[Chorus: Bill Champlin]
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
He's checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town!

[Pre-Chorus: Bill Champlin]
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!

[Chorus: Bill Champlin]
So...You better watch out, You better not cry
You better not pout, I'm Telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Little tin horns, little toy drums
Rudy-toot-toot and rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is coming to town
Little toy dolls that cuddle and coo
Elephants, boats and Kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is coming to town
[Pre-Chorus: Bill Champlin]
The kids in Girl and boy land
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toy land town
All around the Christmas tree

[Chorus: Bill Champlin]
Ohh....You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
