'twas the night before christmas - the brothers four lyrics

[verse 1]
’twas the night before christmas, and 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

[verse 2]
the children were nestled all snug in their beds
while visions of sugarplums danced in their heads
and ma in her ‘kerchief, and i in my cap
had just settled down for a long winters nap
[verse 3]
when out on the lawn there arosе such a clatter
i sprang from my bed to see what was the mattеr
the moon on the crest of the new*fallen snow
gave a l*stre of mid*day to objects below

[verse 4]
then, 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 (must be st. nick)

[verse 5]
“now, dasher and prancer, now, dash away all
to the top of the porch, to the top of the wall”
and up to the housetop those reindeer they flew
with a sleigh full of toys and st. nicholas too

[verse 6]
a round little face and a round little belly
that shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly
his eyes, how they twinkled, his dimples, how merry
his cheeks were like roses, and his nose like a cherry

[verse 7]
he spoke not a word, but went straight to his work
he filled all the stockings then turned with a jerk
and laying his finger aside of his nose
then giving a nod, up the chimney he rose
[verse 8]
he sprang to his sleigh, to the team, gave a whistle
and away they all flew like the down on a thistle
but i heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight
“merry christmas to all, and to all a goodnight”

[outro]
night before christmas, and all through the house
