| Who love the Fairies in the glade | A |
| Who see them in the tangled grass | B |
| The Gnomes and Brownies as they pass | B |
| Who hear the Sprites from Elf land call | C |
| Go frolic with these Brownies small | C |
| And join these merry sporting Elves | D |
| But ever be your own sweet selves | D |
| - | |
| The big bright Moon hung high and round | E |
| In a densely darkened sky | F |
| The tall pines swayed and mocked and groaned | G |
| The mountains grew so high | F |
| That the Man in the Moon came out and said | H |
| 'Ho Spooks for a merry dance ' | - |
| The winds blow hard the caverns roar | I |
| While o'er the earth they prance | J |
| - | |
| A Witch and a Goblin led the sprites | J |
| Out from the sky they sprung | K |
| And down the milky way they slid | L |
| And over a chasm swung | K |
| The streams around ran witches' broth | M |
| The fumes were strong and rank | N |
| These Elfin creatures all were wroth | M |
| While of the stuff they drank | N |
| - | |
| - | |
| The cunning Moon looked on and laughed | O |
| With a shrill and sneering jibe | P |
| Her soul grew fat to see them chaffed | O |
| This mad and elfish tribe | P |
| The big black caldron boiled so high | F |
| With food for these queer mites | J |
| That it lit the world throughout the sky | F |
| And down came all the Sprites | J |
| - | |
| - | |
| Their mad career upset a star | Q |
| As through the air they flew | R |
| It cringed in fear and shot afar | Q |
| And fell where no one knew | R |
| Orion's sword was broke in bits | J |
| Corona's crown was gone | S |
| Capella seemed to lose her wits | J |
| While all so longed for dawn | S |
| - | |
| Then from the night there came a sound | O |
| Of sleigh bells ringing sweet | O |
| Out of the chaos came a man | T |
| Kris Kringle for his Christmas treat | O |
| 'Ho Kris ' they cried 'We'll have some fun | U |
| We'll bind the old man down | V |
| We'll tie him up and toss him o'er | W |
| Into our Goblin town ' | - |
| - | |
| They climbed the sleigh with shout and din | X |
| To bind his hands and feet | O |
| A hundred strong they clambered in | X |
| Our good old Kris to meet | O |
| He sat quite still with twinkling eyes | J |
| Then seized his mystic wand | O |
| He raised it up and waved it round | O |
| Stilled was this chattering band | O |
| - | |
| Stiffly stark and still they stood | O |
| Clad in elfish clothes | J |
| Some were wax and some were wood | O |
| One had crushed his nose | J |
| 'Playthings rare ' he said and smiled | O |
| 'For children rich and poor | Y |
| Some I'll leave the crippled child | O |
| And some at the orphan's door ' | - |
| - | |
| He shook his reins and called his steed | O |
| To bear him swiftly on | Z |
| Full well it knew its Master's need | O |
| To hurry e'er the dawn | S |
| From house to house they scampered down | V |
| Their sleigh bells ringing clear | A2 |
| Through chimneys in the sleepy town | V |
| Good Kris and his reindeer | A2 |
| - | |
| The windows rattled the moonbeams tattled | O |
| A tale so strange and queer | A2 |
| They told how at night in dire affright | O |
| The Moon had hid in fear | A2 |
| - | |
| That he'd called in sport his elfish court | O |
| Of spooks and witches gay | B2 |
| Each Elfin child by glee beguiled | O |
| Brought scores of others they say | B2 |
| Then a man appeared with flowing beard | O |
| In a sled with a reindeer fleet | O |
| They gathered about with din and shout | O |
| To bind him hands and feet | O |
| - | |
| Then the Moon laughed loud at the gathering crowd | O |
| While he held his sides in mirth | M |
| To see old Kris in a plight like this | J |
| Toiling o'er the earth | M |
| - | |
| But alas for the Moon he had laughed like a loon | C2 |
| For Kris is a hero of old | O |
| Yes Kris is a seer with his small reindeer | A2 |
| He captured the Goblins bold | O |
| And he changed them they say in a wonderful way | B2 |
| To toys for his Christmas cheer | A2 |
| The big dolls stare with a goblin air | D2 |
| - | |
| While the moonbeams prattle I hear a rattle | E2 |
| Of hoofs on the chimney side | O |
| Then out on the snow I gaze below | F2 |
| 'Hurrah it's Kris Kringle ' I cried | O |
| Then sly as a mouse he entered the house | J |
| And hung up his treasures so gay | B2 |
| Then out with a dash he sped like a flash | G2 |
| Into the night and away | B2 |
