SecularOrigin: United States of AmericaFirst published 1864
1
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.
2
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 / nice / old) Saint Nick.
3
First comes the stocking of little Nell; Oh, dear Santa fill it well! Give her a dolly that laughs and cries; One that will open and shut her eyes.
4
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 / nice / old) Saint Nick.
5
(Look in / Next comes) the stocking of little (Will/Bill); Oh just see what a glorious fill! Here is a hammer and lots of tacks; A whistle and a ball and a whip that cracks!
6
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 / nice / old) Saint Nick.
