WE KNOW.

Recitation for Two Very Little Children.

We are just two little children,

Too small to work or sew,

But we know when it’s Christmas,

And what it’s for we know.

And we know what we’re good for;

It’s just to grow and grow,

And be two little children

For you to love and know.

So, Santa, dear old Santa,

Please come here soon, for oh!

We’re waiting and we’re waiting

Because we love you so.
