It was a dark night see, and there was like snow
And there was this house out there see
And mom and I were settling down for a long winter’s nap
She in her black denim kerchief
And I in my motorcycle cap, see
And there arose these hooves on our rooves
Hoofs on a roof
I tell ya it was more like a clatter up there,
You get the picture?

"Twas the night before-"
