Verse 1: 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.

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 2: 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.

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 3: 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.

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.

Alternate Verse 3: Look in the stocking of little Bill;
Oh, just see that glorious fill!
Here is a hammer and lots of tacks,
A whistle and a ball and a set of jacks.
