(Haven Gillespie - Fred J. Coots)

Oh you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout, I'm a telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town.

He's a making a list,
Checking in 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.

Oh you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout, I'm a telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town.

--- Instrumental ---

All the girls and boys in joyland
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toyland
All around the Christmas tree.

Oh you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout, I'm a telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town.

Santa Claus is comin' to town...
