Rockin’ on the housetop

1. “Rockin’ on the Housetop”
Christmas Eve I hit the bed by eight.
I saw no need for Santa to be late.
I was fine, I was fine
But after nine, but after nine,
My pumpin’ heart began to palpitate.
I woke up in the middle of the night.
The stars were out, the moon was shinin’ bright.
Got up quick, got up quick
To see Saint Nick, to see Saint Nick,
I heard a sound that gave me such delight.

2. Oh, I heard rock,
Rock,
Rockin’ on the housetop.
Rock,
Rock,
My heart began to hip-hop.
My head was knockin’ ‘cause the roof was
rockin’ tonight.

3. Got up fast and hopped right out of bed.
Reindeer jive was poundin’ in my head.
Saw an elf, saw an elf,
And pinched myself, and pinched myself,
‘Cause there was Santa all dressed up in red.
Up on the roof a party’s goin’ on.
Reindeer dancin’, swingin’ from dusk to dawn.
Jump and jive, jump and jive,
Oh, man alive, oh, man alive,
Before you know it Santa will be gone.

4. Oh, I heard rock,
Rock,
Rockin’ on the housetop.
Rock,
Rock,
My heart began to hip-hop.
My head was knockin’ ‘cause the roof was
rockin’ tonight.

5. Oh, I heard rock,
Rock,
Rockin’ on the housetop.
Rock,
Rock,
My heart began to hip-hop.
I heard a jingle comin’ from a shingle tonight.
And on the roof I heard the reindeer hoofin’
tonight.
My head was knockin’ ‘cause the roof was
rockin’ tonight!
Rockin’ on the housetop!

6. Oh, I heard rock,
Rock,
Rockin’ on the housetop.
Rock,
Rock,
My heart began to hip-hop.
I heard a jingle comin’ from a shingle tonight.
And on the roof I heard the reindeer hoofin’
tonight.
My head was knockin’ ‘cause the roof was
rockin’ tonight!
Rockin’ on the housetop!
