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
Suzy wants a darling
Nellie wants a story book
She keeps stars on falling
As for me my little great
Isn't very bright
Choose for me dear 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
