You better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout

I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list

And checking it twice

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

Oh you better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout

I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

With the little tin horns and little toy drums

Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums

Santa Claus is coming to town

And the curly head dolls that cuttle and coo

Elephants boats and kiddy cars too

Santa Claus is coming to town

The kids and girls in boy land

Will have a jubilee

They're gonna build a toy land town

All around the Christmas tree

So you better watch out

Better not cry

Better not pout

I'm telling you why

Santa will be cleeping

Kiddies better be sleeping

Santa Claus is coming to town
