The Night Before Christmas (Song) - The Sandpipers[00:00:00]
Was the night before christmas when all through the house[00:00:10]
Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse[00:00:15]
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care[00:00:20]
In hopes that st nicholas soon would be there[00:00:24]
The children were nestled all snug in their beds[00:00:29]
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads[00:00:33]
And mama in her 'kerchief and i in my cap[00:00:38]
Had settled our heads for a long winter's nap[00:00:42]
When out on the lawn there a rose such a clatter[00:00:47]
That i sprang from my bed to see what was the matter[00:00:52]
Away to the window i flew like a flash[00:00:56]
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash[00:01:00]
When what to my wondering eyes should appear[00:01:05]
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer[00:01:09]
With a little old driver so lively and quick[00:01:14]
I knew in a moment it must be st nick[00:01:18]
More faster than eagles the reindeer came[00:01:23]
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name[00:01:28]
Now dasher now dancer now prancer and vixen[00:01:33]
On comet on cupid on donder and blitzen[00:01:37]
To the top of the porch to the top of the wall[00:01:41]
Now dash away dash away dash away all[00:01:46]
So up to the housetop the reindeer soon flew[00:01:51]
With the sleigh full of toys and saint nicholas too[00:01:55]
And then in a twinkling i heard on the roof[00:02:00]
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof[00:02:04]
As i drew in my hand and was turning around[00:02:09]
Down the chimney st nicholas came with a bound[00:02:13]
He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot[00:02:18]
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot[00:02:22]
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back[00:02:27]
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack[00:02:31]
His eyes how they twinkled his dimples how merry[00:02:36]
His cheeks were like roses his nose like a cherry[00:02:41]
He had a broad face and a little round belly[00:02:46]
That shook like like a bowlful of jelly[00:02:50]
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head[00:02:55]
Soon gave me to know i had nothing to dread[00:02:59]
He spoke not a word but went straight to his work[00:03:04]
And filled all the stockings then turned with a jerk[00:03:09]
And laying his finger aside of his nose[00:03:13]
And giving a nod up the chimney he rose[00:03:18]
He sprang to his sleigh to his team gave a whistle[00:03:23]
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle[00:03:27]
But i heard him exclaim ere he drove out of sight[00:03:32]
Happy christmas to all and to all a good night[00:03:37]
