Than's owned by Tommy Bell.
Of course I want some candy, too,
But the marbles are what tell.

(Steps back, and chorus is repeated as before.)

_3d Pupil_.--I mean to beg a stocking small
Of little sister Clare,
Because I want some things so small
They'll scarce be found e'en there.
I want a ring that has a stone,
And a pretty pin to wear.

(Chorus repeated as before.)

_4th Pupil_.--I've measured all the stockings round,
And think I'll hang up two,
Because I want a pair of skates,--
One stocking will not do.
Of course I want some sweets and things
To last the whole week through.

_Chorus, etc_.

_5th Pupil_.--My mamma's stocking I will hang,
'Twill so much better hold
A tea-set for my dolly dear,
All painted round with gold;
And dishes can't be squeezed, you know,
That's what I've oft been told.
