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 joysHo, ho, ho, who wouldn't know?
Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go?

Oh, dear Santa filled it well
Give her a dolly that laughs and cries
One that will open and shut her eyesHo, ho, ho, who wouldn't know?
Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with old Saint NickNext 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 cracksHo, ho, ho, who wouldn't know?
Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go?
