One, two, three, four
(Count using fingers)
Is that St Nicholas at the door?
(Cup hand to ear)
Five, six, seven, eight
(Count using fingers)
I hope St Nicholas won't be late
(Look at watch)
Eight, seven, six, five
(Count using fingers)
Quick, he's coming--let's go hide
(Hide face behind hands)
Four, three, two, one,
(Count using fingers)
Look! A surprise--oh, what fun!
(Pretend to hold surprise in hands)
