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
|
Who wouldn't go? Who wouldn't go?
|
Oh, oh, oh, who wouldn't go? Who wouldn't go?
|
|
First comes the stocking of little Nell
|
Oh, dear Santa fill it well
|
Give her a dolly that laughs and cries
|
One that can open and shut its eyes
|
Who wouldn't go? Who wouldn't go?
|
Oh, oh, oh, who wouldn't go? Who wouldn't go?
|
|
Next comes the stocking of little Will
|
Oh, just see what a glorious fill
|
Here is a hammer and lots of tacks
|
Whistle, and ball, and a set of jacks
|
Who wouldn't go? Who wouldn't go?
|
Oh, oh, oh, who wouldn't go? Who wouldn't go?
|
|
Up on the housetop, spirit of the dead
|
Anyone particular, everyone fed
|
I'm in the doorstop holding it down
|
Waiting for a miracle, waiting for a crowd
|
|
One of the scenario, thinking up a cause
|
Anyone particular, any old cause
|
Hands on the counter, feet on the floor
|
Moving to the kitchen and you get your passport
|
|
Up on the housetop, spirit of the dead
|
Down through the chimney is what the man said
|
|
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
|
Who wouldn't go? Who wouldn't go?
|
Oh, oh, oh, who wouldn't go? Who wouldn't go?
|
|
Up on the housetop, spirit of the dead
|
Down through the chimney is what the man said
