Lyrics to "Jingle Bells" Christmas Carol sung by Skid Row

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh yeah

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

Have fun rocking and rolling,
– Josie

"Santa Will Find You" Christmas song by Mindy Smith

If you're far away on this holiday eve
and you're dreaming of being at home.
If you're worried at all that you may be forgotten
you should know that you aren't alone.

'Cause you're there and you're shining
bright like a beacon, bright as a northern star.
So, don't worry because
Santa will find you wherever you are.
Santa will find you tonight.

If you're listening for reindeer and sleigh bells
as they jingle and tap on the roof.
You're awake, piled in blankets
with your cousin, Sacramone,
and you hope there'll be presents for you.

'Cause you're there and you're shining
bright like a beacon, bright as a northern star.
So, don't worry because
Santa will find you wherever you are.
Santa will find you tonight.

It's the time and the season to bring lovers together,
never let the distance keep you apart.
With the spirit of Christmas
you'll never be lost
if you truly believe in your heart.

When you're there and you're shining
bright like a beacon, bright as a northern star.
So, don't worry because
Santa will find you wherever you are.
Santa will find you tonight.

Don't worry because
Santa will find you wherever you are.
Santa will find you tonight.

Have fun singing with those you love,
– Josie

Lyrics to "Summertime" sung by Peach Stealing Monkeys

Summertime,
And the livin' is easy.
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high.

Your daddy's rich,
And your mamma's good lookin'.
So hush little baby,
Don't you cry.

One of these mornings,
You're going to rise up singing.
Then you'll spread your wings,
And you'll take to the sky.

But till that morning,
There's a' nothing can harm you.
With daddy and mamma standing by.

Summertime,
And the livin' is easy.
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high.

Your daddy's richa
And your mamma's good lookin'.
So hush little baby
Don't you cry.

Have fun singing and swaying,
– Josie

Enjoy the lyrics to this fishy, children's song. Music by The Gorskys.

I like fish.
I like fish.
I - I like fish.

I think fish are really grand,
they can breath underwater just like Aquaman.
I - I like fish. I - I like fish.

Fish are the only creatures on earth,
that always have a water birth.
I - I like fish. I - I like fish.

If a fish walks past you in the street,
It has evolved considerably.
I - I like fish. I - I like fish.

I like to go down to the sea
and listen to the fish symphony.
I - I like fish. I - I like fish. I like fish.

A fun and fishy, children's song from the Australian comedy group-y, The Gorskys.
("I like fish" by The Gorskys, ©1999)

This fun song and more was played on
