"just another philly eve
yet those who believe
in the magic of christmas
midnight mass they would not miss

others are in their home
hopefully not alone
waiting for saint nick
in the light of a candlestick

but santa has a sleigh
that found its way
down federal street
with him perched in his seat

wearing a new red suit
a buckle on his boot
to all he has one thing to say
have a merry christmas day"
