Lyrics
Up on the housetop, reindeer paws
Out jumps good old Santa Claus
Down through the chimney with lots of toys, all for the little one's Christmas joys.
Ho-ho-ho, Who wouldn't go?
Ho-ho-ho, Who wouldn't go-o-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 her eyes.
Ho-ho-ho, Who wouldn't go?
Ho-ho-ho, Who wouldn't go-o-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 with 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-o-up on the housetop,
Click-click-click,
Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick.
