IT WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
AND THE KIDS WERE IN THEIR BEDS
WHILE DAD'S IN HIS ROBE
AND ME IN MY NIGHTY
JUST WAITING FOR OLD ST. NICK

DAD SIPPING HIS 80 PROOF EGGNOG
AND ME SIPPING MY WINE
ALL CUDDLED ON THE COUCH
WATCHING MR. GRINCH
THE OLD GROUCH

THE MOVIE NOW OVER
AND WE CLIMBED INTO BED
DAD TOOK OFF HIS ROBE
AND ME MY NIGHTY,HO-HO-HO

IN THE WEE,WEE HOURS
I WAS STARTLED BY A NOISE
I JUMPED OUT OF BED
AND PUT MY HANDS TO MY HEAD

I WENT TO THE WINDOW
THEN LOOKED IN THE BED
I KNEW RIGHT THEN...
IT WAS DAD ,STANDING ON THE SHED

I OPENED THE WINDOW
(OH,HOW THE SNOW FLAKES WERE SO BIG)
THEN REMEMBERED DAD
STILL STANDING ON THE SHED

AS HE STANDS BY HIS SLED
WITH ONLY ONE REINDEER
HE'S SCREAMING ...HO-HO-HO
AND HE'S RINGING HIS BELLS

THE KIDS ALL UP,AND OUT OF THEIR BEDS
ALL JUMPED TO THE WINDOW
AS OLD ST. NICK YELLS...HO-HO-HO
AND WAVES AND SAID...
"MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND HAVE A GOOD NIGHT"!

P.S. SANTA JUMPED OFF THE SHED
HE WISHED HE HAD DRANK PEPSI INSTEAD
