Up on the Housetop

Up on the Housetop
by Benjamin R. Hanby - 1800s




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, 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 dollie 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

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.
