Up on the housetop

Up on the housetop reindeer paws out jumps good old Santa Claus

Down through the chimney with lots of toys

All for the little ones, Christmas joys

Ho, ho ho! Who wouldn't know? Ho, ho ho! Who wouldn't know?

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 know? Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't know?

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
Also a ball and a whip that cracks

Ho, ho ho! Who wouldn't know? Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't know?
