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. Bobby wants a pair of skates,

• Suzy wants a sled

• Nellie wants a picture book,

• yellow, blue, and red.

• Now I think I’ll leave to you

• what to give the rest

• Choose for me, dear Santa Claus;

• you will know the best.
