Lyrics:

Bing Crosby:
You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why:

Andrew Sisters:
Why?

Bing Crosby:
Santa Claus is coming to town,
Gather round.
He's making a list
And checking it twice
He's going to find out.
Who's naughty and nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town.

Andrew Sisters:
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake

Bing Crosby:
He knows if you've been bad or good,

Together:
So be good for goodness sake!
So you better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why:

Andrew Sisters & Bing Crosby:
Oooooooooooooooooo
Santa Claus is coming to town

Andrew Sisters:
With little tin horns
And little toy drums,
Rooty-toot, - toot(s)
And running tum, - tum(s)
Santa Claus is coming to town.
And curly-haired dolls,
That toddle and coo,
Elephants, boats
And kiddie cars, too.
Santa Claus is coming to town.

Bing Crosby:
The kids in girl and boyland
Will have a jubilee.
They're gonna build a toyland town
All around the Christmas tree

Andrew Sisters:
So you better watch out,

Bing Crosby:
You better not cry,

Andrew Sisters:
You better not pout.

Bing Crosby:
I'm telling you why:

Andrew Sisters:
Santa Claus is coming to town.
He sees when you're sleeping
And he knows when you're awake.

Bing Crosby:
He knows if you've been bad or good,
So be good, for goodness sake!
etc.
You mean the big, fat man
With a long white beard

Together:
He's coming to town!!!
