SANTAS CLAUS IS JOLLY BECAUSE It's Christmas Eve and I do believe We might see Santa soon His eight reindeer must have a landing gear They've been flying all night by the light Of the bright new Christmas moon Santa Claus Is jolly because He can fly all around the world All in one night, and though his schedule is tight He won't even miss one boy or girl I know it's late but I just can't wait Till he visits my family And will he be bringing something for me? Santa never gets lost, still my fingers are crossed That he finds my tree And every year he does it again With the help of Mrs. Claus and his elfin friends How does he make it through all that snow? It must be magic - that's all I know FIXED UP AND FEELIN' FINE I wish I was an automobile With four wheel drive and a real good feel They'd tune me up with brand new wires Some good spark plugs and white wall tires And if you arrange to get an oil change You'll hear the clickety clack as they pump up the jack It's your lucky day down at the service bay Fixed up and feelin' fine I wish I was a brand new car Down at the car wash I'm a star They'd line me up on those car wash tracks Then polish me up with a high gloss wax You feel like a king or queen when you're scrubbed up clean You'll be lookin' so fine when your windshield shines Just cruisin' home with gleaming chrome Fixed up and feelin' fine MY MOTORCYCLE The open road is calling me To the countryside I love to see Two wheels turning round Listen to the mighty sound Of my motorcycle Now, I'm waiting for the weather to clear Got my helmet and my riding gear When I set the engine to roar Sounds like a dinosaur On my motorcycle, my motor bike Chopper or hog, now I don't care Motorcross, Supercross, anywhere Long as I'm breathing that clean fresh air On my motorcycle Down to the rally I go Everybody there I know The bikes are looking fine Tearing off the starting line On their motorcycles Low rider, high rider I don't mind Dirt bikes, street bikes, any old kind A bumpy back road or a smooth white line On my motorcycle THE WAYS OF THE MIGHTY LUMBERJACK There's a lot you gotta know about cuttin' down trees The rules and responsibilities If you wanna have fun, you might learn the knack Of the great old ways of the lumberjack Well, the tools are powerful, big and new And they work much faster than the old ones do But the loggers and foresters all look back To the ways of the mighty lumberjack Well, some things never seem to change Like shoutin' out words that might sound strange If you hear, "TIMBER!" - don't stick around It means a big old tree is gonna hit the ground! Now, the forester's job is to plant new trees Placed in the space where they used to be So your great grandchildren, in the years to come Will still have forests they can get wood from THE MIGHTY MEGA MONSTER TRUCKS What looks scary, but fun and weighs more than one ton? It's a Mighty Mega Monster Truck Not like them other trucks you've seen, it's monster mashingly mean It's a Mighty Mega Monster Truck And if you heard it's mighty roar Then you'd be sure To head for the door! It's been forged to be large, sometimes even turbo charged It's a Mighty Mega Monster Truck Build 'em anyway you like, this one steers like a bike But it's a Mighty Mega Monster Truck And if you're lucky one day to be near Where the monster appears Then hold your ears! WHEN THE CIRCUS COMES TO TOWN Wake up, wake up, it's already getting late, We're going to the circus I just can't wait To see the animals march around The acrobats and the circus clowns, But we wont see a single frown when the circus comes to town. Get up, get up, we haven't a moment to lose, We're going to the circus, it's time to choose The bleachers or a ring side seat And all of the goodies there to eat, The caramel corn's my favorite treat when the circus comes to town. Step right up it's the greatest show on earth, You'll agree every penny you spend is worth it If you don't dilly dally or be dawdling half the day The circus finally came to town, and this is why I say, hey! Heave Ho, let's go, it's time to be on our way, We're going to the circus we'll start the day With the big parade in the village square The prancing ponies and dancing bears As acrobats fly through the air when the circus comes to town Back To Cliff Hanger Records |
