The Friend of Santa Claus

She is the friend of Santa Claus,
You never hear her step, because
In velvet shoes she likes to creep
To put the boys and girls to sleep.

They like to stay awake and try
To see the dear old man come by,
But little Sleep, who is so wise,
Puts velvet fingers on their eyes.

She steals across a thousand floors,
This faithful friend of Santa Claus;
So even if you stay awake
She’ll leave you sleeping for his sake!
