Almost cut my hair
Happened just the other day
It’s gettin’ kind of long
I could’ve said it was in my way
A shower of stardust on your hair
I can’t think of a better Christmas
And the sign said “Long-haired freaky people need not apply”
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said “You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you’ll do”
So I took off my hat, I said “Imagine that. Huh! Me workin’ for you!”
Baby take off your coat, real slow
And take off your shoes - I’ll take off your shoes
Baby take off your dress, yes yes yes
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
There must have been some magic in
That old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around
Yeah there was ham an’ there was turkey, there was caviar
And long tall glasses, with wine up to yar
Then somebody grabbed me, threw me outta my chair
Said before you can eat, you gotta dance like Fred Astaire
I’m a bull, not a bear
I’m a millionaire
'Cause when I hold her in my arms
I feel like Fred Astaire
Dressed up like a million dollar trooper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper
Super-duper
Come lets mix where Rockerfellers
Walk with sticks or umbrellas in their mits
Puttin’ on the Ritz
Animal crackers in my soup…
Yo ye pharoahs, let us walk
Through this barren desert, in search of truth
And some pointy boots, and maybe a few snack crackers.
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I’ll wander baby
Stumblin’ in the neon groves
There magic in the air this evening
Magic in the air
The world is at her best, you know
When people love and care
The promise of excitement is one the night will keep
After all, there’s only one more sleep til Christmas
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
I said, “I’m hurt.” She said, “Honey, let me heal it”
And we danced all night to a soul fairy band
And she kissed me just right, like only a lonely angel can
She felt so nice
Just as soft as a spirit in the night
There’s a song in the air! There’s a star in the sky!
There’s a mother’s deep prayer and a baby’s low cry!
And the star rains its fire while the beautiful sing,
For the manger of Bethlehem cradles a King!
Once in Royal David’s City stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her baby.
You’d do well to remember the things He later said.
Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you’ve delivered, will soon deliver you
Away in a manger, no crib for his bed,
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head,
Every sleepy boy and girl
In every bed around the world
Can hear the stars up in the sky
Whispering a lullaby
Who knows where you’ll fly away
Winging past the light of day
The man in the moon and the Milky Way
Welcome you to dreamland
Golden slumbers fill your eyes,
Smiles await you when you rise,
Sleep pretty darling; do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby.
