Up on the Housetop Lyrics
Up on the housetop reindeer pause,
Out jumps Good Old Santa Claus
Down through the chimney with lots of toys
All for the little good girls and boys
Ho, ho ho! Who wouldn’t go? Ho, ho ho! Who wouldn’t go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through 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 it’s eyes
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn’t go? Oh, ho, ho! Who wouldn’t go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through 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
A whistle and a ball and a whip that cracks
Ho, ho ho! Who wouldn’t go? Oh, ho, ho! Who wouldn’t go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick
