Twas Lyrics by Proverb Newsome

Magi

2023

Intro
So I am going to read
A holiday classic
It’s a timeless Christmas tradition
(Scratching)
Verse
Twas the night before Christmas
And all though the house
Nobody was awake
Not even my dog Klause
The stockings were all hung
By the chimney with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas
Soon would be there
And the children
Man they were all snug in their beds
While visions of the latest toys
Danced in their heads
Wifey in my t-shirt
And me in my skull cap
Had just settled our brains
For a long winter's nap
Whеn out on the lawn
I heard a boom-batter
I jumpеd up out the sack
To see what was the matter
Away to the window
I flew like a flash
Tore open up the shutters
And threw open the sash
The moon glistening on
The new fallen snow
Had the shine of mid-day
And set the hood all aglow
When
To my big brown eyes
What should appear
But a pimped out sleigh
And eight ready rein-deer
With a
Old man driving
Energetic and quick
I knew right then
It's gotta be St. Nick
More rapid than the eagles
His reindeer they came
He whistled
And shouted
He called them by name
Now Dasher
Now Dancer
Now Prancer
And Vixen
On Comet
On Cupid
On Donner
On Blixen
To the top of the porch
Top of the wall
Now dash away
Dash away
Dash away all
As dry leaves
Before the wild hurricane fly
As they meet with an obstacle
Mount to the sky
So up to the house-top
The reindeer they flew
With a sleigh full of toys
And St. Nicholas too
And then in a twinkling
I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing
Of each little hoof
As I came back in the window
Turning around
Down the chimney came St. Nick
And he gave me a pound
He was dressed up all in fur
From his head to his foot
And his clothes were all tarnished
From the ashes and soot
A bundle of toys
He had flung on his back
And he looked like a peddler
When he opened his pack
He had a twinkle in his eyes
And his dimples were deep
His face was mad round
With red rosy cheeks
He had ice in his mouth
Like the frozen North Pole
And the beard of his chin
Was as white as the snow
Stump of a pipe
He held that tight in his teeth
And the smoke made a halo
On his head like a wreath
He had a swag from the hood
And a huge fat belly
That shook when he laughed
Like a bowl of mint jelly
Sturdy and thick
A right jolly old fella
And I laughed when I saw him
In spite of myself
He gave a wink of his eye
And a nod of his head
Like he was tellin me
Yo you got nothing to dread
Mum was the word
Then he went straight to his work
And filled up all the stockings
Then he turned with a jerk
Then laying his finger
On the side of his nose
Gave me a head nod and
Up the chimney he rose
Hopped in his sleigh
Then he gave his raindeer gave a whistle
They all flew away
Like the flight of missile
But
I heard him yell out
As he flew through the night
Merry Christmas to all
And to all a dope night
