Jungle Bells

Chorus:
Jungle bells jungle bells
Santa's coming soon
He leaving lots of presents
Beneath the jungle moon
Jungle bells Jungle bells
Santa's on his way
All the birds and animals
Are coming out to play
the piranha will stop swimming
When the cieba tree is trimmed
When Santa slides on down the vine
The frogs will come to him
anacondas will be dancing
When they hear the reindeer prancing
Tarantulas advancing
Because its christmas time
Repeat chorus
The funny spider monkey
Is hanging upside down
Watch him flip his tail
when Santa comes around
The sky is turning color
With blue and gold mccaws
The birds are on the lookout
for mr.Santa Claus
Repeat Chorus
The spider caterpillar
Is hiding in a leaf
leaf otter ants would eat him up
But they're still munching on a wreath
Grey winged trumpeters are flying
But the jaguar is abiding
There are no children crying
Because its christmas time

The rain is falling
The fires are quenched
Forests are breathing
Foilage is drenched
Better cloak your children
In warmer clothing
Autumn will be leaving soon
Christmas is fast approaching
Take off your masks
Walk away from fear
Halloween is over
December is here
The last of leaves are fallen
Ice and snow encroaching
Dont give up on hope just yet
Christmas is fast approaching
Christmas evening shadows
Stream across the sky
Children at the windows
Look for reindeer that fly
Hear the Yuletide music
Fill the morning air
Christmas is fast approaching

Hey There, Mr. Snowflake

Hey There Mr. Snowflake
Are you a tear fallen out of a cloud?
Hey There Mr. Snowflake
You freeze as you fall to the ground
What frightened you so in the heavens
That caused you to fall through the gates?
Hey There Mr. Snowflake
I watch you fall as I stand here and wait
Hey There Mr. Snowflake
My tears are frozen on my face
Hey There Mr. Snowflake
May I follow you to a better place?
The crystals have fallen from your teardrops
Now you are a piece of the snow
Hey There Mr. Snowflake
You are here. Tell me where can I go?

Christmas, 1941

Kelly was knitting clothes for the baby
We were hoping for a daughter but would have welcomed a son
A wind from the east blew the sea into our faces
That was Christmas, 1941
The nativity scene was freshly decorated
The lights and the stars were already hung
The chimney was wild with wise men and angels
That was Christmas, 1941
Some people never see the ocean
Some people never taste the snow
There are those who have seen it all
God help them forget what they know
Ive been to Italy Ive been to France
I cant go back What's done is done
But if I could go back I would be kissing you
Like I should have been kissing you
and I've always been kissing you
Like i was kissing you on Christmas, 1941

Im rolling through the jungle on the amazon river
are these sleigh bells I hear
There aint no reindeer flying through this valley
And it never snows on Christmas around here
Some say the 25th day of December
Is the hottest day of the year
I don’t see any children building snowmen
It never snows on Christmas around here
Candy canes and silver lanes
Marshmallows and mistletoe
Ill be barbecuing on the beach on Christmas eve
Theres no such thing as a sleigh ride on the snow
There is no jack frost
No roasting chestnuts
There is no winter wonderland
Who put my Christmas stocking
Up above the fireplace
some things I will never understand
the only pictures we know of Christmas
come from the northern hemisphere
but santa should be wearing a sombrero
Because it never snows on Christmas around here
it never snows on Christmas around here
it never snows on Christmas around here
tell santa claus ill see him later
when hes down with the alligators
because it never snows on Christmas around here

if you fly disunited airlines they might drop you in the middle of the air
if you crash on teamsters highway they will mop you up but who will care
so im gonna ride ride the Christmas train
heading east out of Lisbon around the world then back again
gonna bring love to the loveless kindness to the cruel
put halo on the hopeless when they learn the golden rule
gonna bring food to the hungry clothing to the cold
heres another chance even if your souls been sold
get on board ride the Christmas train
you know when its coming I don’t have to explain
children all are happy because it Christmas day
jesus wont be coming back because he never went away
so come along ride the Christmas train
after the flood it brings the sunshine into the desert it brings rain
gonna but up the battlefields and plant some apple seeds
in these patures there is plenty to fill everybods needs
if we just ride the Christmas train
jeaing east out of Lisbon around the world then back to spain
