2. Shepherds Song Midnight Midnight - there's the strangest feeling in the air tonight, There's something going on but I can't make it out, I wonder what it's all about? Starlight - breaking through the darkness in the dead of night, Illuminates the path that takes you out of sight, And all the way to Bethlehem. Tonight's events were planned in heaven, The greatest story ever penned. Heaven and earth have come together, And life has come to Bethlehem. Angels - taking care of things that only they can do, Are waiting in the wings to bring the joyful news, It's going to turn the world around. Strangers - having made arrangements for a night or two, Have found accommodation in the crowded rooms. The house is packed in Bethlehem. Shepherds - minding their own business looking after things, Are startled by an unexpected happening, As angel choirs appear to them. Wise men - taking charts and telescopes and compasses, Investigate the star that takes them traveling, Until they come to Bethlehem

6. Boogie-Woogie Santa Well he’s a boogie-woogie Santa, A cool dude dressed in red, Who dances down your chimney When you’re tucked up in bed. He leaves you Christmas presents, Then he zooms off on his sled! Chorus Hey there, Santa! (Boogie-woogie Santa) Said ‘Hey there, Santa!’ (Boogie-woogie Santa) Hey Santa Claus won’t ya come and boogie-woogie with me! Well he’s a boogie-woogie Santa With his reindeer and his elves, Who help him to deliver All the toys stacked on his shelves, But only to boys and girls Who behave themselves! Chorus Hey there… (Instrumental) Well he’s a boogie-woogie Santa, Likes the odd mince pie And a glass of sherry Whenever he drops by. So leave a winter warmer For winter’s warmest guy!

7. Listen to the News Listen to the news, listen to the news Every time I listen to the wind outside my door I can hear it whisper that the news is good for sure Is there a message in the air tonight Could I be missing something vital in my life All these people calling Do they know some mystery Maybe heard the message That the wind is telling me A Cry in the Night A cry in the night and a child is born A child in a stable there isn’t any room A cry in the night and God has made Our homelessness his home (A friend for the poor and the holy frown He joins in their parties they scandalise the town A friend for the poor and God has made Our homelessness his home A trial in the dark the disciples run They bring him to Pilate he stands there all alone A trial in the dark and God has made Our homelessness his home) A man on the cross and the sun beats down Up there on the gallows he's got a thorny crown A man on the cross and God has made Our homelessness his home A voice in the dawn when the women came “You’re looking for Jesus don’t seek him in the tomb A voice in the dawn and God has made Our homelessness his home
