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,
He's 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 when you've been bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake
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-toots 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
The kids in Girl and Boy Land will have a jubilee.
They're gonna build a Toyland town
All around the Christmas tree.
You better watch out, you better not cry,
You better not pout, I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming 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
You better watch out, you better not cry,
You better not pout, I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town
You better watch out, you better not cry,
You better not pout, I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming
He's the big fat man with long white beard,
Santa Claus is coming,
Santa Claus is coming,
Santa Claus is coming
He is that ugly fat dude in the funky red suite
