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
Gonna find out
Who's naughty or 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
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
Rooty toot toots
And rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is coming to town
With curly head 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
They're gonna build a toy land
All around the Christmas tree
So you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming to town
