Erin Harpe and the Delta Swingers - The Night Before Christmas

Was the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirrin', not even a mouse
My stockings were hung, by the chimney with care
I was hopin’ St. Nicholas soon would be here

Was the night before Christmas
It was the night before Christmas
The night before Christmas, I saw Santa Claus

Out on the lawn, there arose such a clatter
I sprang to my feet, to see what was the matter
Away to the window, I flew like a flash
Tore open the shutters, and threw up the sash

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 St. Nick

The night before Christmas
It was the night before Christmas
The night before Christmas, I saw Santa Claus

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot
His clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot
A bundle of toys was flung on his back
And he looked like a peddler, openin' his sack

His eyes‍ how they twinkled, his dimples so merry
His cheeks were like roses, and nose like a cherry
I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight‍
Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night

Was the night before Christmas
It was the night before Christmas
Was the night before Christmas
Night before Christmas
Was the night before Christmas
Was the night before Christmas, I saw Santa Claus
