[00:00:01] The Christmas Riddle - Peggy Lee

[00:00:10] Children may I tell a riddle

[00:00:13] Of someone who's dear to you

[00:00:17] Maybe you will guess the answer

[00:00:20] Long before I'm through

[00:00:25] Riddle a riddle oh tell us a riddle

[00:00:29] Tell us a riddle please do

[00:00:33] Well long ago there lived a bishop

[00:00:38] Who was such a kindly man

[00:00:42] All his life was spent in giving

[00:00:45] That was how it all began

[00:00:49] And they say he rode a white horse

[00:00:53] As he went from door to door

[00:00:57] Giving presents sweets and good things

[00:01:01] Need I tell you any more

[00:01:06] Riddle a riddle it still is a riddle

[00:01:10] Tell us oh please tell us more

[00:01:15] Next the legend says the children

[00:01:19] Would leave hay in a wooden shoe

[00:01:22] For the white horse he was riding

[00:01:26] Now you have another clue

[00:01:31] You gave us a clue you gave us a clue

[00:01:35] About hay in a wooden shoe

[00:01:40] He has many another name

[00:01:44] In many another far off land

[00:01:48] But no matter what the language

[00:01:52] Every child will understand

[00:01:57] Well now when you hang your stocking

[00:02:01] He was why that all began

[00:02:05] All the world has kept the custom

[00:02:10] Of this kind and saintly man

[00:02:15] We've got it we've got it we just guessed the riddle

[00:02:20] We know how it all began

[00:02:25] Yes you know now it was saint nicholas

[00:02:29] For giving gifts he was the cause

[00:02:33] Some have named him dear Kriss Kringle

[00:02:38] Others call him Santa Claus

[00:02:42] And much like the sweet dutch children

[00:02:46] Would leave hay in a wooden shoe

[00:02:51] Others leave some for the reindeer

[00:02:56] And give presents too
