'Twas The Night Before Christmas (Remastered) - Art Carney[00:00:00]
Written by:Moore[00:00:02]
Twas the night[00:00:04]
Before Christmas[00:00:05]
When all through the house[00:00:06]
Not a creature was stirring[00:00:07]
Not even a mouse[00:00:08]
The stockings all hung[00:00:10]
By the chimney with care[00:00:11]
In hopes[00:00:12]
That St Nicholas[00:00:12]
Soon would be there[00:00:13]
The children were nestled[00:00:14]
All safe in their beds[00:00:15]
While visions of sugarplums[00:00:17]
Danced in their heads[00:00:18]
Then mom in her kerchief[00:00:19]
And I in my cap[00:00:20]
Had just settled down[00:00:22]
For a long winters nap[00:00:23]
When out on the lawn[00:00:24]
There arose such a clatter[00:00:25]
I sprang from my bed[00:00:26]
To see what was the matter[00:00:27]
Away to the window[00:00:29]
I flew like a flash[00:00:30]
Tore open the shutters[00:00:31]
Threw up the sash[00:00:32]
When what[00:00:33]
To my wandering eyes[00:00:34]
Should appear[00:00:35]
But a miniature sleigh[00:00:35]
And eight tiny reindeer[00:00:37]
With a little ol driver[00:00:38]
So lively and quick[00:00:39]
I knew in a moment[00:00:40]
It must be St nick[00:00:42]
More rapid than eagles[00:00:43]
His courses they came[00:00:44]
As he whistled[00:00:45]
And shouted[00:00:45]
And called[00:00:46]
Them by name[00:00:46]
Now dasher[00:00:47]
Now dancer[00:00:48]
Now prancer[00:00:48]
Now vixen[00:00:49]
On comet[00:00:49]
On cupid[00:00:50]
On doner[00:00:50]
An blitzen[00:00:51]
To the top[00:00:52]
Of the porch[00:00:53]
To the top[00:00:53]
Of the wall[00:00:54]
Now dash away[00:00:55]
Dash away[00:00:55]
Dash away all[00:00:56]
So up[00:00:57]
To the housetop[00:00:57]
The courses[00:00:58]
They flew[00:00:58]
With a sleigh[00:00:59]
Full of toys[00:01:00]
And St Nicholas too[00:01:00]
And then[00:01:01]
In a twinkling[00:01:02]
I heard on the roof[00:01:03]
The prancing[00:01:04]
And pawing[00:01:04]
Of each little hoof[00:01:05]
As I drew in my head[00:01:06]
And was turning around[00:01:07]
Down the chimney[00:01:08]
St Nicholas[00:01:09]
Came with a bound[00:01:10]
He was dressed[00:01:11]
All in fur[00:01:11]
From his head[00:01:12]
To his foot[00:01:13]
And his clothes[00:01:13]
Were all tarnished[00:01:14]
With ashes and soot[00:01:15]
A bundle of toys[00:01:16]
He had flung[00:01:17]
On his back[00:01:17]
And he looked[00:01:18]
Like a peddler[00:01:18]
Just opening[00:01:19]
His pack[00:01:19]
His eyes[00:01:20]
How they twinkle[00:01:21]
His dimples how merry[00:01:21]
His cheeks[00:01:23]
Were like roses[00:01:23]
His nose like a cherry[00:01:24]
His drawl little mouth[00:01:25]
Was drawn up like a bow[00:01:26]
And the beard of his chin[00:01:27]
Was a white as the snow[00:01:29]
The stump of his pipe[00:01:30]
He held tight[00:01:31]
In his teeth[00:01:31]
And the smoke it[00:01:32]
Encircled his head[00:01:33]
Like a wreath[00:01:33]
He had a broad face[00:01:34]
And a round little belly[00:01:36]
That shook when he laughed[00:01:37]
Like a bowl full of jelly[00:01:38]
He was chubby and plump[00:01:39]
A right jolly old elf[00:01:40]
I laughed when I saw him[00:01:41]
In spite of myself[00:01:43]
He spoke not a word[00:01:44]
But went straight[00:01:45]
To his work[00:01:45]
And filled[00:01:46]
All the stockings[00:01:47]
Then turned[00:01:47]
With a jerk[00:01:48]
He rose[00:01:50]
An laying a finger[00:01:51]
Along side his nose[00:01:52]
An giving a nod[00:01:53]
Up the chimney[00:01:54]
He rose[00:01:55]
He sprang[00:01:56]
To his sleigh[00:01:56]
To his team[00:01:57]
Gave a whistle[00:01:58]
An away[00:01:58]
They all flew[00:01:59]
Like the down[00:01:59]
Of a thistle[00:02:00]
But I heard him exclaim[00:02:00]
As he drove out of sight[00:02:01]
Happy christmas to all[00:02:04]
And to all a goodnight[00:02:06]
