Ol' Saint Nicholas

Recorded by Doris Day in 1949

Ol' Saint Nicholas
You're the one
We jump for joy whenever
Oh so jolly
Ol' Saint Nicholas passes by
Spreadin' spirit with a twinklin' eye

Ol' Saint Nicholas
Over head
You hang a twig of merry mistletoe and
Ol' Saint Nicholas gay are we
Catching kisses by the yuletide tree

How does it feel to be such a Mr. Big?
King of the party each year
How does it feel to be so full of
Captivating Christmas cheer?

So, Ol' Saint Nicholas
Here's to you
A toast for bringin' goodies to the young and
Ol' Saint Nicholas hip-hooray
Have a happy Christmas day!

There's a merry little man we know
And to everybody's home he'll go
When the weather's at a cold degree
Can't you guess who it can be?

Ol' Saint Nicholas
You're the one
We jump for joy whenever
Oh so jolly
Ol' Saint Nicholas passes by
Spreadin' spirit with a twinklin' eye

Ol' Saint Nicholas
Over head
You hang a twig of merry mistletoe and
Ol' Saint Nicholas gay are we
Catching kisses by the yuletide tree

Wouldn't you know that you'd be responsible
For all the holiday noise?
Wouldn't you know that we'd be just like
Other little girls and boys?

So, Ol' Saint Nicholas
Here's to you
A toast for bringin' goodies to the young and
Ol' Saint Nicholas hip-hooray
Have a happy Christmas day!
Have a happy Christmas day!
