Gimme That Old Time ReligionSolo, SATB and piano

Traditional tune arranged by(and additional lyrics by)

Jane Ramseyer Miller

Gimme that old time religion, gimme that old time religion,Gimme that old time religion.

It’s good enough for me!

Oh, the ancient goddess NerthusFrom herself the earth did birth us.

And I wonder, “Are we worth us?” but she’s good enough for me.[Chorus}

The are those who practice voodoo.You know I do, I know you do.

And between us we know who do, and it’s good enough for me.{Chorus}

Modern Christians sure are waryOf those lesbians and faeries.

I don’t care, I’ll marry Larry ‘cause he’s good enough for me.

Jews, we rest upon the Shabbas,Go to shul, put on our tallis.

If Madonna digs Kabbala then it’s good enough for me.{Chorus}

I shall stay a firm agnostic,I can’t do a double crostic.

Those religions can get caustic. That’s not good enough for me.{Chorus}

We’ll sing praises to Apollo;For the sun’s rays he doth follow.

He’ll be back again tomorrow, and he’s good enough for me.It was good enough for Sappho

With a lady on her lap-‐o.She put Lesbos on the map-‐o with her Pagan poetry.

{Chorus}

Doctor Bob and ole Bill DubyaClean from alcohol will scrub ya

‘Cause your Higher Power loves ya, and that’s good enough for me.{Chorus}

We will pray just like the Quakers…… and it’s good enough for me.

{Chorus}

We will pray with New Age Aquarians,And hang out in planetariums.

Lotta them are Unitarians and it’s good enough for me.{Chorus}

Ahhhhh… umm.

You see them on the television, hear them on the radio.Read it in the magazines, it’s ev’ry where you go.

I don’t care what people do behind the locks of bedroom doors.Who you are in private there is nobody’s affair but your’s.

But there’s a line that must be drawn in order to avoid the tears.And I don’t want my children being influenced by queers.

Okay, so tear down the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, destroy the Mona Lisa and the Pieta.Smash all the recordings of Tchaikovsky’s music. Don’t let them learn of Lawrence of Arabia.

Burn all the movies of Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garba, Jane Lynch and Daris Day.Don’t let them wear Gaultier or Gianni Versace…

And don’t let them see any of Rock Hudson on the way. Oo-‐ah-‐lah!

Liberace, Nureyev, and Doogie Houser.Cole Porter, Freddy Mercury, Melissa E.Elton John, Culture Club and Lady Gaga!

Don’t let them watch Ellen, or listen to K.D.

Make sure they stay away from GLEE and PlatoDon’t let them read Oscar Wilde or Gertrude Stein.

Don’t let them watch a tennis match or golf or softball,And please don’t let them listen to this chorus of mine.

Tear down the ceiling ceiling of the Sistine ChapelIf you don’t want your children being influenced by queers.

Smash all the recordings of Tchaikovsky’s musicIf you don’t want your children being influenced by queers.

Burn all the movies of Marlene DeitrichIf you don’t want your children being influenced by queers.

Don’t let them wear Gaultier or Gianni VersaceIf you don’t want your children being influenced by queers.

Make sure they stay away from GLEE and PlatoIf you don’t want your children being influenced by queers.

Elton John, Culture Club and Lady Gaga!(Baby I was born this way!)

If you don’t want your children being influenced by queers.(And please don’t let them listen to this chorus of mine.)

These Holidays!

SATB a cappella

Music and lyrics by

Michael Davis

These holidays need a little o’ that old fashioned music.

These holidays need a little o’ that rhythm and harmony.

Cold wind and gray skies will get you down if they can,

Oh, until the music puts the wonder back into the Winter Wonderland!

These holidays need a little more music, yes they dao.

Snow storm and cloudy days try to get the best of you.

So join the chorus and strike up the band,

And let the sweet music put the wonder back into the Winter Wonderland!

We don’t need more fancy clothes, or shiny ribbons and bright red bows.

We’ve got all the pretty decorations anyone could ever need!

We don’t need more mistletoe or tons of presents from a store.

When you’ve got something real, it’s something you can feel!

These holidays need a little more singing in harmony;

Sweeten the way we get together with friends and family.

Ring out the bells and beat the drums if you can

And let the sweet music put the wonder back into the Winter Wonderland.

I just hate to think how it would be without caroling in four part harmony,

Without a song in your heart and a dance stirring in your feet!

We don’t need more diamond rings or any other such expensive things.

We’ve got something real nobody’s ever gonna steal!

These holidays need a little more singing in harmony;

Sweeten the way we get together with friends and family.

Ring out the bells and beat the drums if you can

And let the sweet music put the wonder back into the Winter Wonderland.

Winter Blessing

SATB a cappella

Words and Music by

Lynn Fisher McCanne

Snow on snow, white on white,

The sounds of silence are in the air.

Whisper low the rush of wings,

The hush of the earth.

Come to me soft, sweet,

Come to me for comfort now.

I can give you all you need,

Silence, in peace.

Come to me, come to me,

Silence, peace.

I can give all you need, come to me.

I can give silence, peace.

Hear the blessing of the silence,

Listen, listen.
