The Night Before Christmas

Okay kiddies, it's Christmas eve
Time for beddy-bye.
Look uh, one story and you hit the sack huh?

Alright Uncle Stan
How about The Night Before Christmas

Yeah, how bout that!

I mean the poem
Say it please, please

Okay okay, close your eyes huh,
Now get the picture

(Insturmental break)

It was a dark night see, and there was like snow
And there was this house out there see
And mom and I were settling down for a long winter's nap
She in her black denim kerchief
And I in my motorcycle cap, see
And there arose these hooves on our rooves
Hoofs on a roof
I tell ya it was more like a clatter up there,
You get the picture?

But Uncle Stan do it from the start like,
"Twas the night before-"

Okay okay, close your eyes huh,
Twas the night before uhh
The night before

Christmas

Oh yeah Christmas
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse right?

Right!

Okay,
Now the children were snestled all snug in their beds
Well they weren't necessarily snestled ya know
They were uhh
I tell ya they had visions of... ya know sweet plums

Sugarplums!

Look a
Just close your eyes huh,

Okay, Uncle Stan!
But when does the Santa Claus part come?

I'm coming to it, I'm coming to it
Uh get the picture huh!
Remember when I told you about that roove
Roof what there rose such a clatter up there
Remember?

Yes!

Well that clatter comes from this little bitty sleigh
That was fastened to these eight tiny deer
That had the deer feets ya know

Uh huh!

Well this sleigh was droved by a guy
That had whiskers kinda like Mitch Miller
Only white.
You dig?

I dig!

His eyes-how they twinkled
His dimples how merry
His cheeks uhh
Well what he had was this here belly
He was pretty funny with that
Ho Ho Ho and all
I had to laugh like in spite of myself ya know

But Uncle Stan

Close your eyes huh

But the reindeer,
You forgot where Santa
Whistled and shouted and called them by name.

Oh okay, I'm coming to that
Get the picture huh!

(Instrumental break)

Close your eyes huh,
Remember that jolly fella I told you about
That was steering the deer?

Yes

Well came sliding through this here fireplace
Err uh. spread a bunch of toys
And took off ya know
And uh

This silly moon there
He looked over his shoulder and uh
He hollered a darling at Liv
This escapes me for the moment

(Snoring heard)

Uncle Stan's asleep
But what Saint Nick really said was
"Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!"

Okay okay,
