Hey, I just came back from a lovely trip along the Milky Way I stopped off at the North Pole to spend a holiday I called on dear old Santa Claus Just to see what I could see And you know he took me to his workshop And told his plans to me, so You better watch out, you better not cry Better not pout, I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town Do do do do do do He's making a list and checking it twice Gonna find out who's naughty and nice Santa Claus is coming to town Do do do do do do He sees you when you're sleeping He knows when you're a wake He knows if you've been bad or good So be good for goodness sake Oh! 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 Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee They're gonna build a Toyland 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 to town
