You better watch out You better not cry Better not pout I’m telling you 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
O! You better watch out You better not cry Better not pout I’m telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town …
With little tin horns And little toy drums Rooty toot toots And rummy tum tums Santa Claus is coming to town
And curly head dolls That toddle and coo Elephants, boats And kiddie cars too Santa Claus is coming to town
The kids in girls and boy land 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 coming Santa Claus is coming Santa Claus is coming to town!
