Making a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

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 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!

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

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rudy-toot-toots and rummy-tum-tums
Santa Claus is coming to town

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rudy-toot-toots and rummy-tum-tums
And curly head dolls that tuddle and coo
Elephants, boats and kiddie cars too

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rudy-toot-toots and rummy-tum-tums
And curly head dolls that tuddle and coo
Elephants, boats and kiddie cars too

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rudy-toot-toots and rummy-tum-tums
And curly head dolls that tuddle and coo
Elephants, boats and kiddie cars too...

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rudy-toot-toots and rummy-tum-tums
Santa Claus is coming to town

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rudy-toot-toots and rummy-tum-tums
Santa Claus is coming to town
