When at last that first crack of dawn Opens light in the still starry night When the sleepy silence has broken And the dawn breeze begins to stir That overgrown limb on the lilac bush Starts scratching against the door When the ol’ tea kettle starts to whistle And then begins to rattle on the stove When the little feet begin to pitter-patter Up and down and over the roof some more When oh when is it …..finally time yet To crawl out from under covers on our beds And peek around the living room door Can you make out how many gifts There are now under the tree on the floor Oh It is time I say so lets rise and shine There’s just no way we can wait any more
