"Twas The Night (Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy)" lyrics

'Twas the night before Christmas
And in the house no-one stirred
Not a mouse, all were fast asleep
Toys were neatly lined up on the shelves
Carousels, twinkling bells, soldiers, dolls and sheep

All at once a rumpus starts to grow
In the glow of the moon on the crunchy snow
There was prancing, hooves advancing
So I ran downstairs to peek

Down the chimney Santa jumped
And soon as he hits the ground, he let out a cheerful sound
His eyes were sparkling as he bent on his knees
To leave a stack of toys under the Christmas tree

Then in a flash he jumped back
On his sleigh and flew away in the night to another home
As he grew smaller, I heard him holler
Merry Christmas everyone!

It was the night before, yes
And everyone was fast asleep
The children's toys were neatly lined up
So neatly carousels, twinkling bells
Soldiers, toys, and sheep

All at once a rumpus starts to grow
In the glow of the moon on the crunchy snow
There was prancing, hooves advancing
So I ran downstairs to peek

Down the chimney Santa jumped
And soon as he hits the ground, he let out a cheerful sound
His eyes were sparkling as he bent on his knees
To leave a stack of toys under the Christmas tree

Then in a flash he jumped back
On his sleigh and flew away in the night to another home
As he grew smaller, I heard him holler
Merry Christmas everyone!
As he grew smaller, I heard him holler
Merry Christmas everyone!
As he grew smaller, I heard him holler
Merry Christmas everyone!
