Jolly Old Saint Nicholas

Jolly old Saint Nicholas, lean your ear this way!
Don't you tell a single soulwhat 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 creepAll the stockings you will findhanging in a row
Mine will be the shortest one,you'll be sure to know
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 youwhat to give the rest
Choose for me, dear Santa Claus;you will know the best.
