1. It's Begining to Look a Lot Like Christmas
Lagu ini populer dinyanyiklan oleh Michael Buble. Dirilis pada 2011, Meredith Willson merupakan penulis lagunya.
Berikut Liriknya!
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look at the five and ten, it's glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes that glow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door
A pair of Hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that'll talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again
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
It's the sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that'll make 'em ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door
Sure, it's Christmas once more
2. Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree
Lagu ini dipopulerkan oleh Brenda Lee pada tahun 1964. Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree/Rockin ‘mengelilingi pohon Natal:
Lirik:
At the christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Rockin' around the christmas tree
Let the christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling
You will get a sentimental feeling
When you hear
Voices singing: “let's be jolly,
Deck the halls with boughs of holly”
Rockin' around the christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin' merrily
In the new old fashioned way
3. Jingle Bell Rock
Lagu ini ditulis oleh Jim Boothe dan Joe Bill. Kemudian dipopulerkan oleh Bobby Helms. Lagu ini sudah hits sejak 1957.
Lirik:
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell rock
