Guess Who
There is a man who’s fat and jolly,
And he brings us all good cheer.
He comes from ’way up North you
know,
And he comes but once a year.
He’s go a suit of red and white,
And the nicest, jolly face.
He never frowns nor grumbles;
His smile’s always in place.
He’s got eight pretty reindeer,
And the nicest kind of sleigh.
And just to think! in a few more days
He’s coming down this way.
