Jolly old Saint Nicholas, Lend 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 story book; yellow, blue, and red. Now I think I'll leave to you What to give the rest Choose for me, dear Santa Claus; You will know the best.
