THE BAD LITTLE BOYS.

Ii1E BAD Little BO1S.
I.
Three bad little boys kept wide awake
Once, on a Christmas eve,
Though their mothers tucked them up
in the bed
And kissed and covered each curly
head,
They just played make-believe.
"Wel a,y want and watc4g for Santa
An we wont make any noise;
An We'll see him drop
From the chimney top"
Said these wicked little boys,
And the snow that pelted the window
Made faces at them all,
And the clock on the mantle licked;
Oh, no!
l know know-I know-I know"
And the shadows danced Oh the wall.

And then down the chimney came
Santa Claus
Fresh from his snowy sleigh;
But they thought twas a goblin from
the goblin crowd,
And altogether they screamed so loud
They frightened him away!

And prayer will be praise
Where anthems We'll raise

Though sorrow betrays
And the thorns choke the ways,
