 Song Lyrics -> Christmas Island
Christmas Island by Lyle Moraine  Let’s get away from sleigh bells, let’s get away from snow Let’s make a break some Christmas, Dear, I know the place to go How’d ya like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island? How’d ya like to spend the holiday away across the sea? How’d ya like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island? How’d ya like to hang a stocking on a great big coconut tree? How’d ya like to stay up late, like the islanders do? Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island You will never stray for everyday Your Christmas dreams come true How’d ya like to stay up late like the islanders do? Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island You will never stray, for everyday Your Christmas dreams come true On Christmas Island your dreams come true Jingle Bells by J.S. Pierpont Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to run in a one-horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way Oh, what fun on Jah’s cool run in a one-horse open sleigh We’re dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh And over the fields we go a-laughin’ all the way The bells on bob-tail ring, they’re making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to run in a one-horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way Oh, what fun on Jah’s cool run in a one-horse open sleigh A day or two ago I thought I’d take a run to Port Antonio I be cruisin’ in the sun The radio was loud, the chicken jerked and fried And all I had to do that day was drive on the left side Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to run in a one-horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way Oh, what fun on Jah’s cool run in a one-horse open sleigh A Sailor’s Christmas by Jimmy Buffett and Roger Guth Sail on the horizons gotta landfall rendezvous Captain steers a well-known course, he steers straight & true As he trims the sheets, he sings a song He learned on boats and bars Sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour ‘neath the stars He’s traveled through the doldrums, typhoons and hurricanes He’s logged a million soggy miles with water on his brain But Christmas is the season better suited for dry land He’ll tell some lies, meet some spies And dance barefoot in the sand The sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour on the hook Caye con les, no work today, let’s shell the ol’ log book The waterfront is reveling, the season has begun The sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour having fun. There’s a party down at Le Select, music, rum and cheers Faces in the shadows, God, I haven’t seen for years A mast & shroud fill with lights ‘Neath the waning of the moon They’re an airy celebration in the realm of King Neptune. The sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour on the hook Caye con les, no work today, let’s shell the ol’ log book The waterfront is reveling, the season has begun The sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour having fun. Jesus was a fisherman who walked upon the sea The North Pole is ocean’s remote frozen balcony The continents keep drifting but the children sing and play ‘Cause nothing really matters, after all it’s Christmas day The sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour on the hook. Vaye con les, no work today, he read it in a book The waterfront is reveling, the season has begun A sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour having fun A sailor spends his Christmas in a harbour having fun Havin’ fun… havin’ fun…havin’ fun Happy Xmas (The War Is Over) by John Lenon, Yoko Ono And so this is Christmas, and what have you done?

Another year older, a new one just begun And so, happy Christmas, I hope you have fun The near and the dear ones, the old and the young A merry, merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Let’s hope it’s a good one, without any fears Up On The Housetop Up on the housetop reindeer paws, out jumps good ol’ Santa Claus Down thru the chimney with lots of toys All for the little ones, Christmas joy Ho ho ho, who wouldn’t go, Ho ho ho, who wouldn’t go-o Up on the housetop, click, click, click Down thru the chimney with good Saint Nick First comes the stocking of little Will Oh, just see what a glorious fill Here is a hammer and lots of tacks Also a ball and a whip that cracks Ho ho ho, who wouldn’t go, Ho ho ho, who wouldn’t go-o Up on the housetop, click, click, click Down thru the chimney with good Saint Nick Ho ho ho, who wouldn’t go, Ho ho ho, who wouldn’t go-o Up on the housetop, click, click, click Down thru the chimney with good Saint Nick Mele Kalikimaka by Alex Anderson Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day That’s the island greeting that we send to you From the land where palm trees sway Here we know that Xmas will be green and bright Sun will shine by day and all the stars at night Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii’s way To say Merry Christmas to you.
