In a Child's Eye

Who is this large man
upon who's lap I am placed
the one with white hair
covering his face.

Who is this large man
all dressed in red
from his feet up to
the tip of his head?

Who is this large man 
with golden glasses
I hope gas
he does not passes?

Who is this large man
with friends in green
Mom is smiling
so he mustn't me mean?

Who is this large man 
they are all waiting to see
standing in a line
wanting to be me?

Who is this large man
with curved canes of mint?
Oh!  It must be
Jolly Old St. Nick.
