Let's be happy and lively
And let's rejoice from our hearts!
Merry, merry, tra-la-la-la-la!
Soon it's St. Nicholas' Eve
Soon it's St. Nicholas' Eve!
Then I'll put the plate out
St. Nick's sure to put something on it
Merry, merry, tra-la-la-la-la!
Soon it's St. Nicholas' Eve
Soon it's St. Nicholas' Eve!
When I sleep, I dream
Now St. Nick brings something for me
Merry, merry, tra-la-la-la-la!
Soon it's St. Nicholas' Eve
Soon it's St. Nicholas' Eve!
When I've gotten up
I run fast to the plate
Merry, merry, tra-la-la-la-la!
Soon it's St. Nicholas' Eve
Soon it's St. Nicholas' Eve!
St. Nick is a good man
You can't thank him enough
Merry, merry, tra-la-la-la-la!
Soon it's St. Nicholas' Eve
Soon it's St. Nicholas' Eve!
