The Christmas dreams of children
are of Santa’s workshop
Where elves work frantically
all his sleigh to top
With gaily wrapped presents
for good girls and boys
All they could ask for
in stuffed animals and toys
Some deserving little girls
will get new baby dolls
When they pull the string
out to them it calls
And there will some
of the dreaming boys
Who receive the Nutcracker
as desired of his toys
That one enchanted eve
unto life will spring
Mounting up an army
in the playroom to bring
And save sister’s doll
this prince in disguise
Leading the Rat King
down to his demise
While sugar plums and candy canes
through sissy’s dreams all dance
Brother smiles when the Nutcracker
slays Rat King with his lance
As there on Christmas Eve
will the children dream
Until the morning’s light
does through the window stream!
