'Twas The Night Before Christmas 歌詞

'Twas The Night Before Christmas - Perry Como (佩裡·科莫)

It was the night before Christmas

When all through the house

Not a creature was stirring

 

Not even a mouse

 

The stockings all hung

By the chimney with care

 

In hopes that st nicholas

 

Soon would be there

 

The children were nestled

All safe in their beds

 

While visions of sugarplums

 

Danced in their heads

 

And mom in her kerchief

And I in my cap

Had just settled down

 

For a long winter's nap

 

When out on the lawn

There arose 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 on the breast

Of the new fallen snow

Gave the lustre of midday

To object below

 

When what to my wandering eyes

Should appear

 

But a miniature sleigh

And eight tiny reindeer

 

With a little ol' driver

So lively and quick

I knew in a moment

It must be st nick

More rapid than eagles

His courses they came

As he whistled and shouted

And called them by name

And quot now dasher

Now dancer

 

Now prancer

Now vixen

On comet

On cupid

On doner

An' blitzen'

To the top of the porch

To the top of the wall

 

Now dash away dash away

Dash away all

 

As dry leaves

Before the wild hurricane fly

When they meet with an obstacle

Mount to the sky

 

So up to the housetop

The courses they flew

 

With a sleigh full of toys

 

And st nicholas too

 

And then in a twinkling

I heard on the roof

The prancing and pawing

Of each little hoof

 

As I drew in my head

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 drawl little mouth

Was drawn up like a bow

 

And the beard of his chin

Was a white as the snow

 

The stump of his pipe

He held tight in his teeth

 

And the smoke it encircled his head

Like a wreath

 

He had a broad face

And a round little belly

 

That shook when he laughed

Like a bowl full of jelly

 

He was chubby and plump

A right jolly old elf

 

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

 

An' laying a finger

Along side his nose

An' giving a nod

Up the chimney he rose

 

He sprang to his sleigh

To his team gave a whistle

An' away they all flew

Like the down of a thistle

But I heard him exclaim

As he drove out of sight

 

Happy Christmas to all

 

And to all a goodnight
