'Tis the night before Christmas
And all through my little pad
Not a creature is stirring
Not even Mom and Dad
But I'm lyin' here wide awake
No it ain't the he-bee-jebees or the eggnog shakes
I got the Christmas Eve Jitters tonight

I hear something up on the roof!

There's no use in waitin'
For me to settle down
I'm already celebratin'
I'm grinnin' like a clown
Well there's toys and candy waitin' for me
I can't wait to see what's under that tree
I got the Christmas Eve Jitters tonight

I got the Christmas Eve Jitters
I'm shakin' like a bowl of jelly
My mind is all a twitter
There's butterflies in my belly
Well I'm tossin' and turnin' in my bed
Got the sugarplums a-dancin' in my head
I got the Christmas Eve Jitters tonight
I fluffed up my pillow
And now I'm all tucked in
I hung my stocking up with care
My mind is in a spin
That snow outside is cold and deep
No cup of hot cocoa gonna make me sleep
I got the Christmas Eve Jitters tonight

I got the Christmas Eve Jitters!
Oh by gosh by golly
I'm shakin' like a little leaf
On a great big wreath of ha-ha-holly
It's the same thing, buddy, every year
Bu-bu-bustin' my buttonss with the holiday cheer
I got the Christmas Eve Jitters tonight
I got the Christmas Eve Jitters tonight!

I'm so wound up!
