Winter Wonderland
Sung by Rusty and Frisky

Rusty: Over the ground lies a mental of white,

A heaven of diamonds shine down below the night.

Two hearts are thrilling in spite of the chilling weather.

Frisky: Love knows season,

love knows no climb.

Romance can blossom any old time.

Hear in the open we're walking and hoping together.

Rusty: Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?

In the lane, snow is glistening.

A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight.

Walking in a winter wonderland.

Frisky: Gone away is the old critter

Here to stay is a new one.

He sings a love song as we go along. (Rusty: Aaaaw...)

Walking in a winter wonderland.

Rusty: In the meadow, kids can build a snowman.

Then pretend that he is Parson Brown

He'll say, "Are you married?"

They say, "No man"

But they can do the job when they're in town.

Frisky: Later on, we'll conspire

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid, the plans that we've made

Walking in a winter wonderland.

Rusty: Gone away is the old critter

Here to stay is a new one.

She sings a love song as we go along. (Frisky: Ahhh...)

Walking in a winter wonderland.

Rusty: 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 youngans knock him down.

Frisky: When it snows, ain't a thrillin'?

Rusty: Though my nose, get's a chillin'?

Both: We're frolic and play the Chucklewood way

Walkin' in a winter wonderland.

Frosty The Snowman
Sung by Dennis with Sarah, Lisa and Cody

Sarah: Mommy! Look what we made outside.

[Stacy walks out of the cave and sees a snowman]

Stacy: Is that a snowman?

Lisa: Yes it is.

Stacy: What should we call him?

Cody: Gourmad?

Sarah: Nah!

Lisa: Randal?

Sarah and Cody: Nope.

Sarah: How about Frosty?

Lisa: Frosty! I think that will work! How about you, Cody?

Cody: Frosty The Snowman!

[The three youngans cheer]

Dennis: Frosty The Snowman

What a happy jolly soul.

With a corncob pipe and a button nose

and two eyes made out of coal.

Frosty The Snowman

is a fairytale they say.

He was made of snow and the children know

how he came to life one day.

[not singing] Hmm. I think something's missing. Maybe a hat. [goes into the attic and finds an old hat]

[singing] There must have been some magic

in one of my old hats I’ve found.

But when I placed it on his head...

[The snowman laughs]

Dennis: He began to dance around!

Frosty The Snowman

was alive as he could be.

And the children say he could laugh and play

Just the same as you and me.

[Suddenly, the sun rises up]

Cody: Oh no! The weather's getting warm.

Lisa: We got to get him to somewhere before he melts.

Sarah: Daddy, Frosty's starting to melt. Can we take him to someplace cold?

Dennis: Yes, children. But hurry back home!

[singing] Frosty the snowman

Knew the sun was hot that day

So he said, "let's run and we'll have some fun before I melt away."

Down to the suburb,

with a broomstick in his hand.

Running here and there all around the square

saying "Catch me if you can!"

He led them down the streets of town

Right to the traffic cop

And he only paused a moment when

He heard him holler "STOP!"

Frosty the snowman

Had to hurry on his way

But he waved goodbye, saying

"Don't you cry, I'll be back again someday."

Sarah, Lisa and Cody: Thumpty-thump-thump.

Thumpty-thump-thump.

Dennis: Look at Frosty go!

Sarah, Lisa and Cody: Thumpty-thump-thump.

Thumpty-thump-thump.

Dennis: Over the hills of snow!

Sleigh Ride/Jingle Bells
[A pony neighs]

Skipper: Wanna come with me on a sleigh ride through Chucklewood?

Bluebell: I would love to, Skipper. Come along, Thippy!

Thippy: Wow!

Skipper: [singing] Just here those sleigh bells jingling

Ring-ting-ting-a-ling-too.

Come on it's lovely weather

for a sleigh ride together with you.

[The sleigh bells jingle as the Rabbit family begins their journey]

Bluebell: Outside the snow is falling

and friends are calling "Yoo-hoo!"

Come on it's lovely weather

for a sleigh ride together with you. (Thippy: Me too, mommy!)

Skipper: Giddy-up! Giddy-up! Giddy-up! Let's go!

Let's look at the snow.

We're riding in wonderland of snow.

Bluebell: Giddy-up! Giddy-up! Giddy-up! It's grand.

Just holding your hand.

Skipper and Bluebell: We're riding along with a song of a wintery fairyland.

Thippy: My cheeks are nice and rosy

and comfy cozy are we.

Skipper and Bluebell: We're snuggled up together

like two birds of a feather will be.

[They kiss]

Thippy: Let's take that road before us

and sing a chorus or two.

Come on it's lovely weather

for a sleigh ride together with you.

Skipper: Dashing through the snow,

in a one-horse opened sleigh

O'er the fields we go.

We laugh all the way.

Bluebell: Bells on bobtail ring.

Making spirits bright.

What fun it is to ride and sing

a sleighing song today.

CHORUS: Skipper, Bluebell and Thippy: Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells

Jingle all the way.

Oh, what fun it is to ride

in a one-horse opened sleigh.

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells

Jingle all the way.

Oh, what fun it is to ride

in a one-horse opened sleigh.

Thippy: A day or so ago, we thought we take a ride

And soon my mom and pop,

are seated next to me.

The horse was lean and lank

our fortunes seems a lot

He got into a drifted bank

and away we got wiped out!

CHORUS

[As the carriage passes through a home]

Thippy: Look! There's a birthday at the home of Farmer Gray

It will be the perfect ending of a perfect day.

They'll be singing the songs we love to sing

without a single stop.

At the fireplace while they watch the chestnuts pop.

[Skipper and Bluebell clap their paws]

Bluebell: There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy.

When we pass around the coffee and the holiday pie.

Skipper: It will really be like a picture print by Coulier and Ives.

These wonderful things are the wonderful things

we remember through our lives.

All: Just here those sleigh bells jingling

Ring-ting-ting-a-ling-too.

Come on it's lovely weather

for a sleigh ride together with...

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells

Jingle all the way.

Oh, what fun it is to ride

in a one-horse opened sleigh.

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells

Jingle all the way.

Come on it's lovely weather

for a sleigh ride together with you.

Up On The Housetop
Sung by Turner

Up on the housetop reindeer paws,

out jumps good old Santa Claus

Down through the chimney with lots of toys

All for the little ones, Christmas joys.

CHORUS:

Ho, ho ho! Who wouldn't go? (2x)

Up on the housetop, click, click, click.

Down through the chimney with old Saint Nick.

First comes the stocking of little Nell.

"Oh, dear Santa fill it well."

Give her a dolly that laughs and cries.

One that can open and shut her eyes.

CHORUS

Look in the stocking of little Bill

Oh, just see what a glorious fill.

Here's a hammer and lots of tacks

Whistling ball and a whip that cracks.

CHORUS

Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick.

Jingle Bell Rock
Sung by Freddie

Freddie: 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.

[Repeat the second verse]

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.

[Splash!]

Frisky: [giggles as if she was seeing Freddie swimming naked] Nice butt, Freddie!

Freddie: Yikes!

What Child Is This? (Greensleves)
Sung by Bridgette and Francine

What child is this?

Who laid to rest

On Mary's lap is sleeping

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet.

While shepherds watch are keeping.

CHORUS:

This, this is Christ the king

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.

Haste, haste to bring him laud.

The babe, the son of Mary.

Why lies he in such mean estate?

Where ox and babes are feeding.

The end of fear for all who hear.

The silent Word is speaking.

CHORUS

So bring him incense, gold and silver

Come peasant king to love him.

The king of kings salvation brings

Let loving hearts enthrone him.

CHORUS

Silver Bells
Sung by Skeeter

CHORUS:

Silver bells, silver bells

It's Christmas time in the forest.

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring

Soon it will be Christmas day.

Forest mountains, busy caves.

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'll hear.

CHORUS THEN REPEAT SONG AGAIN

Soon it will be Christmas day

Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town
Sung by Jester

CHORUS:

You better watch out, you better not cry.

You better not pout,

I'm telling you why.

Santa Claus is comin' to town.

He's making a list and checking it twice.

Gonna find out who's naughty and nice

Santa Claus is comin' to town.

SPOKEN: Now Santa is a busy man. He has no time to play. He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas day. You'd better write your letter now and mail it right away. Because he's getting ready his reindeer's and his sleigh.

CHORUS

He sees you when you're sleepin.'

He knows when you're a wake.

He knows if you've been bad or good

So be good for goodness sake!

CHORUS

With little tin horns and little toy drums

Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums.

Santa Claus is comin' to town.

Curly head dolls that toddle and coo.

Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too.

Santa Claus is comin' to town.

Then kids in Girl and Boy land

will have a jubilee.

They're gonna build a Toyland

all around the Christmas tree.

CHORUS

Silver and Gold
Sung by Franklin

Franklin: Silver and gold, silver and gold

Everyone wishes for silver and gold

How do you measure its worth?

Just by the pleasure it gives here on earth.

Silver and gold, silver and gold

Means so much more when I see

Silver and gold decorations

On every Christmas tree.

Christina: You know, Franklin? What's a Christmas tree without tinsel and pretty silver and gold decorations?

Franklin: You can't really call it a Christmas tree, now can you?

Christina: And think of all the fun and joy that would be lost on Christmas morning if all the young critters didn't get to see that sparkling, happy tree.

Franklin: Silver and gold, silver and gold

Means so much more when we see.

Silver and gold decorations

on every Christmas tree.

Just like the ones I used to know.

Where the treetops glisten and children listen

To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

With every Christmas card I write.

May your days be merry and bright

And may all your Christmases be white.

With every Christmas card we write.

May your days be merry and bright

And may all your Christmases be white.

Let the Christmas spirit ring

Later we'll have some pumpkin pie

And we'll do some caroling.

Have a happy holiday!

We will all be dancin' merrily.

Glo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ria, in excelsis Deo. (2x)

Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly, sweetly through the night

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their brief delight.

CHORUS #2

Johnny, David and Lucas: We three kings of Orient are

Bearing gifts we traverse afar

Field and fountain, moor and mountain

Following yonder star.

Oh, star of wonder, star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading, still proceeding

Guide us to thy perfect light.

Choir: O come, all ye faithful

Joyful and triumphant

O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem

Come and behold Him

Born the King of Angels!

CHORUS #3

O come, let us adore Him!

O come, let us adore Him!

O come, let us adore Him!

Christ the Lord.

Oh, sing, choirs of angels

Sing in exultation

Oh, come, oh come ye to Bethlehem

Come and behold Him.

Born the King of Angels.

CHORUS #3

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
Sung by Johnny and Robyn

Johnny: It's the most wonderful time of the year.

With the kids jingle belling

and everyone telling you be of good cheer.

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Robyn: It's the hap-happiest season of all.

With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings

when friends come to call.

It's the hap-happiest season of all.

Johnny: There'll be parties for hosting.

Robyn: Marshmallows for toasting.

Johnny: And caroling out in the snow.

There'll be scary ghost stories

And tales of the glories of

Christmases long, long ago. (Robyn: Of course, Johnny.)

Both: It's the most wonderful time of the year

There'll be much mistltoeing

our hearts will be glowing

when loved ones are near

It's the most wonderful time of the year

REPEAT BRIDGE SWITCHING JOBS

Both: It's the most wonderful time of the year

There'll be much mistltoeing

our hearts will be glowing

when loved ones are near.

Johnny: It's the most wonderful time...

Robyn: The most wonderful time...

Both: It's the most wonderful time...

of the year!

O Christmas Tree
Sung by Buttons and Bearbette

Bearbette: Oh, Buttons. Isn't this a beautiful tree?

Buttons: O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree

Thy leaves are so unchanging.

O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree

Thy leaves are so unchanging

Bearbette: Not only green when summer's here

But also when it's cold and drear

O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree

Thy leaves are so unchanging.

O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree

Such pleasure do you bring us.

O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree

Such pleasure do you bring us.

Buttons: For every year this Christmas tree

Brings to us such joy and glee

O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree

Such pleasure do you bring us

Both: O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree

You'll ever be unchanging

Each shining light, each silver bell

No one alive spreads cheer so well

O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree

You'll ever be unchanging

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas
Sung by Miss Love

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas

Lean your ear this way.

Don't you tell a single soul

what I'm going to say.

Christmas Eve is coming soon

Now, you dear old man.

Whisper what you'll bring to me

tell me if you can.

When the clock is striking twelve

when they're fast asleep

Down the chimney broad and black

with their pack they'll creep.

All the stockings they will find

hanging in a row.

One of them will be the short one

He'll be sure to know.

Cody wants a pair of skates

Lisa wants a doll.

Sarah wants a mermaid dress.

Purple, blue and green.

As for me, my dear old brain

Isn't very bright.

Choose for me, old Santa Claus

What you think is right?

A Holly Jolly Christmas
Sung by Rusty and Sarah

Rusty: Have a holly jolly Christmas.

It's the best time of the year.

I don't know if there is snow

But we'll take a cup of cheer.

Have a holly jolly Christmas.

And when we walk down the forest.

Say hello to friends we know

as we walk down the path.

Oh-ho. The mistle toe.

Hung where they can see.

Somebody waits for me.

Kiss her once for me.

Have a holly jolly Christmas

And in case we didn't hear.

Oh by golly, have a holly jolly Christmas this year!
