La Noche Before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the casa
not a creature was stirring, ay caramba, ¿qué pasa?
The work was all done and the tired old nanas
had tucked all the children away in their camas.
The stockings were all hung in their places with cuidado,
in hopes that Saint Nick would feel obligado.
Then all of a sudden I heard such a grito,
I jumped to my feet like a frightened cabrito!
I ran to the window to look para afuera,
and who in the world do you think it era?
Saint Nick in a sleigh with a big red sombrero,
came flying along like a crazy bombero,
and pulling the sleigh instead of venados.
i saw at a glance, eight tiny burritos.
I watched as they came, and this quaint little hombre
was shouting and whistling and calling my nombre.
¡Ay Pancho! ¡Ay Pepe! ¡Ay Cuca! ¡Ay Beto!
¡Ay Chato! ¡Ay Memo! ¡Aruca y Neto!
Then standing up straight with his hand on his pecho,
he flew to the top of our very own techo!
With his round little belly like a bowl of jalea,
he struggled to fit down our old chimeneca.
He filled all the stockings with lovely regalos,
for none of the children had been very malos.
Then chuckling around (he seemed muy contento),
he turned like a flash, and was gone like the viento.
But I heard him exlclaim, and this is verdad:

"¡Salud y Pesetas! ¡Feliz Navidad!"
