Jolly Old St. Nicholas Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

Jolly old St. Nicholas, lean your ear this way 

Don't you tell a single soul, what I'm going to say 

Christmas Eve is comin' 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, 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 

Jolly old St. 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 

Tell me if you can
