Angels we have heard on high,Sweetly singing o’er the plains.And the mountains in reply,Echoing their joyous strains.

Gloria in excelsis Deo,Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Shepherds, why this jubilee?Why your joyous songs prolong?What the gladsome tidings be,Which inspire your heav’nly song


Come to Bethlehem, and seeHim whose birth the angels sing;Come, adore on bended knee,Christ the Lord, our newborn King.


See Him in a manger laid,Whom the choirs of angels praise;Mary, Joseph lend your aid,While our hearts in love we raise.


Angels We Have Heard on High

Sleigh bells ring are you listeningIn the lane, snow is glisteningA beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebirdHere to stay is a new birdHe sings a love song as we go alongWalking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowmanThen pretend that he is Parson BrownHe’ll say: Are you married?We’ll say: No manBut you can do the job When you’re in town

Winter Wonderland

Later on we’ll conspire As we dream by the fireTo face unafraid the plans that we’ve madeWalking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowmanAnd pretend that he’s a circus clownWe’ll have lots of fun with mister snowmanUntil the other kiddies knock him down

When it snows ain’t it thrillingThough your nose gets a chillingWe’ll frolic and play the Eskimo wayWalking in a winter wonderland

Walking in a winter wonderlandWalking in a winter wonderland

Dashing through the snow,In a one-horse open sleigh,O’er the fields we goLaughing all the way.Bells on bobtail ring,Making spirits bright;What fun it is to ride and singA sleighing song tonight!

Jingle bells, jingle bells,Jingle all the way!Oh, what fun it is to rideIn a one-horse open sleigh!

A day or two agoI thought I’d take a ride,And soon Miss Fannie BrightWas seated by my side.

The horse was lean and lank,Misfortune seem’d his lot,He got into a drifted bank,And then we got upsot.


Now the ground is white,Go it while you’re youngTake the girls tonight,And sing this sleighing song.Just get a bobtail nag,Two forty for his speed,Then hitch him to an open sleigh,And, crack!, you’ll take the lead.


Jingle Bells

I saw three ships come sailing in,On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;I saw three ships come sailing in,On Christmas Day in the morning.

And what was in those ships all three,On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;And what was in those ships all three,On Christmas Day in the morning?

The Virgin Mary and Christ were there,On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;The Virgin Mary and Christ were there,On Christmas Day in the morning.

Then let us all rejoice amen,On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;Then let us all rejoice amen,On Christmas Day in the morning.

I SawThree Ships

Rocking around the Christmas Tree At the Christmas party hop Mistletoe hung where you can see Ev’ry couple tries to stop

Rocking around the Christmas Tree Let the Christmas Spirit ring Later we’ll have some pumpkin pie And we’ll do some caroling

You will get a sentimental feeling When you hear voices singing “Let’s be jolly; Deck the halls with boughs of holly”

Rocking around the Christmas Tree Have a happy holiday Everyone’s dancing merrily In a new old fashioned way

Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree

Jingle Bell RockJingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun Now the jingle hop has begun.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square In the frosty air.

What a bright time, it’s the right time To rock the night away Jingle bell time is a swell time To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet Jingle around the clock Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet That’s the jingle bell, That’s the jingle bell, That’s the jingle bell rock.

God rest ye merry, gentlemenLet nothing you dismayRemember, Christ, our SaviourWas born on Christmas dayTo save us all from Satan’s powerWhen we were gone astray

O tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joyO tidings of comfort and joy

In Bethlehem, in Israel,This blessed Babe was bornAnd laid within a mangerUpon this blessed mornThe which His Mother MaryDid nothing take in scorn

God Rest Ye Merry GentlemenO tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joyO tidings of comfort and joy

From God our Heavenly FatherA blessed Angel came;And unto certain ShepherdsBrought tidings of the same:How that in Bethlehem was bornThe Son of God by Name.


“Fear not then,” said the Angel,“Let nothing you affright,This day is born a SaviourOf a pure Virgin bright,To free all those who trust in HimFrom Satan’s power and might.”


The shepherds at those tidingsRejoiced much in mind,And left their flocks a-feedingIn tempest, storm and wind:And went to Bethlehem straightwayThe Son of God to find.


And when they came to BethlehemWhere our dear Saviour lay,They found Him in a manger,Where oxen feed on hay;His Mother Mary kneeling down,Unto the Lord did pray.


Now to the Lord sing praises,All you within this place,And with true love and brotherhoodEach other now embrace;This holy tide of ChristmasAll other doth deface.

I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus Underneath the mistletoe last night She didn’t see me creep Down the stairs to have a peep She thought that I was tucked up In my bedroom fast asleep

Then I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus Underneath his beard so snowy white Oh, what a laugh it would have been If Daddy had only seen Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

Away in a MangerAway in a manger, no crib for a bed,The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head,

The stars in the bright sky Looked down where He lay,The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the poor Baby wakes,But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes,

I love Thee Lord Jesus, Look down from the skyAnd stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stayClose by me forever, and love me, I pray.

Bless all the dear children In Thy tender care,And take us to Heaven, to live with Thee there.

It came upon a midnight clear,That glorious song of old,From angels bending near the earth,To touch their harps of gold,“Peace on the Earth, goodwill to menFrom heav’n’s all gracious King.”The world in solemn stillness lay,To hear the angels sing.

Still through the cloven skies they come,With peaceful wings unfurl’d,And still their heav’nly music floatsO’er all the weary world:

Above its sad and lonely plainsThey bend on hov’ring wing.And ever o’er its Babel soundsThe blessed angels sing.

O ye, beneath life’s crushing load,Whose forms are bending low,Who toil along the climbing wayWith painful steps and slow:Look now, for glad the golden hoursCome swiftly on the wing;Oh rest beside the weary roadAnd hear the angels sing.

For lo! the days are hast’ning on,By prophets seen of old,When with the ever-circling years,Shall come the time foretold,When the new heav’n and earth shall ownThe Prince of Peace their King,And the whole world send back the songWhich now the angels sing.

O ye, beneath life’s crushing loadWhose forms are bending low,Who toil along the arduous wayWith painful steps and slow;

Look now, for glad and golden hoursCome swiftly on the wing.O rest beside the weary roadAnd hear the angels sing.

“Peace on the earth, goodwill to menFrom heav’n’s all gracious King.”The world in solemn stillness lay,To hear the angels sing.

It Came Upon a Midnight Clear

The first Noel, the angels did say,Was to certain poor shepherds In fields as they lay.In fields where they lay keeping their sheepOn a cold winter’s night that was so deep.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel.Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a starShining in the east beyond them far;And to the earth it gave great light,And so it continued both day and night.


And by the light of that same star,Three wise men came from country farTo seek for a King was their intent,And to follow the star wherever it went.


The star drew nigh to the northwest,O’er Bethlehem it took its rest,And there it did both stop and stay,Right over the place where Jesus lay.


Then enter’d in those wise men threeFull rev’rently upon their kneeAnd offer’d there, in His presence,Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.


Then let us all with one accordSing praises to our heav’nly Lord;

That hath made Heav’n and earth of nought,And with His blood mankind hath bought.


The First Noel

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree!Thou tree most fair and lovely!

The sight of thee at Christmas-tideSpreads hope and gladness far and wide.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,Thou tree most fair and lovely.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree!Thou hast a wondrous message:

Thou dost proclaim the Saviour’s birth,Goodwill to men and peace on Earth.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,Thou hast a wondrous message.

O Christmas Tree

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,With a corncob pipe and a button noseAnd two eyes made out of coal.

Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say,He was made of snow but the childrenKnow how he came to life one day.

There must have been some magic in thatOld silk hat they found.For when they placed it on his headHe began to dance around.

O, Frosty the snowmanWas alive as he could be,And the children say he could laughAnd play just the same as you and me.

Thumpetty thump thump,Thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go.Thumpetty thump thump,Thumpety thump thump,Over the hills of snow.

Frosty the snowman knewThe sun was hot that day,So he said, “Let’s run andWe’ll have some funNow before I melt away.”

Down to the village,With a broomstick in his hand,Running here and there allAround the square saying,“Catch me if you can.”

He led them down the streets of townRight to the traffic cop.And he only paused a moment whenHe heard him holler “Stop!”

For Frosty the snowmanHad to hurry on his way,But he waved goodbye saying,“Don’t you cry,I’ll be back again some day.”

Thumpetty thump thump,Thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go.Thumpetty thump thump,Thumpety thump thump,Over the hills of snow.

Frosty the Snowman

O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of the dear Saviour’s birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining. Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth. A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voicesO night divine, O night when Christ was born; O night divine! O night, O night divine!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand. Led by the light of a star sweetly gleamingHere came the wise men from the Orient land. The King of kings lay thus lowly manger; In all our trials born to be our friends.

CHORUS

Truly He taught us to love one another, His law is love and His gospel is peace. Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother. And in his name all oppression shall cease. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, Let all within us praise his holy name

CHORUS

O Holy Night

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,But the fire is so delightful;And since we’ve no place to go,Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

It doesn’t show signs of stopping,And I’ve brought some corn for popping;The lights are turned way down low,Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight,How I’ll hate going out in the storm;But if you’ll really hold me tight,All the way home I’ll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying,And, my dear, we’re still goodbying;But as long as you love me so,Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Let it Snow!We wish you a Merry Christmas,We wish you a Merry Christmas,We wish you a Merry Christmas,And a Happy New Year!

Good tidings we bringTo you and your kin;Good tidings for ChristmasAnd a happy New Year!

Now bring us some figgy pudding,Now bring us some figgy pudding,Now bring us some figgy pudding,And a cup of good cheer.

We Wish You a Merry Christmas

Here comes Santa Claus!Here comes Santa Claus!Right down Santa Claus Lane!Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeerAre pulling on the reins.Bells are ringing, children singing;All is merry and bright.Hang your stockings and say your prayers,‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Here comes Santa Claus!Here comes Santa Claus!Right down Santa Claus Lane!He’s got a bag that is filled with toysFor the boys and girls again.Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,What a beautiful sight.Jump in bed, cover up your head,‘Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Here ComesSanta Claus

For we like figgy pudding,For we like figgy pudding,For we like figgy pudding,And a cup of good cheer.

When I was a seekerI sought both night and day,I asked the Lord to help me,And He showed me the way.

Go, tell it on the mountain,Over the hills and everywhereGo, tell it on the mountain,That Jesus Christ is born.

He made me a watchmanUpon a city wall,And if I am a Christian,I am the least of all.

Go Tell It on the Mountain

Silent night! Holy night!All is calm, all is bright,Round yon Virgin Mother and Child.Holy Infant, so tender and mild,Sleep in heavenly peace,Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night! Holy night!Shepherds quake at the sight;Glories stream from Heaven afar,Heav’nly hosts sing ‘Alleluia,Christ, the Saviour is born!Christ, the Saviour, is born!

Silent night! Holy night!Son of God, love’s pure light,Radiant beams from Thy holy face,With the dawn of redeeming grace,Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

Silent Night

“As we watched at dead of night,Lo, we saw a wondrous light;Angels singing peace on EarthTold us of the Saviour’s birth”. Chorus

Sacred infant, all divine,What a tender love was thine,Thus to come from highest blissDown to such a world as this. Chorus

Teach, O teach us , Holy Child,By Thy Face so meek and mild,Teach us to resemble Thee,In Thy Sweet humility!

CHORUS

See Amid the Winter’s SnowSee amid the winter’s snow,Born for us on earth below,See the tender Lamb appears,Promised from eternal years.

CHORUSHail, thou ever-blessed morn!Hail, redemption’s happy dawn!Sing through all Jerusalem,Christ is born in Bethlehem.

Lo, within a manger liesHe who built the starry skies;He who throned in height sublimeSits amid the cherubim. Chorus

Say, ye holy shepherds, sayWhat your joyful news today;Wherefore have ye left your sheepOn the lonely mountain steep? Chorus

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas,Ev’rywhere you go,Take a look in the five-and-ten,Glistening once again,With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas,Toys in ev’ry store,But the prettiest sight to see is the holly That will be on your own front door.

A pair of hop-along bootsAnd a pistol that shoots Is the wish of Barney and Ben, Dolls that will talk And will go for a walk,Is the hope of Janice and Jen,And Mom and Dad can hardly wait For school to start again.

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas,Ev’rywhere you go,There’s a tree in the Grand Hotel,One in the park as well,The sturdy kind That doesn’t mind the snow.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas,Soon the bells will start, and the thing That will make them ring Is the carol that you sing, Right within your heart.

Have a holly jolly Christmas It’s the best time of the year Well I don’t know if there’ll be snowBut have a cup of cheer

Have a holly jolly Christmas And when you walk down the street Say hello to friends you know And everyone you meet

Ho ho the mistletoe Hung where you can see Somebody waits for you Kiss her once for me

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas

Have a holly jolly Christmas And in case you didn’t hear Oh by golly have a holly jolly Christmas This year

Have a holly jolly Christmas And when you walk down the street Say hello to friends you know And everyone you meet

Have a holly jolly Christmas And in case you didn’t hear Oh by golly have a holly jolly Christmas This year

16 carol book

Said the night wind to the little lamb, “Do you see what I see? Way up in the sky, little lambDo you see what I see? A star, a star, dancing in the night With a tail as big as a kite, With a tail as big as a kite.”

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy, “Do you hear what I hear? Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy, Do you hear what I hear? A song, a song high above the trees With a voice as big as the sea, With a voice as big as the sea.”

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king, “Do you know what I know? In your palace warm, mighty king, Do you know what I know? A Child, a Child shivers in the cold-- Let us bring him silver and gold, Let us bring him silver and gold.”

Said the king to the people everywhere, “Listen to what I say! Pray for peace, people, everywhere, Listen to what I say! The Child, the Child sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light, He will bring us goodness and light.”

Do You Hear What I Hear?

Hark! The herald angels sing,“Glory to the newborn king;

Peace on Earth, and mercy mild,God and sinners reconciled!”

Joyful, all ye nations riseJoin the triumph of the skies;With th’ angelic hosts proclaim,“Christ is born in Bethlehem!”

Hark! The herald angels sing,“Glory to the newborn King!”

Christ, by highest Heav’n adored,Christ, the everlasting Lord,Late in time behold Him come,Offspring of the favoured one.Veiled in flesh the Godhead see,Hail th’ incarnate Deity!Pleased as man with man to dwell;Jesus, our Emmanuel!

Hark! T he herald angels sing,“Glory to the newborn King!”

Hail the heav’nly Prince of Peace!Hail, the Son of righteousness!Light and life to all He brings,Ris’n with healing in His wings.Mild He leaves His throne on high,Born that man no more may die;Born to raise the sons of earth;Born to give them second birth.


Come, Desire of nations come,Fix in us Thy humble home;Oh, to all Thyself impart,Formed in each believing heart!

Hark! The herald angels sing,“Glory to the new-born king;

Peace on Earth, and mercy mild,God and sinners reconciled!”


Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

I heard the bells on Christmas dayTheir old familiar carols play,And wild and sweet the words repeatOf peace on Earth, good will to men.

I thought of how the day had come,The belfries of all ChristendomHad rolled along the unbroken songOf peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despair I bowed my head“There is no peace on Earth,” I said“For hate is strong and mocks the songOf peace on earth, good will to men.”

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:“God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;The wrong shall fail, the right prevailWith peace on earth, good will to men.”

Till ringing, singing on its wayThe world revolved from night to day,A voice, a chime, a chant sublimeOf peace on earth, good will to men.

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

Joy to the world! The Lord is come:Let earth receive her King;Let ev’ry heart prepare Him room,And heav’n and nature sing,And heav’n and nature sing,And heav’n, and heav’n and nature sing.

Joy to the world! The Saviour reigns:Let men their songs employ,While fields and floods, rocks, Hills and plains,Repeat the sounding joy,Repeat the sounding joy,Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.No more let sin or sorrow grow,Nor thorns infest the ground;He comes to make his blessings flowFar as the curse is found,Far as the curse is found,Far as, far as the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,And makes the nations proveThe glories of His righteousnessAnd wonders of His love,And wonders of His love,And wonders, wonders of His love.

Joy to the World

You know Dasher & Dancer & Prancer & Vixen,Comet & Cupid & Donner & Blitzen,But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all...

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,Had a very shiny nose,And if you ever saw it,You would even say it glows!

All of the other reindeer,Used to laugh and call him names;They wouldn’t let poor Rudolph,Join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,Santa came to say:“Rudolph, with your nose so bright,won’t you guide my sleigh tonight.”

Then how the reindeer loved him,As they shouted out with glee:“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,You’ll go down in history!”

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing Ring ting tingle-ing too Come on, it’s lovely weather For a sleigh ride together with youOutside the snow is fallingAnd friends are calling “You Hoo” Come on, it’s lovely weather For a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy-up giddy-up giddy-up Let’s go, let’s look at the snow We’re riding in a wonderland of snow

Sleigh RideGiddy-up giddy-up giddy-up it’s grand Just holding your hand We’re gliding along with the song Of a wintry fairyland

Our cheeks are nice and rosyAnd comfy cozy are we We’re snuggled up together like two Birds of a feather would be

Let’s take the road before us And sing a chorus or two Come on, it’s lovely weather For a sleigh ride together with you

The Christmas SongChestnuts roasting on an open fireJack Frost nipping at your noseYule-tide carols being sung by a choirAnd folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkeyAnd some mistletoeHelp to make the season brightTiny tots with their eyes all aglowWill find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa’s on his wayHe’s loaded lots of toysAnd goodies on his sleighAnd every mother’s child is gonna spyTo see if reindeerReally know how to fly

And so I’m offering this simple phraseTo kids from one to ninety-twoAlthough it’s been said Many times, many waysMerry Christmas to you.

Oh! You better watch out, you better not cry, You better not pout, I’m telling you why: Santa Claus is coming to town!

He’s making a list, he’s checking it twice, He’s gonna find out who’s naughty or nice. Santa Claus is coming to town!

He sees you when you’re sleeping, He knows when you’re awake. He knows when you’ve been bad or good, So be good for goodness sake!

So...You better watch out, you better not cry You better not pout, I’m telling you why. Santa Claus is coming to town.

Little tin horns, Little toy drums. Rudy-toot-toot And rummy tum tums. Santa Claus is coming to town.

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Little toy dolls That cuddle and coo, Elephants, boats And Kiddie cars too. Santa Claus is coming to town.

The kids in Girl and Boy Land Will have a jubilee. They’re gonna build a toyland town All around the Christmas tree.

Oh....You better watch out, You better not cry. You better not pout, I’m telling you why.

Santa Claus is comin’ Santa Claus is comin’ Santa Claus is comin’ To town.

O little town of BethlehemHow still we see thee lieAbove thy deep and dreamless sleepThe silent stars go by

Yet in thy dark streets shinethThe everlasting LightThe hopes and fears of all the yearsAre met in thee tonight

O morning stars togetherProclaim the holy birthAnd praises sing to God the KingAnd Peace to men on EarthFor Christ is born of MaryAnd gathered all aboveWhile mortals sleep, the angels keepTheir watch of wondering love

How silently, how silentlyThe wondrous gift is given!So God imparts to human heartsThe blessings of His heaven.

No ear may his His coming,But in this world of sin,Where meek souls will receive him still,The dear Christ enters in.

Where children pure and happyPray to the blessed child,Where misery cries out to thee,Son of the mother mild;Where charity stands watchingAnd faith holds wide the door,The dark night wakes, the glory breaks,And Christmas comes once more.

O holy Child of BethlehemDescend to us, we prayCast out our sin and enter inBe born to us todayWe hear the Christmas angelsThe great glad tidings tellO come to us, abide with usOur Lord Emmanuel

O Little Town of Bethlehem

We three kings of Orient are;Bearing gifts, we traverse afar;Field and fountain, moor and mountain,Following yonder star.

O star of wonder, star of night,Star with royal beauty bright,Westward leading, still proceeding,Guide us to the perfect light.

Born a King of Bethlehem’s plain,Gold I bring, to crown Him again,King forever, ceasing neverOver us all to reign.


Frankincense to offer have I,Incense owns a Deity nigh.Pray’r and praising, all men raising,Worship Him, God most high.


Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfumeBreathes a life of gathering gloom;Sorr’wing, sighing, bleeding, dying,Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.


Glorious now behold Him arise,King and God and sacrifice,Alleluia, Alleluia,Earth to the heav’ns replies.

We Three Kings

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,Fa la la la la, la la la la.’Tis the season to be jollyFa la la la la, la la la la

Don we now our gay apparelFa la la, la la la, la la la.Troll the ancient Yuletide carolFa la la la la, la la la la

See the blazing Yule before usFa la la la la, la la la la.Strike the harp and join the chorusFa la la la la, la la la la

Deck the HallsFollow me in merry measureFa la la, la la la, la la la.While I tell of Yuletide treasureFa la la la la, la la la la

Fast away the old year passesFa la la la la, la la la la.Hail the new ye lads and lassesFa la la la la, la la la la

Sing we joyous all togetherFa la la, la la la, la la la.Heedless of the wind and weatherFa la la la la, la la la la

Jolly old Saint 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.

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.

Jolly Old Saint NicholasJohnny 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.
