Lyrics
(Melody by C. C. Roeske, 1889, Lyrics by Emilie Poulsson)
O clap, clap the hands and sing out with glee,
For Christmas is coming and merry are we!
Now swift o’er the snow the tiny reindeer
Are trotting and bringing good Santa Claus near.
Our stockings we’ll hang, and while we’re asleep,
Then down through the chimney will Santa Claus creep.
He’ll empty his pack, then up he will come
And, calling his reindeer, will haste away home.
