This year I will stay awake
all night long make no mistake.
On this Christmas Eve I'll keep
my eyes open, try to peep.
This year I won't drowse or dream
but be alert till Santa's been,
see just what he leaves and how
he fits down our chimney now,
how the presents all appear
hear the sleigh bells and reindeer.
This year I will not count sheep
but pretend to be asleep.
No catnaps or snoozing but I
won't drop off and get some shut-eye.
This year there will be no slumber
I won't let myself go under.
No forty winks or throwing zeds.
No blinking, kipping, heavy headszz..
This year I won't nod or doze
Or let my heavy eyelids close.
This year I won't nod or doze
or let my heavy eyelids close.
or let my heavy eyelids close.
or let my he..avy eye..li..ds clo..se.
or let my he..avy eye..liiids clo..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
