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 He's checking it twice He's gonna find out Who's naughty or 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 Better not pout I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town With little tin horns, little toy drums Rudy-toot-toot and rummy tum tums Santa Claus is coming to town And curly head dolls that cuddle and coo Elephants, boats and kiddy cars too Santa Claus is coming to town The boys and girls in toy land Will have a jubilee They're gonna build a toy land town All around the Christmas tree 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 He's checking it twice He's gonna find out Who's naughty or nice Santa Claus is coming... Santa Claus is coming to town
