1. 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,
And checking it twice
gonna find out who's
naughty and 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
You better watch out,
You better not cry
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

2. With little tin horns
and little toy drums
with root-ti-toot-toots
and rummy-tum-tums.
Santa Claus is coming to town.
And curley-haired dolls
to cuddle and coo,
elephants, boats and kiddy-cars too.
Santa Claus is coming to town.

***The kids in girl and boy
town - will have a jubilee
they're gonna build a toy land town
all around the christmas tree, so
You better watch out,
You better not cry
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
