Now listen here, Chipmunks, to this advice

You better be good and you better be nice

You better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout

I'm telling you why

Why?

Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list

And 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

Okay

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-toots

And rummy tum-tums

Curly haired dolls

That cuddle and coo

Elephants, boats

And Kiddy cars too

The kids in Girl and Boy Land

Will have a jubilee

They're gonna build a Toyland tall

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 coming to town

Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa Claus is coming to town
