[Intro]
One, two, three

[Refrain]
Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
Here he comes, here he comes
Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
Here he comes, here he comes

[Verse 1: Jackson 5]
Up on the housetop, reindeer pause
Out jumps good old Santa Claus
Down through the chimney with lots of toys
All for everyone's Christmas joys

[Verse 2: Michael Jackson & (Tito Jackson)]
Tito had just one desire
That he gets a new guitar
But he wants a guarantee
(That it won't play out of key)

[Chorus: Michael Jackson & Jackson 5]
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 old St. Nick
(I said) 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 old St. Nick

[Refrain: Jackson 5]
Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
Here he comes, here he comes
Here comes Santa Claus
Here comes Santa Claus
Here he comes, here he comes

[Verse 3: Michael Jackson & (Marlon Jackson)]
Jackie's almost six feet tall
But no hot shot at basketball
Bring him a basket three feet tall
Maybe he'll play like a pro
Marlon wears his shoes so thin
He's gone through his socks again
He's always dancing as you know
(So bring me some shoes with lots of sole)

[Chorus: Michael Jackson & Jackson 5]
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 old St. Nick
(I said) 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 old St. Nick

[Bridge: Jackson 5 & Michael Jackson]
Patter patter pitter patter
Pitter patter patter
Pitter patter pitter patter
Pitter patter patter
Patter patter pitter patter
Pitter patter patter
Patter patter pitter patter
Pitter patter patter
Patter patter pitter patter
Pitter patter patter
Patter patter pitter patter
Pitter patter patter

Oh Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and Vixen
Come on Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen
To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all

[Interlude: Michael Jackson & Jermaine Jackson]
Did you read Santa Claus my list?
All the girls you're waiting to kiss?
Mike, that list was only a joke
Too late, Jermaine, he's bringing you mistletoe
But you just want toys and stuff
Yeah, but that's not even half enough
What I want means more than fun
What's that?
Love and peace for everyone

[Verse 4: Jackson 5]
Up on the house top reindeer stand
Waiting for that dear old man
Up to the chimney with gifts to spare
And lots of Christmas joy to share

[Outro: Michael Jackson & Jackson 5]
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Up out through the chimney — bye, St. Nick
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Up through the chimney — bye, St. Nick
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Up through the chimney — bye, St. Nick
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Up through the chimney — bye, St. Nick
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Up through the chimney — bye, St. Nick
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Up through the chimney — bye, St. Nick
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Up through the chimney — bye, St. Nick
Oh oh, ooh ooh, oh
Up on the housetop, click, click, click
Up through the chimney — hey, baby

The Jackson 5

The Jackson 5 were originally formed in 1963 under the name, The Jackson Brothers. The founding members were Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon. Michael would join the group as the lead singer a year later, a move which pushed Jermaine to sing the backing vocals and play the lead guitar.

After participating in a series of talent shows, they entered the professional music scene in 1967, signing with Steeltown Records and releasing ten singles. In 1969, they left Steeltown Records in order to sign with Motown.

In 1975, most of the Jacksons had opted out of recording any more music for Motown, expressing desires to have creative control over their songs, as well as royalties. Learning that they were earning only 2.8% of royalties from Motown, Joe Jackson, the father and manager of the group, began to negotiate a lucrative contract with Epic records, which offered a royalty rate of 20% per record. The deal was completed in June 1975. As Motown owned the name The Jackson 5, the group simply renamed themselves The Jacksons.
