'TWAS THE NIGHT
BEFORE CHRISTMAS
AND ALL THROUGH
THE HOUSE
NOT A CREATURE
WAS STIRRING
NOT EVEN A MOUSE
THE STOCKINGS
WERE HUNG
BY THE CHIMNEY
WITH CARE
IN HOPES THAT
SAINT NICHOLAS
SOON WOULD BE THERE
WHEN WHAT
TO MY WANDERING EYE
SHOULD APPEAR
BUT A MINIATURE
SLEIGH AND EIGHT
TINY REINDEER
WITH A LITTLE
OLD DRIVER
SO LIVELY AND QUICK
I KNEW IN A MOMENT
IT MUST BE SAINT NICK
AND MORE RAPID
THAN EAGLES
HIS REINDEER
ALL CAME
AND HE WHISTLED
AND SHOUTED
AND CALLED THEM
BY NAME
8 BAR BREAK
AND SO UP
TO THE HOUSE TOP
THE REINDEER
SOON FLEW
WITH THE SLEIGH
FULL OF TOYS
AND SAINT NICHOLAS
TOO
DOWN THE CHIMNEY
HE CAME
WITH A LEAP
AND A BOUND
HE WAS DRESSED
ALL IN FUR
AND HIS BELLY
WAS ROUND
HE SPOKE NOT A WORD
BUT WENT STRAIGHT
TO HIS WORK
AND FILLED
ALL THE STOCKINGS
THEN TURNED
WITH A JERK
AND LAYING
HIS FINGER
ASIDE OF HIS NOSE
THEN GIVING A NOD
UP THE CHIMNEY
HE ROSE
BUT I HEARD HIM
EXCLAIM AS HE DROVE
OUT OF SIGHT
MERRY CHRISTMAS
TO ALL
AND TO ALL
A GOOD NIGHT
AND I HEARD HIM
EXCLAIM AS HE DROVE
OUT OF SIGHT
MERRY CHRISTMAS
TO ALL
AND TO ALL
A GOOD NIGHT
