"Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!"

"Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!"


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

Oh it doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've bought some corn for popping
And the lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss goodnight
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

Oh the fire is slowly dying
And my dear, we're still good-bying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

"Lift Up Your Heads Ye Mighty Gates"

"Lift Up Your Heads Ye Mighty Gates"


Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates
Behold, the King of glory waits
The King of kings is drawing near
The Savior of the world is here

O blest the land, the city blest
Where Christ the Ruler is confessed
O happy hearts and happy homes
To whom this King in triumph comes

"Lion's Share"
(performed by Sisyphus)



[Serengeti:]
This
Right
Here
Is the tale of Banks & Conley
The two greatest outlaws America's ever seen
They tied the ropes, down they went
And all they found were sheets in the wind
(Aw, they were blowing)
On the 20th floor, smack downtown
They changed their clothes from white to brown
Caught a cab, and headed south
Way out to Conley's grandma's house
The trail was hot
"You can't stay," Granny turned them both away
They split up, separate ways
Been on the lam about 10 days
They busted out, love in the air
We're all in search of the lion's share

[Hook - Serengeti (Sufjan):]
We're all in search of the lion's share
(Give me the lion's share)
We're all in search of the lion's share
(Give me the lion's share)
(Dance, dance)
Put the money in your pants
(Run, run)
We can all get some
(Give me the lion's share) [x6]

This
Right
Here
Is the the tale of Banks & Conley
The two greatest outlaws America's ever seen
They tied the sheets, smack downtown
Jails can't hold these fellas down
Banks had the loot stashed in the safe
In a backyard in the Buckeye State
He picked and picked
Moon lights the air
Work that back for the lion's share
(Give me the lion's share)
Work that back for the lion's share
(Give me the lion's share)
Work that back for the lion's share
Work that back for the lion's share
They both got lost, love in the air
We're all in search of the lion's share

[Hook]

Work that back for the lion's share [x7]
Get the loot, call for Conley
Lovers live in this economy
Let's all get lost, love in the air
We're all in search of the lion's share

[Hook - Serengeti (Sufjan):]
We're all in search of the lion's share
(Give me the lion's share)
We're all in search of the lion's share
(Give me the lion's share)
(Dance, dance)
With the booty in your pants
(Run, run)
We can all get some
(Give me the lion's share) [x6]

"Lumberjack Christmas / No One Can Save You From Christmases Past"

"Lumberjack Christmas / No One Can Save You From Christmases Past"


Oh, no, the rugged soul
The great backyard and the cold North Pole
I resent that Santa went and
Left us in the Alamo
Would you like to stay a while and dance with me?
Would you like to wrap the gifts and have a drink?

The only condition (I know the one)
I've got the premonition (I've got a clue)
That Christmas is a vision (For Christmas)
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
If drinking makes it easy (So pass one here)
The music's kinda cheesy (And sing a cheer)
The specials on the TV (Especially)
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho

Dreams go and stay below
The cattle call and the old dark soul
I respect that Santa left
To save his kids from the winter cold
Would you like to stay a while and dance with me?
Mistletoe and chestnuts roasting on the street

The only condition (I know the one)
I've got the premonition (I've got a clue)
That Christmas is a vision (For Christmas)
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
If drinking makes it easy (So pass one here)
The music's kinda cheesy (And sing a cheer)
The specials on the TV (Especially)
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho

No one can save you from Christmases past
You'll have to love it or leave it at last
No one can save you from Christmases past
You'll have to love it or leave it at last
No one can save you from Christmases past
You'll have to love it or leave it at last

"Marching Band"

"Marching Band"


One dark day the trees began a trumpet sound,
trumpet sound
We sat listening patiently, the sky was near
and I felt the trembling motion
we ran out to see the future, from the ground
from the ground
from the ground
from the ground
people died and people risen everywhere
We held hands and made a circle
quietly from the ground
quietly from the ground
We returned and set the table, by the door

"Mr. Frosty Man"

"Mr. Frosty Man"


It's time to tango with the frisky, frosty Frosty Man
He's got a temperature of negative degrees again
He likes ice cream and Yo La Tengo with the jammin' pants
You got to cool it with the hipster costly Frosty Man
He's chillin', illin', thrillin' with the Mr. Saucy Pants
He likes to keep it real, he likes to talk a little sense
He's got a friend called Coolio, Vanilla Ice, and Ice Cube
Banana split and frozen pie and Mr. Frosty Pants

Mr. Frosty Man
Frosty, Frosty, Frosty, Frosty
Frosty Man

Don't get his goat, he just might melt, and then he gets all mean
When summer comes, he sits beside the air conditioning
But, Mr. Frosty, don't be bossy, winter's coming soon
And when it snows again, Frosty

"My Oh My"
(performed by Sisyphus)



[Serengeti:]
Can you resist the urge of going on a shopping splurge?
Coming home with hats and a kit to make curd
This is how you curdle the shot like Steve Urkel
There's books by Studs Terkel and pet store gerbils
"This place used to buy and sell turtles"
T-shirt girdle tight, look good to feel right
Feel bad? Blame life, peace Steve Ryan light
You're the light, you're the light, you're the light

[Hook - Sufjan:]
My oh my oh my oh my

Yo enough about me though, you got a favorite game show?
Mine is called "I'm involved"
But nothing that the Manic Pixie Dream Girl can't solve
Nothing that's organic is impossible to dissolve
[?] uplifts millions
Go back to school and expand on your brilliance
You can spring back and say shit, I'm resilient
I'm crocodillian, catch me underwater
By the water buffalo and feed the alligator daughter
Yeah, great father, face hairy like Chewbacca
Taught the Dim Mak form from Senzo Tanaka
Don't use Binoca or chew gum either
Drink a lot of milk like my name was Ted Cleaver
Innocent America, dreams do change on Kane like Erica
Into Pine Valley before I jumped onto Caprica
Me and the wife and the kids up in the Acura
Happy as a bug in a rug, a clam in a dog
A pig in a log, a frog in a shark
Happy as the freedom of Yosemite National Park [?]
Ping-pong, Ding-dong rules of rap

[Hook]

[Serengeti:]
Give it more than you can take
Give it more than you can take
Let's dance
Let's dance
Let's dance
Let's-

[Serengeti:]
Do you have a favorite game show?
I like Jeopardy, I like Wheel of Fortune
I like Facts of Life
Let's Make a Deal, Let's Make a Deal
S' and S' and S' and S'
S' and S' and S' and S'
Show me your S', don't care what your sex is
S' and S' and S' and S'
Show me your S', don't care what your sex is
(Let's dance, let's dance)
S' confesses the message is blessing
Show me your S' don't care what your sex is
S' and S' and S' and S'
S' confesses the message is blessing

"Niagara Falls"

"Niagara Falls"


We had friends downstate
When we drove we went to Canada
If we were asked to stay
I was brave
I was brave
I was brave

From the top of the mountain
You could see
Lake Erie
Niagara Falls
From the top of the fountain
I could see farther than anyone

Driving through the line
We pretend we are from Africa
If we fall far behind
I am brave
I am brave
I am brave

"No Man's Land"

"No Man's Land"


Up in the highest of heights
O'Hara blinks and fights
This land is yours; this land is mine.
I see the Captain in red,
and Cairo at his head.
This land is yours; this land is mine.

The lightning over the park,
the waters--brash and dark
We take a swim; we take a swim.
I never meant to escape
the carpet and the trade
This land is yours; this land is mine.

And when I make up my mind
I change it all the time
I take it back; I take it back.
The numbers over the dam,
Jo Davies and the band,
I count them out; I count them out.

There was a car in the bay
by the boat that swept and swayed
Whoever you are in the light
in the water that we made
I'm counting it out
I'm counting it out
I'm working it out inside
I'm counting it out
to the floor

The ferry hatches Moline
Panola Beauty Queen
She takes a bow; she takes a bow.
In Charles, we climb the hill
and Danville window sill
I take it back; I take it back.
My sister she counts the bars,
the Macon county cars,
She takes a bow; she takes a bow.

The Mississippi amends
the Carver and the bends
This land is yours; this land is mine.
My brother punches my ear.
The injured ivory deer
I call my dad; I call my dad.
We skip inside of the store
the Mason winter door
This land is yours; this land is mine.

There was a car in the bay
by the boat that swept and swayed
Whoever you are in the light
in the water that we made
I'm holding your hand by the shore
With our collars pulled up tight
I'm counting it out
I'm counting it out
I'm working it out inside
I'm counting it out

(This land is not your land
For the right hand takes what it can,
ransacks with the mad man.
For this land is not yours or mine to have.
This land was made for the good of itself.)

"No Shade In The Shadow Of The Cross"

"No Shade In The Shadow Of The Cross"


Now that I fell into your arms
My only lover
Give out to give in
I search for the capsule I lost

Drag me to hell
In the valley of The Dalles
Like my mother
Give wings to a stone
It's only the shadow of a cross

I slept on my back
In the shade of the meadowlark
Like a champion
Get drunk to get laid
I take one more hit when you depart

I'll drive that stake through the center of my heart
Lonely vampire
Inhaling it's fire
I'm chasing the dragon too far

There's blood on that blade
Fuck me, I'm falling apart
My assassin
Like Casper the ghost
There's no shade in the shadow of the cross
