Listening for Santa Claus.

Something is up the chimney, Scratching and making a noise, Carl thinks it’s Santa Claus coming, To bring him some nice new toys. He wrote a letter this morning, Then went to the fire-place And poked it up the chimney With smiles on his little face. “Santa Claus come,” he whispered. “Here is a letter for you,” “I want a nice new waggon, So bad, don’t know what to do.” “Santa Claus, I’m a good boy, I don’t cry all the day, I want to see your reindeers, And your great, big, buful sleigh.” “Is that you up the chimney Scratching that funny way? Did you come for my letter? Please Mr. Santa Claus say.” Santa Claus didn’t answer, But Carl believes he heard And will bring him all he asked for Because he sent him word.
