Words (first verse)
Up on the housetop reindeer pause, Out jumps good old Santa Claus;
Down thro' the chimney with lots of toys, All for the little ones, Christmas joys.
Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go! Ho, ho, ho! who wouldn't go!
Up on the housetop, click, click, click, Down thro' the chimney with good Saint Nick.
