Extra Lyrics (not in this performance)
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.
Bobby wants a pair of skates, Suzy wants a sled,
Nellie wants a picture book, yellow, blue and red.
Now, I think I'll leave to you what to give the rest,
choose for me, dear Santa Claus, you will know the best.
