The Night Before Christmas Song

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse All the stockings were hung by the chimney with care In the hope that Saint Nicholas soon would be there Then what to my wondering eyes should appear A miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer A little old driver so lively and quick I knew in a moment it must be Saint Nick And more rapid than eagles, his reindeer all came As he shouted on Dasher and each reindeer's name And so up to the housetop the reindeer soon flew With the sleigh full of toys and Saint Nicholas, too Down the chimney he came with a leap and a bound He was dressed all in fur and his belly was round He spoke not a word but went straight to his work And filled all the stocking then turned with a jerk And laying his finger aside of his nose Then giving a nod up the chimney he rose But I heard him exclaim where he drove out of sight "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night" But I heard him exclaim where he drove out of sight "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night"
