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
He’s gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees when you are sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you been bad or good
So be good for goodness' sake
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 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 toy land town
All around that Christmas tree
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
He’s gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming
to town
