Jolly Old St 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
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
Johnny wants a pair of skates
Susy wants a dolly
Nellie wants a story book
She thinks dolls are folly
As for me, my little brain isn't very bright
Choose for me, old Santa Claus
What you think is right
