You better watch out,
You better not cry
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 and nice,
Santa Claus is comin' 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.
You better watch out,
You better not cry
Better not pout,
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town.
With little tin horns
And little toy drums,
Rooty toot-toot
And rummy tum-tums
Santa Claus is commin' to town.
And curley head dolls
That toddle and coo,
Elephants, boats,
And kiddie cars too,
Santa Claus is commin' to town.
Kids in Girl and Boyland
Will have a jubilee,
They're gonna build a Toyland town,
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.
