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 makin' a list and checkin' it twice 

And gonna find out who's naughty or nice 

Santa Claus is comin' 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 


Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry 

You better not pout, I'm tellin' you why 

Santa Claus is comin' to town 


With the little tin horns and little toy drums

Roody-toot-toots and rummy-tum-tums

Santa Claus is comin' to town


And the curly haired dolls that toddle and coo

Elephants, boats and kiddy cars too

Santa Claus is comin' to town


The kids in girl and boy land

Will have a jubilee

Their gonna build a toyland town

All around the Christmas tree


So, you better watch out, you better not cry 

You better not pout, I'm a-tellin' you why 

Santa will be peepin'

Kiddies better be sleepin' 

Santa Claus is comin' to town...
