Sing to Me Saturday

The House on Christmas Street
By Judy Pancoast, 1998

Let me tell you about this house
There’s one in every town
It’s the one, at Christmas-time,
Where folks all gather ‘round.
Most times of the year you’d pass by and not look back,
Oh, but in December it’ll stop you in your tracks

Cause it’s got 47-thousand twinkling lights
And Santa Claus up on the roof
Dasher and Dancer and all the other reindeer
Rudolph’s up there, too.
With a band of merry snowmen dancing on the porch
And a couple of carolers singing by the lamp post over near the front door;
Jesus and His Family in a stable on the lawn
And a choir of heavenly angels singing “Silent Night” ‘til dawn;
It’s where everybody meets
It’s the house on Christmas Street

Every year, Thanksgiving Day,
While we digest our turkey
The family puts up its display,
You can see it from Albuquerque;
Papa says they’re electric bill must reach up to the sky!
But Mama says the joy it brings is more than money can buy

Cause it’s got 47-thousand twinkling lights
And Santa Claus up on the roof
Dasher and Dancer and all the other reindeer
Rudolph’s up there, too.
With a band of merry snowmen dancing on the porch
And a couple of carolers singing by the lamp post over near the front door;
Jesus and His Family in a stable on the lawn
And a choir of heavenly angels singing “Silent Night” ‘til dawn;
It’s where everybody meets
It’s the house on Christmas Street

Every tree is all aglow
With a “Season’s Greetings” banner hanging high
It’s so pretty in the snow
It’s got to put a sparkle in your eye
In your eye

Cause it’s got 47-thousand twinkling lights
And Santa Claus up on the roof
Dasher and Dancer and all the other reindeer
Rudolph’s up there, too.
With a band of merry snowmen dancing on the porch
And a couple of carolers singing by the lamp post over near the front door;
Jesus and His Family in a stable on the lawn
And a choir of heavenly angels singing “Silent Night” ‘til dawn;
It’s where everybody meets
It’s the house on Christmas Street
