1.

Up on the housetop, reindeer pause

Out jumps good ol' Santa Claus

Down through the chimney with lots of toys

All for the little ones, Christmas joys

Refrain:

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

2.

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

Refrain

3.

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

Refrain
