WORK WANTED by ANNETTE WYNNE

First Line: I'D LIKE TO WORK FOR SANTA CLAUS
Last Line: JIM.
Subject(s): CHRISTMAS; CHRISTMAS GIFTS; DECEMBER; SANTA CLAUS; TOYS; NATIVITY, THE; NICHOLAS, SAINT;

I'D like to work for Santa Claus;
It's fun to go around
With jingling bells and everything
Across the sky and ground.

I helped the grocer some all year
To carry in the things;
I'd like to work for Santa Claus
And pack the toys he brings.

And tie the packages, and keep
The snow from off his face,
And hold the reindeer when he slides
Down some high chimney place.

It must be hard to do it all
The whole long busy night;
Dear Santa, if you want a lad
To help you so—just write!
JIM.
