Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell rock

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
Yeah
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need (and I)
Don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking there upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy with a toy on Christmas Day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow (and I)
I'm just gonna keep on waiting underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it to the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do?
Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
Oh-oh, all the lights are shining so brightly everywhere (so brightly, baby)
And the sound of children's laughter fills the air (oh, oh, yeah)
And everyone is singing (oh, yeah)
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need? (Yeah, oh)
Won't you please bring my baby to me?
Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just wanna see my baby standing right outside my door
Oh, I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas (all I really want) is you, baby
All I want (I want) for Christmas (all I really want) is you, baby
3. Santa Tell Me - Ariana Grande
Lebih kekinian dan digemari generasi muda, Santa Tell Me menghadirkan sisi Natal yang playful dan manis. Lagu ini mengemas tema cinta dengan balutan pop ringan yang mudah didengar, cocok untuk menemani suasana Natal yang santai dan penuh tawa.
Santa, tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here next year
Feeling Christmas all around, and I'm trying to play it cool
But it's hard to focus when I see him walking 'cross the room
"Let It Snow" is blastin' out, but I won't get in the mood
I'm avoidin' every mistletoe until I know it's
True love that he thinks of
So next Christmas I'm not all alone, boy
Santa, tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here next year
I've been down this road before, fell in love on Christmas night (ooh, babe)
But on New Year's Day, I woke up and he wasn't by my side
Now I need someone to hold, be my fire in the cold (yeah-yeah)
But it's hard to tell if this is just a fling or if it's
True love that he thinks of (so)
So next Christmas I'm not all alone, boy
Santa, tell me if you're really there
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here next year
Oh, I wanna have him beside me, like oh, ooh-ooh
On the 25th, by that fireplace, oh, ooh, whoa
But I don't want a new broken heart
This year I've got to be smart
Oh, baby (Santa, tell me, Santa, tell me)
If he won't be, if he won't be here (Santa, tell me, Santa, tell me, boy)
Oh, whoa
Santa, tell me (Santa, tell me) if you're really there ('cause I really care)
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here next year
Santa, tell me (tell me) if he really cares (tell me, boy)
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here next year
Santa, tell me (tell me) if you're really there (tell me, baby)
Don't make me fall in love again if he won't be here next year
(If he won't be, if he won't be here)
Santa, tell me (tell me) if he really cares (do you care?)
'Cause I can't give it all away if he won't be here next year

O Holy Night! (O holy night, o holy night)
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error, pining
'Til He appeared, and the soul felt its worth (oh)
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices (ooh, o holy)
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn' (ooh, morn')
Fall on your knees! (Fall, fall, oh, oh)
Oh, hear the angel voices (oh, hear the angel voices)
O night, divine (night, divine)
O night when Christ was born (night, when Christ was born)
O night, divine (night, divine)
O night, o night, divine (ooh)
Truly, He taught us to love one another (ooh, another)
His law is love and His gospel is peace (love, ooh)
Chains shall He break (shall he break)
For the slave is our brother (brother)
And in His name, all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy (sweet hymns of joy)
In grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us (let all -)
Praise His Holy name (praise His Holy name)
Fall on your knees (fall)
Oh, hear the angel voices (oh, hear, their voices)
O night, divine (o night, divine)
O night (o night, divine)
When Christ was born (when Christ was born)
O night, divine (o night)
o night
O night, divine!
5. It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas - Michael Bublé
Suara hangat Michael Bublé seakan jadi pasangan sempurna untuk suasana Natal. Lagu ini menghadirkan nuansa klasik yang nyaman, seolah mengajak pendengar menikmati momen tenang menjelang hari besar. Tak heran jika hampir semua lagu Natal Michael Bublé selalu jadi pilihan favorit setiap akhir tahun.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look at the five and ten, it's glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes that glow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door
A pair of Hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that'll talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well
It's the sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that'll make 'em ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door
Sure, it's Christmas once more
