Twas The Night Before Christmas - Perry Como[00:00:01]
It was the night before Christmas[00:00:09]
When all through the house[00:00:11]
Not a creature was stirring[00:00:12]
Not even a mouse[00:00:14]
The stockings all hung[00:00:16]
By the chimney with care[00:00:17]
In hopes that st nicholas[00:00:19]
Soon would be there[00:00:21]
The children were nestled[00:00:23]
All safe in their beds[00:00:24]
While visions of sugarplums[00:00:26]
Danced in their heads[00:00:28]
And mom in her kerchief[00:00:31]
And I in my cap[00:00:32]
Had just settled down[00:00:34]
For a long winter's nap[00:00:35]
When out on the lawn[00:00:39]
There arose such a clatter[00:00:39]
I sprang from my bed[00:00:41]
To see what was the matter[00:00:42]
Away to the window[00:00:43]
I flew like a flash[00:00:44]
Tore open the shutters[00:00:45]
And threw up the sash[00:00:46]
The moon on the breast[00:00:48]
Of the new fallen snow[00:00:50]
Gave the lustre of midday[00:00:51]
To object below[00:00:52]
When what to my wandering eyes[00:00:54]
Should appear[00:00:56]
But a miniature sleigh[00:00:57]
And eight tiny reindeer[00:00:59]
With a little ol' driver[00:01:04]
So lively and quick[00:01:05]
I knew in a moment[00:01:06]
It must be st nick[00:01:07]
More rapid than eagles[00:01:09]
His courses they came[00:01:10]
As he whistled and shouted[00:01:12]
And called them by name[00:01:13]
And quot now dasher[00:01:15]
Now dancer[00:01:15]
Now prancer[00:01:16]
Now vixen[00:01:16]
On comet[00:01:17]
On cupid[00:01:18]
On doner[00:01:18]
An' blitzen'[00:01:19]
To the top of the porch[00:01:20]
To the top of the wall[00:01:22]
Now dash away dash away[00:01:24]
Dash away all[00:01:25]
As dry leaves[00:01:28]
Before the wild hurricane fly[00:01:28]
When they meet with an obstacle[00:01:31]
Mount to the sky[00:01:33]
So up to the housetop[00:01:34]
The courses they flew[00:01:35]
With a sleigh full of toys[00:01:37]
And st nicholas too[00:01:40]
And then in a twinkling[00:01:43]
I heard on the roof[00:01:44]
The prancing and pawing[00:01:46]
Of each little hoof[00:01:48]
As I drew in my head[00:01:49]
And was turning around[00:01:50]
Down the chimney st nicholas[00:01:51]
Came with a bound[00:01:53]
He was dressed all in fur[00:01:58]
From his head to his foot[00:01:59]
And his clothes were all tarnished[00:02:01]
With ashes and soot[00:02:03]
A bundle of toys[00:02:04]
He had flung on his back[00:02:05]
And he looked like a peddler[00:02:07]
Just opening his pack[00:02:08]
His eyes how they twinkled[00:02:10]
His dimples how merry[00:02:12]
His cheeks were like roses[00:02:14]
His nose like a cherry[00:02:17]
His drawl little mouth[00:02:19]
Was drawn up like a bow[00:02:20]
And the beard of his chin[00:02:22]
Was a white as the snow[00:02:24]
The stump of his pipe[00:02:26]
He held tight in his teeth[00:02:27]
And the smoke it encircled his head[00:02:29]
Like a wreath[00:02:31]
He had a broad face[00:02:33]
And a round little belly[00:02:34]
That shook when he laughed[00:02:36]
Like a bowl full of jelly[00:02:37]
He was chubby and plump[00:02:40]
A right jolly old elf[00:02:41]
I laughed when I saw him[00:02:44]
In spite of myself[00:02:45]
A wink of his eye[00:02:47]
And a twist of his head[00:02:48]
Soon gave me to know[00:02:50]
I had nothing to dread[00:02:52]
He spoke not a word[00:02:56]
But went straight to his work[00:02:56]
And filled all the stockings[00:02:58]
Then turned with a jerk[00:02:59]
An' laying a finger[00:03:02]
Along side his nose[00:03:03]
An' giving a nod[00:03:04]
Up the chimney he rose[00:03:05]
He sprang to his sleigh[00:03:10]
To his team gave a whistle[00:03:11]
An' away they all flew[00:03:13]
Like the down of a thistle[00:03:14]
But I heard him exclaim[00:03:16]
As he drove out of sight[00:03:17]
Happy Christmas to all[00:03:20]
And to all a goodnight[00:03:22]
Hm[00:03:25]
