A Child's Christmas Eve

by

Eddie O'Hara

The christmas tree is glowing bright
There's an angel on top with a starry light
Glistening and sparkling - Oh, what a tree!
There's Santa's red stocking. It went up to his knee

I wonder, I wonder, what's under the tree
All wrapped up there waiting for me
I wonder, I wonder, what present's for me
I'll wait till the morning and that's when I'll see

Mumma and poppa are having fun
Out in the kitchen doing things to be done
Tommy and Jill are under the tree
Trying to guess what each present could be

I wonder, I wonder, what's under the tree
All wrapped up there waiting for me
I wonder, I wonder, what present's for me
I'll wait till the morning and that's when I'll see

The church bells were ringing - Mumma said "It's midnight"
Santa came but kept out of sight
He came down the chimney, but I didn't see
He left presents for everyone under the tree

I wonder, I wonder, what's under the tree
All wrapped up there waiting for me
I wonder, I wonder, what present's for me
I'll wait till the morning and that's when I'll see

We left cocoa for Santa, he drank it all up
In the backyard he left Janey a pup
Tomorrow, if he likes mumma's cooking
The pup can have some of my christmas pudding

I wonder, I wonder, what's under the tree
All wrapped up there waiting for me
I wonder, I wonder, what present's for me
I'll wait till the morning and that's when I'll see

..Oh! I just went to the window and took a peep
If that pup don't stop barking, we won't get to sleep!
