When every year at Christmas time, he pays us all a call.
In far away chill Norway, there NISSEN is the name
Of the Christmas visitor who bears good Santa's fame;
But he's a naughty brownie, so short and very small;
Not a bit like Santa, who is large and fat and tall.
But like our good gift giver, his beard is long and white,
And he wears a coat of furs and many colors bright;
But instead of bringing goodies to good girls and to boys,
Nice new clothes and books and games and lots of wondrous toys.
He expects that all the big folks and also little ones,
