'Twas the Night Before Christmas in our Club house
           by L Ralph Grabowski, Chief Lionel Engineer

'Twas the night before Christmas in our Club house thorough 
not a Choo-Choo was stirring, not even a Burro

Our Members were nestled all snug in their chairs, 
with dreams that a Big Boy soon would be theirs 

I with my camera and Official Club cap; 
Carolan's nodding off for a nap

Train orders hung on the scenery with care
In hopes that Santa Fe soon will be there

When out on the Main Line we heard such a clatter, 
I flew from the fiddle yard to see what's the matter

Across the trestle; clickety-clack 
Santa Fe is coming back

War Bonnet paint scheme; colors galore  
How could a little boy wish for more?

Our Members are pulling Santa Fe's train 
with 18 volts and a Lionel Crane 

Now Trevor!  Now Erick! 
Their engines run so quick

Dash away Dr. Bob in his detailed Beemer  
We opened some presents and fired up a steamer

Now Bob, Bob, and Bobby!
Mike, Mike, Al, and Al
Our Members all male; 
not one single gal!

Now Bill!  Now David!  
On Andy and Richard!  
On Dennis!  On Chris!  
It's Christmas train bliss.

On Lew!  On Carl!  On Earl!  On Jim!  
Now Robert and our Ernie slim!

More members; that is not all
Dash away John, Burt, and Paul

We're waiting for Wayne 
to come run his train

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the tracks 
the growl from post-war F3 stacks

Signalling his horn; 'ere drove out of sight, 
"Big Boys to all, and to all a good night!"
