The Chipmunks - The Night Before Christmas lyrics
[The Chipmunks - The Night Before Christmas lyrics]
Hey, Dave, 'twas the night before Christmas
We'll go hi boys, here I go
'Twas the night before Christmas when
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 St nicholas soon would be there
One, two, three, four, no, Dave
Don't we wanna hear some more
The children were nestled all
Snug in their beds
While visions of sugar plums
Danced in their heads
And mama in her 'kerchief and I in my cap
Had settled our heads for a long winter's nap
When out on the lawn
There a rose such a clatter
I sprang from my bed to
See what was the matter
Away to the window I flew like a flash
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash
The moon outside was shining on the snow
When the look will right on the ground below
When, what to my wondering eyes 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 St nick
More faster than eagles the reindeer came
And he whistled and shouted and
Called them by name
Now, Dasher, now Dancer
Now Prancer and Vixen
On Comet, on Cupid, on Donder and Blitzen
To the top of the porch
To the top of the wall
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all
And then in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof
As I drew in my hand and was turning around
Down the chimney St nicholas
Came with a bound
He was dressed all in fur from
His head to his foot
And his clothes were all tarnished
With ashes and soot
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back
And he looked like a peddler
Just opening his pack
His eyes, how they twinkled his dimples
How merry his cheeks were like roses
His nose like a cherry
His cute little mouth was just like a bow
And the beard of his chin was
As white as the snow
He had a broad face and a little round belly
That shook like a bowlful of jelly
He was chubby and plump
A right jolly old elf
And I laughed when I saw
Him in spite of myself
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread
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
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose
He sprang to his sleigh
To his team gave a whistle
And away they all flew like
The down of a thistle
But I heard him exclaim
Ere he drove out of sight
Merry Christmas to all and goodnight
We'll go hi boys, here I go
'Twas the night before Christmas when
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 St nicholas soon would be there
One, two, three, four, no, Dave
Don't we wanna hear some more
The children were nestled all
Snug in their beds
While visions of sugar plums
Danced in their heads
And mama in her 'kerchief and I in my cap
Had settled our heads for a long winter's nap
When out on the lawn
There a rose such a clatter
I sprang from my bed to
