
Learn how to love her with all of her faults

She gave more than she's taken,
And I'll go down doing the Hollywood Waltz

Springtime and the lady is grieving
The lovers just stand there with nothing to say
They got what they wanted,
They're packing and leaving
To look for another to love the same way

So give her this dance,
She can't be forsaken
Learn how to love her
With all of her faults
She gave more than she's taken
And I'll go down doing the Hollywood Waltz
The Hollywood Waltz

"Home On Christmas Day"

"Home On Christmas Day"



Christmas time is comin'
Santa's not far away
Things are gonna be hummin'
Here at home on Christmas day

Well, mama's in the kitchen a-cookin'
Daddy's docoratin' the tree
Big sister's hangin' the mistletoe
Little brother's jumpin' with glee

Yes, now Christmas time is a-comin'
Santa's not far away
Things are gonna be hummin'
Here at home on Christmas day

Well, Johnny's comin' home from the army
Yes, and Susie's comin' home from school
Uncle Bill's a-comin' up the hill
With the gift for me and you

Oh, Christmas time is comin'
Santa's not far away
Things are gonna be hummin'
Here at home on Christmas day

Things are gonna be hummin'
Here at home on Christmas day

"Homeward Bound"

"Homeward Bound"



I'm sittin' in the railway station
Got a ticket for my destination mhm
On a tour of one night stands
My suitcase and guitar in hand.

And every stop is neatly planned
For a poet and a one man band
Homeward bound
I wish I was homeward bound.

Home where my thought's escaping
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.

Every day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines mhm
And each town looks the same to me
The movies and the factories

And every stranger's face I see
Reminds me that I long to be
Homeward bound
I wish I was homeward bound.

Home where my thought's escaping
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.

Tonight I'll sing my songs again
I'll play the game and pretend mhm
But all my words come back to me
In shades of mediocrity.

Like emptiness and harmony
I need someone to comfort me
Homeward bound
I wish I was homeward bound.

Home where my thought's escaping
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.

Silently for me, silently for me...

"Honey Let's Fall In Love"

"Honey Let's Fall In Love"


Everybody else is doing it so honey, let's do it too
It's been going on since time began
They say that once you try it you'll never get enough
If everybody else is doing it honey, let's fall in love.

Adam and Eve both did it and honey,
Don't you forget Romeo also did it with Juliet
My mama and my daddy both did it
And for me that's good enough.
If everybody else is doing it honey, let's fall in love

If everybody's falling in love then that's gotta be good
If everybody's doing it honey, don't you think we should
The whole wide world is doing it, it's kickin' up quite a fuss
If everybody else is doing it honey, let's fall in love.

[Instrumental]

(There's no respections on it there's no set time or place
For the young and old it's all the same
And once old Cupid shoo shoo he just can't get enough
If everybody else is doing it honey, let's fall in love)

If everybody's falling in love then that's gotta be good
If everybody's doing it honey, don't you think we should
The whole wide world is doing it, it's kickin' up quite a fuss
If everybody else is doing it honey, let's fall in love.

The whole world is doing it so honey let's fall in love...

"Hot Dog"

"Hot Dog"


Well, my baby works in a hot dog stand
A-making them hot dogs as fast as she can
Up steps a cat and yells don't be slow
And get me two hot dogs ready to go

Hot dog, she's my baby
Hot dog, drives me crazy
Hot dog, I don't mean maybe
Well, you oughta see my baby at the hot dog stand

Well, in the cool of the evening when the sun goes down
All the chicks and the cats all gather around
They order hot dogs and red soda pop
Then head down the road to a hep cat hop

Hot dog, she's my baby
Hot dog, drives me crazy
Hot dog, don't mean maybe
Well, you oughta see my baby at the hot dog stand

[Instrumental]

Well, I'm a-waiting for my baby every night at twelve
She closes up the shop and then we lose ourselves
At a hep cat hop, in a crazy way
We're a-doin' the bop till the break of day

Hot dog, she's my baby
Hot dog, drives me crazy
Hot dog, I don't mean maybe
Well, you oughta see my baby at the hot dog stand

Hot dog, she's my baby
Hot dog, drives me crazy
Hot dog, I don't mean maybe
Well, you oughta see my baby at the hot dog stand

Hot dog
Hot dog
Hot dog
Hot dog
Hot dog
Hot dog

"House Of Memories"

"House Of Memories"



My house of mem'ries is all that I own
I live in mis'ry now that you're gone
A constant reminder of what used to be
Is torturing me in my house of mem'ries.

My house is a prison where mem'ries surround me
There's no place to hide me for your mem'ry can't find me
My house of mem'ries is all that I own
I live in mis'ry now that you're gone.

My house is a prison where mem'ries surround me
There's no place to hide me for your mem'ry can't find me
My house of mem'ries is all that I own
I live in mis'ry now that you're gone.

I'm all alone in my house of mem'ries...
