Lyrics ♫ Up on the housetop

According to William Studwell in The Christmas Carol Reader, "Up on the Housetop" was the second-oldest secular Christmas song, outdone only by "Jingle Bells", which was written in 1857. It is also considered the first Yuletide song to focus primarily on Santa Claus. - wiki 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. 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. 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. 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. Look in the stocking of little Bill, Oh, just see that glorious fill! Here is a hammer and lots of tacks, Whistle and ball and a set of jacks. 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. Composer - Benjamin Russell Hanby Thanks For Visiting
