Twas the night before the night before Christmas, and all through the house
All the creatures are stirring, even that mouse.
The stockings are not yet hung but Mama don't care,
All the creatures are stirring, even that mouse.
The stockings are not yet hung but Mama don't care,
She hopes that quiet soon will be here.
The children are all hopped up and won't go to bed,
While visions of drums and Zhu Zhu pets dance in their heads.
Mama is in sweats starting a nightcap,
To settle her brain to wrap all the crap.

Finally they were all asleep and Mama heard a clatter,
Mama sprang up to see what was the matter.
Away to the window she flew like a flash,
Spilled all the Tuaca she had in her glass.

Away to the window she flew like a flash,
Spilled all the Tuaca she had in her glass.
When, what to her tipsy eyes should appear,
But a huge blow up sleigh, and eight tiny plastic reindeer.
But a huge blow up sleigh, and eight tiny plastic reindeer.
With a fat old guy, so cheery and quick,
She knew in a moment it must be a trick.
She shook her head to clear the buzzy haze,
When loudly he whistled, and shouted, and called out some names!

When loudly he whistled, and shouted, and called out some names!
"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner 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, she heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
Wondering if her insurance was current she turned around,
And sure enough down the chimney he came with a bound.

Wondering if her insurance was current she turned around,
And sure enough down the chimney he came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all dirty with ashes and soot.
A bundle of something he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a home invader, just carrying a pack.

And he looked like a home invader, just carrying a pack.
He was chubby and plump, a fat tall jolly elf,
And Mama laughed when she saw him, in spite of herself.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
He showed his ID, she had nothing to dread.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
While Mama poured another cocktail with a smirk.
He wrapped all the presents and tied all the bows,
And giving a fist bump to Mama, up the chimney he rose!
He blew back up his sleigh, and gave a shout,
While Mama tried to figure out what this was all about.
She heard him exclaim, as he flew out of sight,
"Merry Christmas to all, and to Mama a good-night!"
