'Twas the Night Before Christmas - Perry Como[00:00:01]
'Twas the night before christmas [00:00:10]
When all through the house [00:00:12]
Not a creature was stirring [00:00:13]
Not even a mouse [00:00:15]
The stockings all hung[00:00:17]
By the chimney with care [00:00:18]
In hopes that st nicholas[00:00:20]
Soon would be there [00:00:22]
The children were nestled[00:00:24]
All safe in their beds [00:00:25]
While visions of sugarplums[00:00:27]
Danced in their heads [00:00:29]
And mom in her kerchief[00:00:32]
And I in my cap [00:00:34]
Had just settled down[00:00:35]
For a long winters nap [00:00:37]
When out on the lawn[00:00:40]
There arose such a clatter [00:00:41]
I sprang from my bed[00:00:42]
To see what was the matter [00:00:43]
Away to the window[00:00:44]
I flew like a flash [00:00:45]
Tore open the shutters[00:00:47]
And threw up the sash [00:00:48]
The moon on the breast[00:00:50]
Of the new fallen snow [00:00:51]
Gave the lustre of midday[00:00:52]
To object below [00:00:54]
When what to my wandering eyes[00:00:56]
Should appear [00:00:58]
But a miniature sleigh[00:00:59]
And eight tiny reindeer [00:01:01]
With a little ol driver[00:01:05]
So lively and quick [00:01:06]
I knew in a moment[00:01:08]
It must be st nick [00:01:09]
More rapid than eagles[00:01:11]
His courses they came [00:01:12]
As he whistled and shouted[00:01:13]
And called them by name[00:01:15]
Now dasher [00:01:16]
Now dancer [00:01:17]
Now prancer [00:01:18]
Now vixen [00:01:19]
On comet [00:01:19]
On cupid [00:01:20]
On doner[00:01:20]
An blitzen [00:01:21]
To the top of the porch [00:01:22]
To the top of the wall [00:01:24]
Now dash-away dash-away [00:01:25]
Dash-away all [00:01:27]
As dry leaves[00:01:30]
Before the wild hurricane fly [00:01:31]
When they meet with an obstacle[00:01:33]
Mount to the sky [00:01:35]
So up to the housetop[00:01:36]
The courses they flew [00:01:37]
With a sleigh full of toys[00:01:39]
And st nicholas too [00:01:42]
And then in a twinkling[00:01:45]
I heard on the roof [00:01:47]
The prancing and pawing[00:01:48]
Of each little hoof [00:01:50]
As I drew in my head[00:01:51]
And was turning around [00:01:53]
Down the chimney st nicholas[00:01:54]
Came with a bound [00:01:56]
He was dressed all in fur[00:02:00]
From his head to his foot [00:02:02]
And his clothes were all tarnished[00:02:04]
With ashes and soot [00:02:05]
A bundle of toys[00:02:07]
He had flung on his back [00:02:08]
And he looked like a peddler[00:02:10]
Just opening his pack [00:02:11]
His eyes how they twinkled [00:02:13]
His dimples how merry [00:02:15]
His cheeks were like roses [00:02:17]
His nose like a cherry [00:02:19]
His drawl little mouth[00:02:21]
Was drawn up like a bow [00:02:23]
And the beard of his chin[00:02:25]
Was a white as the snow [00:02:26]
The stump of his pipe[00:02:29]
He held tight in his teeth [00:02:30]
And the smoke it encircled his head[00:02:31]
Like a wreath [00:02:34]
He had a broad face[00:02:35]
And a round little belly [00:02:37]
That shook when he laughed[00:02:39]
Like a bowl full of jelly [00:02:40]
He was chubby and plump [00:02:43]
A right jolly old elf [00:02:44]
I laughed when I saw him[00:02:47]
In spite of myself [00:02:48]
A wink of his eye[00:02:50]
And a twist of his head [00:02:51]
Soon gave me to know[00:02:53]
I had nothing to dread [00:02:55]
He spoke not a word[00:02:59]
But went straight to his work [00:03:00]
And filled all the stockings [00:03:01]
Then turned with a jerk [00:03:03]
An laying a finger[00:03:05]
Along side his nose [00:03:06]
An giving a nod [00:03:07]
Up the chimney he rose [00:03:08]
He sprang to his sleigh [00:03:13]
To his team gave a whistle [00:03:15]
An away they all flew[00:03:16]
Like the down of a thistle [00:03:17]
But I heard him exclaim[00:03:19]
As he drove out of sight [00:03:20]
Happy christmas to all [00:03:23]
And to all a goodnight[00:03:25]
