Don't Wait Till The Night Before Christmas

All year long in the mountains

Lives an old man they say

He wraps up bundles with ribbons

Just to give them away

All year long in the mountains

He looks down to see

Kids that are good and kids that are bad

And treats them accordingly

If you want toys like other little boys

In your neighborhood

Don't wait 'til the night before Christmas

To be good

And dolls with curls are for the little girls

Who do things they should

So don't wait 'til the night before Christmas

To be good

You can't fool Mister Santa Claus

He knows right from wrong

And you can't be right for just one night

You gotta be right right along

You'd love to see another Christmas tree

Where the old one stood

So don't wait 'til the night before Christmas

To be good

Santa Claus has a big book

That helps him to remember

He can tell each kid the things they did

From January to December

Jingle bells never jingle

For the very bad ones

Every Christmas Day the good are gay

And the bad ones are the sad ones

If you want toys like other little boys

In your neighborhood

Don't wait 'til the night before Christmas

To be good

And dolls with curls are for the little girls

Who do things they should

So don't wait 'til the night before Christmas

To be good

You can't fool Mister Santa Claus

He knows right from wrong

And you can't be right for just one night

You gotta be right right along

You'd love to see another Christmas tree

Where the old one stood

So don't wait 'til the night before Christmas

To be good
