He knows if you've been workin' hard

Or sittin' on your caach

Yinz better not paht

Yinz better not cry,

I'm tellin yinz hauscome

Santa Clause is commin' dahntahn.....

My dad, grammaw and aunt were from P'burgh.  Fineview was the neighborhood they lived and grew up in.  Overlooked the rivers and downtown, if I recall.  The last time I was there, there were still streetcars.  It was in the 50's.

I can hear Grammaw's voice in the song above.  Ha, she always said yinz.  Gives me a warm feeling to think about her.  She passed on in the fall of '59.  Nice Christmas present.  Thanks.
