Jimmy, I just came back from a lovely trip along the milky way I stopped off at the North Pole to spend the holiday I called on old, dear Santa Claus to see what I could see He took me to his workshop and told his plans to me
Now Santa is a busy man, he has no time for play He's got millions of stockings to fill come Christmas Day You better write your letter now and mail it right away Because he's gettin' ready, his reindeer's and his sleigh
You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry You'd better not pout, I'm tellin' you why Santa Claus is comin' to town Santa Claus is comin' to town Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's makin' a list, he's checkin' it twice He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice Santa Claus is comin' to town Santa Claus is comin' to town Santa Claus is comin' to town
He sees when you are sleepin' He knows when you're awake He knows if you've been bad or good So be good for goodness sake, oh
You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry You'd better not pout, I'm tellin' you why Santa Claus is comin' to town Santa Claus is comin' to town Santa Claus is comin' to town
Little tin horns and little toy drums Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums Curly head dolls that cuddle and coo Elephants, boats and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town Santa Claus is comin' to town Santa Claus is comin' to town
The kids in girls and boy land will have a jubilee They're gonna build a toy land all around the Christmas tree
So you'd better watch out, you'd better not cry You'd better not pout, I'm tellin' you why Santa Claus is comin' to town Santa Claus is comin' to town Santa Claus is comin' to town Santa Claus is comin' to town
