You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town!
Post-Chorus
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've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
Oh! 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!
Post-Chorus
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've 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!
Instrumental
With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Post-Chorus
And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland 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 comin' to town
Outro
Santa Claus is comin'
Santa Claus is comin' to town
