It is not really a song, but a narrative poem, I like the Fort Knox variant- two guards were on duty, they guarded the place! ( when all through the base was the opening line) do keep a lookout for Willie Sutton.
The names of Santa's reindeer originate from the 1823 poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas," commonly known as "The Night Before Christmas," written by Clement Clarke Moore. In the poem, eight reindeer are named: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder (often spelled as Donner), and Blitzen. These names reflect characteristics or attributes associated with reindeer and evoke a sense of merriment and whimsy tied to the Christmas season. The reindeer have since become iconic figures in holiday tradition and popular culture.

"'Twas the night before Christmas" is the first line of the poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas". The poem first appeared in a newspaper, the Troy (New York) Sentinel, on December 23, 1823. It was published anonymously. Clement Clarke Moore at first denied and later claimed authorship. In recent years, analysis of the poem, Moore's other known writings, and the circumstances surrounding the publication of "A Visit from St. Nicholas" have put Moore's claim of authorship into doubt. Along with, "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus," this has bcome an icon of Christmastime, though neither one is religious. Both first appeared in newspapers close the Christmas, which leads one to wonder if they were really emotional responses to the season or efforts to increase circulation and thus ad revenue.
