Twas the Night Before Christmas - Jo Stafford[00:00:00]

Written by：Clement C. Moore/Paul Weston[00:00:02]

T'was the night before Christmas and all through the house[00:00:20]

Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse[00:00:24]

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care[00:00:28]

In the hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there[00:00:32]

The children were nestled all snug in their beds[00:00:37]

While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads[00:00:41]

Mom in her kerchief and I in my cap[00:00:45]

Had just settled down for a long winter's nap[00:00:49]

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter[00:00:58]

I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter[00:01:01]

Away to the window I flew like a flash[00:01:03]

Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash[00:01:06]

When what to my wondering eyes should appear[00:01:10]

But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer[00:01:14]

With a little old driver so lively and quick[00:01:18]

I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick[00:01:22]

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came[00:01:26]

And he whistled and he shouted and he called them by name[00:01:29]

On dasher on dancer on prancer and vixen[00:01:32]

On comet on cupid on donner and blitzen[00:01:35]

To the top of the porch to the top of the wall[00:01:39]

Now dash away dash away dash away all[00:01:43]

So up to the rooftop the coursers they flew[00:01:54]

With a sleigh full of toys and St. Nicholas too[00:01:58]

And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof[00:02:01]

The prancing the pawing of each little hoof[00:02:06]

He was all dressed in fur from his head to his foot[00:02:14]

His clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot[00:02:17]

As I drew in my head and was turning around[00:02:21]

Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound[00:02:25]

His eyes how they twinkled his dimples how merry[00:02:33]

His cheeks were like roses his nose like a cherry[00:02:37]

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow[00:02:42]

And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow[00:02:46]

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth[00:02:50]

And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath[00:02:53]

He had a broad face and a little round belly[00:02:57]

That shook when laughed like a bowl full of jelly[00:02:59]

He was chubby and plump a right jolly old elf[00:03:03]

And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself[00:03:07]

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head[00:03:10]

Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread[00:03:14]

He spoke not a word but went straight to his work[00:03:18]

And filled all the stockings and turned with a jerk[00:03:22]

And laying is finger to the side of his nose[00:03:26]

And giving a nod up the chimney he rose[00:03:30]

He sprang to his sleigh to his team gave a whistle[00:03:39]

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle[00:03:42]

But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight[00:03:46]

Happy Christmas to all and to all goodnight[00:03:51]
