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 see 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!


O! you better watch out!
You better not cry.

You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town


Santa Claus is coming to town

With little tin horns

And little toy drums
Rooty toot toot and rummy tum tum
Santa Claus is coming to town


The kids and girls and boys land
Will have a jubilee

He's goona build a toy land
All arould the christmas tree


So you better not pout
Better not shout
Better not cry

Better not sigh
Tellin' you why
Santa Claus is coming


Better not pout
Better not shout

Better not cry
Better not sigh
Tellin' you why

Santa Claus is coming

I mean the great big man with the snow white beard

Santa Claus is coming to town
