Oh, 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   He's checking it twice   Gonna find out who's naughty or nice   Santa Claus is coming 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      So you better watch out   You better not cry   You better not pout   I'm telling you why   Santa Claus is coming to town      Little tin horns, little toy drums   Rudy-toot-toot and rummy tum tums   Santa Claus is coming to town   Little toy dolls that cuddle and coo   Elephants, boats and Kiddie cars too   Santa Claus is coming to town      The kids in girl and boy land   Will have a jubilee   They're gonna build a toy land town   All around the Christmas tree      Ohh, you better watch out   You better not cry   You better not pout   I'm telling you why   Santa Claus is coming to town
