Intro jingle bell :
F C7 F
F
It was the night before Christmas and all through the castle
Dm
My monsters were having a Yuletide hassle
Bb
The tree was all trimmed in ghoulish things
C7
Like monster fangs and vampire wings
F
It was a monster's holiday
But they were up to no good
Dm
It was a monster's holiday
Didn't act like good monsters should
Bb
It was a monster's holiday
They found themselves a new play
C7
It was a monster's holiday
They planned to rob Santa's sleigh
F
They were making a list and checking it twice
Dm
Frankenstein wanted a shiny new tryk
Bb
A new chain for Yarnush A brace for Igor's back
C7
A speed shaver for Wolfman A new cape for Drak
F
It was a monster's holiday
But they were up to no good
Dm
It was a monster's holiday
Didn't act like good monsters should
Bb
It was a monster's holiday
They found themselves a new play
C7
It was a monster's holiday
They planned to rob Santa's sleigh
Bb C7
The Mummy was to signal from the castle roof
Bb C7
At the very first sound of a reindeer hoof
Bb C7
As Santa slid down the chimmney wall
Bb C7
The zombies were to make off with sleigh and all
F
From beyond the moat arose such a clatter
Dm
I jumped to the window to see what was the matter
Bb
Like a bolt of lightning it happened so quick
C7
And there in our midst stood old Saint Nick
F
He began to dig down deep in his sack
Dm
And came up with the traction for Igor's back
Bb
Drak got his cape
Franky's tryk made him behave
C7
Even Wolfman was happy now he can shave
F
It was a monster's holiday
And all ended well
Dm
It was a monster's holiday
And Santa was really swell
Bb
It was a monster's holiday
No need to rob santa's sleigh
C7
It was a monster's holiday
Maybe next year he'll come back
F
So the children everywhere were spared the grief
Dm
Of losing their presents to a monster sleigh thief
Bb
Now the monsters love Santa and say they'll behave
C7
And never again rob sleighs or graves
loops ad lib.
F
it was a monster's holiday
Dm
it was a monster's holiday
Bb
it was a monster's holiday
C7
it was a monster's holiday
Igor, what do you think of Santa now? 'Arrrrrr...Santa good!'
And Santa said as he drove out of sight
Dracula accent:
'Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night blaaaa!'
Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow
Where is that reindeer with the red nose blaaaa
On Dasher and Dancer and Comet and Cupid...
