Jolly Old Saint Nicholas

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

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

Susie wants a dolly

Nelly wants a storybook,

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

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

Tell me if you can
