Oh, 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

With little tin horns
And little toy drums
Rooty toot toots
And rumpy tum tums
Santa Claus is coming to town, hey

Oh, 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

All the kids in girl and boyland
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toyland
Down, all around the Christmas tree

With little tin horns
And little toy drums
Rooty toot toots
And rumpy tum tums
Santa Claus is coming, Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming to town
