Lyrics
You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's making a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He sees you when you're sleepin'
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
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Watch out!
With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rum pum-pum-pum
Santa Claus is comin' to your town
With curly head dolls that cuddle and coo
Elephants, boats and kiddy cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Every one of the kids in girl and boy land
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toy land town
All around the Christmas tree
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I am telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to your town
Don’t you know that he is comin’?
To a town near you
Don’t you know that he is comin’?
Comin’ like he do
Santa sees you when you're sleepin'
Santa knows when you're awake
Santa knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
<Key change>
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I am telling you why
Santa Claus is comin'
He's comin' to town!
Don’t you know that he is comin’?
Y’all better all get ready
Ho-ho
He’s coming to town
