You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not put I'm tellin' you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list and checkin' it twice

Gonna find out who's knotty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town


He sees you when your sleepin'
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 put I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is coming to town


With little tin horns
And little toy drums
Rutty toot, toots and rummy tum, tum

Santa Claus is coming to town

With curly head dogs to cuttle and hug

Elephants, ropes, and kitty card to
Santa Claus is coming to town


The kids and girl and boy land
Will have a jubilee
There gonna fill the toy lad all around with Christmas trees


So you better watch out
You better not cry

You better not put I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming to town
