That Old Rockin Chair
Mama, words can't express
How I feel about you
Especially at this Christmastime
You went out of your way,
Thoughtful gifts that you gave
A love of giving, you passed on to us
Christmastime, Lord I love you
Sometimes life just doesn't seem fair
Christmastime, oh I miss you
I still see you in that old rockin' chair
You were always there for me
Through all of your life
I still miss our telephone calls
The jokes that you told
And the laughter we shared
Oh Lord, that's what I miss the most
Christmastime, Lord I love you
Sometimes life just doesn't seem fair
Christmastime, oh I miss you
Sittin' in that old rockin' chair
Bridge:
Lord, keep her safe in your arms
Right where she belongs
'Cause I know she's in heaven
Mama, you're finally home
Oh, you're finally home
Christmastime, Lord I love you
Sometimes life just doesn't seem fair
Christmastime, oh I miss you
Sittin' in that old rockin' chair
I still see you in that old rockin' chair
Merry Christmas
Always know that I'm thinking of you
Merry Christmas
Mama, I will always love you

Christmastime
We watch the children playing
Beside the christmas tree
The presents are wrapped up
Its beautiful and secretly the gifts still hide
The fun awaits for you inside
Christmastime has come
Therell be toys for everyone
Cause christmastime has come for you
I remember dreaming
Wishing hoping praying for this day
Now I sit and watch them
The little ones I love so excited by the wait
Christmastime has come
Therell be toys for everyone
Cause christmastime has come for you
And now the word is given
Its time to peek inside
Its time to let the toys out
So anxious for your look of joy and delight
Waiting for just your surprise
Christmastime has come
Therell be toys for everyone
Cause christmastime has come for you

Do They Know Its Christmas
(bob geldof & midge ure)
Performed by band aid
Recorded on november 25, 1986
Its christmastime
Theres no need to be afraid
At christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at christmastime
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At christmastime its hard, but when youre having fun
Theres a world outside your window
And its a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the christmas bells that ring there are the clanging
Chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God its them instead of you
And there wont be snow in africa this christmastime
The greatest gift theyll get this year is life
(oooh) where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow
Do they know its christmastime at all?
(heres to you) raise a glass for everyone
(heres to them) underneath that burning sun
Do they know its christmastime at all?
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know its christmastime again
Feed the world
Let them know its christmastime again
Repeat then fade

We Just Go Nuts At Christmastime
Up the driveway, down the walk
Oh, janets hair is like her moms
Whos got her own, but acts like somethings
Different from the eyebrows up
Seems like only yesterday
Our d-i-v-o-r-c-e
I love you both and yuletide is pure
H-e-double-l for me
And we just go nuts at christmastime
Thats when everything falls apart
We just go nuts at christmastime
But its another year before were together again
Hi, this is john of they might be giants
As youre driving down the highway at 100 miles an hour with your head wagging out the window,
We urge you, please, put down the phone
We just go nuts at christmastime
Thats when everything falls apart
We just go nuts at christmastime
But its another year before were together

2000 Miles
Shes gone 2000 miles
Its very far
The snow came down
Gets colder day by day
I miss her
I hear children singing
Felt like Christmastime
In these frozen and silent nights
Sometimes in a dream... you appear
Outside under the purple sky
Diamonds in the snow... sparkle
Our hearts were singing
It felt like Christmastime
2000 miles
Is very far through the snow
Ill think of you
Wherever you go
2000 miles
Its very far through the snow
Ill think of you
Whenever you go
Shes gone 2000 miles
Its very far
The snow came falling down
Gets colder day by day
I miss you
I hear people singing
It felt be christmastime

Someday At Christmas
Someday at christmas men wont be boys
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
One warm december our hearts will see
A world where men are free
Someday at christmas therell be no wars
When we have learned what christmas is for
When we have found what lifes really worth
Therell be peace on earth
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at christmastime
Someday at christmas well see a man
No hungry children, no empty hand
One happy morning people will share
Our world where people care
Someday at christmas therell be no tears
All men are equal and no men have fears
One shinning moment my heart ran away
From our world today
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at christmastime
Someday at christmas man will not fail
Take hope because your love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at christmastime
Someday at christmastime

I Miss You Mama
(hendrix, pilson, parrish)
Morning comes
Still got you
On my mind
I just cant leave
These memories
Far behind
But mama
I just cant
Let you go
Theres so much
I would like
You to know
I miss you mama
And theres nothing I can do
I want to say I love you
I miss you mama
And I dont know what to do
But I know you feel it too
Yes, you do
Even though
There were days
That you cried
You always knew
I was there
By your side
And mama
Now we all
Must be strong
To let you know
That your love
Will carry on
I miss you mama
And theres nothing I can do
I wan to say I love you
I miss you mama
And I dont know what to do
But I know you feel it too
Oh, I miss you
When Im lost
Your spirit showed the way
And together well climb
Yes, well climb
I miss you mama
And theres nothing I can do
I want to say I love you
I miss you mama
And I dont know what to do
But I know you feel it too
I miss you mama
And theres nothing I can do
But I know you feel it too
Oh, I miss you
Oh, I want to say
I love you

A Baby Just Like You
The season is upon us now
A time for gifts and giving
And as the year draws to its close
I think about my living
The christmastime when I was young
The magic and the wonder
But colors dull and candles dim
And dark my standing under
Oh little angel, shining light
Youve set my soul to dreaming
Youve given back my joy in life
You ve filled me with new meaning
A savior king was born that day
A baby just like you
And as the magi came with gifts
Ive come with my gift too
That peace on earth fills up your time
That brotherhood surrounds you
That you may know the warmth of love
And wrap it all around you
Its just a wish, a dream Im told
From days when I was young
Merry christmas little zachary
Merry christmas evryone

Berkeley Woman
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the farewell andromeda album, and has also been released on the john denver album.
I saw a berkley woman
Sittin in her rockin chair
A dulcimer in her lap
A feather in her hair
Her breasts swayed freely
With the rhythm of the rockin chair
She was a-sittin and a-singin and a-swayin
Her cheeks were red I declare
Twas hard to believe
What my eyes showed me then
The colour in her cheeks
Was just her natural skin
She wore no makeup
To make her look that way
She was a natural mama with the red cheeks
What more can I say
Well I finally realised
There was hunger in my stare
In my mind I was swayin
With the woman in the rockin chair
But the lady I was livin with
Was standin right by my side
She saw my stare and she saw my hunger
And lord it made her cry
So with anger on her face
Yes and the hurt in her eyes
She scratched me and she clawed me
She screamed and she cried
oh you dont give me near
All the lovin that you should
Yet youre ready to go and lay with her
Youre just no damn good
Well I guess shes probably right
Oh I guess Im probably wrong
I guess shes not too far away
She hasnt been gone very long
And I guess we could get together
And try it one more time
But I know that wanderlust would come again
Shed only wind up a-cryin
Well now youve heard my story
Plain as the light of day
Its hard to feel guilty for lovin the ladies
Thats all I gotta say
cept a woman is the sweetest fruit
That God ever put on the vine
Id no more love just one kinda woman
Than drink only one kinda wine

Christmas Memories Of Weird Al Yankovic
Hello, this is weird al yankovic.
You know, some of my favorite memories are those of christmastime. I still remember when I was a little boy, just waiting for the big day. mom would be cooking up a mess of boysenberry and tunafish burritos for our big christmas dinner, and dad would be decorating the tree with little bits of spam. and then, the big day would finally arrive. Id stay up all night and wait for santa, a-and when he finally showed up, wed all hold his hands down in the waffle maker until he promised to give us everything we wanted! ah, yeah, those were the days. well, merry christmas everybody, and, lets do lunch.

Old Blue Chair
There's a blue rockin' chair
Sittin' in the sand
Weathered by the storms
And well-oiled hands
It sways back and forth
With the help of the winds
And seems to always be there like an old trusted friend
I've read a lot of books
Wrote a few songs
Looked at my life where it's goin' where it's gone
I've seen the world through a bus winshield
But nothing compares
To the way that I see it
To the way that I see it
To the way that I see it when I sit in that Old Blue Chair
From that chair I've caught
A few fish and some rays
And I've watched boats sail
In and out of cinnamon bays
I let go of a lover
That took a piece of my heart
Prayed many times for forgiveness
And a brand new start
I've read a lot of books
Wrote a few songs
Looked at my life where it's goin' where it's gone
I've seen the world trough a bus winshield
But nothing compares
To the way that I see it
To the way that I see it
To the way that I see it when I sit in that Old Blue Chair
That chair was my bead one new year's night
When I passed out from too much
Malibu and Dye
And I woke up to a hundred mosquito bites I swear
Got em' all sittin' right there in that Old Blue Chair
There's a blue rockin' chair
Sittin' in the sands
Weathered by the storms
And well-oiled hands

Rockin In The U. S. A.
Im flyin in a 747, Im passing by the pearly gates
And Im comin real close to heaven
And my guitar just cant wait, it just cant wait
In france really had the chance, yeah, there was plenty romance
Ive been to england too, there wasnt much to do
One thing I know is true, what I would rather do is
Rockin in the u.s.a.
Nowhere else Id rather stay
Rockin and a-rollin, rockin and a-rollin
Rockin in the u.s.a.
Germany was really neat, just wasnt much to eat
And denmark was great, but I just cant wait, rockin in the u.s.a.
Rockin in the u.s.a. (rockin in the u.s.a.)
Nowhere else Id rather stay (rockin in the u.s.a.)

The Chair
Grandma’s chair is rockin’, but she ain’t sittin’ there,
so who’s that sittin’ in grandma’s favourite chair?
And whose is that shadow standing by the wall?
Could it be our grandma..? ‘No, not at all.’
I’ve no idea whose shadow that could be,
it’s certainly not mine and you’re behind me.
Who is that sittin’ where grandma sat each night?
and could it be the shadow is a trick of the light?
Could it be our granddad standing by the wall?
‘No, it’s not granddad, he wasn’t that tall.
The chair’s still rockin’, but the shadow has gone.
The chair has stopped; they’ve both moved on.’

Silver Bells
(Writers: Jay Livingston, Ray Evans)
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks,
Dressed in holiday style,
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas.
Children laughing, people passing,
Meeting smile after smile,
And on every street corner you hear.
Silver bells, silver bells,
It's Christmastime in the city.
Hear the bells go ding-a-ling, hear them ring,
Soon it will be Christmas day.
Strings of street lights, even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures.
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch,
This is Santa's big scene,
And above all this bustle you hear.
Silver bells, silver bells,
It's Christmastime in the city.
Hear the bells go ding-a-ling, hear them ring,
Soon it will be Christmas day...

Just A-Sittin' And A-Rockin'
I don't go out walking
I ain't for no talking
My baby's done left me
Just a sittin' and a rockin'
If i had been scheming
Instead of just dreaming
He'd never have left me
Just a sittin' and a rockin'
Sittin all day without holding my baby
Makes me so blue and sad
If he don't hurry and come back
It's a cinch to drive me mad
Now if i don't find him
I hope you'll remind him
That i'm staying where he left me
Just a sittin' and a rockin'
All day
Don't go out a walking
And i for no talking
My baby's done left me
Just a sittin' and a rockin'
All day
If i had been scheming
Instead of just dreaming
He'd never have left me
Just a sittin' and a rockin'
Sittin all day without holding my baby
I miss my lonely papa
If he don't hurry and come back
It's a cinch to, i'll blow my toppa
Now if i don't find him
I hope you'll remind him
That i'm staying where he left me
Just a sittin' and a rockin'
Rockin' and a sittin'
Sittin' and a rockin'
All day
