You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's makin' a list and checkin' it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He sees you when you're sleepin'
He knows when you're awake
He knows when 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 comin' to town
With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty-toot-toots and rummy-tum-tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town
With curly head dolls that cuddle and coo
Elephants, boats and kiddy cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town
All the kids in Girl and Boyland
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland town
All around that Christmas tree
So, you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He sees you when you're sleepin'
He knows when you're awake
He knows when 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 comin' to town
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's comin' to town
