Jolly Old Saint Nicholas Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

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 

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 

Johnny wants a pair of skates Susie wants a dolly 

Nelly wants a storybook, 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 

Jolly old Saint Nicholas lean your ear this way 

Tell me if you can 

(Jolly, Jolly, Jolly, Jolly old Saint Nick)
