《twas the Night Before Christmas》歌词

[00:00:00] ´twas the Night Before Christmas - Perry Como

[00:00:11] 'Twas the night

[00:00:11] Before Christmas

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

[00:00:14] Not a creature was stirring

[00:00:16] Not even a mouse

[00:00:18] The stockings all hung

[00:00:19] By the chimney with care

[00:00:21] In hopes

[00:00:21] That St Nicholas

[00:00:23] Soon would be there

[00:00:25] The children were nestled

[00:00:26] All safe in their beds

[00:00:28] While visions of sugarplums

[00:00:30] Danced in their heads

[00:00:33] And mom in her kerchief

[00:00:35] And I in my cap

[00:00:36] Had just settled down

[00:00:38] For a long winters nap

[00:00:41] When out on the lawn

[00:00:42] There arose such a clatter

[00:00:43] I sprang from my bed

[00:00:44] To see what was the matter

[00:00:45] Away to the window

[00:00:46] I flew like a flash

[00:00:48] Tore open the shutters

[00:00:49] And threw up the sash

[00:00:51] The moon on the breast

[00:00:52] Of the new fallen snow

[00:00:53] Gave the lustre

[00:00:54] Of midday

[00:00:55] To object below

[00:00:57] When what

[00:00:58] To my wandering eyes

[00:00:58] Should appear

[00:01:00] But a miniature sleigh

[00:01:02] And eight tiny reindeer

[00:01:06] With a little ol driver

[00:01:08] So lively and quick

[00:01:09] I knew in a moment

[00:01:10] It must be St nick

[00:01:12] More rapid than eagles

[00:01:13] His courses they came

[00:01:15] As he whistled

[00:01:15] And shouted

[00:01:16] And called

[00:01:16] Them by name

[00:01:18] Now dasher

[00:01:18] Now dancer

[00:01:19] Now prancer

[00:01:20] Now vixen

[00:01:20] On comet

[00:01:21] On cupid

[00:01:22] On donder

[00:01:22] And blitzen

[00:01:23] To the top

[00:01:24] Of the porch

[00:01:25] To the top

[00:01:25] Of the wall

[00:01:26] Now dash-away

[00:01:27] Dash-away

[00:01:28] Dash-away all

[00:01:31] As dry leaves

[00:01:32] Before the wild

[00:01:33] Hurricane fly

[00:01:34] When they meet

[00:01:35] With an obstacle

[00:01:36] Mount to the sky

[00:01:38] So up

[00:01:38] To the housetop

[00:01:39] The courses

[00:01:39] They flew

[00:01:40] With a sleigh

[00:01:41] Full of toys

[00:01:43] And St Nicholas too

[00:01:47] And then

[00:01:47] In a twinkling

[00:01:48] I heard on the roof

[00:01:50] The prancing

[00:01:50] And pawing

[00:01:51] Of each little hoof

[00:01:53] As I drew in my head

[00:01:54] And was turning around

[00:01:55] Down the chimney

[00:01:56] St Nicholas

[00:01:57] Came with a bound

[00:02:01] He was dressed

[00:02:02] All in fur

[00:02:03] From his head

[00:02:03] To his foot

[00:02:05] And his clothes

[00:02:06] Were all tarnished

[00:02:07] With ashes and soot

[00:02:08] A bundle of toys

[00:02:09] He had flung

[00:02:10] On his back

[00:02:11] And he looked

[00:02:11] Like a peddler

[00:02:12] Just opening

[00:02:13] His pack

[00:02:14] His eyes

[00:02:15] How they twinkle

[00:02:16] His dimples how merry

[00:02:18] His cheeks

[00:02:19] Were like roses

[00:02:21] His nose like a cherry

[00:02:23] His drawl little mouth

[00:02:24] Was drawn up like a bow

[00:02:26] And the beard of his chin

[00:02:28] Was a white as the snow

[00:02:30] The stump of his pipe

[00:02:31] He held tight

[00:02:32] In his teeth

[00:02:33] And the smoke it

[00:02:34] Encircled his head

[00:02:35] Like a wreath

[00:02:37] He had a broad face

[00:02:38] And a round little belly

[00:02:40] That shook when he laughed

[00:02:42] Like a bowl full of jelly

[00:02:44] He was chubby and plump

[00:02:46] A right jolly old elf

[00:02:48] I laughed when I saw him

[00:02:49] In spite of myself

[00:02:52] A wink of his eye

[00:02:53] And a twist of his head

[00:02:55] Soon gave me to know

[00:02:57] I had nothing to dread

[00:03:00] He spoke not a word

[00:03:01] But went straight

[00:03:02] To his work

[00:03:03] And filled

[00:03:03] All the stockings

[00:03:04] Then turned

[00:03:05] With a jerk

[00:03:06] An laying a finger

[00:03:07] Along side his nose

[00:03:09] And giving a nod

[00:03:10] Up the chimney

[00:03:11] He rose

[00:03:15] He sprang

[00:03:15] To his sleigh

[00:03:16] To his team

[00:03:17] Gave a whistle

[00:03:18] And away

[00:03:18] They all flew

[00:03:19] Like the down

[00:03:20] Of a thistle

[00:03:21] But I heard him exclaim

[00:03:22] As he drove out of sight

[00:03:25] Happy christmas to all

[00:03:27] And to all a goodnight

[00:03:30] Hmmm
