1. Zie ginds komt de stoomboot
Look there is the steamer
From far-away lands
It brings us Saint Nicholas
He’s waving his hands
His horse is a-prancing
On deck up and down
The banners are waving
In village and town
Black Peter is laughing
And tells everyone
The good kids get candy
The bad ones get none
Oh dearest Saint Nicholas
If Pete and you would
Just visit our house
For we all have been good

2. Hoor de wind waait door de bomen
Hear the wind over rooftops humming
In the chimney hear it blow
Will saint Nicholas still be coming
Through the storms and through the snow 2x
Yes he comes though storms be beating
On his horse so strong and fast
If he hears our hearts a-beating
Surely he would not ride past 2x

3. O, kom er eens kijken Chorus: Oh come have a look at
What I’m finding in my boot
Dropped through the chimney
Yet no speck of soot
A jumping jack with wolly head
My name in letters of gingerbread
A book with pictures and some paint
We thank you dear old saint
A doll with rigtails in her hair
Her dress as white as saint’s old mare
A sugar bunny sweet and quaint
We thank you dear old saint
