JOLLY OLD St. NICOLAS

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.
