Lyrics
(English folk tune, Lyrics by Alice C.D. Riley)
1. Down the chimney wide and black comes old Santa Claus.
Laden with his Christmas pack, dear old Santa Claus.
Tops and skates and sleds for sliding,
Jolly hobby horse for riding,
Oh such treasures in his pack! Dear old Santa Claus!
2. Such a merry fellow, he, dear old Santa Claus!
Generous as he can be, dear old Santa Claus!
For the girls, new bows and laces,
Baby dolls with smiling faces,
Don’t forget to call on me, dear old Santa Claus!
