You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list and checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when your sleeping
He knows when you are awake
He knows if you have been bad or good
So be good for goodness' sake
Oh you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rutty toot toots and rummy tum, tums
Santa Claus is coming to town
With curly haired dolls to cuddle and coo
Elephants, ropes, and kiddy cars too
Santa Claus is coming to town
The kids in girl and boy land
Will have a jubilee
There going to build a toy land town
All around the Christmas tree
Oh you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
[Instrumental]
He sees you when your sleeping
He knows when you are awake
He knows if you have been bad or good
So be good for goodness' sake
Oh you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming, to town...
