Jolly old St. Nicholas, Lean your ear this way!
Don’t you tell a single soul, What I’m going to say;

old Christmas song

Oh when the saints,
come marching in,
oh when the saints come marching in.
oh lord I want to be in that number
when the saints come marching in

St. Genevieve, St. Genevieve,
It's Guinevere, remember me?
St. Genevieve, St. Genevieve,
I'm over here, beneath this tree

Yes, I've heard the odd complaint,
But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor, unfortunate souls

I'd rather laugh with the sinners
Than cry with the saints.
The sinners are much more fun.

Only the Good Die Young

Gunwaldt said...

In his master's steps he trod
where the snow lay dinted
Heat was in the very sod
which the saint had printed.

"Good King Wenceslas" traditional?

You load 16 tons & what do you get?
Another day older & deeper in debt.
St. Peter don't you call me
'cause I can't go.
I owe my soul to the company store.

16 tons

I only know seven words; sorry:

I went down to St. James infirmary

(It's a blues song from before my time.)

Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette.
Puff puff puff until you puff yourself to death
Tell Saint Peter at the Golden Gate
That you hate to make him wait
But you've got to have another cigarette.

don't know who wrote it

Saint Anthony has been blatantly ignoring me.
See I pray to him, and I say to him, would help me.

~St. Anthony by Amy Steinberg

Deanne said...

Ooops! That's supposed to be "would YOU help me."

And your saints above
Join with your saints below
Rejoicing in the risen lamb

Up on the housetop
Click, click, click
Down through the chimney
With good St. Nick

You ain't no saint
We're all sinners

Holy, Holy, Holy
All the saints adore thee
Casting down their golden crowns
Around the glassy sea

I can see a new horizon
underneath the blazing sky
I'll be where the eagle's flying
higher and higher
Gonna be a man in motion
all I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where my future's lying
St. Elmo's fire...

---John Parr, from the movie (thanks Meghan!)

Sandra Dodd said...

With a will and a self-restraint
That's the envy of every saint

"C'est Moi," from Camelot

And he lives forever with his saints to reign
He arose (he arose...)

Meet me in St. Louis, Louis
Meet me at the fair.
