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.
