“Christmas Time Is Here”:

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year

Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
We’ll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year…

“Sittin’ On Santa’s Lap”:

Sittin’ on Santa’s Lap

Sittin’ on Santa’s lap
Sittin’ on Santa’s lap
My mom took me to the mall,
Now I’m sittin’ on Santa’s lap.

Sittin’ on Santa’s lap
Sittin’ on Santa’s lap
He said, “Have you been a good boy this year?”
I said, “Santa, you know I have.”

Sittin’ on Santa’s lap
Sittin’ on Santa’s lap
He said, “What do you want for Christmas?”
I said, “Santa, I thought you knew.”

Sittin’ on Santa’s lap
Sittin’ on Santa’s lap
I said, “Hey, yhou not really Santa!
You’re just a fat guy with a beard!”

Sittin’ on Santa’s lap
Sittin’ on Santa’s lap
He said, “Kid, are you crazy?
What are you trying to do?”

Sittin’ on Santa’s lap
Sittin’ on Santa’s lap
This guy ain’t Santa,
And I wanna get off his lap!

Sittin’ on Santa’s lap
Sittin’ on Santa’s lap
Yeah, I’m just here sittin’,
Sittin’ on Santa’s lap.

“We Wish You a Merry Christmas”:

We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
And a happy New Year.
Glad tidings we bring
To you and your kin;
Glad tidings for Christmas
And a happy New Year!

Now bring us some figgy pudding
Now bring us some figgy pudding
Now bring us some figgy pudding
Please bring it right here!
Glad tidings we bring
To you and your kin;
Glad tidings for Christmas
And a happy New Year!

We won’t go until we get some
We won’t go until we get some
We won’t go until we get some
So bring it out here!
Glad tidings we bring
To you and your kin;
Glad tidings for Christmas
And a happy New Year!

We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year.
Glad tidings we bring
To you and your kin;
Glad tidings for Christmas
And a happy New Year!

The Chinese Rapture:

“Snow Miser”:

I’m Mister White Christmas
I’m Mister Snow
I’m Mister Icicle
I’m Mister Ten Below
Friends call me Snow Miser
What ever I touch
Turns to snow in my clutch
I’m too much!

He’s Mister White Christmas
He’s Mister Snow

That’s right!

He’s Mister Icicle
He’s Mister Ten Below

Friends call me Snow Miser,
What ever I touch
Turns to snow in my clutch

He’s too much!

I never want to see a day
That’s over forty degrees
I’d rather have it thirty,
Twenty, ten, five and let it freeeeEEEEEEeeze!

He’s Mister White Christmas
He’s Mister Snow

That’s right!

He’s Mister Icicle
He’s Mister Ten Below

Friends call me Snow Miser,
What ever I touch
Turns to snow in my clutch
…too much.

Too Much

“Oh, Santa”:

Narrator: “It’s Christmas Eve, and Larry is anxiously awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus with a plate of cookies.”

Larry: “Oh, Santa! I can’t wait for you to come, I just can’t wait for you to come, and I’ve got cookies! Three yummy cookies! Just for you for when you come, only for you for when you come … because it’s Christmas!”

[Knock-knock-knock]

Larry: “Could that be Santa? Could that be him? Could it be the one who brings presents for a cucumber like me, a good cucumber like me?”

Narrator: “Larry is surprised to be greeted not by Santa, but crafty bankrobber!”

Larry: “Who are you?”

Bankrobber: “I’m a bankrobber! And I’ve come to rob your bank, oh yes! I’ve come to rob your bank, and I’ve come to take your dimes and swipe your nickels. So stand back, step aside you silly pickle! And let me in!”

Narrator: “Although frightened by the intruder, in the spirit of Christmas Larry makes an offering.”

Larry: “I’m not a banker … I have no bank my robbing friend, but I have cookies - three yummy cookies. And I don’t have nickels, but please take this my robbing friend. Eat one of these my robbing friend! They are for Santa, but you may have one.”

Narrator: “The bankrobber is truly touched by Larry’s good will. But Larry, although momentarily distracted, is still excited about seeing Santa.”

Larry: “Oh, Santa! I can’t wait for you to come, I just can’t wait for you to come, and I’ve got cookies! Two yummy cookies! Just for you for when you come, only for you for when you come … because it’s Christmas!”

Bankrobber: (Simultaneously) “I’m a robber! I came to rob your bank, oh yes! I came to rob your bank … you shared a cookie - a yummy cookie. Though I’d love to take your dimes, perhaps another time - because it’s Christmas!”

[Knock, knock, knock]

Larry: “Could that be Santa? Could that be him? Could it be the one who brings presents for a cucumber like me, a good cucumber like me?”

Narrator: “Once again, it is not Santa who has come to Larry’s door, but this time a savage Norseman.”

Larry: “Who are you?”

Viking: “I’m a viking! And I’ve come to take your land, oh yes! I’ve come to take your land, and I’ve come to burn your crops and steal your horses. And I’ve come to … step on your chickens! And soil your quilts!”

Narrator: “Although frightened by the intruder, in the spirit of Christmas Larry makes an offering.”

Larry: “I don’t have land … I don’t have crops, my viking friend, but I have cookies - two yummy cookies. And I don’t have horses, but please take this my viking friend. Eat one of these my viking friend. They are for Santa, but you may have one.”

Narrator: “The viking is also touched by Larry’s good will. But Larry’s thoughts are still with Santa.”

Larry: “Oh, Santa! I can’t wait for you to come, I just can’t wait for you to come, I’ve got a cookie! A yummy cookie! Just for you for when you come, only for you for when you come … because it’s Christmas!”

Viking: (Simultaneously) “I’m a viking! I came to take your land, oh yes! I came to take your land … you shared a cookie - a yummy cookie. Though I’d love to soil your quilts, I don’t think that I wilt … because it’s Christmas!”

[Knock-knock-knock]

Larry: “Could that be Santa? Could that be him? Could it be the one who brings presents for a cucumber like me, a good cucumber like me?”

Narrator: “Larry is greeted now by an agent of the Internal Revenue Service.”

Larry: “Who are you?”

Peach: “I’m from the IRS! And I’ve come to tax your …” [Slam]

Larry: “Oh, Santa! I can’t wait for you to come, I just can’t wait for you to come … It’s finally Santa! It’s finally him! At last, the one who brings presents for a cucumber like me, a good cucumber like me!”

Santa: “I’m Santa! And I’ve come to bring you gifts, oh yes! I’ve come to bring you gifts, and I’ve come to stuff your stockings - oh ho-ho-ho! And I’ve come to jiggle my belly. And wiggle my nose … Hey, wait a minute! Isn’t that my belt? And what are you doing with my hat? So you’re the ones!”

Bankrobber: “Wait a minute, I can explain!”

Viking: “We’ve changed!”

Santa: “Nobody messes with Santa! You know that don’t you!? You’ve been very naughty! And I’ve got a list!”

Peach: “Did you claim that?”

Larry: “Merry … Christmas!”

“Heat Miser”

I’m Mr. Green Christmas
I’m Mr. Sun
I’m Mr. Heat Blister
I’m Mr. 101

They call me Heat Miser
Whatever I touch
starts to melt in my clutch
I’m too much

(He’s Mr. Green Christmas
He’s Mr. Sun
He’s Mr. Heat Blister
He’s Mr. 101)
They call me Heat Miser
Whatever I touch
Starts to melt in my clutch
(He’s too much)
Thank you

I never want to know a day
that’s under 60 degrees
I’d rather have it 80, 90, 100 degrees!
Oh, some like it hot
but I like it really hot!

(He’s Mr. Green Christmas
He’s Mr. Sun)
SING IT!
(He’s Mr. Heat Blister
He’s Mr. 101)
They call me Heat Miser
Whatever I touch
starts to melt in my clutch
I’m too much!
(Too much)
