Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ho ho ho ho ho ho
Up on the House top ho ho ho
Up on the house top reindeer paused
Out jumps good old Santa Claus
Down through the chimney with lots of toys
All part of a little ones with Christmas joys

Oh oh oh who wouldn't go? Oh ho ho who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop
Click click click
Down to the chimney with the good St. Nick
First come the stop in the middle bell
Hope dear Santa feeling well
Give her a doll in the laps and cries one that can open and shut it tight

Oh ho ho who wouldn't go Oh ho ho who wouldn't go?
Up on the house top, click click click
Down to the chimney with good St. Nick

Look in the stop in the middle bell
Hope just sees what a glorious well
Here's a little hammer and lots of pact
A whistle and a ball and a wood clap clap
Oh ho ho who wouldn't go? Oh ho ho who wouldn't go?
Up on the house top, click click click
Down through the chimney with the good St. Nick
Oh oh ho who wouldst go? Oh ho ho who wouldn't go?




Up on the house top, click click click
Down through the chimney with good St. Nick
