Winter Wonderland
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
​
In the meadow, we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are you married?" We'll say, "No man"
But you can do the job when you're in town
Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
We'll face unafraid, the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow, we can build a snowman
And pretend that he’s a circus clown.
We’ll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman,
Until the other kiddies knock him down.
When it snows, ain’t it thrillin’
Tho your nose gets a chillin?
We’ll frolic and play, the eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland
Wal-king in a wi-nter wo-nder-la______nd!
Peace, Peace
PART I
Peace, peace peace on earth and good will to all.
This is a time for joy, this is a time for love.
Now let us all sing together of peace, peace, peace on earth.

PART 2 (Labeled Part III in sheet music)
Lu Lu Lu Luuuu... (Silent Night Melody sung on Lu)
Pinecones and Holly Berries
PART 1
Pine cones and Holly Berries,
Popcorn for you, apples for me
Red striped candy, nutcracker handy,
Kettle a-bubbling holiday tea.
Snow clouds hang low and threatening.
Maybe it won't, praying it may
The brightest fireplace glows in every face
waiting for Christmas day!
​
waiting for Christmas day!
PART 2
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,
the sturday kind that doesn't mind the snow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas,
Soon the bell will start.
And the thing that will make them ring
is the carols that you sing
Right within your heart,
Right within you heart.
Snow is Falling Still
PART 1
Softly the snowflakes fall to the ground,
Spinning and twirling and dancing around.
The hills are blanketed with drifts of white.
Oh, what a calm and peaceful sight!
Softly the snowflakes fall to the ground,
They never make a sound.
​
​
PART 2
Still, still, still,
as the snow gently falls all around.
The world is calm and all is bright
On this peaceful, silent night.
Still, still, still,
As the snow gently falls all around.
Frosty Hand Jive
F, I said F-R, I said F-R-O, I said F-R-O-S, F-R-O-S-T-Y,
Doin’ the Frosty Hand Jive!
Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul
With a corn cob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal X X
Frosty the Snowman is a fairytale they say
He was made of snow, but the children know how he came to life one day X X
There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head he began to dance around X X
Man that Frosty sure is tough, watch that Frosty strut his stuff
Frosty’s having lots of fun, but keep him out of the blazing sun!
Thumpety, thump, thump, Thumpety, thump, thump, look at Frosty go, Frosty!
Thumpety, thump, thump, Thumpety, thump, thump, over the hills of snow, Frosty!
Frosty the Snowman had to hurry on his way
But he waved good-bye, saying, "Don't you cry I'll be back again some day!"
F, I said F-R, I said F-R-O, I said F-R-O-S, F-R-O-S-T-Y, Doin’ the Frosty Hand Ji-ive, Hand Jive!
