Who is it sets you thinking, though you’re as busy as can be, About the songs and laughter 'round the children’s Christthas tree? Though you vow “this Christmas business is a ‘nuisance, auyhow,” ' There’s influence at work that clears the frowning from your brow; - The small tin trumpet sounds a blast that wakes your soul serene To homage for the doll who is a lady and a queen. And the once prosaic world where it has been your lot to dwell Is a realm of fascintions 'neath some mystic fairy spelll If there isn’t any Santa Claus, who is it day by day, That turns our thoughts to Christmas, strive to shun it as we may?
