Oooooooo
Merry Christmas Saint Nick
Christmas comes this time each year
Oooooooo oooooooo
Well, way up north where the air gets cold
There's a tale about Christmas that you've all been told
And a real famous cat all dressed up in red
And he spends the whole year workin' out on his sled
It's the little Saint Nick
Ooooo, little Saint Nick
It's the little Saint Nick
Ooooo, little Saint Nick
Just a little bobsled we call it old Saint Nick
But she'll walk a toboggan with a four speed stick
She's candy-apple red with a ski for a wheel
And when Santa hits the gas, man, just watch her peel
It's the little Saint Nick
Ooooo, little Saint Nick
It's the little Saint Nick
Ooooo, little Saint Nick
Run run reindeer
Run run reindeer
Whoaa
Run run reindeer
Run run reindeer
He don't miss no one
And haulin' through the snow at a frightenin' speed
With a half a dozen deer with Rudy to lead
He's gotta wear his goggles 'cause the snow really flies
And he's cruisin' every pad with a little surprise
It's the little Saint Nick
Ooooo, little Saint Nick
It's the little Saint Nick
Ooooo, little Saint Nick
Ahhhhhh
Oooooooo
Merry Christmas Saint Nick
Christmas comes this time each year
Ahhhhhh
Oooooooo
Merry Christmas Saint Nick
Christmas comes this time each year
Ahhhhhh

14. "Auld Lang Syne" (Alternate Mix)
Should--
One. Two. One, two, three.
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
And days of Auld Lang Syne
For Auld Lang Syne, my dear
For Auld Lang Syne
For Auld Lang Syne
May old acquaintance be forgot
And days of Auld Lang Syne
15. "Little Saint Nick" (Alternate Version)
Brian Wilson/Mike Love
Well, way up north where the air gets cold

About the Saint Nick
He's a real famous cat all dressed up in red
And he spends the whole year workin' out on his sled

The little Saint Nick
It's got the naugahyde bucket seats with chrome on the rail
And the deers honkin' on really make Santa sail
Now cuties, don't you worry, he's a real cool hand
And I've been told that he
Don't miss no one
Haulin' through the snow at a frightening speed
The little Saint Nick
With a half a dozen deer with Rudy to lead

Well, he's gotta wear his goggles 'cause the snow really flies
And he's cruisin' every pad with a little surprise

17. "Child of Winter"
Brian Wilson/Steve Kalinich
A child of winter
A child of the snow
I'm making a snowball
That someone will throw
I'm making a snowman
With charcoal for the eyes
A scarf draped in red
And a derby on his head
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus Lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer are pulling on the reins
Bells are ringing, children singing
All is merry and bright
Hang your stockings and say your prayers
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight
The evening of Christmas
Presents have been passed
The wood in the fireplace
Is glowing its last
I'm closing my eyes now
In my bed I'm snuggling
Outside my window
The carolers sing
Christmas comes and the snow covers all
Trees are decorated with tinsel and lights
Mama's in the kitchen making cookies and bread
The children are hungry, they're waiting to be fed
A child of Christmas
A child of snow
A wonderful feeling
Underneath the mistletoe
And may your Christmas
Last all year
With laughter of children
Peace and cheer
A child of Christmas
A child of snow
A wonderful feeling
Underneath the mistletoe
Merry Christmas to you
Ding dong ding go the bells
Ding dong ding go the bells
Ding dong ding go the bells
Ding dong ding go the bells
Ding dong ding go the bells

18. "Christmas Time Is Here Again"
Buddy Holly/Jerry Allison/Norman Petty; new lyrics by Alan Jardine
It's that time of year again
That Christmastime feelin' is here again
'Cause Christmas, Christmas, Christmastime is here again
Yes, the Christmastime feelin' is in the air again
Ahh ahhh ahh
I see snow flurries comin' down
Paint a pretty party scene all over town
'Cause Christmas, Christmas, Christmastime is here again
Yes, the Christmastime feelin' is in the air again
Ahh ahhh ahh
Lots of mistletoe hangin' everywhere
Plenty of free gifts and so don't despair
'Cause Christmas, Christmas, Christmastime is here again
Yes, the Christmastime feelin' is in the air again
Ahh ahhh ahh
She's so pretty but I'm so young
When I'm sixteen I'm gonna have some fun
'Cause Christmas, Christmas, Christmastime is here again
Yes, the Christmastime feelin' is in the air again
Ahh ahhh ahh
All the little children of this great big world
Are waitin' for the season's biggest thrill
I wonder if I'll ever be able to get to sleep again
'Cause the Christmastime thrill is in the air again
Ahh ahhh ahh
Been tossin' and a-turnin' all through the night
I'll be wide awake until broad daylight
'Cause Christmas, Christmas, Christmas Eve is here again
Yes, the Christmastime feelin' is in the air again
Ahh ahhh ahh
Old Saint Nick'll be stoppin' in
To see the lady of the house again
I wonder if he'll ever go and try to kiss Mommy on the cheek again
'Cause the Christmastime feelin' is in the air again
Ahh ahhh ahh
Yes, the Christmastime feelin' is in the air again
Ahh ahhh ahh
19. "Winter Symphony"
Brian Wilson
Autumn colors have gone
Birds fled south with their song
Snowflakes cover the earth quietly
Night extends through the hours
Coolly lit by the stars
The pulse of life slows silently
Cuddle up in a cozy nook
With a warm drink and a book
Within a winter symphony
Somewhere children outside
Screamin' down a daredevil slide
Rosy-cheeked bundles of cold-weather clothes
Hear the winter winds howl
Pierced by the hoot of an owl
Fingers of frost take a nip at my nose
Cuddle up in a cozy nook
With a warm drink and a book
Within a winter symphony
Winter symphony
Snowflake fantasy
Warms my heart like a tropic sea
There the sun always shines
There you'll always be mine
All in a winter symphony
Winter symphony
Snowflake fantasy
Warms my heart like a tropic sea
There the sun always shines
There you'll always be mine
All in a winter symphony
20. "(I Saw Santa) Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"
Brian Wilson/Alan Jardine
Hey Adam, you'll never guess what I saw last night.
What?
I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus. That's right.
Oh no.
They were listening to music, and their voices were low,
And he looks a lot like someone that you and I both know!
Who?
Well, I saw Santa rockin' round the Christmas tree
And Mama was as close to Santa as you are to me
They filled up the socks,
But before he could go
They started to kiss.
Santa just couldn't go.
Well, I saw Mama help Santa decorate the tree
With little bitty presents and candy canes for you and me
He started to leave...
Mm!
Then he turned around.
I made a noise.
*Clunk*
I was sure to be found!
Well, I saw Mama kissin' Santa 'neath the mistletoe
Yeah, and he looked like someone I thought you oughta know
21. "Melekalikimaka"
Alan Jardine/Mike Love
It's been my secret passion to try it
To spend my Christmas surfin', I can't deny it
I wanna spend my Christmas on the Kona Coast in Hawaii
For years I saved my pennies and planned it
The great Pacific Ocean, we'll span it
I wanna spend Christmas where I dig it the most, in Hawaii
Go to Hawaii
Melekalikimaka is "Merry Christmas" in Hawaii talk-a
And at Lahaina we'll count the shooting stars
And it will be just you and me in Hawaii
The suntanned beauties are everywhere
If you're comin' to the islands then you might stare
And find a girl waiting for you there in Hawaii
Kani and Wahini and Wahowalis, too
Wish a Melekalikimaka to you
They're the friendliest people anywhere in Hawaii
Go to Hawaii
Melekalikimaka is how they say it in island talk-a
The island flower fragrance in the air
We'll write a card and underneath the mango trees
We'll say, "Wish you were here with us in Hawaii"
Winter in the sun and surf'd sure be nice
In a south sea garden paradise
I wanna spend Christmas where I dig it the most, in Hawaii
Honolulu, Waikiki
Do you wanna come along with me?
Waimia up to Hanalai
I'd love to take you to the islands today
22. "Bells of Christmas"
Alan Jardine/Ron Altbach/Mike Love
The bells of Christmas go ring-a-ling-ling

And little children everywhere are caroling
'Cause the presence of the Lord makes their spirits sing
Oh oh oh oh

25. "Dennis Wilson Christmas Message"
Santa Claus is coming to town...
Christmas is a joyous time of year. But for an underprivileged child,
this isn't always true. This is Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys.
Alan, Michael, Carl, Brian and myself would like to ask all of you to join
in with us in donating a toy to an underprivileged children organization,
so they, too, might possibly share in a very, very happy Christmas this year.
Thank you.
25. "Brian Wilson Christmas Interview"
Jack Wagner/Brian Wilson
Well, along with our special feature of this Beach Boys' Christmas Album,
once again I'm happy to see the smiling face of the leader of this popular
group here in the studio, Brian Wilson. Good to see you again, Brian.
Hi, Jack.
This Beach Boys' Christmas Album is really something. Ah, Dick Reynolds did the
arrangements, I guess, huh?
Yes, he did. He did a beautiful job, a wonderful job.
Is this the first time you've worked with him?
Right. I'd been, uh, wanting to meet him and work with him for quite a long time.
Now who's idea was it to have you featured on this, uh, one particular tune--I, I was
particularly impressed with it--"A Blue Christmas."
Well, I... sort of picked out that song to sing for myself. I, I love the song and uh,
I've always wanted to sing it, so I thought I'd sing it.
Well, maybe this will be the start of a whole new career, huh?
I don't know, that's... It, it could, and it couldn't. Ah... I really don't know.
Well, let's leave it to the listeners to see what they think of it.
Right.
I notice this album has uh, ah, along with some of the popular things like, uh, "I'll
Be Home For Christmas," uh, "Auld Lang Syne," and uh, um, "We Three Kings" and some of
the traditional things, that you have a couple of your, your own, uh, Beach Boys type
sounds in the LP, too.
Uh-huh, we've more or less made one side, uh, our own style, and...
Kind of a teen side and an adult side.
Uh-huh, right, um-hm. Contrasting.
Uh-huh. Now, we have, uh, one of your originals coming up here, Brian. Uh, "Christmas Day."
You wrote this for the album specifically?
Yes, I did. Uh-huh.
Uh-huh. And now, do you do your, the vocal arrangements, or did Dick Reynolds handle all of that?
Dick handled the vocal arrangements on the, ah, the modern side--the traditional side--and I
did the, ah, vocal and the arrangements of the music on our own style--our basic
style--side. Dick did the strings, also, on the, uh, on the modern side.
Coming up now, ah, a very sentimental type Christmas song, particularly for those who are away
from home during this time of year--"I'll Be Home For Christmas." Any, ah, thing particular
about this, this tune that you'd like to say, Brian?
Ah, well, I guess there's something very obvious when you hear the song. It's, ah, there's a
very definite influence of the Four Freshmen on the arrangement as well as the delivery, and,
uh, obviously we all look up and admire the style of the Four Freshmen and, uh, I feel this
has been the greatest--one of the greater--vocal influences, ah, in the world today.
Well, it's certainly been, uh, nice of you to take the time to come by again here for our
special Beach Boys' Christmas show. You have a fine album here and, uh, I hope you'll be home
for Christmas.
Well, I hope I will, too. I hope everyone's home for Christmas.
I do, too. Brian Wilson, thanks again for coming by.
Thank you very much, Jack.
And here again, the Beach Boys' Christmas Album.
