| 1 | Christmas In the Tropics | It's always fun to make comparisons, though, and Christmas in the Tropics does just that. To us, a Christmas Eve when, instead of an evergreen, the whole house is decorated "with trinkets and tropical fruits" is amusing in itself as are fireworks in the afternoon and the idea of spending the day "in a panama hat and white linen suit". | Lyrics and music by Jester Hairston. Solo: Hamilton Grandison |

| 2 | Christmas Present for Sallie (Calypso derived from Barbados Folk Lore) | This is the sad, comic story of a man made "a victim of hospitality". Starting home on Christmas Eve with a present for his wife, Sallie, he is assailed by friends and relatives insisting he share their holiday spirits. In the course of drinking toasts to his wife and others, he loses the present, his wits, and his Christmas Eve with Sallie. When Sallie catches up with him she gives him twelve empty rum bottles around the head. But when he gets out of the hospital he will buy her a new present and make the best of "a very bad situation". | by Leonard De Paur. Solo: Hamilton Grandison |
|
| 3 | Oh Poor Little Jesus | This is another touching expression of sympathy for the Christ Child, in anticipation of the trial that lay ahead. Who can help feeling that the words "Dis world gonna break your heart" speak for the humble all over the world as the Saviour? | traditional, arranged by Leonard De Paur |
|
| 4 | Ring de Christmas Bells | A fitting climax to this Calypso Yule, a recounting of the three rich kings that brought gifts to the holy Child. First came Gaspar bringing Frankincense, then old Melchior with myrrh, finally Balthasar with a gift of gold . . . "and He shall be King of Kings!"
