w: 1.~Jol-ly old Saint Ni-ko-las, Lean your ear this way!
w: 2.~When the clock is strik-ing twelve, When I'm fast a-sleep,
w: 3.~John-ny wants a pair of skates; Susy wants a dol-ly;

w: Don't you tell a sing-le soul What I'm going to say.
w: Down the chim-ney broad and black, With your pack you'll creep;
w: Nel-lie wants a sto-ry book; She thinks dolls are folly;
"C"ee ee | "G"dd d2 | "Am"cc cc | "Em"e4 ||
w: Christ-mas Eve is com-ing soon; Now, you dear old man,
w: All the stock-ings you will find Hang-ing in a row;
w: As for me, my lit-tle brain Is-n't ve-ry bright;
"F"AA AA | "C"GG c2 | "G"dc de | "C"c4 |]
w: Whis-per what you'll bring to me; Tell me if you can.
w: Mine will be the short-est one, You'll be sure to know.
w: Choose for me, old San-ta Claus, What you think is best.
