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 bring
All the stockings you will find
Hanging in a row
Mine will be the brightest one
You'll be sure to know

Johnny wants a pair of skates
Susie wants a sled
Nellie, she wants a picture book
Yellow, blue, and red
Now I think I'll leave to you
Just what to give the rest
Choose for me dear Santa Claus
You will know the best
You know what I really love
