Jingle Bell Mad

The trick or treating's done
Thanksgiving hasn't begun
It don't matter anyway
No one has time or thoughts for turkey day
The radio changes soon
It's playing a different tune
The snow has not even come
That white noise is good enough for some
I'm going jingle bell mad
It's something I've never had
I'm going jingle bell mad
This might make me real sad
I'm going jingle bell mad
It's time to tell mom and dad
I'm going jingle bell mad
This thing's a getting real bad
Then Christmas day is here
We're all feeling the cheer
But just consider one thing
Tomorrow's the end of our holiday fling
We're throwing trees away
We're eating healthy today
But now I don't want it to go
Tomorrow we're expecting our first snow
I'm staying jingle bell mad
It's something I've never had
I'm staying jingle bell mad
This might make me real sad
I'm staying jingle bell mad
It's time to tell mom and dad
I'm staying jingle bell mad
This thing's a gotten real bad
We're staying jingle bell mad
It's something we've never had
We're staying jingle bell mad
This might make us real sad
We're staying jingle bell mad
It's time to tell mom and dad
We're staying jingle bell mad
This thing's a getting real bad
We're staying jingle bell mad
It's something we've never had
We're staying jingle bell mad
This might make us real sad
We're staying jingle bell mad
It's time to tell mom and dad
We're staying jingle bell mad
This thing's a getting real bad

The Power Is Out
03:47
|

We saw the flicker before it went out
Mommy tried the switch it failed I shout
What will we do?
This can't be true!
The house is in the dark
With our whole avenue
Don't cry daddy will make it right
We don't need the screens on this special night
He went downstairs
Grabbed a box by the chairs
He gave me one and said this prayer
It's Christmas Eve and the streets are dark
We'll light the match and create the spark
We're going to feel the magic tonight
It's Christmas Eve and the power is out
Let your candle shine throughout the night
Daddy I see but I'm getting cold
Son you forgot what you've just been told
You have a light
To make this right
What could you do with your candle so bright
So to the hearth I ran to see
If Saint Nick was in the chimney
No bark from the dog
Let's drink some nog
And with these candles we'll light this log
It's Christmas Eve and the streets are dark
We'll light the match and create the spark
We're going to feel the magic tonight
It's Christmas Eve and the power is out
Let your candle shine throughout the night

Cold Christmas

Another Christmas has come
My children are so happy
They're in my home waiting by the fire
Waiting for their daddy to come home
So I left the party early
Got inside my car
Turned on the radio
And listened to the song of Jesus
While on my way home
I saw something kind of sad
A man on a bench
He soaks in a stench
In his lonely trench
He ain't got no friends
So I rolled down my window to wish him a happy Christmas
But then to me he slurred
I didn't catch a word
But from his eyes I heard
That Christmas can be so lonely
When you've no family
When you've no friends
And the only snowflakes I see
Are the tears that I cry
Such a cold Christmas
And the only snowflakes I see
Are the tears that I cry
Such a cold Christmas
I got out of my car and I opened the door for him
I said come with me love's deportee
I'll set you free
I'll take you home
And we drove on deep into the woods
And I held him tight
He put up no fight
He went home this night
Christmas can be so lonely
When you've no family
When you've no friends
And the only snowflakes I see
Are the tears that I cry
Such a cold Christmas
Another Christmas has come
My children are so happy
I look up to the stars above
And a snowflake falls gently in my eye

O Holy Night
05:55

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 appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night Oh holy night
Oh night divin
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the wise men from Orient land
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!

Christmas Down Under
04:17
|

I tell ya I got to take a break
Probably bout time I put down this rake
Every day sweatin' raking all these coals
I think for one day I'll give a give a break to these lost souls
They'll sing Ring a ling a ling a ling a ling jing jing jing
Ring a ling a ling a ling a ling jing jing jing
It's a little tiring being mad all the while
Spose that Jesus was right in his style
I've grown old now and getting tired of hate
I think for one day I'll give a holiday if aint too late
So it's Christmas down under
I'll let there be love
A break from all the lightning and thunder
It's Christmas down under
I'll let the damned sing
But just for one day so they don't wonder
Guy came to me, he had made a mistake
Said don't God love me for heaven's sake?
I guess killing dogs is just below the line
Cuz other sins less serious, well to God then it seems just fine
We want to sing Ring a ling a ling a ling a ling jing jing jing
Ring a ling a ling a ling a ling jing jing jing
Can't you make it a little nicer round here?
Can we get some brandy for some holiday cheer?
I said I'll give you one day, fly like angels in the sky
But not for long we need a bad boss and I gotta be that guy
So it's Christmas down under
I'll let there be love
A break from all the lightning and thunder
It's Christmas down under
I'll let the damned sing
But just for one day so they don't wonder
So it's Christmas down under
I'll let there be love
A break from all the lightning and thunder
It's Christmas down under
I'll let the damned sing
But just for one day so they don't wonder
But just for one day
But just for one day
Just Christmas day
Just Christmas day

Go, Tell It
04:01

Go, tell it on that mountain boy
Over those hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on that mountain boy
That Jesus Christ is born
The shepherds feared and trembled
When, lo! Above the Earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth
Go, tell it on that mountain boy
Over those hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on that mountain son
That Jesus Christ is born
Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent us all salvation
That blessed Christmas morn
Get out there and go
Go, tell it on that mountain boy
Over those hills and everywhere
I said Go, tell it on that mountain son
That Jesus Christ is born
While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a Holy light
Go, get out there and tell it on that mountain boy
Over those hills now and everywhere
I said Go, tell it on that mountain son
That Jesus Christ is
That Jesus Christ is
That Jesus Christ is born
He is born tonight

Kiddie Christmas
05:30
|
|||
|
As I stare at the tree on this peaceful snowy night
I can read the years on the ornaments in dim light
My mind goes back in time to the Christmas of '95
Oh how I want it back, being a child and feeling alive
But the child grew old and the night lost it's wonder
That spirit of Christmas seemingly must have went under
Each passing year I've tried to listen for the silver bell
I just want to hear it ring to break this reminiscent spell
I want kiddie Christmas again
I don't want to sleep on this eve
Why did the joy have to leave
I want kiddie Christmas again
But then the father above sent an answer to my prayer
I was lucky enough to receive the angel he could spare
A baby sent from high revealing the meaning of this day
I won't ever let you go here with me in my heart you'll stay
I love watching you gaze up at the angel on our tree
Your eyes entranced with the beauty that you see
But I don't stare at her anymore, I look to the angel that I hold
And you've brought the magic back, no more Christmas's of cold
It's kiddie Christmas again
I can't fall asleep on this eve
This year the joy won't to leave
Because it's kiddie Christmas again
As you grow old I want you to remember
To please find a way to keep the magic of December
Don't ever grow too old, don't ever lose the child
And you'll have kiddie Christmas again
You won't fall asleep on this eve
I hope that the joy won't leave
You'll have Christmas again

Empty Sleigh
04:40

Christmas Day is near
The carollers I hear
Singing songs of Jesus
It's that time of year
I've gathered every toy
We're ready to deploy
It's the biggest shipment yet
My oh my oh boy
I don't know bout all those folks who wish away the fun
Screaming keep the Christ in Christmas you disrespect the One
It's not about the toys and things I drop off on this night
It's more about to teach them that giving's the delight
When the night is done
The sleigh is empty
But my soul is full
I don't want to cause a fus
But what's the deal with us
This mockery of me
I must with you discuss
You see Jesus is my friend
And the deliveries I send
Are the ways I spread His love
It's a means to an end
I don't know bout all those folks who wish away the fun
Screaming keep the Christ in Christmas you disrespect the One
It's not about the toys and things I drop off on this night
It's more about to teach them that giving's the delight
When the night is done
The sleigh is empty
But my soul is full
So next year when I'm round
I'd like to see on the ground
Twinkling little lights
Glowing snowmen all abound
And while staring at that light
You'll find deep in that sight
That ray of hope redeems
The lost soul on this night
When the night is done
The bag was empty
But my soul is full

We Three Kings
04:23
|
|||
|
We three kings of Orient are;
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
Born a King on Bethlehem's plain,
Gold I bring to crown him again,
King forever, ceasing never,
Over us all to reign.
O star of wonder, star of light,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.
Frankincense to offer have I;
Incense owns a Deity nigh;
Prayer and praising, voices raising,
Worshiping God on high.
Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
O star of wonder, star of light,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.
