Nobody's like old Santa Claus
With his red and Jolly face;
There's not another around the globe
Can travel so swift a pace.
His twinkling eyes. and his merry
laugh.
His chuckle OF bubbling glee-
Nobody else is so dear by half
To Dad and Mother and Me-
He doesn't forget the baby sweet
As she rocks in her cradle white;
He has time to wait for the tagging
feet
OF his old. by candlc-light.
He has gifts and gifts for the young
and gay,
Who encircle the Christmas Tree;
And he has the love to his latest day
OF Dad and Mother and Me.
The frost Is chill in the nippIng blast.
Smooth is the icy mere;
The short fleet days go hurrying past
To the last Of the waning year.
And never was nose OF the summers
prime
So royalty fair to see
AS the rose that blooms In the winters
rims
For Dad and Mother and Ne.

And wheels into town on his bicycle.
