Up on the housetop

Reindeer pause,

Out jumps good old Santa Claus.

Down thru' the chimney

With lots of toys,

All for the little ones,

Christmas joys.

Ho, ho, ho!

Who wouldn't go!

Ho, ho, ho!

Who wouldn't go!

Up on the housetop,

Click, click, click,

Down thru' the chimney

With good Saint Nick.


First comes the stocking

Of little Nell,

Oh, dear Santa

Fill it well;

Give her a dolly

That laughs and cries

One that will open

And shut her eyes.

Ho, ho, ho!

Who wouldn't go!

Ho, ho, ho!

Who wouldn't go!

Up on the housetop,

Click, click, click,

Down thru' the chimney

With good Saint Nick.


Next comes the stocking

Of little Will,

Oh just see

What a glorious fill

Here is a hammer

And lots of tacks,

Also a ball

And a whip that cracks.

Ho, ho, ho!

Who wouldn't go!

Ho, ho, ho!

Who wouldn't go!

Up on the housetop,

Click, click, click,

Down thru' the chimney

With good Saint Nick.
