Lyrics

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
All the stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In the hope that Saint Nicholas soon would be there
Then, what to my wondering eyes should appear?
A miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer
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
As he shouted, “On Dasher" and each reindeer’s name
And so up to the housetop, the reindeer soon flew
With a 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 layin' his finger aside of his nose
Then givin' a nod, up the chimney, he rose
But I heard him exclaim ere he drove out of sight
“Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!"
But I heard him exclaim ere he drove out of sight
“Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!"
