Don’t take it hard, if I say in your ear,

Santa, I think you were partial last year;

Loading the rich folks with everything gay,

Snubbing the poor ones who came in your way:

Now, of all times in the year, I am sure

This is the time to remember the poor.

Little red hands that are aching with cold,

You should have mittens your fingers to hold;

Poor little feet, with your frost-bitten toes,

You should be clothed in the warmest of hose.
