UP ON THE HOUSETOP 
Traditional c1880
Starting note: A

Up on the housetop, reindeer pause [D]
Out jumps good ol' Santa Claus [G D A]
Down through the chimney with lots of toys [D]
All for the little ones, Christmas joys [G D A7 D]

Ho, Ho, Ho! Who wouldn't go? [G D]
Ho, Ho, Ho! Who wouldn't go? [A7 D]
Up on the housetop, click, click, click. [D G]
Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick [D A7 D]

First comes the stocking of little Nell, O dear Santa, fill it well; Give 
her a dolly that laughs and cries, One that will open and shut her eyes

Next comes the stocking of little Bill, Oh just see what a glorious fill. 
Here is a hammer and lots of tacks, Also a ball and a whip that cracks.
