Up On the Housetop Lyrics

Santa Claus comes tonight
No more days to count
But the even longer, wait begins
The suspense of having to wait from bedtime ′til morning
Yes, kids all over the world say their prayers and go to sleep
Knowing that when they wake up
The little fat man with the long white beard will have stopped by their houses
And left the answer to a wish from the most magical sight there ever was

Ho, ho, ho
Ho, ho, ho
Up on the housetop
Ho, ho, ho

Up on the house top reindeers 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) oh, who wouldn't go?
(Ho, ho, ho) who wouldn′t go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with good St. Nick

First comes the stocking of little Nell
Oh, dear Santa, fill it well
Give her a dolly that laughs and cries
One that can open and shut its eyes

(Ho, ho, ho) who wouldn't go?
(Ho, ho, ho) who wouldn't go?
Up on the house top, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with good St. Nick

Look in the stocking of little Bill
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, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with good St. Nick

Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn′t go?
Up on the house top, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with good St. Nick
Down through the chimney with good St. Nick
