THE Camel’s hump

THE Camel’s hump is an ugly lump
Which well you may see at the Zoo;
But uglier yet is the hump we get
From having too little to do.

Kiddies and grown-ups too-oo-oo,
If we haven’t enough to do-oo-oo,
We get the hump
Cameelious hump
The hump that is black and blue!

We climb out of bed with a frouzly head
And a snarly-yarly voice.
We shiver and scowl and we grunt and we growl
At our bath and our boots and our toys;

And there ought to be a corner for me
(And I know there is one for you)
When we get the hump
Cameelious hump
The hump that is black and blue!

The cure for this ill is not to sit still,
Or frowst with a book by the fire;
But to take a large hoe and a shovel also,
And dig till you gently perspire;

And then you will find that the sun and the wind.
And the Djinn of the Garden too,
Have lifted the hump
The horrible hump
The hump that is black and blue!

I get it as well as you-oo-oo
If I haven’t enough to do-oo-oo
We all get hump
Cameelious hump
Kiddies and grown-ups too!

Cascabel

Cascabel, cascabel,
Lindo cascabel.
Con sus notas de alegría,
Va cantando él.

Ha llegado navidad
La familia alegre está
Celebrando noche buena
Con paz y con amor.

Cascabel, cascabel,
Lindo cascabel.
Con sus notas de alegría,
Va cantando él.

Ha llegado navidad
La familia alegre está
Celebrando noche buena
En la paz del santo hogar.

Cascabel, cascabel,
Lindo cascabel.
Con sus notas de alegría,
Va cantando él.

Jolly Old St. Nicholas

Text & tune: traditional

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas, lend your ear this way,
Don’t you tell a single soul, what I’m going to say
Christmas Eve is coming soon, now you dear old man
Whisper what you’ll bring to me, tell me if you can-

When the clock is striking twelve, when I’m fast asleep,
Down the chimney broad and black, with your pack you’ll creep
All the stockings you will find, hanging in a row
Mine will be the shortest one, you’ll be sure to know-

Johnny wants a pair of skates, Suzy wants a sled,
Nellie wants a story book, yellow, blue and red,
Now I think I leave to you, what to give the rest,
Choose for me dear Santa Claus, you know what’s the best!
