Oh you better watch out you better not cry
You better not pout I'm tellin' you why Santa Claus is comin' to town

He's a making a list checking in twice gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' 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
Oh you better watch out...
[ guitar ]
With a little tin horn and a little toy drum a root a toot toot and a rum a tum tum
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Curly hair dolls the cuddle and coo elephants boats and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town
The kids and girls in boyland will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toyland town all around the Christmas tree
Oh you better watch out...
Santa Claus is comin' to town
