Something is up the chimney, / Scratching and making a noise, / Carl thinks it's Santa Claus coming, / To bring him some nice new toys.
He wrote a letter this morning, / Then went to the fire-place / And poked it up the chimney / With smiles on his little face.
"Santa Claus come," he whispered. / "Here is a letter for you," / "I want a nice new waggon, / So bad, don't know what to do."
"Santa Claus, I'm a good boy, / I don't cry all the day, / I want to see your reindeers, / And your great, big, buful sleigh."
"Is that you up the chimney / Scratching that funny way? / Did you come for my letter? / Please Mr. Santa Claus say."
Santa Claus didn't answer, / But Carl believes he heard / And will bring him all he asked for / Because he sent him word.
