You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list and checkin' it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when your sleepin'
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
O you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

--- Instrumental ---

With little tin horns
And little toy drums
Rutty toot, toots and rummy tum, tum
Santa Claus is coming to town

With curly head dogs to cuddle and coo
Elephants, ropes, and kiddy cars too
Santa Claus is coming to town

The kids and girl and boy land
Will have a jubilee
There gonna fill the toy land
All around the Christmas trees

So you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is coming

Santa Claus is coming, to town...
