You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list and 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 that you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness's sake
Oh, 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)
(Rudy toot, toots and rummy tum tums)
(Santa Claus is coming to town)
And curly haired dolls that cuddle and coo
Elephants boats and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is coming to town
(The kids in girl and boy land)
(Will have a jubilee)
(They're gonna build a toy land town)
(All around the Christmas tree)
So you better watch out (better watch out)
You better not cry (better not cry)
You better not pout
I'm telling you why (telling you)
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming to town
Merry Christmas
