Well, 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, checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

Well, 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

Here he comes

Little tin horns, little tin drums
Rudy-toot-toot and rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town

And when curly head dolls that cuddle and coo
Elephants, boats, and kiddy cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town

Now the kids in girl and Boyland
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland
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 comin'
Santa Claus is comin'
Santa Claus is comin' to town

Watch him!
