It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old, from angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold: “Peace on the earth, good will to men, from heaven’s all-gracious King.” The world in solemn stillness lay, to hear the angels sing. Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurled, and still their heavenly music floats o’er all the weary world; above its sad and lowly plains, they bend on hovering wing, and ever o’er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing. ---

What I bring you? I tell you what I bring you. The 1st Polish Christmas dish I bring to the party, A boiled potato topped with dillweed. The 2nd Polish Christmas dish I bring to the party, 2 steamed pierogies… What’s a pierogi? It’s a dough, wrapped around meat. Oh… And a boiled potato topped with dillweed. ---

See him lying on a bed of straw, A draughty stable with an open door; Mary cradling the babe she bore - The Prince of glory is his name. O now carry me to Bethlehem, To see the Lord of love again; Just as poor as was the stable then, The Prince of glory when he came! Star of silver, sweep across the skies, Show where Jesus in the manger lies; Shepherds, swiftly from your stupor rise To see the Saviour of the world! O now carry me to Bethlehem, To see the Lord of love again; Just as poor as was the stable then, The Prince of glory when he came! ---

Away in a manger no crib for a bed The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing the baby awakes But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes. I love you Lord Jesus; look down from the sky And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh ---

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? This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The Babe, the son of Mary. ---

Infant holy, Infant lowly, for His bed a cattle stall; Oxen lowing, little knowing, Christ the Babe is Lord of all. Swift are winging angels singing, noels ringing, tidings bringing: Christ the Babe is Lord of all. Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping vigil till the morning new Saw the glory, heard the story, tidings of a Gospel true. Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow, praises voicing, greet the morrow: Christ the Babe was born for you. ---

The first Nowell the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay: In fields where they lay a keeping their sheep On a cold winter’s night that was so deep. Nowell Nowell Nowell Nowell Born is the King of Israel. They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east beyond them far: And to the earth it gave great light And so it continued both day and night. Nowell Nowell Nowell Nowell Born is the King of Israel. ---

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want He makes me down to lie Through pastures green he leadeth me the silent waters by With bright knives he releaseth my soul He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places He converteth me to lamb cutlets For he hath great power and great hunger When cometh the day we lowly ones Through quiet reflection and great dedication Master the art of karate Lo, we shall rise up And then we’ll make the bugger’s eyes water. ---

Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are. You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are. And when your hand is on your heart, you’re nearly a good laugh, almost a joker, with your head down in the pig bin, saying, " Keep on digging", pig stain on your fat chin. What do you hope to find, when you’re down in the pig mine? You’re nearly a laugh, you’re nearly a laugh, but you’re really a cry. ---
