LYRICS
Here comes the little engine
Chugging along
Imagine a little engine
That thought that he could
Imagine the little engine
Eventually would
’cause he thought that he could
A song for chuggin’ on
A song for chuggin’ along

There goes the little engine
Passin’ by again
Only a matter of when
When you think that you can
Pick yourself up… try again
And soon you’ll be chuggin’

Pullin’ Christmas toys
For all the girls and boys
Bringing holiday cheer
To those we hold dear

LYRICS
Putting some spunk
In the way that I walk
Putting some funk
In the way that I talk
Brighten the day
Brighten the way

Add a little spice
And roll the dice
Take a little chance
It’ll add some romance
Brighten the day
Brighten the way

Are you feeling thankful
On Thanksgiving Day
Then, sing and dance
Let the music play
Brighten the day
Brighten the way

Are you feeling blessed
Bring on Christmas Day
Come sing and dance
Let the music play
Brighten the day
Brighten the way

LYRICS
I caught a ride on an angel with wings
Who knows what sojourn this brings
Sojourn… so journey on

Come ride on an angel with wings
Sure looks like we’re on adventure…
And other things

Catch a ride on an angel with wings
Catch a ride on an angel that sings
Ohhhh…
Hallelujah ahhhhh

Angel with wings
Angel that sings
Hallelujah
Ahhhhh… Hallelujah!

LYRICS
A cold wind penetrates skin
Until hearts are freezin’
A cold wind is blowin’ in
A deep freeze about to begin

Maybe the glitter of snow in the winter
Will split the hate and cause it to splinter
Use the hearth of love to warm hearts
Until a new season starts

Individuality of a snowflake
The Christmas Spirit at stake
May your soul remain unique
And your love reach its peak

Chorus

Peace on Earth goodwill toward all
Will help prevent Man’s great fall
Peace on Earth goodwill toward all
Bring the advent of the gentle

LYRICS
Soundcheck — “Blizzard”

Starts off with… talking about a lizard
A lizard blizzard

Lizard
Lizard grew
Lizard grew and grows and grew and grows into a dragon
Zilla God Zilla God Zilla Godzilla
King of the lizard

There was a squall
This squall said after all
I want to be tall
I want to be a tall
I want to be a tall tale
(tail of the wind… tale of the wind… )
I want to be the king of the storms
I want to blow hard
And not be a blowhard
The king of the storm
Cause to raise the alarm

King of the storm
The blizzard

The 100 year blizzard
A 500 year blizzard
The king of the storm
Enough to cause alarm
A state of emergency
See! Emergency!

The storm of the dragon
Blizzard
The king of the storm
As is the king of the lizard
The king of the storm
Blizzard

Sustained wind(s)
Blowin’
Visibility — snowblind
Visibility zero
Temperature subzero
(Climate unkind)
King of the storm
Blizzard
The blizzard

(I beg for some milk and an egg… I beg)

LYRICS
Oh! No!
Wouldn’t you know
There’s no snow
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near here
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near hear
Christmas cheer on holiday
Wouldn’t you say?

The leaves fell down
Still no snow on the ground
None to be found
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near here
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near hear
Christmas cheer on holiday
Wouldn’t you say?

Advent did begin
December moves in
Still it’s not snowin’
Chorus

Hard to believe
Approaching Christmas Eve
Pray “at least a dusting, please”

LYRICS
Temperature plummet
Mercury’s puppet
Across the frozen tundra
Sounds of the winter genre
The air is crisp and clear
Sounds of the atmosphere

It was 10 at 11
This cold is getting old
Well, too cold to be hell
Then, it must be heaven
Unless hell’s frozen over
Must be time to discover

It was 9 at 12
Delve into a new day
By 1 it was 8
Shows it’s never too late
The thrill of learning to chill
Arctic semantic manic

Temperature plummet
Mercury’s puppet
Across the frozen tundra
Sounds of the winter genre
The air is crisp and clear
Sounds of the atmosphere

LYRICS
As the mercury drops
Expectation tops
Awaiting the first flake
Old man winter awake!

Rousts Jack Frost from slumber
Makes the child in us wonder
Dash for the window
Watch the faces glow

Ho, ho, ho

At the first snowflake
Out with the tongue… intake
Covering the treetops
Hoping it never stops

The roads start to cover
School’s gonna be over
Anticipating what we know
Early dismissal here we go!

Ho, ho, ho

LYRICS
Now I know what She meant
By shoveling cement
My ribs taking a ribbing
Funny bone ain’t laughing
Lungs gasping
Blood sugar crashing
Exhaustion ain’t forgiving
Even the most miniscule muscle aching

Forsaking
The lazy mode

On the unchained gang road
Lifting a heavy load
On the unchained gang road
Unlocking spiritual code

Polar vortex, clipper or nor’ easter
Take it as another kick to the keister
Or consider the splendor of the impending gleam
Know what I mean?
Snow — what I mean

Veil the frail in fractal white crystal
As to the blind man’s Braille
The third eye’s sail
See it all

Ensure splendid grandeur for their future

LYRICS
Ho, ho, ho, hallelujah
Ho, ho, ho, hallelujah
Do you know
How does the saying go?

Recipe for a gingerbread house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
Do you know
How does the saying go?

Stockings hung by the chimney with care
Something about roasting chestnuts there
Do you know
How does the saying go?

Dashing… ore the fields we go
Don’t forget the mistletoe
Do you know
How does the saying go?

We three kings of orient are
Do you see what I see… follow the star
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Rudolph with your nose so bright
With a tail… a tail as long as a kite
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Oh, holy night
May all your Christmases be white
Do you know
How does the saying go?

LYRICS
I heard the first snowflake fell
You could tell from the children’s yell
Feeling swell takin’ in the Christmas smell
You can smell the season in the air
Awash with the waft of love and care

I heard of heaven and hell
Could all be a matter of, “Oh, well.”
There is one easy way to tell
Can you smell the season in the air?
Awake with intake of love and care

You can smell it in the air
Once you become aware
Finding joy everywhere

Looks like winter might be over forever
Next birth let’s grow together
Let spring bring….
Birds fill the air as they sing

I can’t help but think of you
Whether you have made it through
Whether you’ve survived the weather, too

Take the splinter out from under
Rejuvenation, She’s a wonder
Helping healing
Praise God! Let us sing:

Looks like winter might be over forever
This birth let’s grow together
Let spring bring….
Birds fill the air as they sing
