Original text and translations

English text 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. R:  Ho, Ho, Ho! Who wouldn't go? Up on the housetop, click, click, click, Down through the chimney with good Saint Nick.

2  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. R.  3  Next comes the stocking of little Will. Oh, just see what a glorious fill; Here is a hammer and lots of tacks, Also a ball and a whip that cracks. R.
