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

He's a making a list
Checking it 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 tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town

With a little tin horn
And a little toy drum
A root a toot, toot
And a rum a tum, tum
Santa Claus is comin' to town

Curly hair 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 tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town

Santa Claus is comin' to town...
