Up on the housetop reindeer pause
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 go
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go
Up on the housetop [*knock knock knock*]
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
Up on the housetop [*knock knock knock*]
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
A whistle and 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 [*knock knock knock*]
Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick
Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick
