Ribbons and paper cover the floor

It's been a good Christmas, presents galore

Everyone's happy, I'm happy, too

Cause 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, I'm thankful, too

Cause 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 ol' Santa Claus

We were making merry

In ways we'd never thought of

Then we heard those sleigh bells

Ol' Santa almost caught us



No we didn't take pictures

But I'll always remember

One very special twenty-fourth day of December

Cause 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 ol' Santa Claus

We were making merry

In ways we'd never thought of

Then we heard those sleigh bells

Ol' Santa almost caught us



If we don't do it next year

Honey, I'm sure gonna miss it

Why don't we make it a new Yuletide tradition

Cause oh, what a night

Oh, what a night

Night before Christmas I had with you

Cause oh, what a night

Oh, what a night

Night before Christmas I had with you
