Jolly Ho Ho Ho


from the ABC set poemsbypaulmccann

Jolly Ho Ho Ho and away we go through the blinding snow .
See the sky all aglow above the mountain tops ,

Ho Ho .

Over chimney pots
with sacks of toys for little girls and boys .
Won’t they be surprised ?

Ho Ho .

Its time for kids to make some noise ,

Ho Ho

Get out all those brand new toys .
Cars that go beep beep beep .
Trains that go a root a toot a toot ,
dolls that can creep creep creep

Jolly Ho Ho Ho
Its Christmas day ,
see the children at play .
Every second of every hour ,
filled with joy and wonder

Hey did their dreams all come true ?
Did you have a good time too?

Ok , follow me .
Away we go , ho ho
back to a place in time
Fun and games were all we had and innocence was yours and mine .

Life was good and there was not enough hours in the day to play .

Every thing was different then when our hearts lived for Christmas Day .
