You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's making a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He sees you when you're sleepin'
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
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town
With curly head dolls that cuddle and coo
Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town
All the kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland town all around that 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
He sees you when you're sleepin'
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
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's comin' to town
