And the overflowing stockings you soon shall see;

And the bundles queer, and surprises dear,

I am bringing to you, children, as I come.

Children—

(Clap hands at “merry” wherever it comes in the chorus, surround Santa Claus, taking his hands, etc.)

Oh, ’tis merry Christmas! Oh, ’tis merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas that we love best of all the whole round year!

Oh, ’tis merry Christmas! Oh, ’tis merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas who’ll be our king!

He’s best of all the year!
