Swedish House Mafia - Save The World (tonight)

Swedish House Mafia - Save The World  (tonight) Karaoke

Sing along!




Into the streets, we're coming down
We never sleep,
Never get tired
Through urban fields, and suburban life
Turn the crowd up now,
We'll never back down
Shoot down a skyline, watch it in primetime
Turn up the love now, listen up now,  turn up the love

Who's gonna save the world tonight?
Who's gonna bring you back to life?
We're gonna make it, you and I
We're gonna Save The World tonight

Ohoh oh oh, oh oh ohoh oh [x9]

We're far from home, it's for the better
What we dream, it's all that matters
We're on our way, united

Turn the crowd up now,
We'll never back down
Shoot down a skyline, watch it in primetime
Turn up the love now, listen up now, turn up the love

Who's gonna save the world tonight?
Who's gonna bring you back to life?
We're gonna make it, you and I
We're gonna Save The World tonight

Ohoh oh oh, oh oh ohoh oh [repeated til end]

Jingle Bells



Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh yeah

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh




Believe it or not, Jingle Bells, one of the most famous American Christmas songs, was originally written for Thanksgiving! The author and composer of Jingle Bells was a minister called James Pierpoint who composed the song in 1857 for children celebrating his Boston Sunday School Thanksgiving. The song was so popular that it was repeated at Christmas, and indeed Jingle Bells has been reprised ever since. The essence of a traditional Christmas is captured in the lyrics of Jingle Bells and the sound effects using the bells have become synonymous with the arrival of Father Christmas or Santa Claus to the delight of children of all ages!

Rockin' around the Christmas Tree



Rockin’ around the Christmas Tree
At the Christmas Party Hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing, "Let's be jolly,
Deck the halls with boughs of holly"

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin' merrily
In the new old-fashioned way

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing, "Let's be jolly,
Deck the halls with boughs of holly"

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin' merrily
In the new old-fashioned way !!!

Shake Up Christmas


Shake Up Christmas

Ho-ho-ho
Shake up the happiness 
Wake up the happiness
Shake up the happiness 
It's Christmas time

There's a story that I was told
And I wanna tell the world before I get too old
And don't remember it so let's December it
And reassemble it, oh yeah

Once upon a time in a town like this
A little girl made a great big wish
To fill the world full of happiness
And be on Santa's magic list

Shake it up
Shake up the happiness
Wake it up
Wake up the happiness
Come on y'all
It's Christmas time

Shake it up
Shake up the happiness
Wake it up
Wake up the happiness
Come on y'all
It's Christmas time

Ho-ho-ho
Ho-ho-ho 
 It's Christmas time

At the same time miles away
A little boy made a wish that day
That the world would be OK
And Santa Claus would hear him say:
I got dreams and I got love
I got my feet on the ground
And family above
Can you send some happiness
With my best to the rest of the people
Of the East and the West and
Maybe every once in a while you
Give my Grandma a reason to smile
It is the season of smile
It's cold but we'll be freezing in style
Let me meet a girl one day
That wants to spread some love this way
We can let our souls run free and
She can open some happiness with me

Shake it up…

I know you're out there
I hear your reindeer
I see the snow where
Your boots have been
I'm gonna show them
So they will know then
Their love will grow
When they believe again.

Shake it up…

Ho-ho-ho
Ho-ho-ho
It's Christmas time
Ho-ho-ho
Ho-ho-ho

Shake it up…

 

Hold my hand


HOLD MY HAND
This life don't last forever  (hold my hand)
So tell me what we're waiting for  (hold my hand)
We're better off being together  (hold my hand)
Than being miserable alone (hold my hand)

Cause I've been there before
And you've been there before
But together we can be alright.
Cause when it gets dark and when it gets cold
We hold each other till we see the sunlight

So if you just hold my hand
Baby I promise that I'll do  all I can
Things will get better if you just hold my hand
Nothing can come between us if you just hold,
hold my, hold my,  hold my hand.
Hold my hand.

The nights are getting darker  (hold my hand)
And there's no peace inside  (hold my hand)
So why make our lives harder  (hold my hand)
By fighting love, tonight. (sooooo)

Cause I've been there before
And you've been there before
But together we can be alright
Cause when it gets dark and when it gets cold
We hold each other till we see the sunlight

So if you just hold my hand
Baby I promise that I'll do
All I can  (If you just, If you just)
Things will get better if you just hold my hand
Nothing can come between us if you just hold,
hold my,  hold my,  hold my hand.
Hold my hand .

I can tell that you're tired of being lonely
Take my hand, don't let go, baby hold me
Come to me,  let me be your one and only
So I can make it alright, til' the morning

I can tell that you're tired of being lonely
Take my hand, don't let go, baby hold me
Come to me, let me be your one and only
So I can make it alright, til' the morning

Hold my hand
Baby I promise  that I'll do all I can
Things will get better if you just hold my hand  
Nothing can come between us if you just hold,
hold my,  hold my,  hold my hand.

Hold my hand (yeahh) (x3)
Nothing can come between us if you just hold,
hold my,  hold my,  hold my hand.

Hold my hand

Song: Sagi Rei, I'll fly with you

A song performed by the romantic girls of class 3LSA during an X-Factor lesson:



A nice example of the simple future tense use...

And now, try to sing this song on the base only!






An Israeli singer and guitarist born in 1975, Sagi-Rei moved to Italy in 1989, where he lives and works. Sagi-Rei attracted immediate attention with the release of his first album, 2005’s "Emotional Songs" (also released as "Acoustic Dance" in 2006), consisting exclusively of acoustic renditions of classic dance hits from the 1990s, such as Haddaway’s “What Is Love” and Snap!’s “Rhythm Is a Dancer.”

Hallowe'en!

Hallowe'en


Hallowe'en is a special ghost festival. It happens on the night of 31 October. People wear special clothes at Hallowe'en. They tell ghost stories and play games.

Hallow'en is very popular in the USA. Children visit the houses of their neighbours. They wear strange costumes and say 'trick or treat? The neighbour then gives them a 'treat' or something nice. This could be a sweet or an apple.



 
The Jack-o'-lantern is a popular part of Halloween. This is a pumpkin with a face carved out (see picture above). Inside the pumkin there is a candle. The candle is to frighten the witches away.

Another tradition is a special Halloween cake. This has a silver coin inside. When the cake is cut, someone finds the coin in one of the pieces. This person will become rich.

Today Halloween is a fun festival. But in the past it was very frightening. People called it 'The night of the flying witches.' They thought these witches could do terrible magic. They lit fires to frighten them.
.

Hallowe'en Jokes:


Q: Where do mummies go for a swim?
A: To the dead sea.


Q: Mommy, Mommy, the kids all call me a werewolf.
A: Don’t listen to them, dear, now go and comb your face.


Q: Why should a skeleton drink 10 glasses of milk a day?
A: It's good for the bones

Q: What is a young skeleton?
A: A skeleteen.
Q: Where does Dracula keep his valuables?
A: In a blood bank.
Q: How does a witch tell time?
