You better watch out, you better not cry You better not pout, I'm tellin' you why Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's makin' a list and checkin' it twice Gonna find out who's naughty and nice Santa Claus is comin' 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 tellin' you why Santa Claus is comin' to town
With little tin horns and the little toy drums Rudy-toot-toot and rummy tum tum Santa Claus is comin' to town
And curly head dolls that cuddle and coo Elephant, boat and the kiddy cars too Santa Claus is comin' Santa Claus is comin' Santa Claus is comin' to town
