06 Dec 98 - 04:24 AM (#48233) Subject: Lyr Add: CHRISTMAS ISLAND (Lyle Moraine) From: Musicman Found in the Readers Digest Christmas Songbook: How'd ja like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island? How'd ja like to spend a holiday away across the sea? How'd ja like to spend Christmas on Christmas Island? How'd ja like to hang your stockin' on a great big coconut tree? How'd ja 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 ev'ry day your Christmas dreams come true. Words and Music By Lyle Moraine, copyright 1946 |

21 Nov 02 - 03:06 PM (#831863) Subject: RE: Chord Req: On Christmas Island From: late 'n short 2 That is indeed the one, Nutty, and the link also contains a Midi file so maybe someone out there can "hear" the chords and provide them. I believe Gene Autry and Don Ho have also recorded this. |

Well - OK Try This one recently written by me - a different song used as a base though :-) - a tune more people will know - BTW certain naughty friends have been cheeky enough to forward copies to their friends who actually ARE involved with certain political parties - perhaps I should start my own "When I Disappear" thread? :-) So Joybell, WHEN are YOU gunnasingit? :-) or bully your friends to... ;-) Actually, I like the words of the song that started this thread - pity I can't hear the tune - no working sound card... I seem to vaguely remember this song from somewhere... Robin |
