It has to be pause. It gives time for Santa to jump out and reindeer have hooves/hoofs and not paws.

I have seen it written out 3 different ways actually:
1. Reindeer paws.
2. Reindeer pause.
3. Reindeers paused.

I agree - it is pause because the reindeer are stopping to let Santa jump out, plus reindeer don't have "paws", they have hooves  |

I think pause. If you were to use paws as a verb, you would say "a" reindeer paws.

Awesome! We just had this discussion in fifth grade band Thursday! They're playing it and I told them I'd heard it both ways. Funny that their deductions were the same as posted above! Reindeer don't have paws, they have hooves, so it had to be pause! Awesome!

I always thought it was paws but after reading the posts here I think you all are right. Since I learned the lyrics as a young child I probably didn’t know the word ‘pause’ yet.
I looked it up on Wiki and the original lyrics are ‘Up on the house, no delay, no pause’.

haha. I love playing this game. Of course, it is "pause."
I just played this game with "Flintstones. Meet the Flintstones. They're a modern stone-age family..." then we get to "Let's ride, with the family down the street..." and I always thought the next word was "Rudolph." Apparently so does everyone else! It is not, by the way!

I’ll admit it - I even see the word in my mind spelled out - paws.

OP Apparently all I know of your song is “up on the housetop, click click click, down through the chimney with good St Nick.” I know nothing of paws, pause or paused. |

But before I thought about anything rational I immediately thought paws and voted for it. Oh well. |
