Santa visits early – Hyvää joulua!

Santa visits early

in these Northern parts

He makes his first delivery

to Finnish folk and elves.

So we say ‘hyvää joulua’

to you on Christmas Eve

For Santa has arrived here

The famous saint himself.

He sometimes comes in person

Arraigned in his red suit.

But don’t be disappointed

If he just sends an elf.

Presents for the children

Bits for the adults

Letters up the chimney

Clearly brought results.

So he‘ll be with you shortly

But will come while your asleep

Here he visits early

The kids are all awake.

Not sure bout the bearded chap just across the aisle

Are you a good judge of character?

Flying to Helsinki

on a Finnish flight

Not sure bout the bearded chap.

Just across the aisle.

Says he’s bound for Lapland

Then to the North Pole

But something odd about him

And it doesn’t quite add up.

It’s awful hard to read him

He’s wearing funny clothes.

Something odd about the beard

His face all covered up.

He likes to visit children

Creep about at night

Seems a little odd to me

Something’s not quite right.

He didn’t like the menu

Reindeer in a roll

Nordic speciality

But he turned up his nose.

I know you’ll think it rude of me

I really shouldn’t stare

But I’m not sure about that man

Who’s sitting over there.
