Christmas Songs

Wind up Santa's music box and sing along!

Sing along! Each line lights up when it is time to sing it.

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas

Traditional American song, 1860s

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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, dear Santa Claus,

What you think is right.
