Up On the Housetop

Traditional

words adapted by Susan M. Shaw

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' Yuletide 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 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 can open and shut its eyes

Look in the stocking of little Bill

Oh, just see that glorius fill!

Here is a hammer and lots of tacks

Whistle and ball and a set of Jacks
