《’Twas the Night Before Christmas》歌词

[00:00:00] 'Twas the Night Before Christmas - Sing N Play

[00:00:04] 'Twas the night before Christmas and 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 the hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there

[00:00:25] The children were nestled all snug in their beds

[00:00:30] While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads

[00:00:36] Mama in her kerchief and I in my cap

[00:00:41] Had just settled down for a long Winter's nap

[00:00:46] When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter

[00:00:51] I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter

[00:01:01] Away to the window I flew like a flash

[00:01:06] Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash

[00:01:12] The Moon on the breast of the new fallen snow

[00:01:17] Gave a luster of mid day to objects below

[00:01:22] When what to my wondering eyes should appear

[00:01:27] But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer

[00:01:32] With a little old driver so lively and quick

[00:01:37] I knew in a moment it must be St Nick

[00:01:42] More rapid than eagles his coursers they came

[00:01:48] And he whistled and shouted and called them by name

[00:01:58] Now Dasher now Dancer now Prancer and Vixen

[00:02:03] On Comet on Cupid on Donner and Blitzen

[00:02:08] To the top of the porch to the top of the wall

[00:02:14] Now dash away dash away dash away all

[00:02:19] As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly

[00:02:24] When they meet with an obstacle mount to the sky

[00:02:29] So up to the housetop the coursers they flew

[00:02:34] With a sleigh full of toys and St Nicholas too

[00:02:40] And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof

[00:02:45] The prancing and pawing of each little hoof

[00:02:55] As I drew in my head and was turning around

[00:03:00] Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound

[00:03:05] He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot

[00:03:10] And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot

[00:03:16] A bundle of toys he had flung on his back

[00:03:21] And he looked like a peddler just op'ning his pack

[00:03:26] His eyes how they twinkled his dimples how merry

[00:03:31] His cheeks for a like roses his nose like a cherry

[00:03:36] His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow

[00:03:41] And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow

[00:03:52] The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth

[00:03:57] And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath

[00:04:02] He had a broad face and a little round belly

[00:04:07] That shook when he laughed

[00:04:10] Like a bowl full of jelly

[00:04:12] He was chubby and plump a right jolly old elf

[00:04:17] And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself

[00:04:23] A wink of his eye and a twist of his head

[00:04:28] Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread

[00:04:33] He spoke not a word but went straight to his work

[00:04:38] And filled all the stockings than turned with a jerk

[00:04:48] And laying his finger I side of his nose

[00:04:54] And giving a nod up the chimney he rose

[00:04:59] He sprang to his sleigh to his team gave a whistle

[00:05:04] And away they all flew like the down of a thistle

[00:05:09] But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight

[00:05:14] Merry Christmas to all and to all are goodnight

[00:05:20] Merry Christmas to all and to all are goodnight
