Ukulele Rules:

  1. Always grab your ukulele number.
  2. Take care of your ukulele at all times.
  3. Never leave your ukulele flat on the floor (if you need to leave it, rest it on its side).
  4. When putting away your ukulele, make sure you place it in the “deep” side of the bag. String must be up.
  5. Always check the shelf numbers when putting away your ukulele.
  6. Anyone who doesn’t put their ukulele at the end of class, must put away everyone else’s for the next class.

LYRICS

Take the weekend to brush up on your favourite Christmas carols and memorize the lesser known verses! It’s time for the show!

Introduction: (00:00 – 00:24)

It’s time for the show

So light up the tree

And cue the snow!

It’s Christmas time on old Broadway.

 

It’s Beginning to Look Like Christmas (0:25 – 1:42)

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Ev’rywhere you go.

There’s a tree in the Grand Hotel,

One in the park as well,

The sturdy kind that doesn’t mind the snow.

 

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas,

Soon the bells will start.

And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing right within your heart.

 

Repeat Both Verses!

 

My Favourite Things (1:43 – 2:55)

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,

Brown paper packages tied up with string,

These are a few of my favourite things.

 

(Wait! 123 123)

 

Cream coloured ponies and crisp apple strudels,

Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles,

Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings,

These are a few of my favourite things.

 

(Wait! 123 123)

 

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes,

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,

Silver white winters that melt into spring,

These are a few of my favourite things.

 

(Right away!)

 

When the dog bites, when the bee stings,

When I’m feeling sad,

I simply remember my favourite things,

And then I don’t feel so bad…so bad.

 

We Need A Little Christmas (2:56 – end)

Haul out the holly,

Put up the tree before my spirit falls again.

Fill up the stocking, I may be rushing things, but deck the halls again now.

 

For we need a little Christmas,

Right this very minute,

Candles in the window,

Carols at the spinet.

 

Yes, we need a little Christmas,

Right this very minute.

It hasn’t snowed a single flurry,

But Santa, dear, we’re in a hurry. 

 

So, climb down the chimney.

Turn on the brightest string of lights I’ve ever seen.

Slice up the fruitcake,

It’s time we hung some tinsel on that evergreen bough.

 

For we need a little music,

Need a little laughter,

Need a little singing,

Ringing through the rafter.

And we need a little snappy

“Happy ever after,”

Need a little Christmas now!
