'Tis a week before Christmas
And all through the house
Not a creature is stirring
Except Mrs. Mouse
And all through the house
Not a creature is stirring
Except Mrs. Mouse
The stockings aren't hung
By the chimney with care
Santa Dude's in a box
But I don't know where
By the chimney with care
Santa Dude's in a box
But I don't know where
I don't own a kerchief
The Hubs sports a cap
What we wouldn't give
For a long winter's nap!
The Hubs sports a cap
What we wouldn't give
For a long winter's nap!
The bare tree is nestled
All snug in it's stand
Well, bare, but for lights
Deftly hung by the hand
All snug in it's stand
Well, bare, but for lights
Deftly hung by the hand
Of a kind, handsome elf
Who just drove off to shop
So I've hauled up a bin..
Now a star sits on top
Who just drove off to shop
So I've hauled up a bin..
Now a star sits on top
Soon I'll hang shiny orbs
Of green, red, and blue
And in no time at all
Be enjoying the view
Of green, red, and blue
And in no time at all
Be enjoying the view
Of my festive fake tree
With it's twinkling lights
And the window of snowflakes
They are quite a sight
With it's twinkling lights
And the window of snowflakes
They are quite a sight
Sometimes Christmas comes slow
To the outsides of things
But my heart holds it tightly
The Truth, and it's ring
To the outsides of things
But my heart holds it tightly
The Truth, and it's ring
For Jesus came quietly
In a Mid-Eastern cave
Left heaven to free me
Sin no longer enslaves
In a Mid-Eastern cave
Left heaven to free me
Sin no longer enslaves
This is the garland
That hangs round my heart
All the rest are traditions
Not the whole, just a part
That hangs round my heart
All the rest are traditions
Not the whole, just a part
We deck halls with bright lights
For the Light who has come
He alone’s the adornment
I need in my home
For the Light who has come
He alone’s the adornment
I need in my home
