• Chorus:

• Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn’t go?
  Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn’t go?
  Up on the housetop, click, click, click.
  Down thru the chimney with good Saint Nick.

• Verse:

• Up on the housetop reindeer pause,
  Out jumps good old Santa Claus.
  Down thru the chimney with lots of toys,
  All for the little ones, Christmas joys.
• 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.
• 
  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.
