Saint Nicholas.

Saint Nicholas brings presents For little girls and boys; Saint Nicholas brings dozens Of all the nicest toys.

Hang out your biggest stocking Before you go to sleep; But if you hear him coming, You mustn't even peep.

[Illustration: The Sea side Doll.]

The Sea side Doll.

There's one doll for winter, When ice comes and snow; Another for spring time, When primroses grow.

A dolly for dark nights, To take into bed; And one for the morning, Till lessons are said.

But this is the dolly To play on the sands, You see both a pail and A spade in her hands.

Ping Pong.

Sing a song of Ping pong, Fast away he ran: "Come along," said Ping pong, "Catch me if you can!"

Sing a song of Ping pong, Racquet and a ball: "Come along," said Ping pong, "You can't run at all!"

[Illustration: Ping Pong.]

[Illustration: Jujuba.]

Jujuba.

Here's Uncle Jujuba, Who has a sweet tooth; He used to eat sugar Cane oft in his youth,

In South Carolina, Where sugar cane grows, From which they make sugar, As everyone knows.

Blue Coat.

His dressing gown's blue, and His girdle is red; He wears a black cap On top of his head.

He carries a candle To give you a light, In case you should ever Get up in the night.

[Illustration: Punch.]

Punch.

There is a queer dolly named Punch, Who has a remarkable hunch. The tip of his nose Is red as a rose, And that's how you know Mister Punch.

The Shepherdess.

Shepherdess! Shepherdess! Looks to the sheep; Shepherdess! Shepherdess! Watches their sleep.

Shepherdess! Shepherdess! When they cry "Baa," Shepherdess! Shepherdess! Knows where they are.

[Illustration: The Shepherdess.]

[Illustration: The Cowboy.]

The Cowboy.

There was a bold cowboy Came out of the west; Of all the bold riders, This cowboy's the best.

The horse he brought with him Will not run away; But stands by the side of His master all day.

Blackman the Giant.

This is the long and The short of it too: One dolly stood still, The other one grew.

She who is little Prefers to be tall; Blackman the giant Would like to be small.

[Illustration: Blackman the Giant.]

[Illustration: The Twins.]

The Twins.

If one were not blue, While the other is red, You'd fancy that Su San was Mary instead.

If one were not red, While the other is blue, 'Twould surely be said, That Miss Mary was Sue!

The Highlander.

Right about, left about, Halt and stand at ease! Shoulder arms, attention, Steady, if you please.

Order arms, present arms, Forward, by your right! Double, double, double, Double to the fight!
