Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Santa Clause comes tonight
No more days to count, but the even longer wait begins
The suspense of having to wait from bedtime till morning
Yes, kids all over the world say their prayers and go to sleep
Knowing that when they wake up, the little fat man with a long white beard
Will have stopped by their houses and left the answer to a wish
From the most wonderful, magical sack there ever was
[Verse 2]
(Ho-ho-ho, ho-ho-ho)
(Up on the house top, ho-ho-ho)
[Verse 3]
Up on the house top reindeer pause
Out jumps good ol' Santa Clause
Down through the chimney with lots of toys
All for the little ones, Christmas joys
[Verse 4]
(Ho-ho-ho) Oh, 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
[Verse 5]
First comes the stocking of little Nell
Ol' dear Santa fill it well
Give her a dolly that laughs and cries
One that can open and shut its eyes
[Verse 6]
(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
[Verse 7]
Look in the stocking of little 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
[Verse 8]
(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
[Verse 9]
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
Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick
