[00:00.00]时代音乐网 www.78497.com  [00:10.34]Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house [00:14.52]Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse [00:18.09]The stockings were hung by the chimney with care [00:21.89]In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there [00:26.01]The children were nestled all snug through their beds [00:29.04]While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads [00:32.68]And mamma in her kerchief and I in my cap [00:36.41]Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap [00:40.97]When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter [00:44.44]I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter [00:47.78]Away to the window I flew like a flash [00:50.88]Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash [00:55.34]The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow [00:58.77]Gave the lustre of mid day to objects below [01:02.82]When what to my wondering eyes should appear [01:06.45]But a miniature sleigh and eight tinny reindeer [01:11.36]With a little old driver so lively and quick [01:14.81]I knew in a moment it must be St Nick [01:18.42]More rapid than eagles his coursers they came [01:21.55]And he whistled and shouted and called them by name [01:26.22]Now Dasher now Dancer now Prancer and Vixen [01:30.35]On Comet On Cupid on on Donner and Blitzen [01:34.46]To the top of the porch to the top of the wall [01:37.78]Now dash away dash away dash away all [01:44.49]As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly [01:48.57]When they meet with an obstacle mount to the sky [01:51.99]So up to the house top the coursers they flew [01:55.39]With the sleigh full of toys and St Nicholas too [01:59.91]And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof [02:03.22]The prancing and pawing of each little hoof [02:06.73]As I drew in my head and was turning around [02:11.10]Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound [02:15.41]He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot [02:19.28]And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot [02:23.20]A bundle of toys he had flung on his back [02:26.34]And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack [02:30.22]His eyes how they twinkled his dimples how merry [02:34.21]His cheeks were like roses his nose like a cherry [02:39.14]His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow [02:42.84]And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow [02:47.11]The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth [02:50.24]And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath [02:54.06]He had a broad face and a little round belly [02:57.62]That shook when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly [03:01.79]He was chubby and plump a right jolly old elf [03:05.30]And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself [03:09.24]A wink of his eye and a twist of his head [03:12.51]Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread [03:16.13]He spoke not a word but went straight to his work [03:19.38]And filled all the stockings then turned with a jerk [03:23.52]And laying his finger aside of his nose [03:26.57]And giving a nod up the chimney he rose [03:30.89]He sprang to his sleigh to his team gave a whistle [03:35.04]And away they all flew like the down of a thistle [03:39.48]But I heard him exclaim ere he drove out of sight [03:43.68]Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night
