´twas the Night Before Christmas - Perry Como[00:00:00]
'Twas the night[00:00:11]
Before Christmas[00:00:11]
When all through the house[00:00:12]
Not a creature was stirring[00:00:14]
Not even a mouse[00:00:16]
The stockings all hung[00:00:18]
By the chimney with care[00:00:19]
In hopes[00:00:21]
That St Nicholas[00:00:21]
Soon would be there[00:00:23]
The children were nestled[00:00:25]
All safe in their beds[00:00:26]
While visions of sugarplums[00:00:28]
Danced in their heads[00:00:30]
And mom in her kerchief[00:00:33]
And I in my cap [00:00:35]
Had just settled down[00:00:36]
For a long winters nap[00:00:38]
When out on the lawn[00:00:41]
There arose such a clatter[00:00:42]
I sprang from my bed[00:00:43]
To see what was the matter[00:00:44]
Away to the window[00:00:45]
I flew like a flash[00:00:46]
Tore open the shutters[00:00:48]
And threw up the sash[00:00:49]
The moon on the breast[00:00:51]
Of the new fallen snow[00:00:52]
Gave the lustre[00:00:53]
Of midday[00:00:54]
To object below[00:00:55]
When what[00:00:57]
To my wandering eyes[00:00:58]
Should appear[00:00:58]
But a miniature sleigh[00:01:00]
And eight tiny reindeer[00:01:02]
With a little ol driver[00:01:06]
So lively and quick[00:01:08]
I knew in a moment[00:01:09]
It must be St nick[00:01:10]
More rapid than eagles[00:01:12]
His courses they came[00:01:13]
As he whistled[00:01:15]
And shouted[00:01:15]
And called[00:01:16]
Them by name[00:01:16]
Now dasher[00:01:18]
Now dancer[00:01:18]
Now prancer[00:01:19]
Now vixen[00:01:20]
On comet[00:01:20]
On cupid[00:01:21]
On donder[00:01:22]
And blitzen[00:01:22]
To the top[00:01:23]
Of the porch[00:01:24]
To the top[00:01:25]
Of the wall[00:01:25]
Now dash-away[00:01:26]
Dash-away[00:01:27]
Dash-away all[00:01:28]
As dry leaves[00:01:31]
Before the wild[00:01:32]
Hurricane fly[00:01:33]
When they meet[00:01:34]
With an obstacle[00:01:35]
Mount to the sky[00:01:36]
So up[00:01:38]
To the housetop[00:01:38]
The courses[00:01:39]
They flew[00:01:39]
With a sleigh[00:01:40]
Full of toys[00:01:41]
And St Nicholas too[00:01:43]
And then[00:01:47]
In a twinkling[00:01:47]
I heard on the roof[00:01:48]
The prancing[00:01:50]
And pawing[00:01:50]
Of each little hoof[00:01:51]
As I drew in my head[00:01:53]
And was turning around[00:01:54]
Down the chimney[00:01:55]
St Nicholas[00:01:56]
Came with a bound[00:01:57]
He was dressed[00:02:01]
All in fur[00:02:02]
From his head[00:02:03]
To his foot[00:02:03]
And his clothes[00:02:05]
Were all tarnished[00:02:06]
With ashes and soot[00:02:07]
A bundle of toys[00:02:08]
He had flung[00:02:09]
On his back[00:02:10]
And he looked[00:02:11]
Like a peddler[00:02:11]
Just opening[00:02:12]
His pack[00:02:13]
His eyes[00:02:14]
How they twinkle[00:02:15]
His dimples how merry[00:02:16]
His cheeks[00:02:18]
Were like roses[00:02:19]
His nose like a cherry[00:02:21]
His drawl little mouth[00:02:23]
Was drawn up like a bow[00:02:24]
And the beard of his chin[00:02:26]
Was a white as the snow[00:02:28]
The stump of his pipe[00:02:30]
He held tight[00:02:31]
In his teeth[00:02:32]
And the smoke it[00:02:33]
Encircled his head[00:02:34]
Like a wreath[00:02:35]
He had a broad face[00:02:37]
And a round little belly[00:02:38]
That shook when he laughed[00:02:40]
Like a bowl full of jelly[00:02:42]
He was chubby and plump[00:02:44]
A right jolly old elf[00:02:46]
I laughed when I saw him[00:02:48]
In spite of myself[00:02:49]
A wink of his eye[00:02:52]
And a twist of his head[00:02:53]
Soon gave me to know[00:02:55]
I had nothing to dread[00:02:57]
He spoke not a word[00:03:00]
But went straight[00:03:01]
To his work[00:03:02]
And filled[00:03:03]
All the stockings[00:03:03]
Then turned[00:03:04]
With a jerk[00:03:05]
An laying a finger[00:03:06]
Along side his nose[00:03:07]
And giving a nod[00:03:09]
Up the chimney[00:03:10]
He rose[00:03:11]
He sprang[00:03:15]
To his sleigh[00:03:15]
To his team[00:03:16]
Gave a whistle[00:03:17]
And away[00:03:18]
They all flew[00:03:18]
Like the down[00:03:19]
Of a thistle[00:03:20]
But I heard him exclaim[00:03:21]
As he drove out of sight[00:03:22]
Happy christmas to all[00:03:25]
And to all a goodnight[00:03:27]
Hmmm[00:03:30]
