W’EN C’RISMUS COMES

Ain't got no stockin’ big enough for C’rismus-—tried ’em all, ' Hung one up by the chimney-piece, an’ nuther on the wall ; But grandma says that ain’t the way, fer Santa Claus prefers To jest have one big stockin’, an’ so she’ll lend me hers !. Fer I want two drums W’en C’rismus comes, An’ a bran new slate fer doin’ sums; , An’ firecrackers and rockets, too, An’ a horn that’s most as tall as you — - That’s what I want fer C’risjnus ! I’m jest so good the whole day long ’at grandma says ’at she Is ’fraid some angel come along an’ fly away with me; I go to bed at 9 o’clock, I’m up w’en daylight stirs; An’ ain’t no boy—so mother says’at’s half as good as hers! Fer I want two drums W’en C’rismus comes, An’ a bran new slate fer doin’ sums; An’ I want a sled That’s painted red, An’ a six-blade knife, like his pa gave Ned, That’s,what I want fer C’rismus!
