Well, now, I'm not a sayin' that there ain't a Santy man, Who brings to all good children all the joy he ever can, Who wears a cap and fur trim racd suit, all red and bright' and gay, Who drives a herd of swift ruin doer, all hitched up to a sleigh, Who simply loves tlio cold North wind, and likou the ice and anow, But wiio comos only once a year, then is (iuick to go. Now maybe there's a Santy Claus from whom your gifts are sent, But since you've asked, 1 will say this: I've never seen the gent, But Booms to mc if he brings -L ... t f. v. r- cheer and chases out the woe, Wc! heed his coming of tenor than with the Christmai snow. Why, sometimes when ther mometers say ninety in the shade, And folks Will fret 'bout this and thatno cheer is being i made i Why doesn't Santy with his smiles come down here in his sleigh And taka the frowns from off our brows, and chase the gloom away I'd rather think of Christmas time, with all its joy and mirth. With good will toward your fol low men, and peace on al the earth. Is governed by a Spirit bright who has no human ills, Who ncidn't bundle up in furs for fear sho'll get the chills But who can sing n gladsome song that fills the hearts of men: Then if you need her next July is (tulck to come again.

Then God took lots of golden light and made the brightest star- He put it in the sky to guide the wise men from afar: 'Twas thus they came to Beth lohem to see the new born King; The'r hoarts were filled with happiness 'till they just had to sing. They brought the baby Jesus gifts, all rich and rare and fine. Since then there's always Christ ma 3 gifts, just as a good will sign. The Christmas Spirit hovered near with happy, loving face. But Santa Claus in Bethlehem would seem quite out of place: And so I say Pd rather think that Christmas now's the same As far as Christmas Spirit goes, as when the Savior came. The Spirit creeps into your heart and sings u song so gay, It makes you like your fellow men and elisor thorn on their way. The plan's worked out by Prov indencc, and clear beyond our ken, Hut Christma Spirit does good deeds with help of Chris Man men. So don't be disappointed if our furtrimmed Santa Claus Turni) out to bo a human man who wears clothes like your na's: The Spirit is singing in his heart, and you'll just want to sing.
