Oh you better watch out you better not cry
You better not pout I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town

He's a making a list checking in 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 when 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 comin' to town

With a little tin horn and a little toy drums
A root a toot toot and a rum a tum tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town

And curly head dolls that cuddle and coo
Elephants boats and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town

The kids and girls in boyland will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toyland town all around the Christmas tree
Oh you better watch out you better not cry
You better not pout I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
