Ribbons and paper cover the floor, it's been a great Christmas with presents

galore

Everyone's happy and I'm happy, too

Oh, what a night, oh, what a night, night before Christmas I had with you



Frost on the window, snow on the ground, holiday spirit, holiday sounds

Everyone's thankful and I'm thankful, too

Oh, what a night, oh, what a night, night before Christmas I had with you



It all started underneath that mistletoe when we were waiting up just to help

ole Santa Claus

We were making merry in ways we'd never thought of when we heard those sleigh

bells and ole Santa almost caught us



We didn't take no pictures, but I still remember one very special

twenty-fourth day of December

Oh, what a night, oh, what a night, night before Christmas I had with you



It all started underneath that mistletoe while we were waiting up to help ole

Santa Clause

We were making merry in ways we'd never thought of when we heard those sleigh

bells and ole Santa almost caught us



If we don't do this nect year, honey, I'm sure gonna miss it

Why don't we make it a new Yuletide tradition

Oh, what a night, oh, what a night, night before Christmas I had with you

Oh, what a night, oh, what a night, night before Christmas I had with you
