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 making a list, he's checking it twice
He's 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 when you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
So, you better watch out
You better not cry, you better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Little tin horns, little toy drums
Rudy-toot-toot
And rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is coming to town
Little toy dolls that cuddle and coo
Elephants, boats
And kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is coming to town
The kids in girl and boy land
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 comin', santa claus is comin'
Santa Claus is comin' to town
