Up on the Housetop is a Christmas song that was sung in the home video Barney's Night Before Christmas and The Backyard Gang episode Waiting for Santa.

LyricsEdit

Up on the housetop, reindeer pause

Out jumps good old Santa Claus

Down through the chimney with lots of toys, all for the little one's Christmas joys.

Ho-ho-ho, Who wouldn't go?

Ho-ho-ho, Who wouldn't go-o-up on the housetop,

Click-click-click,

Down through the chimney with good 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 her eyes.

Ho-ho-ho, Who wouldn't go?

Ho-ho-ho, Who wouldn't go-o-up on the housetop,

Click-click-click,

Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick.

Next comes the stocking of little Will.

Oh, just see what a glorious fill!

Here is a hammer with lots of tacks, also a ball and a whip that cracks.

Ho-ho-ho, Who wouldn't go?

Ho-ho-ho, Who wouldn't go-o-up on the housetop,

Click-click-click,

Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick.

TriviaEdit

• In Waiting for Santa, only the first verse was sung, along with the song being sang at a slower tempo than how it was sung in Barney's Night Before Christmas.
