' Twas the week before Christmas, and 

all through the house 

Not a creature was stirring, not even 

Elfie on the shelf;

The stockings were hung by the chimney 

with care,

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be 

there;

The children were nestled all snug in their 

beds,

While visions of Elfie danced in their heads;

Where will they find her, Where will she 

be?

Elfie plays all night while we sleep in our 

beds.

One the first day when we arose, 

We all sprang from the bed, to see 

where Elfie had dozed.

We looked, and looked and where would 

she be,

But taking a Sleigh riding ride down the 

Christmas tree.  

The second day came with new-fallen 

snow

Gave way to finding Elfie in the middle 

of the objects below,

When, what to our wondering eyes should 

appear,

But Elfie, and eight tiny reindeer,

With little Elfie, so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment she was playing 

St. Nick. 

More rapid than eagles her courses 

they came, 

And she whistled, and shouted, and 

called them by name;

"Now, DASHER! now, DANCER! now, 

PRANCER and VIXEN!

On, COMET! on CUPID! on, DONDER and

BLITTZEN!

To the top of the porch! to the top of 

the wall!

Now dash away! dash away! dash away 

all!

With the day of her leaving now quickly 

approaching

We are in quite a surprise with the stunts 

she is pulling.

Oh where will we find her, Oh what will she 

do next!

On top of the porch! On the top of the wall!

On the fireplace or treetop, maybe she 

won't fall!

As the third day approaches before the 

night fall,

When will she move, where will she sprawl?

So to bed we go, with anticipation we can't 

wait,

What great things does she have in store 

for us to see the next day?

And then, in a twinkling, 

I heard lots of voices.

It sounded like a party, 

Oh what is she doing?

As I drew in my bed, 

and was turning around,

The sounds of a pool party were all around.
