Look there is the steamer from far-away lands.
It brings us Saint Nicholas, he's waving his hands.
His horse is a-prancing on deck up and down.
The banners are waving in village and town.

Black Peter is laughing and tells everyone:
"The good kids get candy, the bad ones get none".
Oh dearest St. Nicholas, if Pete and you would,
just visit our house for we all have been good.
