Up On The Housetop - Police Edition Poem by Thomas Nedzbala

Up on the Housetop – Police Edition
A very touching version of Benjamin Hanby’s Up on the House Top.
A warm tribute to all dispatchers & police officers everywhere.

Up on the housetop the owner heard a big noise,
the reindeer were so loud that he lost his poise,
a man dressed white & red with a bag and all,
the alarmed resident then made a 911 call.

Ho-Ho-Ho, we got a hot call,
Ho-Ho-Ho we get to go Code-3 and all.
We call for back-up, we know it’s right,
So we can protect everyone this special night.

The man went down my chimney the caller did tell.
That caused us to do a double take as well,
he is putting out presents the caller remarked.
We’re still standing by while the K9 Barked

Ho-Ho-Ho, we got a hot call,
Ho-Ho-Ho we get to go Code-3 and all.
We call for back-up, we know it’s right,
So we can protect everyone this special night.

To set up a perimeter was the thing to do,
Prepare for the K9 and SAU.
He yelled here I am and stopped with a pause,
Walking out of the house was Santa Claus.

Ho-Ho-Ho, we got a hot call,
Ho-Ho-Ho we get to go Code-3 and all.
We call for back-up, we know it’s right,
So we can protect everyone this special night.

We calmed the caller, it’s ok he was told,
Santa still thought about giving him coal.
Santa thanked us for our job and our time,
and keeping the leash on our K9.

Ho-Ho-Ho, we got a hot call,
Ho-Ho-Ho we get to go Code-3 and all
We call for back-up, we know it’s right,
So we can protect everyone this special night.


May you all have a safe and wonderful Christmas Holiday.
