Santa Claus in Holland
Now children, listen to my tale- -it's true;
When Santa Claus to Holland-
-looks 'round for a shoe
He finds it near the chimney, wide
Where you a stocking hang;
And when the house is still and dark
Old Santa, with a bang
Comes tumbling down into the room
-Hans and Gretchen lie
And looks 'round for the wooden shoes;
As soon as they meet his eye
If Gretchen's words have gentle been
All through the long year past;
If Hans had been a- -boy
Then Santa Claus will cast
Into each little wooden shoe
Knives, marbles, dolls, and toys;
For don't you see, he knows
What pleases girls and boys
But if their words have angry been
With quarrels not a few
Ah, then old Santa leaves a whip
Within each wooden shoe!
