'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, Things were real mellow.... Even Irving, the Mouse. Our boots were hung up, the incense was lit, In hope that St. Nick would soon do his bit. The tree was decked out; It was really a sight, With love beads and flowers And a flashing strobe light Wearing my T-shirt From Woodstock Nation, I was getting into some good meditation. And my chick was doing some Yoga in bed, Munching a fruit cake, while propped on her head. Then...POW!!!..in the night... ....a hullabaloo! It shook the waterbed and woke up Old Blue. I stumbled around and tripped on my beard. It stuck to my toes and felt really wierd. When I got to the window, I was really uptight, 'Cause the scene I perceived Was a mind-blowing sight! What through my shades did I see through the snow, but eight tiny mooses and a wild U.F.O.! With this hip dude inside, looking kinky and groovy... I flashed..."If this ain't Nick, It must be the late movie." They blew in from the cosmos like some far-out caboose and this Fat Cat kept yelling at each midget moose. "Right On, Dasher! On, Dancer! GET IT ON...DO YOUR TING. Get your bods in high gear, now and move this machine!" Then onto the roof they flew with a shout, the whole Kosmic Crew really freaked me out! They caused such a hassle and made such a fuss, I thought someone would call the fuzz down on us. But before I could say, "COOL IT!... HOLD DOWN THAT LOUD JIVE," Nick zapped toward the chimney and leaped in with a dive! As he trucked from the fireplace, his smile all agleam, I thought, "IT'S UNREAL! It must be a dream!" Then he nodded and said, "This ain't a bummer... Like, I've come in peace, to groove my Yule Number." His duds were all fur, Trimmed in leather and such and he came on Stone Funky... ...He was really too much. His back-pack was painted with black-light festoon, Full of albums and posters and a neon baloon. His eyes, a light show! His beard, da-glow bright! A plastic, fantastic, Kaleidoscope sight! He looked like a guru, this beautiful cat... ...I thought, like, wow!... this dude knows where it's AT! "Don't want to sound heavy," He said with a grin, "My message is simple So dig it...tune in." "I brought you some goodies, but that's not the thing. My real trip is bringing good vibes to this scene." So we rapped until dawn about Peace, Love, and Truth, Then he said; "Gotta split, now, or I'll be late in Duluth!" And he wiggled his nose and said; "I did my bit" and stright up the smoke hole that Fat Cat did split! As he sped from the roof and into the air, He shouted; "Let's get it together, all you people down there! Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night!" And then in a flash, he streaked out of sight!!! (really out of sight)
