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, 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
You better watch out You better not cry You 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
Curly-haired dolls That tootle and coo Elephants, boats and kiddie cars too Santa Claus is coming to town
The kids in girl and boyland Will have a jubilee They're gonna build a toyland All around the Christmas tree
You better watch out You better not cry You better not pout I'm telling you why 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 Goodness sake
