Don’t Wait Till the Night Before Christmas Songtext
von Rosemary Clooney

Neighborhood
Okay, that′s a bad call
I just-, whenever she starts
Do you-, is that a bad key?
No, it's a good key
To be good
That′s okay
Yeah, 'cause we ain't gonna stay on it long

Yes, we are (no)
Yes, we are, yes, we are (no, no, no)
We′re going, no, we′re not holdin' no notes
No, no, no, no, no, not holding notes
But we will be in the same key (we will see)
Yes, we will start in the same key
And trust we will finish in the same key (if)
It′s rolling! Oh my God! It's on, okay


If you want toys like other little boys in your neighborhood
Then don′t wait 'til the night before Christmas to be good
Dolls with curls are for the little girls who do things they should
So don′t wait 'til the night before Christmas to be good

You can't fool Mister Santa Claus
He knows right from wrong
But you can′t be right for just one night
You gotta be right, right along
If you would see another Christmas tree
Where the old one stood
Then don′t wait 'til the night before Christmas to be good

Merry Christmas
That was good
I thought it was good too (that was good, where′s the oranges?)
I don't know, and the bananas (and the hard candy)
I know, I love all that (broke two teeth, remember?)
I know, yeah, maybe a doll, maybe a tree
With curl, with cur-, I want a wind-up train (yeah)
That when you wind it up, it has a little light that flickers
