"Up on the House-Top"
| |
|
|
|
| |
1. |
Up on the house-top the reindeer pause,
Out jumps good old Santa Clause;
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 house-top, click, click, click,
Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick. |
|
| |
2. |
First comes the stocking of little Neil,
Oh dear Santa, fill it well;
Give her a dolly that laughs and cries,
One that will open and shut her eyes.

|
Chorus |

3. |
Look in the stocking of little Bill,
Oh, just see what a glorious fill!
Here is a hammer and lots of tacks,
Whistle and a ball and a whip that cracks! |
