[ti:'Twas the Night Before Christmas] [ar:Fisher-Price] [al:Christmas Sing-Along] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]'Twas the Night Before Christmas - Sing N Play/Clement Clarke Moore [00:04.70]'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house [00:10.08]Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse [00:15.31]The stockings were hung by the chimney with care [00:20.31]In the hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there [00:25.65]The children were nestled all snug in their beds [00:30.92]While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads [00:36.04]Mama in her kerchief and I in my cap [00:41.14]Had just settled down for a long Winter's nap [00:46.39]When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter [00:51.72]I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter [01:01.92]Away to the window I flew like a flash [01:06.97]Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash [01:12.22]The Moon on the breast of the new fallen snow [01:17.23]Gave a luster of mid day to objects below [01:22.35]When what to my wondering eyes should appear [01:27.53]But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer [01:32.81]With a little old driver so lively and quick [01:37.98]I knew in a moment it must be St Nick [01:42.83]More rapid than eagles his coursers they came [01:48.09]And he whistled and shouted and called them by name [01:58.69]Now Dasher now Dancer now Prancer and Vixen [02:03.72]On Comet on Cupid on Donner and Blitzen [02:08.89]To the top of the porch to the top of the wall [02:14.01]Now dash away dash away dash away all [02:19.11]As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly [02:24.30]When they meet with an obstacle mount to the sky [02:29.49]So up to the housetop the coursers they flew [02:34.73]With a sleigh full of toys and St Nicholas too [02:40.03]And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof [02:45.02]The prancing and pawing of each little hoof [02:55.33]As I drew in my head and was turning around [03:00.48]Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound [03:05.55]He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot [03:10.65]And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot [03:16.19]A bundle of toys he had flung on his back [03:21.18]And he looked like a peddler just op'ning his pack [03:26.41]His eyes how they twinkled his dimples how merry [03:31.68]His cheeks for a like roses his nose like a cherry [03:36.87]His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow [03:41.80]And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow [03:52.14]The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth [03:57.23]And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath [04:02.60]He had a broad face and a little round belly [04:07.76]That shook when he laughed [04:10.04]Like a bowl full of jelly [04:12.87]He was chubby and plump a right jolly old elf [04:17.93]And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself [04:23.02]A wink of his eye and a twist of his head [04:28.30]Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread [04:33.60]He spoke not a word but went straight to his work [04:38.80]And filled all the stockings than turned with a jerk [04:48.92]And laying his finger I side of his nose [04:54.23]And giving a nod up the chimney he rose [04:59.38]He sprang to his sleigh to his team gave a whistle [05:04.35]And away they all flew like the down of a thistle [05:09.67]But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight [05:14.73]Merry Christmas to all and to all are goodnight [05:20.10]Merry Christmas to all and to all are goodnight
