IN SANTA’S WORKSHOP
In Santa’s workshop far away,
Six little elves wrap toys all day.
The first little elf wraps candy canes.
The second little elf wraps electric trains.
The third little elf wraps every jack-in-the box.
The fourth little elf wraps little doll socks.
The fifth little elf wraps books for girls and boys
The sixth little elf wraps all riding toys.
Then Santa puts them in his sleigh
Ready for you on Christmas day.

DREAMS
Four little children dreamed of Christmas Day,
As fast asleep, the children lay.
The first one dreamed of Christmas Trees,
Trimmed in tinsel gay.
The second one dreamed of Santa Claus,
His reindeer and his sleigh.
The third one dreamed of a fireplace
And stockings in a row.
The fourth one dreamed of presents,
And candles all aglow!

ONE LITTLE TEDDY BEAR
One little teddy bear smiling for you,
Here comes another bear, and that makes two.
Two little teddy bears just for you and me,
Here comes another bear, and that makes three.
Three little teddy bears sitting on the floor,
Here comes another bear, and that makes four.
Four little teddy bears looking so alive,
Here comes another bear, and that makes five.
Five little teddy bears all in a row,
Watch them dance and twirl around, as off they go!
