Lyrics
 Santa Claus comes tonight No more days to count, but the even longer wait begins The suspense of having to wait from bedtime to 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 the long white beard Will have stopped by their houses and left the answer to a wish From the most magical sack there ever was

(Ho-ho-ho, ho-ho-ho) (Up on the house top, ho-ho-ho)

Up on the house top reindeer pause Out jumps good old Santa Claus Down through the chimney with lots of toys All part of a little ones with Christmas joys

(Ho-ho-ho) oh, who wouldn't go? (Ho-ho-ho) who wouldn't go? Up on the housetop, click-click-click Down to the chimney with the good St. Nick First comes the stocking of little Nell Oh, dear Santa will fill it well Give her a dolly that laughs and cries One that can open and shut its eyes

(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 the good St. Nick

Look in the stocking of little Bill Oh, just see what a glorious fill Here is a little hammer and lots of tacks A whistle and a ball and whip that cracks

(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 the good St. Nick

(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 the good St. Nick Down through the chimney with the good St. Nick
