- 1.
- 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.
- 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 dolly;
- Nellie wants a story book;
- 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.
