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

[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 old Saint Nick

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

[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 old Saint Nick

Look in the stockings of Lilly and Will
Oh, just see what a glorious fill!
Here's a little hammer and lots of tacks
A whistle, a ball, and a whip that cracks
[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 old Saint Nick

Pa, ma, and Uncle, and Grandma too
All I declare have something new
Even the baby enjoys his part
Shaking a rattle, now bless his heart

[Chorus]
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't?
Go, go, go! Who wouldn't?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down the chimney comes old Saint Nick

Rover, come here, are you all alone?
Haven't they tossed you an extra bone?
Here's one to gladden your honest jaws
Now wag a "thank'ee" to Santa Claus

[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 old Saint Nick
(Down, down, down, down) Up on the housetop
(Down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down) Up on the housetop, baby
(Down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down) We're going down, yeah
(Down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down)
