There's a little boy so cunning.
Who's suspicious OF us all;
And at night We often find him
Standing silent I'm the hall.
Straining every nerve to listen
To the words we have 10 say;
Striving hard 10 learn what Santa

Well. We know that he's eavesdropping.
Well we know he's left his bed.
To approach the open stairway
With a soft and noiseless tread.
And We have 70 talk in whispers,
Or we'd give ourselves away.
To the boy who's doubling Santa
And his calls on Christmas Day.
There are signs that he's been proving.
There are cupboards he's ransacked;
And bureau drawer left open
BY the doubter was attacked.
How he plies US all with questions
That are leading in their way;
And we know that he's suspicious
OF the saint OF Christmas Day

We can see that boy already

And his faith already wavers.

To the boy who doubts that Santa

o, my boy, would you be happy.
