Up on the Housetop
Santa's Christmas Surprises: Joyful Adventures Down the Chimney
Lyrics
Up on the house top reindeers paused
Reindeers pause on the rooftop
Out jumps good old Santa Claus
Santa Claus jumps out
Down through the chimney with lots of toys
Santa comes down the chimney with many toys
All part of a little ones with Christmas joys
The joy of Christmas for little ones with the gifts
First comes of stocking of little Nell
First stocking belongs to little Nell
Oh dear Santa fill it well
Santa is asked to fill Nell's stocking with gifts
Give her a dollie that laughs and cries
Nell receives a doll that laughs and cries
One that will open and shut her eyes
The doll has eyes that open and shut
Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go?
Expressing excitement to go with Santa's signature "Ho ho ho"
Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go?
-Up on the house top
Reiteration of Santa coming down the chimney with sounds
Click click click
-Down through the chimney with ole St. Nick
-Next comes the stocking of little will
Next stocking belongs to little Will
Oh, just see what a glorious fill
Will's stocking is filled gloriously
Here is a hammer and lots of tacks
Will receives a hammer, tacks, bow, and a cracking whip
Also a bow and whip that cracks
-Whistle whistle with us
An invitation to whistle along
Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go?
Repetition of the excitement to go with Santa
Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go?
-Up on the house top
-Click click click
-Down through the chimney with ole St. Nick
-Ho oh ho, who wouldn't go?
More excitement and repetition of going with Santa
Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go?
-Up on the house top
-Click click click
-Down through the chimney with ole St. Nick
-Up on the house top reindeers paused
Reindeers pause on the rooftop again
Out jumps good old Santa Claus
Santa jumps out again
Down through the chimney with lots of toys
Santa comes down the chimney with more toys
All part of a little ones with Christmas joys
Reiteration of bringing joy to little ones with Christmas gifts
Ho oh ho, who wouldn't go?
Repetition of excitement to go with Santa, including sounds
Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go?
-Up on the house top
-Click click click
-Down through the chimney with ole St. Nick
Reiteration of Santa coming down the chimney with sounds
