You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list
And checking it twice
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
O!You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
With little tin horns
And little toy drums
Rooty-toot-toots
And rummy-tum-tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
O!You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
And curly head dolls
That toddle and coo
Elephants, boats and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is coming to town
The kids in Girl-and-Boy-Land
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland town
all around the Christmas tree
So, you better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
