Lyrics[]
- 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 be, tell me if you can.
- Amy wants a brand new dress, Tina just wants toys. Adam wants a game to play with other girls and boys.
- Luci wants a new baton, Derek wants a bike. Michael told us Santa knows just what he would like.
- Lots of special wishes are being made right now, and we know he hears them all, though we don't know how.
- Everything he brings us will be so very right, as he travels 'round the world on this special night.
- When the clock is striking twelve, when you're fast asleep, down the chimney broad and black, with my pack I'll creep.
- All the stockings you will find, hanging in a row, mine will be the shortest one, you'll be sure to know.
- Hannah wants: (A pair of skates!), Stephen wants: (A sled!), Keesha 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.
