[Chorus: Bing Crosby, The Andrews Sisters, Both]
You better watch out
You better not cry
You netter not pout
I'm telling you why (Why?)
Santa Claus is comin' to town, gather 'round

[Verse 1: Bing Crosby, The Andrews Sisters, Both]
He's making a list (Ooo)
And checking it twice (Ooo)
He's 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 if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

[Chorus: Bing Crosby, The Andrews Sisters, Both]
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why (Ooo)
Santa Claus is comin' to town

[Verse 2: Bing Crosby, The Andrews Sisters]
With little tin horns, little tin drums
Rudy-toot-toots and rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town
And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephants, boats and kiddy cars too
Santa Claus is comin' 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

[Chorus: Bing Crosby, The Andrews Sisters]
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town

[Verse 3: Bing Crosby, The Andrews Sisters]
He sees you when you're sleepin'
And he knows when you're awake
He knows when you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

[Chorus: Bing Crosby, The Andrews Sisters, Both]
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town

[Outro: Bing Crosby, The Andrews Sisters, Both]
You mean, the big fat man with the long white beard?
He's comin' to town
