* Guess the Saint Nicholas song

* Saint Nicholas word web

Guess that song

Oh, come have a look at
What I’m finding in my boot
Dropped through the chimney
Yet no speck of soot!

Oh kom er eens kijken 

Oh, come have a look at

What I’m finding in my boot

Dropped through the chimney

Yet no speck of soot!

Guess that song

Look there is the steamer
From far away lands
It brings us Saint Nicholas
He’s waving his hands.
His horse is a-prancing
On deck up and down.
The banners are waving
In village or town.

Zie ginds komt de stoomboot

Look there is the steamer

From far away lands

It brings us Saint Nicholas

He’s waving his hands.

His horse is a-prancing

On deck up and down.

The banners are waving

In village or town.

Guess that song

Hear who knocks there children
Hear who taps there children
Hear who raps against the window panes
It’s a stranger surely
Who is lost here surely
Let us ask him what may be his name.
Saint Nicholas, Saint Nicholas,
Pay us a call tonight, please do
We’ve put hay and carrots
In each and ev’ry shoe.

Hoor wie klopt daar kinderen

Hear who knocks there children

Hear who taps there children

Hear who raps against the window panes

It’s a stranger surely

Who is lost here surely

Let us ask him what may be his name.

Saint Nicholas, Saint Nicholas,

Pay us a call tonight, please do

We’ve put hay and carrots

In each and ev’ry shoe.

Guess that song

Good Saint Nich’las is in Holland once again
With his horse and Peter from sunny Spain
And even if he can’t stay long
We hope he’ll stop to hear our song.
Dear Saint Nich’las, the door is open wide
For you and Pete to step inside.
And we’re singing, voices ringing
And our hearts rejoice
‘Cause the Saint loves all good girls and boys. (2x)
