"Jolly Old Saint Nicholas"
|
|
|
|
|
1. |
Jolly old Saint Nicholas,
Lean your ear this way!
Don't you tell a single soul
What I'm going to say;
Christmas eve is coming soon;
Now, you dear old man,
Whisper what you'll bring to me,
Tell me if you can.
|
|
|
2. |
When the clock is striking twelve,
When I'm fast asleep,
Down the chimney broad and black,
With your pack you'll creep;
All the stockings you will find
Hanging in a row;
Mine will be the shortest one,
You'll be sure to know. |
|
|
3. |
Johnny wants a pair of skates;
Susy wants a sled;
Nellie wants a picture book;
Yellow, blue and red.
Now I think I'll leave to you
What to give the rest.
Choose for me, dear Santa Claus;
What you think is best. |
