Naughty and Nice

 

 

Naughty and nice are words proclaimed
By parents to children in holiday style
You see there’s a jolly old elf
And he keeps a large file

He’s making a list
He’s checking it twice
He will soon know
Just who’s naughty and who’s nice

There’s a change in behavior
At least one month out of the year
So many nice children
Their consciences are clear

It’s yes ma’am and no ma’am
We don’t hear the word no in loud tones
And when told to clean their room
We don’t hear any moans

Yes, to be on the nice list
Is every kid’s dream
To stay off the naughty list
Kids will go to the extreme

They are picking up toys
Without being told
They are washing dishes
A sight to behold

Sweeping the floor
And making up beds
For one magic night
With sugarplums in their heads

Why does Santa only come once a year?
Because our kids can’t be good all the time
The naughty list would grow
And that would be a crime

So parents enjoy
The twelfth month of the year
Smile at your little ones
And spread the good cheer
