caroling tidings
of minstrel magpies
warbling jingles

The carolers came out of barns, sheds, houses, and out from under rocks.
They climbed out of baskets, boxes, barrels, and striped Christmas socks.
They came running to sing, and they made the prettiest sound of all.
But the audience began running away when we gave the mouse call.

Bundled up, looking fit as a snowman
Those brutal cold days late in December
Caroling to buy gifts for my siblings
I wonder, do my siblings remember

The silver garlands are sparkling,
the golden bells are jingling...
as the wind drifts and white flakes start to fall
on the icicles of the pines;
how adorable is the maiden doll
who greets all with smiles!
The faithful are happily caroling,
joy and hope they bring to us
and to everyone hearing
their voices that spread the wonderful tidings!
Father Murphy
drinks sweet eggnog,
instead of whisky;
he plays spades
with his imagined saints
who accuse him of no wrong!
It's the only night
when folks are happier and nicer,
even kids don't fight
by the red log that burns much brighter!
Mother Angela
grins at Santa
who spoils her darlings
with gifts and cheers!

In my town on Christmas eve,
The whole town gets the Christmas spirit.
Up and down the streets at night,
If you listen you can hear it.
A crowd sings Christmas songs,
From one house to the next.
The whole town decorates their homes,
With things you wouldn‘t expect.
The harmony sounds far,
Then at your door they sing.
Filling your heart with warm joy,
With the happiness they bring.
Christmas caroling is our tradition,
And all the joy it sparks.
But the best thing to see and feel,
Is the children singing out their hearts.

Here we all go, starting out down the street
We're going to Maw Maw's where we all will meet.
Brothers and sisters and baby so sweet.
Dressed in their warm clothes, thick socks on their feet.
Going downtown for the pageant to see.
Then do some caroling standing all round the tree.
When we reach midtown the big clock on the square.
Strikes chords so majestic in the night winters air.
The stage is all set with the sweet smelling hay.
The babe in a manger is ready to lay.
Everyone take their place, we're ready for the play.
Angels start singing "Away..........
The play ends and Angels start singing again.
And then with instruments we all join right in.
We sing all the Carols, we all know by heart.
And then when we're finished we start to depart.
