《’Twas the Night Before Christmas》歌词

[00:00:00] 'Twas the Night Before Christmas (圣诞前夜) - Perry Como

[00:00:10] 'Twas the night before christmas

[00:00:12] When all through the house

[00:00:13] Not a creature was stirring

[00:00:15] Not even a mouse

[00:00:17] The stockings all hung

[00:00:18] By the chimney with care

[00:00:20] In hopes that st nicholas

[00:00:22] Soon would be there

[00:00:24] The children were nestled

[00:00:25] All safe in their beds

[00:00:27] While visions of sugarplums

[00:00:29] Danced in their heads

[00:00:32] And mom in her kerchief

[00:00:34] And I in my cap

[00:00:35] Had just settled down

[00:00:37] For a long winters nap

[00:00:40] When out on the lawn

[00:00:41] There arose such a clatter

[00:00:42] I sprang from my bed

[00:00:43] To see what was the matter

[00:00:44] Away to the window

[00:00:45] I flew like a flash

[00:00:47] Tore open the shutters

[00:00:48] And threw up the sash

[00:00:50] The moon on the breast

[00:00:51] Of the new fallen snow

[00:00:52] Gave the lustre of midday

[00:00:54] To object below

[00:00:56] When what to my wandering eyes

[00:00:58] Should appear

[00:00:59] But a miniature sleigh

[00:01:01] And eight tiny reindeer

[00:01:05] With a little ol driver

[00:01:06] So lively and quick

[00:01:08] I knew in a moment

[00:01:09] It must be st nick

[00:01:11] More rapid than eagles

[00:01:12] His courses they came

[00:01:13] As he whistled and shouted

[00:01:15] And called them by name

[00:01:16] Now dasher

[00:01:17] Now dancer

[00:01:18] Now prancer

[00:01:19] Now vixen

[00:01:19] On comet

[00:01:20] On cupid

[00:01:20] On doner

[00:01:21] An blitzen

[00:01:22] To the top of the porch

[00:01:24] To the top of the wall

[00:01:25] Now dash-away dash-away

[00:01:27] Dash-away all

[00:01:30] As dry leaves

[00:01:31] Before the wild hurricane fly

[00:01:33] When they meet with an obstacle

[00:01:35] Mount to the sky

[00:01:36] So up to the housetop

[00:01:37] The courses they flew

[00:01:39] With a sleigh full of toys

[00:01:42] And st nicholas too

[00:01:45] And then in a twinkling

[00:01:47] I heard on the roof

[00:01:48] The prancing and pawing

[00:01:50] Of each little hoof

[00:01:51] As I drew in my head

[00:01:53] And was turning around

[00:01:54] Down the chimney st nicholas

[00:01:56] Came with a bound

[00:02:00] He was dressed all in fur

[00:02:02] From his head to his foot

[00:02:04] And his clothes were all tarnished

[00:02:05] With ashes and soot

[00:02:07] A bundle of toys

[00:02:08] He had flung on his back

[00:02:10] And he looked like a peddler

[00:02:11] Just opening his pack

[00:02:13] His eyes how they twinkled

[00:02:15] His dimples how merry

[00:02:17] His cheeks were like roses

[00:02:19] His nose like a cherry

[00:02:21] His drawl little mouth

[00:02:23] Was drawn up like a bow

[00:02:25] And the beard of his chin

[00:02:26] Was a white as the snow

[00:02:29] The stump of his pipe

[00:02:30] He held tight in his teeth

[00:02:31] And the smoke it encircled his head

[00:02:34] Like a wreath

[00:02:35] He had a broad face

[00:02:37] And a round little belly

[00:02:39] That shook when he laughed

[00:02:40] Like a bowl full of jelly

[00:02:43] He was chubby and plump

[00:02:44] A right jolly old elf

[00:02:47] I laughed when I saw him

[00:02:48] In spite of myself

[00:02:50] A wink of his eye

[00:02:51] And a twist of his head

[00:02:53] Soon gave me to know

[00:02:55] I had nothing to dread

[00:02:59] He spoke not a word

[00:03:00] But went straight to his work

[00:03:01] And filled all the stockings

[00:03:03] Then turned with a jerk

[00:03:05] An laying a finger

[00:03:06] Along side his nose

[00:03:07] An giving a nod

[00:03:08] Up the chimney he rose

[00:03:13] He sprang to his sleigh

[00:03:15] To his team gave a whistle

[00:03:16] An away they all flew

[00:03:17] Like the down of a thistle

[00:03:19] But I heard him exclaim

[00:03:20] As he drove out of sight

[00:03:23] Happy christmas to all

[00:03:25] And to all a goodnight
