It`s "be a good boy, Willie,"     And it`s "run away and play, For Santa Claus is coming     With his reindeer and his sleigh." It`s "mind what mother tells you,     And it`s "put away your toys, For Santa Claus is coming     To the good girls and the boys." Ho, Santa Claus is coming, there is Christmas in the air, And little girls and little boys are good now everywhere. World-wide the little fellows     Now are sweetly saying "please," And "thank you," and "excuse me,     And those little pleasantries That good children are supposed to     When there`s company to hear; And it`s just as plain as can be     That the Christmas time is near. Ho, it`s just as plain as can be that old Santa`s on his way, For there are no little children that are really bad to-day. And when evening shadows lengthen,     Every little curly head Now is ready, aye, and willing     To be tucked away in bed; Not one begs to stay up longer,     Not one even sheds a tear; Ho, the goodness of the children     Is a sign that Santa`s near. It`s wonderful, the goodness of the little tots to-day, When they know that good old Santa has begun to pack his sleigh.
