Alas, I am not musically inclined so only I can hear this in my head as it’s meant to be.  Watch this video first, though.  It will help.  And I do apologize for getting this melody in your head.  Once it gets in there, it is very, very hard to get out.

In the dark of the night I slept so very peacefully

And the sweet dream I had was as good as can be –

It might make you jealous a bit –

Just wait, let me explain it!
when I opened my eyes
And the sweet dream was…he!!

He’s really the most mystical man in all the world

He’s checking to make sure you don’t make a mistake!
Just waiting for that big day
It’s only a few days away!
You had better beware,
Santa is awake!

[ELVES]
In the dark of the night Santa will find you
In the dark of the night just before dawn!
Aah…

[SANTA]

Cookies will be sweet
When the list is complete!

[ALL]

In the dark of the night

[SANTA]
I’ll deliver!
I can feel that my powers are again returning!
Make sure all the toys are in my big bag of tricks

As the Pieces fall into place

I’ll come down your fireplace
The reindeer my dear must keep pace
Let’s go

[ELVES]
In the dark of the night Santa will find you!

[SANTA]

That’s what I promised to do!

[ELVES]
In the dark of the night hot cocoa will brew.
Ooh!

[SANTA]

Soon you will feel that your dreams are now real.

[ALL]
In the dark of the night

[SANTA]

I’ll come to you!

[ELVES]
In the dark of the night
Santa will find you
Find you!
Ooh!
In the dark of the night dreams will come true.
For you!

[SANTA]

My dear, I’ll be there —
So you better beware!

[ALL]

In the dark of the night…
In the dark of the night…

[SANTA]

Come my reindeer

Fly for your master,
Let your red nose shine!
Guide us now,
Yes, fly ever faster

[ELVES]

In the dark of the night…
In the dark of the night…
In the dark of the night…

[KID]

The toys are mine!
