Does anyone know the lyrics to this song?

The Little Christmas Stocking With the Hole in the Toe

There's a house upon the hill Hanging on the windowsill
There's a little Christmas stocking with a hole in the toe
And when Santa came to call at the house upon the hill
He saw the Christmas stocking hanging in the candle's glow
And he chuckled to himself as he walked across the floor
At the little Christmas stocking with the hole in the toe

Thanks

LITTLE CHRISTMAS STOCKING WITH THE HOLE IN THE TOE

In the house upon the hill
Hanging on the window sill
Was a little Christmas stocking with a hole in the toe
And when Santa came to call
At the house upon the hill
He saw the Christmas stocking hanging in the candle glow.

Santa chuckled to himself
As he walked across the floor
To the little Christmas stocking with a hole in the toe
And he saw a note was pinned
To the place where it was torn
He read the note then turned his head so teardrops would not show

The note said, "Santa I am just a little boy
And I have everything that could bring me yuletide joy
When you fill my stocking, if it should overflow
I won't mind if something pushes through the hole in the toe."

Santa went back to his sled
And he loaded up his sack
Then he went back down the chimney and his heart was oh so glad
And he filled the stocking until no more he could pack
'Cause the note said, "Please, dear Santa
Could you make the gifts for mom and dad?"

This blog mentions a 1953 78-rpm children's record: "Ken Jay and Cricket Chorus doing FROSTY THE SNOWMAN b/w THE LITTLE CHRISTMAS STOCKING WITH THE HOLE IN THE TOE."

Record Collectors Guild describes a 45-rpm record on the Cricket label, CX8, and says the singers are The Cricketones.

eBay.ca lists an LP called "Christmas Is for Children" that contains the song.

Some web sites give the title slightly differently, as "THE LITTLE CHRISTMAS STOCKING WITH A HOLE IN THE TOE" or "...IN ITS TOE". (Such small differences can be crucial when using a search engine.)
