Lyrics Of Pre School Christmas Songs
Happy Birthday Jesus
Happy Birthday Jesus, I'm so glad its Christmas
All the tinsel and lights, the presents are nice
But the real gift is you, happy birthday Jesus,
Jesus I love you!
Happy Birthday to Jesus
On the first Christmas Day,
From the father above,
Came the little Lord Jesus,
To show us God's love.
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
I love you dear Jesus,
Happy birthday to you.
Twinkle Twinkle Christmas Star
Twinkle, twinkle little star.
That shown so bright upon that night.
You led the shepherds to the site.
A manger of hay, where the new baby Jesus lay.
There was no inn for them to stay.
The Virgin birth forever changed,
The way our lives were made.
HO-HO-HO
Santa Claus Santa Claus
Ho, ho, ho
Ho, ho, ho.
Santa Claus
Ho, ho, ho,
Ho, ho, ho.
Little Reindeer
One little, two little, three little reindeer
Four little, five little, six little reindeer
Seven little, eight little, nine little reindeer
Pulling Santa's Sleigh
I'm A Little Christmas Tree
I'm a little Christmas tree tall and straight
Here are my branches for you to decorate.
First you put the star on the very top
Just be careful that my balls don't drop
S-A-N-T-A (Sung To: B-I-N-G-O)
I know a man with a long white beard
And Santa is his name-o
S-A-N-T-A, S-A-N-T-A, S-A-N-T-A
And Santa is his name-o!
He wears a red hat and big black boots
And Santa is his name-o
S-A-N-T-A, S-A-N-T-A, S-A-N-T-A
And Santa is his name-o!
Eight little reindeer pull his sleigh
And Santa is his name-o
S-A-N-T-A, S-A-N-T-A, S-A-N-T-A
And Santa is his name-o!
And Santa is his name-o!
He slides down the chimney with a pack on his back
And santa is his name-o
S-A-N-T-A, S-A-N-T-A, S-A-N-T-A
And Santa is his name-o!
He leaves toys, under the Christmas tree
And Santa is his name-o
S-A-N-T-A, S-A-N-T-A, S-A-N-T-A
And Santa is his name-o!
My Candy Cane
This is my candy cane for all who'd like to see,
I can put it anywhere even on the tree.
It reminds me of Christmas time and of the falling snow,
But most of all when Santa goes, ho, ho, ho!
