Thread Name: Lyr Req: I'll Telephone to Santa Claus
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Telephone and Tell Old Mr. Santa Claus
I can see so many people have different versions. This is the way I remember it being sung to me as a child and this is how I have passed it on to my own children .. correctly or incorrectly it is still a beautiful song to sing to children at Christmas.

I'll telephone and tell old Mr Santa Claus
You want him to call tonight
He will come and see you when you're quietly sleeping
Through the window he'll come softly creeping

Hang up all your stockings on the bedposts children
Blow out the candle light
Jump into bed, cover up your head
Blow a kiss goodnight.

Sack upon his back he will bring you toys
Dolls for the girls, guns for the boys
Brown teddy bears too and dogs that bark
And all of the animals from old Noah's Ark

There'll be fairies and lanterns on your christmas tree
And big boxes of bonbons that you'll pull with glee
Then when midnight chimes out
Through the window he'll creep
So hang up all your stockings now, my little ones sleep

I'll telephone and tell old Mr Santa Claus
You want him to call tonight
He will come and see you when you're quietly sleeping
Through the window he'll come softly creeping

Hang up all your stockings on the bedposts children
Blow out the candle light
Jump into bed, cover up your head
Blow a kiss goodnight.
