If you don’t b’lieve in Santa Claus, and that your way he’ll call, Don’t mind,the Christmas stocking— don’t hang it up at all! But when Christmas winds are whis tlin’, and the home-lights burn in’ dim, He rides away from little folks that don’t believe in him! II. When you hear his sleigh-bell jingle on the house-tops snowy-white. Say: ‘‘The wind is playin’ music for the witches o’ the night!” When he’s slidin’ do'Cn the chimneys of the still and dreamy town— ”Tis the wind that wants to warm himself—the wind is cornin’ down!” III. f you don’t b’lieve in Santa Claus, like other folks b’lieve. Just wait till Fourth o’ July, and for- forget it’s Christmas eve! Say: ‘‘The children—they just dreamed him, and they think he’s true-and-true!” And don’t hang up your stocking—for he won’t believe in you! IV. When the floor is piled with Play things, and the Christmas trum pets blow. Say no fairy-folk has been there, and that Santa Claus ain’t so! When your stockln’s lookin’ lonesome, then you’ll know the reason why: You’ll wish you’d made-believe in him ’fore Santa Claus went by! m W m 1 to. Your great and great grand-people— they knew him far away. (There’s toys that he gave them in the attic there today!) The chair grandfather dreams in—he gave him that, you know, For bein’ once a little boy and be lievin’ in him so! IV. But—don’t you hang your stocking up if you don’t think that way And kftow lots more ’bout Santa Claus than folks that’s old an gray; But—when Christmas winds are whis tlin’, and the mornin’ stars burn him He rides away from little folks that don’t believe in him!
