This I found in a book of Christmas carols I have at home. Can you believe it? It's from that song with the refrain: "Up on the house top *click*click*click* Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick" OK, here's verse 2 (from memory, so some words are wrong) "First comes the stocking of little Nell She'll sure be happy I can tell She got dolly that laughs and cries One that opens and shuts her eyes" Not bad, right? Sure, boys should have dolls, too, but, oh well. Now, read the 3rd verse: "Next comes the stocking of little Will Come the morning what a thrill He'll get a hammer with lots of tacks A bright red ball and a whip that cracks" Go ahead, Will, practice on Nell so you'll know how to handle your wife when you get married!
