You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa claus is coming to town
Gather round he's making a list
Checking it twice
He's 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
You better watch out
You better not cry
You 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 and girls in boy land will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toyland town
All around the christmas tree
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
And 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
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa claus is coming to town
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa claus is coming
You mean the big fat
Man with the long white beard he's coming to town
