Up On The Housetop - Sufjan Stevens

Up on the housetop reindeer pause

Out jumps good old Santa Claus

Down through the chimney with lots of toys

All for the little ones, Christmas joys

Who wouldn’t go?

Who wouldn’t go?

Oh, oh, oh, who wouldn’t go?

Who wouldn’t go?

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

Who wouldn’t go?

Who wouldn’t go?

Oh, oh, oh, who wouldn’t go?

Who wouldn’t go?

Next comes the stocking of little Will

Oh, just see what a glorious fill

Here is a hammer and lots of tacks

Whistle, and ball, and a set of jacks

Who wouldn’t go?

Who wouldn’t go?

Oh, oh, oh, who wouldn’t go?

Who wouldn’t go?

Up on the housetop, spirit of the dead

Anyone particular, everyone fed

I’m in the doorstop holding it down

Waiting for a miracle, waiting for a crowd

One of the scenario, thinking up a cause

Anyone particular, any old cause

Hands on the counter, feet on the floor

Moving to the kitchen and you get your passport

Up on the housetop, spirit of the dead

Down through the chimney is what the man said

Up on the housetop reindeer pause

Out jumps good old Santa Claus

Down through the chimney with lots of toys

All for the little ones, Christmas joys

Who wouldn’t go?

Who wouldn’t go?

Oh, oh, oh, who wouldn’t go?

Who wouldn’t go?

Up on the housetop, spirit of the dead

Down through the chimney is what the man said
