Twas the night before Christmas,
And all round the beach,
not a creature was stirring,
Not even a leach.

The stockings were hung,
By the boat-house with care,
in hopes that Saint Nicholas,
soon would be there.

For Daddy had taken us,
Down to the shore,
To spend Christmas Eve,
With the family once more.

While Mother and Father,
Lay snug in their bed,
My girl-friend and I,
Went down to the shed.

We took off our clothes,
And pealed down to the skin,
And jumped in the water,
For a mid winter swim.

When out of the darkness,
She let out a hoot,
I just saw a shark,
In a Santa Clause suit.

Then the silence was broken,
By a terrible din,
Jingle bells ringing,
On a circling fin.

We swam and we swam,
To get out of its reach,
'Til we thought we were finally,
Safe on the beach.

When what to our wondrous,
Eyes should appear,
But a jolly white shark,
Who eat tiny reindeer.

Oh Dasher, oh Dancer,
Oh Prancer and Vixen,
Oh Comet, cupid,
Donner and Blitson!

Then one reindeer was left,
To pull the great sled,
Cute little Rudolph,
With his nose so RED!

And then the monster looked at us,
And it was really weird,
A great white shark,
With a great white beard.

His teeth, how they glistened,
With his fins on his belly,
He laughed, HO HO HO,
Like six tons of jelly.

Well we ran to the house,
And tried to get in,
But the doorway was blocked,
By the shark's giant fin.

His jaws opened wide,
To bite off my head,
But from deep down inside,
A voice quietly said,

"I'm not so bad,
I'm really quite good.
But with all those movies,
I'm just misunderstood."

"My Yule wish for men,
Is good will and peace,
And all I want for Christmas,
Is my two front teeth."

And we heard him exclaim,
As he swam out of sight,
"Merry Christmas to all,
And to all a good bite!"

You better not boat,
You better not swim,
You better not float,
Cause your chances are slim,
SANTA JAWS IS COMING TO TOWN!
