toddsyr,
I like it when I discover that a song as additional verses that performers choose not to perform. Some songs, like "Anything Goes" has a lot of verses that are no longer sung because they involve scandals that were well known at the time the song was written but have now been lost in time so no longer of interest to current listeners.
There is an additional part to "White Christmas" that even has a different melody than the rest of the song that explains why the singer is "dreaming of a white Christmas" that is hardly ever performed because it seems a little out of place in the mood of the song. That additional part goes:
The Sun is shining, the grass is green,
The orange and palm trees sway,
There has never been such a day,
in Beverly Hill, L.A.
But its December the 24th,
And I'm longing to be back North. . .
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas. . .
The extra verses to "seasons in the Sun" turn it into a ghostly stalker song:
Goodbye, Francoise, my faithful wife
Without you, I'd have had a lonely life
You cheated lots of times but then
I forgave you in the end
For your lover was my friend
Adieu, Francoise, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now, that the spring is in the air
With your lovers everywhere
Just be careful, I'll be there
