Was The Night - Ray Callcut/Lea Hart/Bruce Dickinson[00:00:00]

'Twas the night before Christmas[00:00:15]

When all through the house[00:00:17]

Not a creature was stirring[00:00:18]

Not even a mouse[00:00:20]

The stockings were hung by[00:00:22]

The chimney with care[00:00:24]

In hopes that St Nicholas[00:00:26]

Soon would be there[00:00:28]

The children were nestled[00:00:29]

All snug in their beds[00:00:31]

While visions of sugar plums[00:00:33]

Danced in their heads[00:00:34]

And mamma in her kerchief[00:00:40]

And I in my cap[00:00:41]

Had just settled down[00:00:43]

For a long winter's nap[00:00:44]

When out on the lawn[00:00:47]

There arose such a clatter[00:00:48]

I sprang from the bed to see[00:00:50]

What was the matter[00:00:52]

Away to the window[00:00:54]

I flew like a flash[00:00:55]

Tore open the shutters[00:00:57]

And threw up the sash[00:00:59]

The moon on the breast of[00:01:08]

The new fallen snow[00:01:09]

Gave the lustre of mid[00:01:11]

Day to objects below[00:01:13]

When what to my wondering[00:01:15]

Eyes should appear[00:01:16]

But a miniature sleigh[00:01:22]

And eight tiny reindeer[00:01:23]

With a little old driver[00:01:25]

So lively and quick[00:01:27]

I knew in a moment[00:01:29]

It must be St Nick[00:01:32]

More rapid than eagles[00:01:39]

His coursers they came[00:01:41]

And he whistled and shouted[00:01:43]

And called them by name[00:01:44]

Now Dasher now Dancer now Prancer and Vixen[00:01:46]

On Comet on cupid on Doner and Blitzen[00:01:49]

To the top of the porch[00:01:53]

To the top of the wall[00:01:55]

Now dash away dash away[00:01:57]

Dash away all[00:01:59]

As dry leaves that before[00:02:04]

The wild hurricane fly[00:02:05]

When they meet with an obstacle[00:02:07]

Mount to the sky[00:02:09]

So up to the house top[00:02:11]

The coursers they flew[00:02:13]

With the sleigh full of toys[00:02:14]

And St Nicholas too[00:02:16]

And then in a twinkling[00:02:18]

I heard on the roof[00:02:19]

The prancing and pawing[00:02:21]

Of each little hoof[00:02:23]

As I drew in my hand[00:02:25]

And was turning around[00:02:26]

Down the chimney St Nicholas[00:02:28]

Came with a bound[00:02:30]

He was dressed all in fur[00:02:39]

From his head to his foot[00:02:40]

And his clothes were all[00:02:42]

Tarnished with ashes and soot[00:02:43]

A bundle of toys he had flung on his back[00:02:46]

And he looked like a peddler[00:02:49]

Just opening his pack[00:02:51]

His eyes how they twinkled[00:02:53]

His dimples how merry[00:02:54]

His cheeks were like roses[00:02:57]

His nose like a cherry[00:02:58]

His droll little mouth[00:03:04]

Was drawn up like a bow[00:03:05]

And the beard of his chin[00:03:07]

Was as white as the snow[00:03:08]

The stump of a pipe[00:03:10]

He held tight in his teeth[00:03:12]

And the smoke it encircled[00:03:14]

His head like a wreath[00:03:15]

He had a broad face[00:03:17]

And a little round belly[00:03:19]

That shook when he laughed[00:03:21]

Like a bowlful of jelly[00:03:22]

He was chubby and plump[00:03:31]

A right jolly old elf[00:03:33]

And I laughed when I saw him[00:03:35]

In spite of myself[00:03:37]

A wink of his eye[00:03:38]

And a twist of his head[00:03:41]

Soon gave me to know[00:03:45]

I had nothing to dread[00:03:47]

He spoke not a word[00:03:49]

But went straight to his work[00:03:50]

And filled all the stockings[00:03:52]

Then turned with a jerk[00:03:55]

And laying his finger[00:04:00]

Aside of his nose[00:04:01]

And giving a nod[00:04:03]

Up the chimney he rose[00:04:04]

He sprang to his sleigh[00:04:06]

To his team gave a whistle[00:04:09]

And away they all flew[00:04:13]

Like the down of a thistle[00:04:15]

But I heard him exclaim[00:04:17]

Here he drove out of sight[00:04:19]

Happy Christmas to all[00:04:20]

And to all a good night[00:04:23]
