Up on the Rooftop

Up on the Rooftop

The robber stops

From thin air

Pops two cops

They got a tip

That he'd be here

From his friend

Who's deal went queer

Ho, ho, ho

Who shouldn't go

Ho ho ho

Who shouldn't go

Up on the rooftop

Slick, Slick, Slick

Down through the chimney

They go real quick

First comes the room

With lots of silver

There's not much time

For him to pilfer

He has the cops

Right on his tail

Now is not the time

To be a snail

Ho, ho, ho

Who shouldn't go

Ho ho ho

Who shouldn't go

Up on the rooftop

Slick, Slick, Slick

Down through the chimney

They go real quick

Then comes the room

With a great big vase

Run around wildly

Not much space

Pick up the vase

Give a big throw

Look out, boys

Don't be slow

Ho, ho, ho

Who shouldn't go

Ho ho ho

Who shouldn't go

Up on the rooftop

Slick, Slick, Slick

Down through the chimney

They go real quick

Out through the living room

Toward the door

Fast as he can

He can't do more

Hot on his tail

The police chase him

Right to the arms

Of more of them

Ho, ho, ho

Who shouldn't go

Ho ho ho

Who shouldn't go

Up on the rooftop

Slick, Slick, Slick

The cuffs go on
