'Twas the night before Christmas when all through the castle

My monsters were having a Yuletide hassle

The tree was all trimmed in ghoulish things

Like werewolf fangs and vampire wings


(It was a monster's holiday)

But they were up to no good

(It was a monster's holiday)

Didn't act like good monsters should

(It was a monster's holiday)

They found themselves a new play

(It was a monster's holiday)

They planned to rob Santa's sleigh


They were making a list and checking it twice

Frankenstein wanted a shiny new trike

A new chain for Yarnush

A brace for Igor's back

A speed shaver for Wolfman

A new cape for Drac


(It was a monster's holiday)

They were up to no good

(It was a monster's holiday)

Didn't act like good monster's should

(It was a monster's holiday)

They found themselves a new play

(It was a monster's holiday)

They planned to rob Santa's sleigh


The Mummy was to signal from the castle roof

At the very first sound of a reindeer hoof

As Santa slid down the chimney wall

The zombies were to make off with sleigh and all


From beyond the moat there arose such a clatter

I jumped to the window to see what was the matter

Like a bolt of lightning it happened so quick

And there in our midst stood old Saint Nick


He began to dig down deep in his sack

And came up with the traction for Igor's back

Drac got his cape

Franky's trike made him behave

Even Wolfman was happy now he can shave


(It was a monster's holiday)

And all ended well

(It was a monster's holiday)

And Santa was really swell

(It was a monster's holiday)

No need to rob Santa's sleigh

(It was a monster's holiday)

Maybe next year he'll come back


So the children everywhere were spared the grief

Of losing their presents to a monster sleigh thief

Now the monsters love Santa and say they'll behave

And never again rob sleighs or graves


[Repeat "it was a monster's holiday" in background with the following:]

Igor, what do you think of Santa now?

"Arrrrrr...Santa good!"

And Santa said as he drove out of sight


[Dracula accent:]

"Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho

Merry Christmas to all

And to all a good night - blaaaa!"


Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way

Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh

Dashing through the snow

Where is that reindeer with the red nose, blaaaa

On Donner, on Blitzen, on Dancer ...
