Christmas Bells

Sing to: The Muffin Man

Oh, do you hear the Christmas bells,
The Christmas bells, the Christmas bells?
Oh, do you hear the Christmas bells,
That ring out loud & clear?
Oh, can you see our Christmas tree,
Our Christmas tree, our Christmas tree?
Oh, can you see our Christmas tree,
It fills the room with cheer.
Oh, do you smell the gingerbread,
The gingerbread, the gingerbread?
Oh, do you smell the gingerbread,
I'm glad Christmas is here. 




The Legend of the Christmas Bell 
There is a tiny bell heard by those who believe, 
That magically rings every year on Christmas Eve. 
So listen for the sound and know that he is near
For that Christmas Bell is ringing, "Santa is coming here."


Ring-a-ling-a-ling
Sing to: If You ’re Happy and You Know It 
If it ’s Christmas and you know it, ring a bell!
If it ’s Christmas and you know it, ring a bell!
If it ’s Christmas and you know it,
Then your face will surely show it!
If it ’s Christmas and you know it,
ring a bell!
Sing additional verses replacing ring a bell with trim a tree, wrap a gift, and say “Ho!Ho!Ho!” in rote. 


 Ring the Bells
Sing to: London Bridges
Ring the bells it's Christmas time,
Christmas time, Christmas time.
Ring the bells it's Christmas time,
Merry Christmas time!
Addition Verses:
Play the drums it's Christmas time
Tap the sticks it's Christmas time
Clap your hands it's Christmas time




Another Version:




Ring the Bells
Sing to: Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Ring, ring, ring the bells,
Ring them loud and clear
To say to people everywhere
That Christmas time is here. 


Ring Those Bells
  Sing to: She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain

Sing Loudly:
We will ring those Christmas bells so loud and clear,
We will ring those Christmas bells so loud and clear.
We will hear the dingle, dingle, oh when they jingle, jingle.
Yes, we'll ring those Christmas bells so loud and clear.

Sing Softly:
We will ring those Christmas bells so quietly,
We will ring those Christmas bells so quietly.
We will hear the dingle, dingle, oh when they jingle, jingle.
Yes, we'll ring those Christmas bells so quietly.

Fast and Loud:
We will ring those Christmas bells so fast and loud,
We will ring those Christmas bells so fast and loud.
We will hear the dingle, dingle, oh when they jingle, jingle.
Yes, we'll ring those Christmas bells so fast and loud.




Another Version:




Ring Those Bells 

Sing to: Jimmy Crack Corn

Ring those bells and turn around,
Ring those bells and turn around,
Ring those bells and turn around,
Cuz Christmas time is here!

Other Verses:
Ring those bells and stomp your feet, etc.
Ring those bells and jump up high, etc.

Sing a Song of Christmas 

Sing to: Sing a Song of Sixpence

Sing a song of winter,
Frost is in the air.
Sing a song of winter,
Snowflakes everywhere.
Sing a song of winter,
Hear the sleigh bells chime.
Can you think of anything,
As nice as Christmas time?
