TOMORROW IS CHRISTMAS MORNING.
Old Santa Claus woke from his long winter nap,
Put on his fur overcoat muff1er and cap,
Then ordered his reindeer and harnessed the sleigh;
For l must be up and off and away,
Tomorrow is Christmas morning"
He blew on his horn for his Troopers so bold,
A myriad of them in numbers untold,
All mounted and booted in trappings so gay,
The Rocking Horse Troopers all leading the way,
For tomorrow is Christmas morning.
At wave of his hand the Dollies all come,
Both little and big ones, they walk and they run,
Dressed up in fine muslins, silks velvets and lace
With merriment dancing on each pretty face,
For tomorrow is Christmas morning.
He went to the fields where sugar plums grow.
Millions of trees of them row after row.
And bushels and bushels came tumbling adown
Red ones and pink ones and chocolate brown.
For tomorrow is Christmas morning
He pushes button and trinkets galore
Come hustling and bustling right up to his door,
Horns whistles and bells, drums, engines and toys
Such beautiful gifts for good girls and boys
For Tomorrow is Christmas morning
And now he is off for his long Christmas ride,
To visit the children who live far and wide,
Wherever they live and his sharp eyes can see
A stocking hung up a bright Christmas tree
For tomorrow is Christmas morning.
