Lyrics
Jolly old St. Nicholas, Lean your ear this way!
Don't you tell a single soul, What I'm going to say;
Christmas Eve is coming soon, Now, you dear old man,
Whisper what you'll bring to me: Tell me if you can.
Johnny wants a pair of skates, Susie wants a sled
Nellie wants a picture book, yellow,blue and red
She thinks dolls are folly;
As for me, my little brain isn't very bright;
Choose for me, Santa Claus, What you think is right.
Up on the housetop reindeer pause,
Out jumps Good Old Santa Clause
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 old 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 will open and shut it's eyes
Oh, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go? Oh, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Down through the chimney with old Saint Nick
