JOLLY OLD ST. NICK



Santa Dropped Into The Store
Just The Other Day
To Spread His Yuletide Cheer --
And  Check Out Our   Display !
His Suit Was Red ; Trimmed in White
With Big Black Boots ;  What a Wonderful Sight
And He Made Us  Laugh ; Much to His Delight !
He Wanted Books For Kids & All
To Brighten Up Their Day  !
He Said if We Would Just Comply
And  Make His   Wish Come True....
So To The Brim We Filled His Bag
With Books & Goodies Too !
Jumping Out of His Bag ; Was A Marvelous Sight
Little Green Elves & Some Fairys Too  !
They did a Litte Jig, A Dance, & A Song,
And Penny, the Boston Terrier,   Sang Along
We Were Ever So Happy With Their Merry Song
They Sprinkled Their Dust & All Was Fine
Then Trimmed The Tree in Record Time
Hung A Little Holly & Bowed  to Say:
"     We'll See You On Christmas Day  " !
They Spun Around & Clicked Their Heels
And Before our Eyes They Disappeared  !
Then  Just As  Santa ..........Went Upon His Way
He Tweaked  His Nose & Turned To Say :
"A Mistletoe  Mrs. Claus Would Hang Upon Your Entryway"
........ It Brings Good-Luck &   Kisses  Too !
........To  Nice Little Kids & All of You !
We Heard the Jingle of The Bells
As Rudolph  Led The Way  
Up  Thru  The Chimney & Onto The Roof
All We Could Hear Were  The Reindeer Hoofs !
Quick As A Wink ;They Were Gone in A Flash
They  Had Many Stops & Much To Do !
So On  A Cold Winter Nite; Just Out of The Blue
Don't Be  Surprised If They Visit You
So Buy A Book & Bring A Smile
Upon Someone Today  !
And  Don't Forget  in '96
"  Jolly Old St. Nick  "
