Verse 1:
Up on the (housetop/rooftop) reindeer pause
Out jumps good old Santa Claus.
Down through the chimney, with lots of toys,
All for the little ones' Christmas joys.
Chorus:
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 old Saint Nick.
Verse 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.
Chorus:
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 old Saint Nick.
Verse 3:
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!
