"Jolly Old Saint Nicholas" is a Christmas song written by Benjamin Hanby, author of "Up on the House Top". The song is traditionally performed to a melody originally written by James Lord Pierpont (which he used for the original version of "Jingle Bells"). ==Lyrics== The traditional lyrics are: This is the original published song in 1881: :Jolly Old Saint Nicholas, :Lean your ear this way; :Don't you tell a single soul :What I'm going to say, :Christmas Eve is coming soon; :Now my dear old man, :Whisper what you'll bring to me; :Tell me if you can. :When the clock is striking twelve, :When I'm fast asleep, :Down the chimney broad and black :With your pack you'll creep; :All the stockings you will find :Hanging in a row; :Mine will be the shortest one; :You'll be sure to know. :Johnny wants a pair of skates; :Susy wants a dolly :Nellie wants a story book, :She thinks dolls are folly :As for me, my little brain :Isn't very bright; :Choose for me, dear Santa Claus, :What you think is right. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jolly Old Saint Nicholas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
