Like a wreath</i>

328
00:22:22,506 --> 00:22:26,050
<i>He had a broad face
And a round little belly</i>

329
00:22:26,051 --> 00:22:30,012
<i>That shook when he laughed
Like a bowlful of jelly</i>

330
00:22:30,013 --> 00:22:34,600
<i>He was chubby and plump
A right jolly old elf</i>

331
00:22:34,601 --> 00:22:38,229
<i>And I laughed when I saw him
In spite of myself</i>

332
00:22:38,230 --> 00:22:40,648
<i>A wink of his eye
And a twist of his head</i>

333
00:22:40,649 --> 00:22:44,443
<i>Soon gave me to know
I had nothing to dread</i>

334
00:22:44,444 --> 00:22:47,530
<i>He spoke not a word
But went straight to his work</i>

335
00:22:47,531 --> 00:22:51,408
<i>And filled all the stockings
Then turned with a jerk</i>

336
00:22:51,409 --> 00:22:54,328
<i>And laying his finger
Aside of his nose</i>

337
00:22:54,329 --> 00:22:57,998
<i>And giving a nod
Up the chimney he rose</i>

338
00:22:57,999 --> 00:23:01,502
<i>He sprang to his sleigh
To his team gave a whistle</i>

339
00:23:01,503 --> 00:23:06,503
<i>And away they all flew
Like the down of a thistle</i>

340
00:23:07,092 --> 00:23:11,262
<i>But I heard him exclaim
Ere he drove out of sight</i>

341
00:23:11,263 --> 00:23:16,263
Happy Christmas to all,
and to all a good night!

342
00:24:08,278 --> 00:24:13,278
