Traditional - Jolly old Saint Nicholas - текст песни (слова)

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.
