Cricket On the Hearth

[Intro: Danny Thomas]
One Christmas morning
You may look into your stocking and find that something shocking has occured
Among the candy canes and toys you'll hear a funny little noise
You've got yourself a cricket on the hearth

[Chorus 1: The Norman Luboff Choir]
Cricket on the hearth
Take that horshoe off your door
With a cricket on the hearth
You can leave that lucky penny sittin' on the floor

[Chorus 2: The Norman Luboff Choir]
Cricket on the hearth
Throw that rabbit's foot away
With a cricket on the hearth
You can save that sticky wishbone for another day

[Bridge: The Norman Luboff Choir]
Let him abide by the fireside
And luck will come a-knockin' on your door
And the spirit of Christmas will live with you forvеrmore

[Chorus 3: The Norman Luboff Choir]
Cricket on the hеarth
See that mistletoe above?
With a cricket on the hearth
Cut it down, you'll still be lucky

[Outro: The Norman Luboff Choir]
Step on a crack and spill the salt
Cross a cat that's black
Not a thing that'll halt your luck when you have a lucky cricket
Cricket on the hearth
