in the morning, early morning, see the dawn light on the snow
on the rooftops, quiet rooftops, there are hoof prints in a row
see the children, little children, they are sleeping in their beds
and they're dreaming, gently dreaming, joyous visions in their heads
oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh
boys and girls, boys and girls it's nearly christmas morning now
in their stockings, heavy stockings, there are games and toys and treats
every child knows santa claus is riding on his sleigh
all the while they sleep he's leaving presents on the way
many kids will wake and think about the christmas tree
so they'll scramble down the stairs and look under the tree
oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh
boys and girls, boys and girls it's nearly christmas morning now
bells are ringing christmas morning, there's a stirring in the air
see the children, children waking, christmas day is finally here
