Oh, 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 a making a list, checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and 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 a little tin horn and a little toy drums
A root-a-toot-toot and a rump-a-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 Boyland
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toyland 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
Santa Claus is coming to town
