By Christmas Day
" By Christmas Day "

There's this jolly old man at the old North Pole

He's the merry old soul that we know so well

He wears a funny red suit that's trimmed in white

A stocking cap and a black belt that's bright

He's the leader of a band of Good hearted elves

Who make toys for children just to amuse themselves

They make these toys and they make them right,

And they finish them all by Christmas night

Then they pack them up and put them on a sleigh

So Santa can deliver them by Christmas Day

Nine tiny reindeer pull this sleigh,

And pulling this sleigh to them is play

There's Dasher, Comet, Dancer, Blitzen, Cupid, Donner, Prancer, Vixen

And leading the pack with his nose so red,

Rudolph's shiny nose adds a light to the sled

From house to house they pull that sleigh

And they do it all in just one day

Up and down chimneys all night long,

Santa places toys while humming songs

He delivers presents cause that's his way,

And he delivers all the presents by Christmas Day
