Dear Santa Claus, I hope that you Will find it easy to get through
Our chimney, 'cause if you should stick
Up there where all the smoke is thick,

For goodness sakes, what would you do?
So if you find it is not wise
Enough for you to safely slide
 
Down to our room without mistake,
The window you must take.
It's quite close to the chimney, too,
And big enough, I know, for you.

And leave unlocked the attic door;
And if I can I'll open, too,
The window so you can get through
 
Without the leastest bit of fuss
With all the presents you've for us.
I don't see how you'll tell apart
Our stockings, so you'd better start
 
With mine; it's close up to the clock;
The next is father's silken sock;
