Do You Believe In Miracles
(Noddy Holder & Jim Lea)

It was in the winter of '79 when the band was at a low
Then we met yer man that they call The Mouth at a party there on show
He said "Why'd you carry on this way, I could never go to dat"
But he had to learn he was just the same - One step forward two steps back
Can you hear me now
Oh do you believe in miracles - Just as only dreamers can
Anything can work with a miracle
Like a bloody minded man - Like a bloody minded man
It was in the autumn of '84 going live through '85
When he made the greatest show on earth to help a country to survive
Can you hear me now, hear me now
Oh do you believe in miracles - Just as only dreamers can
Anything can work with a miracle
Like a bloody minded man - Like a bloody minded man
So your man determined, he found a course
When the powers just couldn't cope
Or did you ever think that old rock and roll
Could give the world some kind of hope
Can you hear me now, hear me now
Oh do you believe in miracles just as only dreamers can
Anything can work with a miracle
Like a bloody minded man - Like a bloody minded man
Oh do you believe in miracles when the dream has just begun
Anything can work with a miracle, just like Ireland's favourite son
And the dream has just begun
Do you believe in miracles - ( Repeat to fade )


Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
(Coots & Gillespie)

Woah woah-oh
You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry
You better not pout, though I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list, he's checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's been naughty or nice

You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry
You better not pout, though I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees when you are sleeping
And he knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry
You better not pout, though I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees when you are sleeping
And he knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry
You better not pout, though I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town


Auld Lang Syne / You'll Never Walk Alone
(Traditional Arranged: Holder & Lea) / (Rodgers & Hammerstein)

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And the days of auld lang syne

For auld lang syne my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne

Sing it

For auld lang syne my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
For the sake of auld lang syne

For auld lang syne my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne

For auld lang syne my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For the sake of auld lang syne
For the sake of auld lang syne
For the sake of auld lang syne

We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas

And a Happy New Year

( Spoken: Where was yer? )
