The Night Before Christmas - Original Version

Jennifer and gang:
It's the night before Christmas
and all through the house...
Gustavo: Nothing!

It's the night before Christmas
The night before Christmas
The night before Christmas

Jennifer: A tree!
Jennifer and gang:
We need a tree!

A lovely pine, perhaps a spruce
And someone has to buy the goose
And when you do buy chesnuts too
Berries and bows and candlelights

It's Christmas eve!
I can't believe
How can it be we have no tree?

Jennifer and gang:
It's the night before Christmas
The night before Christmas
The night before Christmas

Oh, look the halls
The blankness calls
Nothing but walls
We'll need some plants, ribbons and bells
And Christmas smells, our Christmas mat
And Christmas wreath

We'll make this hall fit for a ball, and then we'll
see the Christmas tree!
It's the night before Christmas
There's so much to do
There's popcorn to string!
We need holly and bowers of flowers

Poin-settias are great!
Let's make snowflakes to hang on the window
With presents to wrap, like socks, clocks, a toy box!
And baths still to take
Mittens to knit
Christmas cookies to bake

It's the night before Christmas
The night before Christmas
The night before Christmas!

And yes the food!

To go with goose, cranberry juice
A chocolate mousse, mince pie
And yam, cookies a tea
A Christmas log and some eggnog

If not a feast, a meal at least
Until they see our Christmas tree!

It's the night before Christmas
Tomorrow's so fun
But now there's a house
Full of work to be done!

Guests can't arrive and see bundles of wash
Old boots and work suits just everywhere

It's the night before Christmas
When everything's great
But now there's just hours
And everything's late

Scrub this and rub that!
The house has to glow

It's the night before Christmas! Oh, no!
It's the night before Christmas
With friends on the way
I'm wearing my best dress!
So rushed, my hair's brushed!

It's the night before Christmas
The best time of year
It's starting to snow!
With good friends and family

We're ready, all ready
For carols and barrels of good times
And lighting the tree!

Oh Gustavo you're just going to have to smile
It's Christmas!
(Gustavo) "Oh, alright..."
