Some children see Him lily white,
the baby Jesus born this night.
Some children see Him lily white,
with tresses soft and fair.
Some children see Him bronzed and brown,
The Lord of heav'n to earth come down.
Some children see Him bronzed and brown,
with dark and heavy hair.
Some children see Him almond-eyed,
this Savior whom we kneel beside.
some children see Him almond-eyed,
with skin of yellow hue.
Some children see Him dark as they,
sweet Mary's Son to whom we pray.
Some children see him dark as they,
and, ah! they love Him, too!
The children in each different place
will see the baby Jesus' face
like theirs, but bright with heavenly grace,
and filled with holy light.
O lay aside each earthly thing
and with thy heart as offering,
come worship now the infant King.
'Tis love that's born tonight!
どうやら同名異曲がいくつかあるようで、作曲者のミッキー・ルーニーというのは俳優の Mickey Rooney (born Joseph Yule Jr.; September 23, 1920 – April 6, 2014) ではないかと思うのですが、情報を探し出せませんでした。

Little Christmas Tree
No one to buy you, give yourself to me
You're worth your weight in precious gold, you see
My little Christmas tree
Promise you will be
Nobody else's little Christmas tree
I'll make you sparkle, just you wait and see
My little Christmas tree
I'll put some tinsel in your hair
And you'll find that there's a strange new change
That you have never seen
I'll bring my boy a toy
He'll jump for joy
To see his bright new queen
With me you will go far
I'll show Saint Nick the tree you really are
And there'll be peace on Earth when Daddy lights your star
My little Christmas tree
With me you will go far
I'll show Saint Nick the tree you really are
And there'll be peace on Earth when Daddy lights your star
My little Christmas tree
You're big enough for three

これまでいくつもの曲に出てきた「ミスルトゥ」、日本ではあんまり知られていませんね。
It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you "be of good cheer"
It's the most wonderful time of the year
It's the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings
And gay happy meetings when friends come to call
It's the hap-happiest season of all
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing when loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing when loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time of the year

Singing carols
Stringing popcorn
Making footprint in the snooow
Mem'ries
Christmas Memries
They're the sweetest ones I know
Cookies baking
In the kitchen
Cards and ribbons
Everywhere3
Frosty Christmas Mem'ries
Float like snowflakes in the air
And oh the joy of waking X-mas morning
The fam'ly round the tree
We had a way of making X-mas morning
As merry as can be
I close my eyes and see
Shiny faces
Of all the children
Who now have children of their own
Funny
But come December'
I remember every X-mas I've known
We had a way of making X-mas morning
As merry as can be
I close my eyes and see
Those shiny faces
Of all the children who now have children
Of their own
It's funny
But come December
When I remember
Every X-mas I've ever knooown
Singing carols
Stringing popcorn
Shiny faces of all the children
Precious mem'ries
Of every Christmaaaas
I've known....
この曲は Robert Lewis May が1939年に書いた同名の子供向けの本に登場するキャラクターに、
彼の義兄弟にあたる作曲者のジョニー・マークスが曲を書いたものです。
この作品の中ではトナカイがたくさん出てきますが、その中でも目立つキャラクターがルドルフです。
カントリー・ミュージシャンのジーン・オートリーが1949年に初録音し、大ヒットしました。
可愛い曲なので、いまや日本でも保育園ですら歌われる曲になっています。

(verse)
All year long in the mountains
Lives an old man, they say.
He wraps up bundles with ribbons,
Just to give them away.
All year long in the mountains,
He looks down to see
Kids that are good, and kids that are bad,
And treats them accordingly.
(refrain)
If you want toys like other little boys
In your neighborhood,
Don't wait 'til the night before Christmas
To be good.
And dolls with curls are for the little girls,
Who do things they should,
So don't wait 'til the night before Christmas
To be good.
You can't fool Mister Santa Claus,
He knows right from wrong;
And you can't be right for just one night,
You gotta be right, right along.
You'd love to see another Christmas tree
Where the old one stood.
So don't wait 'til the night before Christmas
To be good.
(patter)
Santa Claus has a big book
That helps him to remember,
He can tell each kid the things they did
From January to December.
Jimgle bells never jingle
For the very bad ones.
Ev'ry Christmas Day, the good are gay
And the bad ones are the sad ones.

クリスマス島というのは豪州にあるのですが、曲調はハワイアン風ですね。
サンタがカヌーに乗ってプレゼントを運んでくるというのも楽しいですね。

Let's get away from sleigh bells, let's get away from snow
Let's make a break some Christmas, Dear, I know the place to go
How'd ya like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?
How'd ya like to spend the holiday away across the sea?
How'd ya like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island?
How'd ya like to hang a stocking on a great big coconut tree?
How'd ya like to stay up late, like the islanders do?
Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe
If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island
You will never stray for everyday
Your Christmas dreams come true
How'd ya like to stay up late like the islanders do?
Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe
If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island
You will never stray, for everyday
Your Christmas dreams come true
On Christmas Island your dreams come true
