'Twas the Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
The stockings all hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there

Twas the night before Christmas
The stockings all hung with care
Twas the night before Christmas
St. Nicholas soon will be there

The children were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads
With Ma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap

Twas the night before Christmas
The stockings all hung with care
Twas the night before Christmas
St. Nicholas soon will be there

Now out on the roof there arose such a clatter
I sprang from my bed just to see what's the matter
Away to the window I flew like a flash
And I tore open the shutter, and I threw up the sash

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave a lustre of midday to objects below
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear
But a miniature sleigh and eight teeny-tiny reindeer

A little old driver, so lively and quick
I knew in a moment that this gotta be St. Nick
More rapid than eagles, his coursers they came
And he whistled and he shouted and he called them by name

Now Dasher and Dancer
And Prancer and Vixen
On, Comet and Cupid
On, Donner and Blitzen
To the top of the porch
To the top of the wall
Now dash away, dash away
Dash away all

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle
But I heard him exclaim, as he rode out of sight
Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night

Twas the night before Christmas
The stockings all hung with care
Twas the night before Christmas
St. Nicholas soon will be there

Twas the night before Christmas
The stockings all hung with care
Twas the night before Christmas
St. Nicholas soon will be there
St. Nicholas soon will be there
