Here is the Leroy Carr version of "Papa's on the Housetop" with a few more verses:
Papa's on the Housetop
Leroy Carr
Mama told papa be quiet as a mouse
Papa climbed up on top of the house
Made a lot of whoopee, made a lot of noise
Stood up and cheered with the rest of the boys
Chorus:
Baby's in the cradle, brother's gone to town
Sister's in the parlor trying on a gown
Mama's in the kitchen messin all around
Papa's on the housetop and won't come down
The blues they come, yeah the blues they come
Nobody knows where the blues come from
The blues they go, the blues they go
And everybody's happy when the old blues go
Chours
Papa saw a chicken running through the yard
Picked up a rock and he hit him hard
Hit him hard, killed him dead
Now the chicken's in the gravy and the gravy's on the bread
Chorus
Hush little baby don't you cry
Blues gonna leave you by and by
Papa came in, sure was cross
Put the baby in the cradle put the blues outdoors
