Up on the Housetop Lyrics

[Chorus]
Up on the housetop
Up on the housetop yeah, yeah
Up on the housetop
Up on the housetop click, click, click

[Verse 1]
Up on the housetop reindeer pause
Out jumps good ol' Santa Claus
Down through the chimney with lots of toys
All for the little ones' Christmas joys

[Pre-Chorus]
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 Saint Nick

[Chorus]
Up on the housetop
Up on the housetop yeah, yeah
Up on the housetop
Up on the housetop click, click, click

[Verse 2]
First comes the stocking of little Nell
Oh dear Santa fill it well
Give her a dolly that laughs and cries
One that can open and shut its eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
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 Saint Nick

[Chorus]
Up on the housetop
Up on the housetop yeah, yeah
Up on the housetop
Up on the housetop click, click, click

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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 Saint Nick

[Chorus]
Up on the housetop
Up on the housetop yeah, yeah
Up on the housetop
Up on the housetop

[Bridge]
I'm talking 'bout the
Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen
Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen (4x)

[Pre-Chorus]
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 Saint Nick

[Chorus]
Up on the housetop
Up on the housetop yeah yeah
Up on the housetop
Up on the housetop, click, click, click (ah)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
