Up on the Housetop
Composer Benjamin R. Hanby, of Ohio, wrote this children's favorite in the mid-1800s.
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.
Chorus
Ho, Ho, Ho, Who wouldn't go!
Ho, Ho, Ho, Who wouldn't go!
Up on the housetop, click, click, click,
Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick.
Additional Lyrics:
First comes the stocking of little Nell;
Oh, dear Santa, fill it well;
Give her a dollie that laughs and cries,
One that will open and shut her eyes.
Chorus
