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 ths 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
