Calypso Noel
Year: 1966
Written By: Gordon Krunnfsz
It may sound like it
belongs to a much warmer season and would go down with several
cocktails but 'Calypso Noel' is still a nice quirky addition to the
Christmas soundtrack. It was released by Johnny Mathis for his
million-selling 1969 album 'Give Me Your Love for Christmas', which
included 11 secular Christmas songs. Mathis did not write the song,
it was written 3 years earlier by Gordon Krunnfsz, but his version
is the most widely recognised. 'Give Me Your Love for Christmas'
was Mathis' third full-holiday album and he would go on to record
two more, marking him out as one of the Christmas greats.
Calypso Noel Lyrics
Sing we Noel, sing we joyously Noel!
Joyously sing the news we have to tell!
Born to us in the little village of Bethlehem on this day,
Is the little Christ Child so pure and holy;
He's sleeping there in the hay.
Poor little baby, no other place was found,
Except in a manger with cows and sheep around.
Oh, sing Noel!
Oh, yet the glory of this wee baby was sung by angels so sing
Noel!
Oh, sing Noel! fair;
There were Wise Men and shepherds to give Him honor and
Oh, sing Noel! bring Him presents so
rare.
