| Could n't sleep for Old Jack Frost | B |
| Wandering round like some old ghost | C |
| Gave the door an awful shake | A |
| Knocked against my bed's brass post | C |
| Last night we were kept awake | A |
| Could n't sleep he made such noise | D |
| Rapped and tapped and prowled around | E |
| Once he made a snapping sound | E |
| Just like that of breaking toys | D |
| You'd been scared too I'll be bound | E |
| Could n't sleep he made such noise | D |
| All was dark and very still | F |
| When right at the window 'bing ' | G |
| Came a rap that made me sing | H |
| 'Mother I'm afraid ' until | F |
| Mother fussed like everything | H |
| All was dark and very still | F |
| 'Old Jack Frost is raising Ned | I |
| And to morrow wish to state | J |
| We'll get even sure as fate | J |
| Cure him of his tricks ' she said | I |
| 'Start a fire in the grate | J |
| Old Jack Frost is raising Ned ' | G |
| Then I heard my father's voice | K |
| 'You just let Jack Frost alone | L |
| He's good friends you should have known | L |
| With Old Santa Little boys | D |
| Are not scared of him my son ' | G |
| Then I heard my father's voice | K |
| So I went to sleep again | M |
| Let him bang the furniture | N |
| All he cared to I was sure | O |
| I'd get even that was plain | P |
| Old Man Fire would be his cure | O |
| So I went to sleep again | M |
| Once he rattled at my mug | Q |
| Where was water then he crept | R |
| Round the room and softly stept | R |
| Here and there upon the rug | Q |
| Felt his breath but I just slept | R |
| Once he rattled at my mug | Q |
| Well you should have seen the things | S |
| That he painted on the panes | T |
| When 't was morning towns and trains | T |
| Flowers and fairies ropes and rings | S |
| Stars and ribboned weather vanes | T |
| Well you should have seen the things | S |
| I just shouted when I saw | U |
| Called to father 'Just look here | V |
| Old Jack Frost is such a dear | W |
| Wish he'd show me how to draw | U |
| I'd be good for one whole year ' | G |
| I just shouted when I saw | U |
