'Twas the night before Christmas,
and it's still in the house,
my family is sleeping,
so, I'm as quiet as a mouse.
I look at my watch,
and midnight is near,
I think I'll go out,
for a cold glass of beer.
Down on the corner,
the crowd is so merry,
I wind up having,
about twelve Tom and Jerry.

and just as I'm sleeping
those darn kids
they come in a creeping
And they jump on my head
and they jump on my belly
and I'm quivering all over
like a bowl full of jelly
And they scream, 'Merry Christmas!'
Then my poor wife and me
we stumble downstairs
and she lights up the tree
and my mouth tastes like a pickle
I step on a skate
and fall over a tricycle
Just before Christmas dinner
I relax to a point
then the relatives start swarming
all over the joint
On Christmas
I hug and I kiss my wifes mother
and the rest of the year
we don't speak to each other
After dinner, my aunt,
and my wife's Uncle Louie
get into a argument
they're both awfully screwy
Then all of my wife's family
say Lou is right
and my goofy relations
day join in the fight
Back in the corner
the television is playing
and over all this racket
Walter Cronkite is saying
good will toward men"
Just at that moment
someone slugs Uncle Ben
Then they all run outside
whooping so the neighbors will hear
I'm so glad that this Christmas
comes just once a year
